The Cold war
The cold war was a tension between the two nations America and the USSR. This war wasn’t usual because the two nations armies never fought directly. Many people feared that it would become a nuclear war but that didn’t happen. You could also say it was a war between the NATO countries and the countries from the Warsaw Pact. For example France, Canada, West Germany and the Netherlands were on Americas side. On the other side the Soviet Union had East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Romania and some times they would also receive support from Cuba, North Korea, China and Mongolia. The reason the war broke out was because of the difference of the ideology of the two countries. America was a capitalistic country, which means that the Americans had to take care of them selves. They can sell and buy things by their own judgment.
On the other hand, the Soviet Union chose the communism. The communistic ideology is a lot about common ownership, that all the people in the world should own the factories and the farms where the goods and food are produced. Both countries were friends under World War II because they both were against the Nazi ideology in Germany but even though they didn’t agree with each other in terms of government they believed it was more important to fight Nazi Germany. After the World War II, Berlin was separated into four parts. One was given to America, one to the United Kingdom, one to France and one to the USSR.
