What is Communism and Capitalism?What does it have to do in the cold war?
The cold war
The cold war started by two parities that were afraid. The US and the The Soviet Union aka (USSR).It began after the world war II ended as the USSR were scared that the US will benefit and gain massive profit and power by slowly dominating the West Europe by promoting the US market etc. The Soviet Union was scared because they thought that the US main objective is to reach to the USSR and kill communism. Anther reason why the USSR was scared was off course from the US Nuclear weapons arsenal. The US saw the USSR were slowly taking over East Europe and possibly creating World War III.They raced each other tell they meet right down the middle Berlin. After a while the USSR got of the hang of successfully managed to make an atomic bomb ,after many many attempts. So the whole world was involved and had to pick a side. |

Conclusion
The war was quite mind-blowing the two big super powers against each other. It had so much hype that everbody was in danger. In the end the US won for many reasons and in 1989 and 1990, the Berlin Wall came down, borders opened, and free elections ousted Communist regimes everywhere in eastern Europe. In late 1991 the Soviet Union itself dissolved into its component republics. With stunning speed, the Iron Curtain was lifted and the Cold War came to an end. |
