The Cold War is the name that is given to the relationship between the USSR and the USA after World War II. It was essentially an ideological struggle between the USSR and the USA.

Who Was To Blame For The Cold War? The blame for the Cold War cannot be placed on one person -- it developed as a series of chain reactions as a struggle for supremacy. It can be argued that the Cold War was inevitable‚ and therefore no one’s fault‚ due to the differences in the capitalist and communist ideologies. It was only the need for self-preservation that had caused the two countries to sink their differences temporarily during the Second World War. Yet many of the tensions that existed

I woke up like any other day. I sat straight up and looked around‚ as I looked I thought how in the world am I not dead yet? Everyday that we woke up alive to me was a blessed day. To many it was the worst possible thing because they all just wanted to die away from the pain. Our beds were made of concrete‚ we went to bed in pain and woke up in pain and that was my life for about 7 months. You had to get use to everyday things or else you would die away like everyone else. I didn’t want anything

Freezing hot water faster than cold water is the definition of the Mpemba effect . This paper will add to our understanding of physics. Physics has a

Hand Sensitivity Are people more sensitive to cold water on their dominant hand or non-dominant hand? If a person sticks their hand in cold water‚ then their dominant hand will be able to withstand cold the longest.

If I were a bird! As a little bird-maybe a nightingale or an innocent dove-if I were born on this earth‚ I would have been very happy. As a nightingale‚ I would be adored by the people for my sweet songs. I would have built my tiny nest on the top branch of a tree. My nest would give shelter to me and my brethren. From the top of the tree‚ I could see the greenery of the fields‚ the flowing rivers and the far horizon. In a storm‚ my nest would be swung to and fro‚ without being detached from the

Who was to blame for the cold war? Generally it is not a great idea to blame just one party for something. I feel the same way about the cold war. I believe all parties involved were equally to blame in the cold war. This will be illustrated in my essay. However‚ there are three divisions of western historians when it comes to their opinion on the Cold War‚ the Traditionalists‚ the Revisionists and the Post-Revisionists. Each party has their own opinion on who was actually to blame for the Cold
