Cold War 1960
The Cold War – Conflict of 1945 – 1960
The cold war was the conflict that happened during the time period of 1945 through 1960 between the democratic nations led by the United States and the Communist nations led by the Soviet Union. The cold war was fought in the most part by using propaganda, the economy, haggling with the occasional military clash. The politics of the cold war is mostly theory but can be categorized as a struggle to expand, contain and pertained to money. As of today historians have not reached an agreement on the time that the cold war actually began. In 1947 when President Truman of the United States announced the anti-communist policy the cold war between the United States and the Soviet Union had begun.
The cold war stemmed from before the Second World War and had deep-rooted ideological, economic and political differences between the United States and the Soviet Union. The democracy of the United States allows the government to be elected by free elections. The political parties of the United States are formed by the people who are able to voice their political opinions. The people of the United States also have the right of assembly, free speech and of speech of the press. The government of the Soviet Union is formed by the Communist Party. The people of the Soviet Union do not have the right to form political parties, free speech, press or the ability to form their own political parties. Since these two parties are opposed to one another, this leaves little room to compromise between the United States and the Soviet Union.
The main threat that the cold war had on the American people was the threat of international communism coming to the United States and the instability and threat of a nuclear confrontation. It was also a fear that one of the occasional military conflicts would blow up into a worldwide military confrontation that would end in a nuclear exchange. This
