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.
