The Cold War (Russian: Холодная война , Kholodna-ya voina) was the protracted geopolitical, ideological, and economic struggle that emerged after World War II between the global superpowers of the Soviet Union and the United States, supported by their alliance partners. It lasted from about 1947 to the period leading to the dissolution of the Soviet Union on December 25, 1991.\nThe global contest was popularly termed The Cold War because direct hostilities never occurred between the United States and the Soviet Union. Instead, the "war" took the form of an arms race involving nuclear and conventional weapons, networks of military alliances, economic warfare and trade embargos, propaganda, espionage and proxy wars, especially those involving superpower support for opposing sides within civil wars. The Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 was the most important direct confrontation, together with a series of confrontations over the Berlin Blockade and the Berlin Wall. The major civil wars polarized along cold war lines were the Greek Civil War, Korean War, Vietnam War and the Soviet-Afghan War, along with more peripheral conflicts in Angola, El Salvador, and Nicaragua.\n\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Iron curtain is the isolation imposed by the cold war between URSS and EU after World War II.  The holocaust happened during World War II.  Some concentration camps were in Germany, but ohter were in Austria.  Not to mistake the Iron curtain with the Berlin Wall, although both are symbols of the same political reality.

Oh there are people who were fighting the "cold war" in 49, and I do believe there were people awarded the purple heart. People were shot dowm by the Soviet Union, and there were other hotspots of the cold war where people were shot at.

This is a cheap way to get somebody to do your homework for you but I will try:\n\nPresidential leadership in the 21st century was difficult, especially in terms of national security.  The century started with World War I.  This war created a foreign policy problem that at the time seemed like an excellent solution - isolationism.  It also created political unrest in Europe that led to Fascism and Communism.\n\nThe United States did not immediately enter World War II, and an attack on U.S. soil at Pearl Harbor became the ultimate issue of national security for President Roosevelt.  The war was won, and the Fascists were never again a problem.\n\nThen the Communists in the Soviet Union began their Cold War with the United States.  Until 1992, this threat to national security would continue to be at the forefront of the country's foreign relations problems.  The Soviet Union and Communism in general would account for the U.S. entering two more wars, Korea and Vietnam.  These wars were fought under the policy set forth by the Truman Doctrine.  This was a policy of containment of Communism.\n\nIn 1962, under Kennedy, the Soviet Union seemed to be preparing for its first attack on the U.S.  In this matter of national security, Kennedy was able to combine diplomacy with compromise and an blockade to stop weapon building in Cuba.  This was the closest people say the U.S. ever got to a nuclear war.\n\nIn 1992, the Soviet Union finally collapsed, but that did not end the United States trouble with national security.  The Gulf War, and other wars where the U.S. helped Israel defend attack, had caused disgruntled Arab nations that could not win a typical war to result to the guerilla tactics of terrorism.  This war, which extremist Muslims call the Jihad, is still the national security problem today.\n\nOK, so it isn't everything you need for a paper and some of the stuff is out of order (or at least the order I would put it in) and it isn't proofread, but can I have the 10 points anyway?

Soviet Union/Russia, whichever you want to call it.

The central theme among the three events is the Cold War, and the competition with the Soviet Union.\n\nThe Korean War occured when North Korean invaded South Korea in June, 1950. The United States was able to quickly push back the North Koreans, but this action forced the Chinese into the war, and it became a stalemate for almost three years.  This was one of the first early tests of the containment of Communism.\n\nThe space race was a competition with the Russians, which the USSR seemed to be winning when it put the first satellite in orbit in 1957, and also put the first man in orbit, Yuri Gagarin. It led to Kennedy calling for a mission to the moon.\n\nThe Vietnam War was something we inherited from the France in 1954. The driving theory behind Vietnam was the "Domino theory" that if Vietnam fell, the rest of SE Asia would soon turn Communist as well. Like Korea, China played a more important role in Vietnam than the USSR did, but both did supply the North Vietnamese.

The term "Cold War" emerged from the lack of miltary action during the war. Although there was massive tension throughout the period the war was "Cold".\n\nThe origins of the term "Cold War" are debated. The term was used hypothetically by George Orwell in 1945, though not in reference to the struggle between the USA and the Soviet Union, which had not yet been initiated. American politician Bernard Baruch began using the term in April 1947 but it first came into general use in September 1947 when journalist Walter Lippmann published a series of newspaper columns (and books) on US-Soviet tensions entitled The Cold War.

Really just about every country on earth was involved in the Cold war. Either you were pro Soviet or pro West. Most countries were pro West unless they were part of the Soviet bloc or traded oil and weapons with the Soviets. Kind of like the war on terrorism. You are for us or against us.

This smells like a research paper you should be doing your own research for.  I'll just say the foreign policy of the 1950's was totally dominated by worldwide struggle with the USSR for allies and hegemony.  Everything else was secondary.  On top of the perpetual war footing and a major shooting war in Korea there was the threat of nuclear holocaust.  And the American imagination has latched onto the idea that this decade was innocent and carefree, a Golden Age that makes our own times dark and frightening in comparison.  This grotesque glorification of the past plays right into the hands of the current regime, which manipulates fear to stay in power and strip away our constitutional rights.

The USSR was bent on world domination, and we had to maintain a balance of power or face nuclear war.The arms race and space programs and Vietnam,Korea were results. Domestically, anti war and civil rights issues nearly split the country.
