Why Did The Cold War Start
The Cold War was a conflict between the west lead United States of America and the communist block lead by the former Soviet Union. It lasted almost 4 decades and a half from
1945-1991- the collapse of USSR. It was fought in neutral areas, space, Africa and Asia.

The reasons leading to this conflict are the interests of the different allies, the ideological differences, and militarism. (Islam for today)
The first and basically far most important reason is the ideological conflict. Lebanon's population is geographically divided. The south is mostly populated by the Shia sect and the north is populated by Sunnis, the Minorities, the Druz and others (Wikipedia). The Shia is one of the two main sects of Islam alongside the Sunni. The Shi'a believes that the successor after Muhammad's death should have been Ali and the Sunni's believe that the 4 caliphs chosen were the right selection. In Lebanon this is a main issue because each sect is after the power to rule the country in order to enforce their own laws on their dominated region (Islam for today). Militias of different religious and political groups armed by regional powers fought in a bitter civil war that lasted twenty years between 1975 and 1995. The aftermath of the Israeli occupation of southern Lebanon in March 1978, the Shia formed a strong militia that fought against the Israelis. This militia was backed and funded by the new regime
