    One such way that Canada tried to protect itself from the “Russian bear” was make alliances. By the end of WWII, United Nations was formed, with Canada as one of its founding countries. Canada had hoped that his would solve the problem of the Cold War. But the UN, with no military force of its own, could not enforce its rulings on the USSR and the problem worsened as the Soviets were given the power to veto important rulings against them. Therefore, in 1949, Canada joined NATO, an organization based on the principal of collective security and would grant them protection and support from other countries if they were ever invaded. Years after, with the threat of nuclear war still very real, a bilateral alliance was formed among the Canadians and Americans, NORAD.…

    Since Cold War began at the end of World War in the late 1940s, the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, were racing their power to get their dominance over another. Each side feared the other’s superior weapons, such as the United States had nuclear weapon and the USSR had their mighty Red Army. The Cold War spread through decades and seemed to be indefinite. Two superpowers with the race of weapon not only weakened their economy but also threaten each other with their massive arsenals.

    In the past half century, the conflict within the once unified nation of Korea has been the centre of global attention.

    The Soviet Union’s hope for the spread of communism and communist supremacy throughout the world was obvious; it gained control of North Korea after the end of Japan’s Imperialist rule with the end of the Second World War. Stalin had Mao as a new ally with China’s conversion to communism in 1950, and this brought to him a great advantage. The Sino-Soviet Treaty in 1950 ensured that along with gaining a communist neighbor, Stalin could be given support by the Chinese in the form of supplies, tactics and troops if he decided to invade South Korea in the hopes of spreading communism further. The victory of the CCP in China provided the USSR with battle hardened Chinese soldiers, which only encouraged him further. The eagerness of Stalin (as well as Kim Il Sung) to expand communist territories, according to the traditionalist view, would have been the main reason for their decision to let North Korea invade the South and create a massive outbreak.…

The tensions between these countries came into the forefront during their attempts to spread their own policies to places such as Berlin, Korea, and Cuba.
