The failing communist governments entrenched the idea that democracy was superior form of government. It established the United States as a global superpower both in governmental structure and military force. The failing governments also meant that Eastern Europe was much less financially stable than the rest of the world and would have to make peace with and rely on western countries to pull themselves out of debt.

Haiti was a brutal, terrifying place for most slaves.
<span>Slavery was particularly harsh in Haiti, much harsher than in the USA. There were laws which defined what a slave owner could, and couldn't do to their slaves, but these were routinely ignored. </span>
<span>There are at least two documented cases of runaway slaves being captured, tied over a log, a funnel put up their backside, gunpowder poured in and then a fuse lit - all for the benefit of the other slaves - they were killed by being blown apart as a warning to the others. </span>
<span>The work was hard, life expectancy low and wives and children were routinely sold away from their husbands. The French even codified the degrees of "African-ness", down to 1 part per 128, that's someone's great-great-great-great-great-great grand parents, and what jobs and responsibilities they could have. </span>
<span>Then there were the maroons - escaped slaves who lived in the jungles and mountains - they occasionally raided plantations and even the towns, killing whites and taking slaves away with them. The Maroons became like the bogeyman to blacks and whites alike. </span>
<span>Then along comes the French Revolution, with it's promise of "Liberty, Fraternity and Equality", obviously the slaves believed that this meant them as well: it didn't. </span>
<span>The intellectual cause of the Haitian Revolution was the philosophies of the Enlightenment - specifically the same intellectual base as the French Revolution. Basically the cry "libertie egalitie fraternitie" does not qualify which kind of person should be free - so ALL men were considered brothers. This thought pervaded Haitian mulatto and freed slave society, and seemed to offer a genuine equality and freedom for all on the island. </span>
<span>The other intellectual driving force of the revolution is the individual intellect of those leaders who were able to motivate, to organise and to conduct military campaigns with skill and flair - the leaders, Christopher, Brenda and, of course, Toussaint L'Ouverture. </span><span />
Answer:
Explanation:
There are several, but historians argue the most terrifying event for the US was the Soviet atomic bomb detonation.
September 1949, the Soviet Union exploded its own atomic bomb and this shocked the U.S. because now both nations could destroy each other. -This was the world's first human-made satellite.
The second event was the cold war. The main reason why the United States was fearful of the Soviet Union in the "Cold War" was because the US was afraid that communism would spread around the world and ultimately to the US--which they viewed as being a threat to their way of life.
