The Cold War was characterized as a conflict between Western European government ideclogy and Eastern European socialist government ideology that lasted from 1945-1991. At the time, the USSR and the United States were competing superpowers with very different leadership ideas.This clash between ideclogies began as a way to slow the spread of communism throughout the world. Though. neither country officially declared war on each other, a series of proxy wars took place, in which other allied countries would fight each other while being supported by either the USSR or United States.
Does anyone have any other facts they would like to share about the Cold War?
Since the two countries never engaged in battle with each other, the term "Cold War" was used to describe the conflict between the two nations. One way that the two countries fought in the Cold War was through the use of influence Events such as the "Race to Space" and the "Nuclear Arms Race became competitions for the demonstration of power and influence in these two "races" bot's superpowers competed with each other to show their technological and military power. As both countries began to develop nuclear weapons, the spread of their different forms of idealogy throughout the world was viewed as a mutual threat and the fight to slow the spread became an Important issue on both sides Due to the decline of the Soviet Union and subsequent independence of its member states, the idea of a communist Superpower began to fade. The Cold War came to an end in 1991 with the election of Boris Yeltsin
Excuse me Sir, I would like to add something
Peace did not arrive when World War II finally came to an end. Instead, the Cold War began. This is an important topic for students to understand, because the Cold War dominated U.S. and world history for almost the entire second half of the 20th century, and its effects are felt today in many ways.
Yes, you are very much right. Appreciate your input
Thank you dear students. Hope this was an enjoyable session!
