The Cold War was an interesting time period for the world, seeing that it was after one of the biggest and most memorable wars ever. Yet, it was a different type of war. One that no one had ever seen before, it was a war without fighting (kind of). It was a war fought in between the USSR and the United States. Each side also included their allies: the US had NATO and the USSR had the Warsaw pact. The timeframe of this war was from 1947 to 1991. Despite the fact that this war is one of the longest in our history, I have chosen three main points that I think are vital for understanding the Cold War.
Before when I said that this war took place without any fighting between the sides, I wasn’t lying. However, instead of directly fighting each other, they supported different sides during other wars that had the same ideals as them. Two examples of this would be the Vietnam War and the Korean War. The Vietnam War was the classic North versus South. North Vietnam was communist and it didn’t agree with the beliefs of South Vietnam who was somewhat capitalistic and had a democracy. Well, eventually, the two clashed and both the US and the USSR saw this as an opportunity to “fight” each other, at least when it came to their ways of government. The story of the Korean War was the same. Two different groups with two different ideologies went to war with each other and again the US and USSR saw it fit to get involved to prove a point to each other and the world. Still today we can see remnants of outcomes from both of these wars. In Korea we can see the south part flourishing while the north part is still seething over the division 50 years ago. In Vietnam we saw resentment as we merged the two into one country. So even though the Cold War has ...

...media and press differ greatly between the two government styles. In America, we have a first amendment that guarantees the freedom of press. This means that the press has the right to put opinions within the media that they produce and distribute without censorship by the government. That is an entirely different story when it comes to the Soviet Union. Their press and media were super censored meaning that nothing got out to the public that the government didn’t approve first. That eliminated the threat of revolt.
As I examined the Cold War, interesting stories and facts appeared that fascinate our minds with wonders about what it was like back then. But, by pulling out three main points, I was able to understand the basics of the Cold War and get an insight into what really happened and how it affects the world that we live in today.

- The Cold War Essayanalytical essayThe Cold War was unlike any war in the world’s history. It was a war based on fear and tension instead of blood and rage like the world had already grown accustomed to. It was a battle that took place on no frontier and left no blood soaked land. Instead, it was a battle that took place in the minds of the United States of America’s citizens and the citizens of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. It was a battle of wits that many feared would lead up to the third World War. On the contrary, it led to almost nothing. It just ended without any real battle. The only battles fought in this war were battles of psychological warfare which included propaganda against communism and in support of the Cold War, McCarthyism or what resembled witch hunts which contributed to the Red Scare in the United States of America, the Space Race, the Berlin Airlift, and then the creation of the Hydrogen Bomb. The creation of the bomb created tension between the two world super powers, but there was not any usage of the bomb. The bomb just remained a terrorizing thought in the back of many scared citizen’s minds.

The key to understanding the role that the two ideologies played throughout the Cold War lies in the conflicts that occurred both before and after World War Two. Such events as the World War One, Russian Civil War, and the Munich Agreement helped fuel the rival ideologies’ anger that would lead to the Cold War. The role of the ideologies can also be found in the paths that the leaders of Great Britain, Russia, and the United States took.

Cold War is defined as a state of political hostility existing between countries, characterized by threats, violent propaganda, subversive activities, and other measures short of open warfare, in particular. The causes of the Cold War between United States and the Soviet Union were the mutual distrust that had taken place in World War II, intense rivalry between the two super powers, and conflicting ideologies. The two superpowers differed in views of political and economic principles and were eager to spread their ideologies to other countries. The United States were in favor of democracy and capitalism while the Soviet Union sought for the chances of influencing communism.
