Prologue Moscow, U.S.S.R. 19 September, 2020. Instead of in our world when it collapsed in 1989, the Soviet Union managed to pull through the tough time, but now it couldn’t. Rioters crowded the streets, attempting to penetrate the defenses of the buildings holding state officials. Only the KGB remained loyal to its government, while the U.S.S.R.’s enemies watched smugly, and the Warsaw Pact Nations defected to NATO. A civil war in Cuba ended communism there, and Anti-Communist factions in all nations

After the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagazaki, international politics have never been the same. The threat of war requires countries to ensure their survival through whatever means is more effective. Prior to World War II, states would ensure their survival through technology and the quantity of their forces. The invention and possession of a nuclear bombs created a world in which the superpowers engaging in war could no longer be winners. The use of nuclear weapons also did not guarantee survival

1961 when President John F. Kennedy challenged the nation to claim a leadership role in space and land a man on the Moon before the end of the decade.The efforts went all in the moon landing and the people were encouraged that it would work. The U.S.S.R was uncertain and scared of this moment because if the U.S really gets the man on the moon they would have terminally won the space race. The way in which both countries reacted to the so called “threats” from one another on the topic of the space

ended, the United States of America (U.S.A) and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (U.S.S.R.) entered the Cold War, an altercation between the two superpowers, which lasted over 40 years, due to their differing political systems; the U.S.S.R. was communist and the U.S.A. democratic (Alchin, 2017). In the late 1950s, the Space Race between the two superpowers begun with launch of Sputnik 1 by the U.S.S.R. in 1957 (Timeline of Space Exploration, 2009). On July 20 of 1969 the U.S.A.’s Apollo 11

The Summit Series was a hockey series between the Soviet Union and Canada. This series was during the Cold War in September 1972. The Soviet Union and Canada were considered enemies during the Cold War because Canada was on N.A.T.O and U.S.S.R. was on the Warsaw side. The Summit Series was also known as the “Super Series”. The one thing different with the Summit series compared to other international tournaments, is that Canada was allowed to have players from the National Hockey League. This was

Post World War II, Hungary represented most factors of the post-war destruction in Europe. Soon after, the U.S.S.R. liberated many countries, including this one. Much of Europe, once occupied by Nazi Germany, became dominated by Communist Russia and those who fought back were crushed under the iron rule of Joseph Stalin. In February 1943 he assisted budding communist, Matyas Rakosi, in turning Hungary into a Socialist Republic. After Stalin passed away, Eastern European countries made strong efforts

for all sides. The U.S., which failed to provide promised air support, lost the trust of the Cuban exile community and was embarrassed internationally. The Cuban government naturally responded by strengthening economic and military ties with the U.S.S.R.. Second is Operation Mongoose along with other covert C.I.A. programs to assassinate Fidel Castro and destabilize the Cuban government. Like the Bay of Pigs, these programs were a complete disaster. At least eight assassination attempts on Fidel

August twenty-first, 1991, fifteen independent states crawled out from the strong hold of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (U.S.S.R). This new found independence from one of the most powerful countries in the world ceased the existence of the U.S.S.R. It was the Soviet people who destroyed the Soviet Union, not outsiders, and not through violent conflict. Ukraine, one of the fifteen states that emerged, was a particular cause of concern

1942, President Roosevelt officially created the Manhattan project, the secret program to develop the atom bomb (The Manhattan Project n.d.). “The atomic bomb had two objectives: a quick end of World War II and possession by the U.S. (and not the U.S.S.R.), would allow control of foreign policy” (The Cold War n.d.). In addition, the U.S. wanted to protect itself against direct attacks like Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor.Ultimately The Manhattan Projecy created the most destructive warefare ever. It
