The Cold War brought a powerful impact and anxiety towards the American Society between 1945 to 1975. The Cold War developed due to the opposite values between the United States and Soviet Union. The United States represented "capitalism, free market, private enterprise, individual liberty, and open political system"(Lecture#10). While the Soviet Union beliefs were "communism, state planning, state enterprise, community good, single party/limits on dissent" (Lecture#10). The United States and…

The blame for the development of the Cold War rests most heavily on the United States’ shoulders; however, the origins of the war overall stemmed from a back and forth struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union for spheres of influence. The United States was overly aggressive and preemptive in its policy to expand it’s sphere of influence and contain the Soviets’. In all fairness, these preemptive actions were not without justification; however, these justifications lay less…

The Post-Revisionist Perspective The Cold War describes the ironic relationship that emerged post World War Two between the United States and the Soviet Union, officially the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The word ironic is appropriate in describing the relationship as the two fought together during the Second World War in opposition to the Axis powers to help defeat Nazi Germany. This would reasonably lead one to believe that the relationship post-war would have been one of unity given…

Mongols dominated Russia from 1240 to nearly the end of the of the 16th century CE. The empire conquered by Genghis Khan was split after his death among his heirs and eventually divided into four smaller, though not insignificant Khanates. According to David O.

Due to the…

Authors portray characters in different ways to help express events that are happening in the world that they live in that are either in some cases forbidden to talk about or are a sensitive topic for most of the population. In the novel One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich certain characters such as Ivan, Alyosha, Tiurin, and Fetiukov all have different backgrounds but all end up in the same situation which is being thrown into the gulag and they all have the different traits that could…

Russian culture has always had a big impact on my life as a mixed, Russian/Black individual. And as most Russians will tell you, food is a huge part of their culture. I grew up with so many diverse food on my plate over the year and simply assumed that that was just what everyone ate until I started going to school and noticing other kids lunches, and they started to notice mine. But at the heart of my semi-Russian experience there are four foods that seem to best capture the ideal Russian…

Russia Emerges Once a strong world power, Russia is beginning to re- emerge as a political and economical power. The beginning of Russia’s re-emergence began in the early 90s after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Russia has taken many necessary measures to regain the power they once attained. 1. What are the Eastern Partnership initiative and the Eurasian Economic Union? Why are they contentious? The Eastern Partnership initiative gives the Eastern European countries access to the Western…

Russia was known for size, strength and brutality but just beyond its borders was great suffering. As an undeveloped nation, Russia struggled to keep up to the rest of Europe. This sparked an intense desire for change at any cost. While Russia was falling apart, the leader of the Bolshevik party rose to popularity - Vladimir Lenin. Lenin’s communist views, that were based off the ideals of Marxism, promised a new way in Russia with plentiful land, bread and peace. The rise of the Bolsheviks and…

Orthodox Church, Islam, or Christianity community. About the Culture The Eastern culture that I chose for this week’s assignment is the Russian culture.
