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.
Europe's economy improved significantly as new roads and infrastructure were developed.
Former Roman lands were split up and claimed by Germanic kingdoms.
There was a definite decline in Christianity, its followers, and its spread across lands.
Trade increased in the West, resulting in an end to the recession taking place at that time.
False because there were priests and there were no councils elected by citizens
