How did cold war tensions affect american society

1 answer:

5 0

The Cold War touched many aspects of American social and cultural life, from the civil rights movement to survivalism, from Hollywood to the universities. The nuclear threat—and the Communist menace lurking behind it—brought the National Defense Education Act, the interstate highway system, and growing mistrust of government by both liberals and conservatives. In ways sometimes blatant, sometimes subtle, the Cold War left its mark on activities ranging from art and poetry to movies and comic books. Sports events became particularly prominent venues for rivalry, beginning with the London Olympics in 1948 and peaking every fourth year thereafter. Visiting artists, traveling exhibitions, and other cultural exchanges, both formal and informal, sometimes helped ease Cold War tensions.

andre [41]

The correct options are: A - C -E

Compared with the American War of Independence, where nothing similar was experienced, the loss of life and the material destruction of the conflict during Spanish-American independence was extremely greater.

Indeed, it was not only a war for independence (as in the case of the United States), but there were circumstances that added to the fierceness of the struggle, including the enormous territorial extension of the war, which included the almost all of Latin America, the politics of terror practiced by both sides, the alternation of victories and defeats between the supporters of independence and those loyal to royal authority (called patriots and royalists, respectively), the exile and displacement of populations and the prolongation in time of the struggle that produced a complete ruin in many of the cities and fields of Spanish America, the loss of capital and goods of all kinds after the paralysis of trade and productive activities, and the dedication of material resources and humans to the war effort.
