The Cold War was fought after WWII from 1945 - 1991 between the US and democratic nations and the USSR and the Communist nations. They fought many 'proxy wars' such as, for example, but not limited to:

- Korean War
- Cuban missile crisis

The Cold War was named the way it is, because the two sides didn't fight head on head (as stated above). Instead, they supplied groups they are allied with, with volunteers, weapons & technology, as well as economic boosts. The Cold War saw the advancement of technology in many regions, including missiles, space technology, and other military technology.

Towards the end of the Cold War, the USSR had internal troubles, including satellite nations that wanted more freedom and democracy, as well as problems with the economy. Soon, the then-USSR leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, allowed <em>Glasnot</em>, or opennes, which ended the USSR's rule in 1991. He led the domestic reform and nuclear disarmament to help end the cold war, but because of internal factors, helped brake apart the USSR and lead to the downfall of communism in Europe.

However, Communism still continued in other nations, such as Cuba, Vietnam, & North Korea, but soon gave way to either a totalitarian state, or glasnot as well, as they either accepted US intervention and trade agreements (such as Vietnam) , or closed off even more (such as North Korea).

Even though people living during the Cold War had to live in fear, the Cold War helped bring the world more together, to give the world was able to draw closer together. The Cold War also spurred technological development (however mostly in the military), and helped create many organizations that helped countries around the world (such as the Peace Corps) and to further explore the world we live in as well as the surroundings (NASA). It also saw the creation of military alliances (NATO) as well as trading organizations, such as the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the North American Free Trade Organization (NATO) (in which the WTO is the whole world, while NATO was only Canada, USA, and Mexico).

How did industrialization shape the nature of and expectations about family life?

"<em>Urbanization as more and more people moved to cities to find work. It led to our modern ideas of consumer society, as people were able to begin to choose different brands to buy, based on everything from the price, to quality, to designs, patterns, and colors. Companies began to make different models of things in order to attract more buyers, so it could be seen as the beginning of modern capitalism. It led to an increase in technology, as more and more machines were invented and used to help increase the efficiency at which products were made, leading to lower prices and more availability. Also, it was the first time that a source of power, other than muscles power (human or animal,) was used to create products. It led to a more connected world, as new technology like trains, steam engines, and railroads that were designed to more quickly transport goods, were also used to better connect people. It helped establish the industrialized nations (mainly England and America) as the dominant world powers. It would eventually lead to more rights for workers and the concept of the modern working conditions we have, although at the start this would not have been true. It helped women begin to break the cult of domesticity, as more and more young, unmarried women got jobs.</em>" according to Michael P.
