    Historians often claim wars speed domestic change. When analyzing changes which occurred as a result of WWI, WWII, and the Cold War, this argument holds true as each war generated rapid social and policy change which would not have occurred without its influence.

For Progressives, the war “offered the possibility of reforming American society… instilling a sense of national unity and expanding social justice” (Crash Course #30). This possibility enabled ratification of the 18th Amendment, prohibiting the sale and distribution of alcohol.…

This war became tougher in the late 1940s and early 1950s with Communists, known as “Reds,” and Soviets.…

The Soviet Union had sent thousands of troops into Afghanistan, and they quickly assumed political and military control of Kabul and other large portions of the country. This overt display of Soviet force formally ended the period of détente that had been used by Nixon and Ford. The invasion was significant because it was the first time the Soviet Union had invaded a country outside of the Eastern Bloc.
