Well...
Here is my problem...i need to write a long essay on this question...

a) what is cold war?
b) use one crisis in the cold war to explain how it afftected the relation between U.S. and USSR

I just can't find a suitable crisis...
Can anyone help me???

thanks

soooo many crises to choose

cold war is tension... drive by fear.. Where the war isn't outward but the whole conflict happens when each country fears the other to be greater. Thus, they must always move forward in strength, and the prime candidates during the Cold War are the USA and USSR.

Now if you think about it, if both sides are stocking nukes, I think you'll figure out how the relationship will be affected.. plus the fact that one has a twisted form of Communism that was sorta toned down vs our Democracy.

thanks a lot^_^
i chose the cuban missile crisis for that actually...
yr reply is so informative^_^thanks again
