The Cold war in itself was less of a fighting war, but was more of an industrial war between Russia, And The U.S. for Supplies "IN" Warfare. The Cold war had started exactly when WWII ended. This caused quite abit of tension between the Communist, and non-Communists(U.S South Korea etc...). Truman the President of the U.S. had met with Russian leader Joseph Stalin. They along with others associated with WWII met at International Conference to discuss post-war decisions. Stalin had wanted to be a Communistic Nation, Even though he had promised to agree to Democratic standing. This angered president Truman and caused him to argue with the soviets about thier promise, they had disregarded theyre promise to the U.S. and had decided to follow the Communist Party. This scared the U.S. because they believed that there would be a domino affect in Western Europe, This changed their stand on forien policies to containment which means they believe that any traces of communist thinking in any part of the world had to stay there and not expand. This caused the U.S much involvement in Asia. For thier belief of involvement in other parts of the world i have chosen that the U.S was a better superpower in the war across continents.
I liked how you explained how the Soviets were communists and how the United States disagreed with it. I also like how you explained what containment is. I haven't heard it that way before.
