Politics in the USA

The Cold War (1945–1991) was the continuing state of political conflict, military tension, and economic competition between the Soviet Union and its satellite states, and the powers of the Western world, led by the United States. Although the primary participants' military forces never officially clashed directly, they expressed the conflict through military coalitions, strategic conventional force deployments, a nuclear arms race, espionage, proxy wars, propaganda...

The term "cold" is used because there was no large-scale fighting directly between the two sides, although there were major regional wars, known as proxy wars, in Korea, Vietnam, and Afghanistan supported by the two sides.

The Korean War;(25 June 1950 – 27 July 1953) was a war between North and South Korea, in which a United Nations force led by the United States of America fought for the South, and China fought for the North, which was also assisted by the Soviet Unión.

The Korean War actually resulted from the dropping of the Atomic Bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This offensive by the United States Army became the start of the arms race with Russia that we now refer to as the Cold War. On June 25, 1950, North Korea startled the United Nations by launching a surprise attack on its neighbor South Korea. North Korea was a Communist nation that was outraged when the South Korean government thought that they had the right to have their leaders have power in the communist nation.
