When and why did the cold war end ?
I . Introduction
Cold war was the struggle for power and influence that began at the end
of World War II between the Communist nations led by the Soviet Union (the East ) and the Western allies headed by the United States (the
West . Cold War tensions began to moderate in the 1960 's , and a ``thaw '
was said to be setting in . By the 1970 's , the phrase ``Cold War (coined by Bernard Barruch in 1947 ) generally had fallen into disuse ,
but the East-West rivalry continued , as did the conditions that caused
it .
The origins of the Cold War and the motives of its antagonists are the
subject of much controversy among historians . There are three principal
interpretations :
According to the so-called orthodox historical interpretation , the basic
cause of the Cold War was Communist expansion--the attempts (some
successful , others not ) by the Soviet Union and later China to take over
other countries . Communism was a monolithic , world domination . The role of the West was primarily defensive
virtually every step initiated by the West (such as the formation of the
North Atlantic Treaty Organization ) was made in response to an
aggressive move by Communists .
According to what is termed the revisionist interpretation , the Cold War
was an inevitable result of the Western powers ' implacable hostility to
Communism , which they viewed as a threat to the expansion of capitalism .
The leading capitalist nation , the United States , had long sought to
extend its influence throughout the world by commercial , political , and
cultural expansion . The Soviets ' actions were primarily the result of
their fears of the West .
A third point of view , often referred to as the moderate interpretation ,
holds that the Cold War had as its basis the opposing ideologies and the
conflicting interests of East and West . National fears and ambitions
motivated both sides . To western leaders , the Communism was a threat to the democratic values of the West . They
believed that the Communists were determined to establish their system
throughout the world . Communist leaders , on the other hand , held that
Western nations were controlled by imperialistic capitalists resolve to
crush Communism by any means . Each side sought security and viewed the
other as bent on aggression .
The intents of this paper are to (1 ) know how the Cold war is waged
and (2 ) learn about its history .
II . Background
Two ``superpowers ' the United States and the Soviet Union , emerged
from World War II . The two had long had incompatible ideologies and
national interests , and their wartime alliance against Nazi Germany had
begun to crumble even before the fighting ceased (see ``Cold War .
Grolier Encyclopedia of Knowledge , Vol . 3 , pp .145-146 .
During the war , the Soviet Union had annexed three formerly independent
countries - Latvia , Lithuania , and Estonia - and after the war it set up
puppet regimes in the eastern European countries occupied by its troops .
China , which became Communist power in 1949 , sought dominance in eastern
Asia . Both nations also promoted Communism throughout the world...
