When looking at the Soviet Union in the 1930s, the establishment of Stalinism immediately comes to mind. During this period of time, the Soviet Union was a victim of many misfortunes and encountered many external threats.

A period of conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union, the Cold War acted as a key period in world history. The Cold War lasted from 1945 through 1991. Through numerous clashes coming from the spreading of communist ways, both the U.S. and Soviet Union indirectly fought each other.

Even though indirectly, the…

After the end of the second World War, the fragile alliance between the United States and the USSR (otherwise known as the Soviet Union) was quickly shattered. This was due to a dislike of how one country disliked the other’s form of government of how they ran their country, secrets to the devastating atomic bomb, and the ultimate fear of being attacked by one or another. The dissolution of this frangible friendship is what lead to the forty-five year long rivalry between the United States and…

The Cold War which started in 1946 to 1991 was a global military, political, economic, ideological struggle between the U.S. and Britain, and the Soviet Union (U.S.S.R.). The Cold War was not only a struggle between two nations, but what the nations represented or stood for: Democracy and Communism. This led to a series of wars, most memorably the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the fall of the U.S.S.R. Adolf Hitler's Nazi empire in Europe was defeated by the joint efforts of then allies the…
