of the two political, military, and economic blocks, the US and the USSR and their silent yet obvious confrontations at this level. In order to better understand the volatility of the balance of power, it is important to consider the Cold War in its historical background, which can be stated to have dated since the end of the First World War. Hence, the present research considers the confrontations between the US and the USSR during the Cold War as a clear example of both the legacy of a historical

From 1948 to 1991 countless anti-communist films were made, dominating the stage of transnational politics and geostrategic affairs between East and West from the beginning to the end of the USSR. The Cold War would impose an atmosphere bursting with tension on the world film production arena. The main tense issues that prevailed included but were not limited to: Communist expansionism, American Imperialism, an arms race including a nuclear menace, the subjugation of space, and the infamous intelligence

USSR will get a bomb, it just matters if US can hold tehm off Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) should have shared limited information on the Manhattan Project with the Soviet Union (USSR) in order to bolster the integrity of their momentary coalition, promote international scientific collaboration, as well as prevent the eventual possibility of a nuclear armaments race. By the end of WWII Soviets spies had so deeply infiltrated the Manhattan Project that the possibility of keeping atomic weapons

Why did Stalin rather than Trotsky emerge as leader of the USSR in 1929? When Lenin died in 1924 there was no clear leader of the communist party. By 1929 Stalin had successfully managed to take power and begin his regime as leader. Here are the reasons to why Stalin beat Trotsky. Firstly many members of the communist distrusted Trotsky due to his Menshevik past and didn’t see him as a true and Loyal Bolshevik. He didn’t join to Bolshevism until 1917 and this made the ‘old’ Bolsheviks suspect him

The event of the Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962 was the closest the world has ever come to nuclear war. Fifteen years into the cold war, the two superpowers continued the fierce competition to increase their military strength. In 1962, the Soviet Union was desperately behind the United States in the nuclear arms race. Soviet missiles were only powerful enough to be launched against Europe, whereas the US missiles were capable of striking the entire Soviet Union. In late April 1962, Soviet Premier

Account for the “failure of democracy” in Eastern Europe (excluding the USSR) in the period 1918-1939. According to Robert A. Dahl, there are certain criteria that a government must meet for it to be called a democracy. Democracy must provide first of all, opportunities for effective participation, where all members of an association concerned with a certain policy ‘must have equal and effective opportunities for making their views known to the other members as to what the policy should be’

During the duration of The Second World War, the USSR lost 27 Million Soviets to the ravages of war, despite this huge loss the USSR was still able to come out on top of the 3rd Reich. Before the start of WW2 we see a series of purges, Implemented by Stalin in hope of getting rid of political opposition. These affected the Red Army during the War. We can also look at the 5 year plans and we will also look at how the Germans could have caused their own downfall by spreading their troops to thin,

To what extent did the development of the Cold War influence Stalin’s policies inside the USSR? Up until 1945 the tensions between the USSR and the USA had been covered by the fact that both sides were trying to fight against Hitler and therefore relations up until the war had been relaxed. However this changed after 1945 the victory against Germany brought them international superpower status giving them more control and influence over many countries especially in Eastern Europe. As a result Stalin

“Cold” relationship between the USA and the USSR commenced and developed after World War Two. Although, naturally, one would expect these two allies during the war to have a strong, pleasant relationship with one another, this was not the case; there was a growing rivalry between the two instead. My essay will explore the ideas and causes leading up to the Cold War, and will conclude on the main reason for the beginning of the Cold War. The USA and the USSR were two supreme powers after winning the

Meir Dagan was born in 1945 as Meir Huberman on a train between the USSR and Poland while his Polish Jewish parents were escaping the Holocaust to live in the Soviet Union. Dagan and his family lived in the USSR until 1950 when they relocated to Bat Yam, Israel. His family lived in Bat Yam and operated a Laundromat.
