Instructor: Anthony Guerrero Soto
Course: SS211 The 1960’s Reshaping the American Dream

The three people I interviewed were people that I worked with at my place of employment. I choose to do it this way because I felt that I would get a more broad understanding of how well people know about the Cold War. The three people I interviewed were Tracy, Kathy and Kelly. I asked the same question to all the interviewees and those question were as follows: What words or phrases come to mind when you think of the term Cold War? Who were the parties involved in the Cold War? Can you name any key events that we mainly associate with the Cold War? I thought beforehand that it would be good to study up and a little on the time period on the topic of the Cold War before interviewing others so with that being said I found out through my research that the Cold War was between mainly two super power which were that of Russia and the United States. At the same time there was war going on in Vietnam with the North Vietnamese and the United States as well as conflict with Korea. The United States and Russia began an arms race during this time period in preparation for an all-out never seen before war between the two largest superpowers on planet earth. Altogether my analysis of the Cold War is that it was between the United States and the Soviet Union or Russia to control the world and inflict there economical and Governmental ideas on the rest of the world. This time period was roughly between 1945 and 1991 or some historians say between 1945 and 1991 or when the Soviet Union collapsed. As I mentioned above I asked three question and I know if I was going to ask these question then I needed to answer them first. The first question I asked what word or phrases come to mind when you think of the term Cold War? I asked myself this very question and came up with such terms as arm

    The Cold War was a state of political, military, and economic tensions and hostilities between the Communist World, primarily the Soviet Union, and the Capitalist Western World, the United States and its allies. The Cold War lasted over 40 years because the beginning and ending of it leaves room for some debate. Some sources say it started in the mid to late 40’ after the Second World War while other historians date it back to 1917 with The Bolshevik Revolution and ending in 1991 with the collapse of the Soviet Union. In that case the Cold War then lasted for over 70 years. The periods when tensions were at the most high were from the late 40s to the 70’s. The international incidences of particular note that brought things to the boiling point were the Berlin Blockade (‘48-‘49), the Korean War (‘50-‘53), Berlin Crisis (‘61), the Vietnam War (’59-’75), and the Cuban Missile Crisis (’62). There were points, like the Cuban Missile Crisis, were the United States were very close to engaging in a nuclear war with the Soviet Union and its allies. The Cold War spread at home too during a heightened state of fear and panic called the Second Red Scare. This lasted approximately 10 years from 1947-1957 during a time when the country was worried about national and foreign communists taking over society and the federal government. Anyone, from actors to politicians, and just the ordinary working class person accused of any communist ties, could lose their job, property, and face imprisonment even with lack of proof or evidence to support the claims.…

    The Cold War described the relationship between the US and the Soviet Union and began shortly after World War II and was mainly caused by the differing views of capitalism vs. communism and a distrust the two countries had for each other. A big reason for the distrust was because the Soviets had developed atomic bombs. Bombs kept by both countries kept each other on edge. The cold war lasted roughly 45 years beginning in 1945 and ending in 1991 after the falling of the berlin…

    The Cold War was a war not fought directly but indirectly between the US and the USSR. The United States economy had boosted up during World War II and it was continuing to grow after and would continue for many years. There were enough jobs for almost all Americans and they were all living almost comfortably. When the Second World War was over the United States rose as the most “powerful country in the world” [1]. They were also the only ones to have the atomic bomb. After a few years of being the only country with this power the Soviet Union created and tested an atomic bomb. After that moment it became a race of which country could create the most for protection and intimidation. As an American citizen this is when the Cold War started, with the successful test of the atomic bomb in USSR and uneasiness at its highest.…

    The Cold War was by chance the most stressful part of the World’s history than anything else because it stretched across the entire globe and affected every country in one way or another. There are several reasons that the Cold War began and several different points that can be described as the beginning of the Cold War. By far the most influential part of the Cold War was the distrust that Joseph Stalin had between Winston Churchill and Harry Truman. The hostile relationship between the countries began when the Soviet Union would not open invade the Eastern part of Europe pushing Germany back and helping out the rest of the allies (Crash Course #39). The Cold War was a time that no one wanted to blink because they were afraid they might miss something important.…
