History Of The Cold War
The Cold War was the ending of World War two. The Cold War started in 1945 and ended in 1991. The United States and the Soviet Union fought together in the Cold War against axis powers. The relationship between the US and the Soviet Union were very tense. After World War two ended American officials thought the best defence was a strategy called containment. In the Cold War each side never fought each other, but the did fight for their beliefs. During the Cold War apparently Russia was communist. In the 1980s the Soviet Union fought a big war in Afghanistan. Also facing rising costs in the arms race. Attempted reforms at home left the Soviet Union unwilling to rebuff challenges to its control in eastern Europe. During 1989 and 1990
the Berlin Wall came down, borders opened, and free elections ousted communist regimes all over eastern Europe. In late 1991 the Soviet Union dissolved into its component republics. With great speed the iron curtain was lifted and the cold war came to an end. At the end of the cold war in America we all cheered final victory in the Cold War.
