Lenin has been the most significant leader of Russia and the USSR. How valid is this statement? It can be argued that Lenin was the most significant leader of Russia and the USSR due to his revolutionary ideas, such as the implementation of socialist reforms, his New Economic Policy in 1921 and the transformation of the Bolshevik faction to the Communist Part of the Soviet Union leading to a huge Marxist-Leninist movement in the USSR. However, when assessing the ‘significance’ of a leader, it’s

different actions that both of the two major superpowers, the US and the USSR took that started the Cold War. I believe that the Cold War was inevitable because of the difference in ideologies between the US and the USSR, and the large threat the USSR posed to western society; such as joining the arms race, and expansion of communism. Even though the start of the Cold War is known, what would have happened if it was not initiated by the USSR and the US? Could the major events that happened later on in the

The USSR has been accidently bombed by the US and now the President of the USSR is deciding whether to bomb New York City in the United States and cause the same damage of 7 million plus deaths in the US or declare a full-scale nuclear war against the US, which would cause over 100 million deaths in the US and the USSR. I will argue that using extreme deontology mindset is the more plausible response than act utilitarianism for the given situation. If the President of the USSR was an act utilitarian

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

views, particularly the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) and the United States (US). While both of these world powers were on the victorious allied powers, they had greatly differing views on how to govern their people: the USSR was socialist and communistic, while the US was democratic and capitalist. After WWII ended, the US continued to build up its army, for it saw the devastation that came with being unprepared; the USSR continued to live in a war mind-set, seeing most actions of

American relation with the USSR were complicated before World War II and made many American’s believe that the Soviet Union was actually an enemy. Yet, something that changed the American’s views on the USSR is because of their relentless struggle to survive and will to fight back to any threat that faced them.

States and the USSR fought a common enemy: Hitler. Because of this, the two countries worked together in an alliance, working through disagreements in order to defeat Nazi Germany. However, near the end of the world, the USSR and the United States began to diverge sharply over both economic and political issues. The start of the Cold War was greatly influenced by the Yalta Conference. Many important topics were discussed at the conference, including how to divide post-war Germany and the USSR declaring
