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.

World War Two was a system-changing event in the context of the international system, which eventually materialised in the emergence of the "bi-polar era". The representative leaders who dealt with the aftermath had the benefit of decades of vital political experience, such as Winston Churchill (MP since 1900), Joseph Stalin (Bolshevik revolution, 1917), and Roosevelt (elected 1932 and in fourth term by death in 1945). These were experienced politicians who acted in precise and deterministic…
