Cold War - Photo Gellary

Atomic bomb

Most of the people believed that Cold War had started since the first atomic bomb was dropped by the American on Japan, Hiroshima city in 1945. From that time on other countries, especially USSR started to build such powerful weapons as the Atomic bomb. Which made it worse for the relation between the USA. If I were living during those days, I would be scared to death. I might even build bomb shelter to protect from such weapon.

Arms race

Arms race is one of the major causes of Cold War. Many different countries around the world (mainly USA and USSR) were always the top two countries racing in a tie score. Missiles were the new technology introduces to the armies, and it made them more powerful. If I were living during those days, I would live each day as if they were the last. Just because of a press of a button the whole world could have come to an end.

Berlin Wall

Berlin wall symbolize Cold War had really begin. It was built to separate the Capitalist from Communist in Berlin. The wall was built for many reasons and it cut off relation between the Soviet Union and the West. This made the Soviet leader Khrushchev more embarrassed. Thinking about living in a country like Berlin those days would be hard. Staying in a city divided into half would be the last place I would wanted to be.

Korean War

Korean War was the First Proxy war during Cold War. The fighting started between the capitalist powers supported by the USA, later by the U.N Communist power supported by the Chinese and secretly by the USSR “Under the Red Carpet”. The fighting was started in 1950 and ended during 1953. The cost of the war separated the North Koreans (Communist) from the South Koreans (Capitalist) at 38 Parallel. Living during would be like Refugees because there were a lot of fighting going back and forth.

Vietnam War

Another Proxy war during the Cold War occurs in Vietnam. This time was to keep the dominion theory. The US never declares war on North Vietnam. This time the Communist (North Vietnam) had won the war which was the most shocking war for the US because they had never lost a war. If I were alive those days I would be protesting to stop the war fought for nothing.
