Basic Information
The
Cold War was a time period after World War I from 1945-1990. The
United States was beginning to see The Soviet Union as an enemy
because it was a communist country. Even though it was called a war,
it was fought through words and expressions of their ideas,
technology, and world power. The Cold War all started because of
tension between the Soviet Union and The United States. During the
beginning of WWI The Soviets wanted the US to open another European
front for them. The US decided not to grant them their want, which
made them mad. The Soviets found out that The US was secretly
building the Atomic Bomb. To get back at US, the Soviets sent over
two Russian spies to steal the plan for this deadly bomb. This is
what leads to the start of The Cold War. Some events that happened
during this time period of 45 years were, The Korean War, the making
of NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) and the Warsaw Pact, and
the A-bomb.
