The cold war started after the Second World War and was a time of political conflict between mainly the US and the Soviet Union with propaganda and threats being more prominent than direct warfare. The cold war was a time of rebellion, reform and communism in which many new ideas were formed, country relationships were created and destroyed, and new technologies were developed. The cold war is an important aspect of our history as it helped to shape the world that we live in today and is still having as significant impacting on aspects of our society today.

During World War 2 the USA and the Russia put aside their differences and united to defeat Adolf Hitler and his Nazi army and drive them out of Europe for the greater good of the world, America however after the war saw Russia communism as a threat to their nationalistic culture and democratic society. The USA and USSR’s relationships developed during World War 2 quickly diminished as America declared war on Russia for their communist way. After America declared war on Russia during the Cold War Russia formed new relationships with other countries such as Moldova, Ukraine, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan who were also all communist countries and enemies of the USA and together plus other countries formed the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR). The Soviet Union developed good relations between countries, traded and sold goods to each other in order to survive without any trade with the USA. The USA allied with other democratic societies such as Australia and the UK in an effort to defeat the Soviet Union, suppress their communist ideals and create a free and democratic world.

During the cold war due to the conflict between the USA and the USSR many new weaponry systems were developed, one of these weapons was missiles as well as new methods of launching them with pin point accuracy using orbital satellites. This new development ment that there were constant threats between countries to launch a missile at the other, this was a defining aspect of the cold war as it meant that countries could still fight and have power without sending soldiers onto a battle field. The development of missiles also greatly contributed to the space race as many missile designs were used to create space shuttles including the rocket used by Yuri Gagarin, the first man to ever go to space. Many new long range fighter jets and bombers were also developed for dropping bombs on opposing countries, these planes contributed to the space race also but not as much as they contributed to the development of modern day planes as we know them. Unlike rockets and space shuttles which orbit the planet as they travel, plane rely on gliding, lift and aerodynamics in order to fly. Many new fighter jets were being made to be able to fly as mac 1 and were the start of a new generation of military and commercial planes like the sophisticated ones that we travel on today that allow us to travel around the world with ease.
