THE COLD WAR
1947-1991
By: Grace Skolosh, Bailey Polinori, Amanda Dean, Adelina Buga and R.J. Yarwood
The name of the war came from the two
powers going against each other, The Soviet Union and The United
States, that had no direct conflict but
more of a difference in ideology issues. Both the US and
USSR thought their country was a
“democracy” but neither believed the
other.
Although the two powers were allies during the 2nd world war, their different views on how to run their country, triggered the two powers to go against each other. This time around not in a hot war but a cold one.
Even though the two powers were strong and well prepared, they had to have some allies that could help them
USSR Allies:

Cuban Missile Crisis 1962 The Cold War got very close to a nuclear
War in 1962 when both countries fought for Cuba. After the US tried to invade Cuba but failed, the Soviet Union tried to supply Cuba with missiles that would’ve allowed the USSR to target almost all of the US. When the United States found out about Russia’s plan, they immediately sent ships all around Cuba to prevent the soviet union from delivering the weapons. After these event the two forces came to the agreement that the USSR wouldn’t give Cuba missiles as long as the US doesn’t try to invade Cuba again.
The Soviet Union entered a decline shortly after their political policies (Perestroika and Glasnost) and bad economical decisions.
