Superpowers

In my opinion between u.s.s.r and u.s.a i am on the side of u.s.a because soviet union are backstabber. i dont even like backstabbers as my friends so why go for a goverment i mean thats just stupid. i know we wanted to control everybody but we also helped alot of people with troops, money, and weapons and what has soviet union done for people nothing. im a very giving and helpful person and i would rather go for a goverment that is like me. another reason why im for u.s.a is because of politics nationalism strengthened the Civil Rights movement. to me i think civil rights movments were very important because i think everybody should be treated equaly not judged by there skin color or anything else that is out of normalcy

U.S.A's role in the cold war

in my opinion i think u.s.a played a very big role in the cold war because we supported other nations by sending troops and sending weapons for other nations as long as they stayed nationalist and not communist. if we wouldnt have help out the other nations who know's where or who they would be today. but the main goal for u.s.a was to support other nations and to stop the spread of communist and their main goal's were accomplished

On 25 June 1950, the young Cold War suddenly turned hot, bloody and expensive.

Summary of the Cold War

The Cold War began after World War two between United States and Soviet Union. Experts say that they called it Cold War because they didnt want to fight directly at each other. there is alot of disagreement about when the Cold War ended. A few believe it ended when the United States and the Soviet Union improved relations during the nineteen-sixties and early nineteen-seventies. Others believe it ended when the Berlin Wall was torn down in 1989, or when the Soviet Union collapsed in late 1991.

As the Cold War was goin on, on March 1947 Harry Truman(the president)asked congress for 400 million dollars in aid for Greece and Turkey. He argued for the money and this became known as the Truman Doctrine(a plan to give money and military aid to countries threatened by communism).

Experts say the Cold War started because United States wanted all nations to be capitolism but the Soviet Union didnt want to so, they faught. Once the United States won Soviet Union was still communism.
