Furthermore, when they did get involved they each did so to varying degrees. The USA seemed to be much more motivated and interested

Mao Zedong and the Communist Party gained control of China in 1949. Mao and his party created a nation built on the ideals of nationalism and revolutionary communism. This nation instantly seemed to conflict with the capitalist ideals of the west. Roughly fifty years later, another event marked a tragic representation of opposition to the west.

Mao became the dictator of China for 27 years, and was “responsible for well over 70 million deaths in peacetime” .

1 The Vietnam War and all that it entails has long symbolized the American cultural revolution of the 1960s and 1970s. It is popular among Hollywood and the music industry, but it is much more than pop culture. The War in Vietnam divided America to its core and helped to reshape the very fabric that makes us Americans from our political process to how civilians choose to react and support our soldiers, sailors and airmen.

The Cold War was the conflict between the Eastern bloc (Communist) against the Western Bloc (Capitalist),

The outcome of the 68’ revolutions was one of defeat. The Berlin, Rome and Paris springs ended with partial restoration, or some incremental change, while the Warsaw and Prague springs ended in complete defeat.
