«Cold War» is a global military, geopolitical and economic confrontation between the Soviet Union and the United States of America with the support of various allies from all sides.This confrontation lasted for almost fifty years (from 1946 to 1991).
«Cold War" is not a military battle in the literal sense.The basis for the controversy was the ideology of the two most powerful nations of the world at the time.This opposition researchers characterized as very profound contradiction between the socialist and capitalist systems.It is symbolic of the fact that the "cold war" began immediately after the Second World War, which resulted in both countries were the winners.And as the world then dominated devastation, created ideal conditions for many pushed on the territory of its people management model.But, unfortunately, the United States and the Soviet Union at that time differed in their opinions, so each side would outrun an opponent and make the vast territory, where people did not know what to believe and how to live as soon as possible to spread their ideology.As a result, people will trust the losers of the winning country and enrich it through their human and natural resources.
This opposition is divided into the stages of the "cold war", among which are the following:
- Home (1946-1953.).This stage can be described as an attempt of the USSR and the United States to hold the first event in Europe, which would be aimed at spitted ideology.As a result, since 1948 the world has hung over the possibility of a new war, so both states began to rapidly prepare for new battles.
- On the brink of nuclear war (1953-1962.).During this period, relations between adversaries improved slightly and they even began to make friendly visits to each other.But at this time the European countries one by one revolution begins to lead his own country.USSR actively to eliminate the disturbance began bombing conflict erupted.The United States could not allow such liberties and the opponent started to set up their own air defense system.As a consequence, the relationship soured again.
- Stage discharge (1962-1979 gg.).During this period, to power in the warring countries came more conservative rulers who do not particularly want to lead an active confrontation, which could well lead to war.
- A new round of confrontation (1979-1987.).The next phase began after the Soviet Union sent troops to Afghanistan and knocked several times by foreign civil aircraft that flew over the state.These aggressive actions have provoked the United States to the fact that they placed their rocket launchers on the territory of several countries in Europe, which, of course, already infuriated the Soviet Union.
- Gorbachev came to power and the end of confrontation (1987-1991.).The new ruler of the Soviet Union did not want to continue to fight for an ideology in other European countries.Especially because his policy was aimed at eliminating the communist government, which was the founder of political and economic repression in the United States.
End "Cold War" marked by the fact that the Soviet Union went to great concessions, and especially do not claim to power in Europe, especially since the defeated countries have moved away from the destruction and started to develop independently.The Soviet Union began to experience a deep crisis that led in December 1991 to the final disintegration of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.Thus, the "cold war" has not brought positive results to our state, and has become one of the elements that led to the collapse of a great state.
