  1. The Cold War1947-1991 By: Grace Skolosh, Bailey Polinori, Amanda Dean, AdelinaBuga and R.J. Yarwood

  2. 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.

  3. 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

  4. USSR Allies: • East Germany • Czechoslovakia • Romania • Hungary • Poland

  5. US Allies • United Kingdom • New Zealand • Australia • West Germany • Canada • The Netherlands

  6. 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.

  7. The end of the Cold War • The Soviet Union entered a decline shortly after their political policies (Perestroika and Glasnost) and bad economical decisions. • Http://www.Youtube.Com/watch?V=aquhfnjvmic
