Post-Soviet states

Implementing the global strategy, the United States conducted "aid" to manipulate other countries; set up military blocs; arms race, war invasion… In the implementation of "global strategy", the United States suffered many heavy defeats, particularly the war of aggression in Vietnam. On the other hand, the United States also made some attempts to disintegrate the socialist regime in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, based on military, economic, science -

was a result of the United States and the Soviets unable to accept the others ideological vision for their country and how it would benefit the world. This war was security based and ideology fixated on proving why each side was right. What came from this was a clash of competing historiographical views of an orthodox and revisionist approach. Orthodox views, including that of John Gaddis, hold the Soviet Union responsible due Stalin’s want to expand communism/ Soviet influence. By violating the

The bi-polar of international affairs resulted in an arms buildup between the United States and the Soviet Union; including weapons that exceeded the atomic bomb, then the most effective and destructive weapon in price and devastation. Yet, to everyone’s surprise, the Cold War abruptly ended in 1990 with the collapse of the Soviet Union under its own economic weakness, its political conflict, and military farce.

In 1945, the end of WWII, breakup of the fascist German state, and subsequent plunge into the Cold War makes the year undoubtedly immensely significant.

During the war, Roosevelt visualized a post war order that would be policed by the new world superpowers – U.S., China, Britain and the Soviet Union would all maintain peace and order within their world region (Avey, 2012). In spite of U.S. recognition that the Soviets were committed to an expansionist effort in post-war Europe, the United States retained a policy of restraint

The Post-soviet countries have begun to build themselves from the ground up, with the hope for a substantial future. As a result of the switch from socialism to capitalism the transition has brought new challenges. In other words, the political democratic stability for the sovereign states became inadequate. It had been standard to view newly democratic nations turned over and became more in support of the western capitalist idea. Although, the new post-soviet states are presumably embracing a democratic

In the post -World War II era, the competition of global supremacy between the superpowers of the time, United States and the Soviet Union resulted in the Cold War. Many countries in the world were pulled into this rivalry including many of the states of the Middle East. Allies against the Soviet Union received substantial quantities of United States aid and were encouraged to purchase weapons of Western means. Those who were in opposition to the United States’ power received economic and military

conclusion of the war. One excerpt I found interesting was when the prime minister entered what was left of Adolf Hitler’s chancellery. Churchill noted that his marble desk now was in a thousand pieces. The same day that Churchill surveyed Berlin, United States President Harry Truman got to look at the former Nazi Capital. As Truman is astounded by the destruction, he remarked “That’s what happens when a man overreaches himself.” The author also describes how drastically different
