Answer:
To be found in ¨The Age of Extremes¨ by Eric Hobsbawm
Explanation:
Hobsbawm states that the Cold War was based on a Western belief, absurd in retrospect but natural enough in the aftermath of the Second World War, that the Age of Catastrophe was by no means at an end. J.F. Kennedy, one of the most overrated presidents according to Hobsbawm, shows this belief by saying: ´The enemy is the communist system itself... this is a struggle for supremacy between two conflicting ideologies: freedom under God versus ruthless, godless tyranny.´
It is exactly this democratic freedom that ironically fueled the Cold War fire.
Where the Sovjet government didn´t have to bother about winning votes the U.S. government did.
Another element that contributed to move confrontation from the realm of reason to that of emotion was the schizoid demand of the vote-sensitive politicians to roll back the tide of ¨communist aggression¨.
On the other side of the globe the Sovjet government, with a country and economy in ruins after the Second World War, they needed all the economic help they could get to survive. So on any rational assessment the U.S.S.R. presented no immediate danger.
One distinction of the american infantry during the revolutionary war era was its use of Volley Fire.
Volley Fire is a military tactice developed with the advent of rifles and guns in the 16-17th Century.
In this tactic, a line of riflemen fire together and while they reload their weapons, another line of soldiers fire their weapons.
This is done to ensure constant firing, to make up for lost time in reloading and make up for missed shots.
The aim is to consistently be on the offensive.
It is most closely associated with the Dutch forces but was used by American forces against the British.
People had limited rights and were taxed heavily and were upset about it.
The Tang and Song rule is described to be the reunification and renaissance in Chinese civilization mostly due to the fact of military advancements, rapid expansion, the Civil Service Exams and taxation methods that developed over time. Li Yuan, Duke of Tang, established the golden age of Tang because of his rapid expansion and strong Chinese bureaucracy. The Civil Service exams created opportunities for families to raise their rank in the social and political hierarchy. The Song dynasty valued scholars over military, making them weak to invaders yet highly cultural and innovative.
