GEOPOLITICS OF WORLD WAR III FREE
During 19, the berlin wall came down, borders were reopened and free elections surfaced. In the United States we had many leaders as every four years our president would be re-elected.Īfter all of the conflicts, the war finally came to an end. He is known for causing the US and USSR distrust, who created the communist groups in the east, and who would end up butting heads against the western aggression. In the USSR one very important man took lead. People among that list made vital decisions to start, end, and pursue conflicts. During this time people like Harry Truman(US), Joseph Stalin(USSR), Nikita Khrushchev (USSR), Fidel Castro(USSR), Dwight eisenhower(US), Ronald Reagan(US), Mikhail Gorbachev(USSR), John F Kennedy(US), Lyndon B Johnson(US), Richard Nixon(US), and General Douglas McArthur (USSR). This standard also applied to the Cold War. It is vital that every organization has a leader, that every book has a protagonist and antagonist, and that every role has someone to occupy it. Almost synonymous to what caused the Chinese Civil War, which was an internal war involving the United States. In the Cuban War, the United States failed to overthrow the Castro Regime which led to further conflict. As an example, both the Chinese Civil War and the Cuban War had an underlying cause coming from the United States. In all of these proxy wars, there is a similar and sometimes almost uniform underlying cause. They supported opposing sides in conflicts in different parts of the world.ĭuring the Cold War, there were a total of fourteen proxy wars. Countries such as Cuba, Korea, and Vietnam were heavily affected by the proxy wars that were going on in this time period. While the USSR and the US were fortunate to have as little combat directed at them, some countries were not as lucky. This led to the name Cold War because of not only the lack of combat between the two main countries, but also the lack of nuclear weapons used in between the two. The Cold War was filled with smaller conflicts building up to the final moments called proxy wars2. During the many conflicts involved with the Cold War, the two never came to a direct conflict. The history of Cold War is intense, but what about the name? Behind the Cold War, there are two antagonizing countries, the U.S and the U.S.S.R. that led the two superpowers to the brink of nuclear disaster. One yearning for freedom, and the other fighting for totalitarianism1. During this crucial, near decade struggle, some could say it was a death match between the two blocs. These were countries like Albania, Bulgaria, and East Germany. As for the term Eastern bloc referred to countries associated and run by the soviet union. The western bloc contained countries allied with NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization).Such as France, Norway, and Denmark. The western bloc and the eastern bloc served great roles in this conflict. The Cold War was a hapless and extreme time of discomfort caused by a great geopolitical tension between two areas(Prager U). Soon following World War II was the Cold War.
