The First Steps Of Man On The Moon

From the start of the Space Race, the Soviet Union had the United States beat by sending the first satellite, the Sputnik, and the first man, Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin, into space. However, President Kennedy would not stand by as the Soviet Union began to run away with the space race. Kennedy addressed the nation by consulting Congress to “increase NASA’s budget by nine billion dollars”(Cox). This bold move made by Kennedy enabled the United States to make it to the moon first. Going to the moon first was a much higher feat than simply going into space because it required much more “precision while launching and higher equipped technology to go the extra distance”(Exploring Space). Due to the extra skill required to go to the moon, it showed how by the end of the Space Race the United States had superior technology. Since the Cold War was a fight for Global Power, going to the moon was a significant move for the United States because it showed that they had exceptional machinery. With this admirable technology, it solidified the United States’s reputation as a Global

A Cold War is when there is a large amount of tension built up between two countries but no fighting occurs. The Cold War between U.S. and Russia started in 1947 and ended in 1991. It started over a race to build a bigger and better atomic bomb. Although the U.S. working class was able to live comfortably again, the Cold War affected the United States by increasing people’s fears of Communist spies, of nuclear war, and of losing to the Soviet Union.

The Cold War could be described as one of the most 'distant' wars in history because there was no direct military fighting involved, only threats and fights through other countries. Although, many lives and money was lost, it was not as fatal and severe as World War II. In 1947, or right after World War II, the Cold War began due to conflict between the United States and Soviet Union. It ended on December 26, 1991 and the United States endured most of the damage that was a result of the war while Russia became a larger territory through the countries they gained power over. The war took place in the U.S., USSR, Europe, Cuba, Vietnam, Greece, Korea, East Asia and South America and lasted for over forty years. Although both contributed to the war, the United States should be blamed for the increasing tensions of the Cold War because of the NATO, Marshall Plan and Truman Doctrine.

The Cold War started with the end of WWII 1945 and finally ended in 1991. It was against the Soviet Union and the United States. This “war” was fought through nuclears threats and actions. Soviets and US remain the two last superpowers. Tensions grew between the soviet union and the United States which led to world changing technologies like nuclear bombs on both sides of the war.

The Cold War - an ideological conflict between Communist and non-Communist nations, started after World War II. It happened because of the disagreement of the Allies - United States, Britain, France, and the Soviet Union on how to govern Germany. Another reason was that it was because of nuclear weapons. This happened because when two nations have destructive power on their hand, they started to doubt if they can have trust that power in other nations

The Cold War was fought between the United States and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics soon after World War II and the nuclear bombings by the U.S. and lasted from 1945 to 1990, and was sparked due to both sides having conflicting views of capitalism and communism. The U.S. supported capitalism and the free market system, while the USSR instead supported and utilized communism, which should allow everyone to obtain the same things. The Truman Doctrine, created by president Harry Truman, was created during the Cold War in 1947 which essentially indicated that the U.S. would prevent the spread of communism, or to contain it. This is a large factor to determine who began the war, however how the Cold War actually started is a partial

The Cold War was an over 40 year war between the former World War II alliances The United States and The Soviet Union. This was a war that begun by political disagreements, harsh anti-communist words from Winston Churchill, and a power imbalance between The Soviet Union and The United States. Though it was a war, a new, lethal weapon was used to emotionally harm the opposing country rather than causing physical damage.

The Cold War started when Japan and Europe were defeated and the United States and Soviet Union wanted to take power. The US and the Soviet Union had different goals and ideologies. The US is democratic and capitalist and the Soviet Union was a dictatorship and communist. The Cold War was a competition between the US and the Soviet Union to determine who would be the main power. It was named the Cold War as the two nations never actually fought each other.

The Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union took place after the World War II until the early 1990s. Both the United States and the Soviet Union were at the Cold War which employed nuclear arms race, space programs development race, weapons developments, counter-intelligence, military alliances, and propaganda. This Cold War made the world fear for the possible World War III. Ally nations for both sides were divided into either the democratic or the communism which were either on the United States side or the Soviet Union’s side. This Cold War was a political and strategic method to gain strategic territories for the military purpose and also for the economic gains.

The cold war was a historical event that was an outcome of a disagreement. This disagreement was between two power countries that were known as the United States and the Soviet Union. Both of them had a huge influence on everyone around them causing them to pick sides. During World War Two, the United States and the Soviet Union actually fought together as allies against the Axis powers. The united States had a wary for a long time about the Soviet communism and their Russian leader Joseph Stalin to gain in.

The Cold War was the ideological conflict between the two superpowers of the world, the democratic United States of America and the communist Soviet Union. For over fifty years the two superpowers fought each other indirectly for power and control of the world. The Cold War started after the end of the Second World War in 1945 when the eyes of both superpowers were no longer looking at Nazi Germany, but instead at each other and the fate of the rest of the world. The Cold War began after the Second World War had ended, although tensions between the two new superpowers, United States and Soviet Union, had been lasting since 1917 with the start of the Bolshevik revolution in Russia. With the start of the Second World War, tensions were put

The Cold war dated from 1947-1991. It was characterized by both political and military superiority between United States, which was backed by its NATO allies, and Soviet Union that led the communist side. The cold war was mainly started after the success of the alliance that was formed against Nazi Germany. This competition supremacy on nuclear warfare attracted other countries that also started making nuclear weapons due to the tension that existed in the world. Both sides directed huge sums of money to their military budgets with each side trying to outdo the other.

After post-World War II conflicts, the Cold War rivalry was between the United States and the Soviet Union which lasted for much of the second half of the 20th century. The Cold War lasted from 1945-1991. It was the time when the democracies of the west and the communist countries of the east fought with threats, propaganda, and short-termed open warfare. The West was led by the United States and the Communist East was led by the Soviet Union. These nations became known as superpowers.

In 1969, the United States were the first to accomplish the feat of successfully landing a man on the moon. In the Apollo 11 mission, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Buzz Aldrin were the first men to land on the moon. After World War II, another war started, which was the Cold War. The Cold War pitted the United States and the Soviet Union against each other, thus leading to the two countries fighting and competing for superiority, which eventually becomes a race for space. In 1959, the Soviet Union launched Luna 2, which was the first space probe to hit the moon. Then, later in 1961, the Soviet Yuri Gagarin was the first person to orbit the Earth in the Votstok 1. Due to these accomplishments by the Soviet Union, President John F. Kennedy boldly promised the public that the

The Cold War was a diplomatic war between the two superpowers, USSR and USA. Despite being the two most powerful countries in the world, no actual fighting took place. Instead, the war was fought through various methods of propaganda and threats.
