Germany's Involvement In The Cold War

The cold war got started by the erection of the Berlin Wall which was used to stop people from escaping the country. When the wall got put up the Americans started flying spy planes and found out that Soviets had nuclear missiles capable of going off and heading straight for places in the United States. When the United States found out about the missiles they got a navy

The Cold War was a period of espionage and international rivalry between the U.S. and the USSR. It involved no armed conflicts between the two nations but was just as expensive. The Cold War was caused by tension during WWII and political ideologies which created distrust and pushed the U.S. and the USSR to the edge of conflict. The Cold War affected the legacies of both the U.S. and the USSR.

The Cold War was different from other wars because it was fought economically. In Document A, it shows the amount of money the U.S. gave to European countries. Britain and France, allied with the United States, received the most money. The United States used their economic power to get allies to stay democratic. The war was fought economically because the U.S. gave the most money to their allied countries, while the Eastern countries

The Cold War was brought on by the differences in economic treatment and political ideology between the US and USSR that could no longer be ignored once the common goal of fighting together as WWII drew to a close and ended. The two powerful countries saw the other country’s actions, or lack of actions, as a power grab and a threat to their own national security. Threats of nuclear attack caused many issues between the US and USSR. The two countries acted to prevent the expansion of each other’s political ideology into other countries.

The Cold War was an intellectual battle between communists and anti communists to have their own dominance over the modern world. The Cold War started as most wars do, two sides disagreeing with each other. In this case one side wanted to stop the spread of communism and the other side wanted them to butt out. What happens when both sides have strong opinions and potentially dangerous ideas? It just adds more fuel to the fire. The two sides specifically were the USA and the USSR. Needless to say the USA was against communism and the USSR wasn’t.

The Cold War came as a result of the repercussions of World War II and aided in the new creations of weapons to fight upcoming wars. This war was primarily fought between the two largest powers of the time: Soviet Union and United States.The conflict deepened during the Cold War as the distrust furthered between the Soviet Union and the United States.

The cold war is a state of political between countries by threats, propaganda, and other measures short of open warfare in particular. The purpose of the cold war was to dominate international affairs for a while many dangerous things happened. Germany had been divided into four and were controlled by the Allied powers. The allied powers were the U.S, Great Britain, France and the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union wanted to create a “Buffer Zone’ like being friendly for defense against Germany. The affects during World War 2 are what had created what we call the cold war. East Germany was established as a Stalin-style Socialist state. It became a member of the Warsaw Pact and came to have one of the most advanced economies and standard of living

The Cold War was a war between America and the Soviet Union. Both sides threatened to blow each other up with Nuclear Weapons. This war was a Cold War because neither side used weapons on the other. Both sides got involved in wars that they did not need to be involved in, but they fought just to prove they were the stronger country. When the Korean War and the Vietnam War broke out, both countries joined the fight to help out allies although their allies could fight the war alone. Many pacts, alliances, and treaties were formed because of the Cold War, mainly so we did not destroy the Earth. It took many years and multiple leaders on both sides to come to a resolution. Although America technically won the war, we were

The Cold War started before the end of World War II. It was a conflict between two great powers, the Unites States (and their allies), and the Soviet Union (and their allies). It was a race for control over the post war world. Both countries tried to spread their ideology across the world. This rivalry lasted for about 45 years. However, it was not like every other war. Fighter planes did not fly over countries to drop bombs, there were no deployment of troops, and no ground troops. The two sides never directly engaged in a battle. It was fought at different levels and in multiple different places. Although it was not a battle like other typical war, tons of money were spent on this war, especially on nuclear weapons. Europe was split into east and west, and the competition between the United States and the Soviet Union was ridiculous which included every aspect of life. Many decisions made by Presidents, namely Dwight D. Eisenhower, and John F. Kennedy caused an impact on United State politically, economically, and socially.

The Cold War was a stress of powers between the Soviet Union and the United States. Each country was battling for the spot as the superpower of the world. Each one thought that they needed to be the leading power to bring the world into a new age. Both began what was known as the “arms race” to see which one was able to invent atomic bombs first.

Thesis: There was a myth saying that America has a big role in helping the Soviet Union to defeat the Nazi Germany. Without the help of America, Germany could have occupy the whole Soviet Union. In fact, the Soviet Union could defeat Germany by itself since the time the U.S. involved, the Soviet Union was almost done defeating the Nazi Germany. Deep down, the America’s real purpose is to not let the Soviet Union take over control the whole Europe.

The Cold War was a period of 44 years of both military and political tension after World War II. There were many ideals and events that lead to the Cold War. Nationalism, poor economic conditions, and a strong desire for democracy and human rights are the primary reasons that many believe the Cold War started. However, these are just a few of the reasons for the Cold War. Events such as the Yalta Conference, Truman Doctrine, Potsdam Conference, and the Marshall Plan also greatly influenced the start of this long-lasting war.

In 1948 three countries, USA, France and UK, held conference, where they discussed the issue of Germany and what to do next. They tackled issues such as the future of Germany, the control of the Ruhr area and the payment of reparations (Douglas R, 2013) A new conference of the three countries occurred in Frankfurt, where still dealt with the issue of Germany and came to an agreement on the division of it. In Washington was another meeting of ministers of the three countries, where they signed a document which confirmed the occupation policy of the three powers in Germany. (Douglas R, 2013)

This investigation will assess the extent to which the division of Germany during the cold war affected the social conditions of the citizens living in both sides. The two main sources used will be “Growing up in East Germany” written by Bruno van den Elshout and “Berlin After the Wall” by Cassie Leventhal. Investigations on the manner in which the social and economic differences on each side of the wall will be evaluated through examples of the citizen’s lives. Other supplementary sources are used such as charts and graphs relating to the social standards and behaviors that differentiate the citizens of the East and West.

The Cold War was a time of spies and threats. Its started after WW2 in 1947 and lasted till 1991. After WW2 Russia was supporting communism and America didn’t want to see the communist party grow. Although there was no real fighting with guns,ammunition, or bombs, it was still considered a war. The Soviet Union and America were considered the superpowers of the war. They were the powers that started the Cold War. The Soviet Union was the union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The Marshall plan was a part of the Cold War. It was initiated by George Marshall. It was made to aid in the economic recovery of Europe after WW2 by offering certain European countries funds. In 1949, America and 11 other western nation formed NATO or the North Atlantic
