A clash of very different beliefs and ideology – capitalism versus communism – each held with almost religious conviction, formed the basis of an international power struggle with both sides vying for dominance, exploiting every opportunity for expansion anywhere in the world.

Note that USSR in 1945 was Russia post-1917 and included all the various countries that now exist individually (Ukraine, Georgia etc) but after the war they were part of this huge country up until the collapse of the Soviet Union (the other name for the USSR).

<span>Logic would dictate that as the USA and the USSR fought as allies during World War Two, their relationship after the war would be firm and friendly. This never happened and any appearance that these two powers were friendly during the war is illusory.</span>

<span>Before the war, America had depicted the Soviet Union as almost the devil-incarnate. The Soviet Union had depicted America likewise so their ‘friendship’ during the war was simply the result of having a mutual enemy –Nazi Germany. In fact, one of America’s leading generals, Patton, stated that he felt that the Allied army should unite with what was left of the Wehrmacht in 1945, utilise the military genius that existed within it (such as the V2’s etc.) and fight the oncoming Soviet Red Army. Churchill himself was furious that Eisenhower, as supreme head of Allied command, had agreed that the Red Army should be allowed to get to Berlin first ahead of the Allied army. His anger was shared by Montgomery, Britain’s senior military figure.</span>

<span>So the extreme distrust that existed during the war, was certainly present before the end of the war……..and this was between Allies. The Soviet leader, Joseph Stalin, was also distrustful of the Americans after Truman only told him of a new terrifying weapon that he was going to use against the Japanese. The first Stalin knew of what this weapon could do was when reports on Hiroshima got back to Moscow.</span>

<span>So this was the scene after the war ended in 1945. Both sides distrusted the other. One had a vast army in the field (the Soviet Union with its Red Army supremely lead by Zhukov) while the other, the Americans had the most powerful weapon in the world, the A-bomb and the Soviets had no way on knowing how many America had.</span>The Cold War<span> is the name given to the relationship that developed primarily between the USA and the</span>USSR<span> after </span>World War Two<span>. The </span>Cold War<span> was to dominate international affairs for decades and many major crises occurred – the </span>Cuban Missile Crisis<span>, </span>Vietnam<span>, </span>Hungary<span> and the </span>Berlin Wall<span> being just some. For many, the growth in weapons of </span>mass destruction was the most worrying issue.

Which of the following correctly states a general outline of the U.S. Constitution?
ElenaW [278]
The correct answer is 
1: Preamble
2: Articles 1-7
3: Bill of Rights
4: Other Amendments

The preamble comes first, and then the seven articles. Then comes the bill of rights which is the set of the first 10 amendments. After that, the constitution has the other amendments that were successfully ratified and became a part of the constitution. The preamble explains what the constitution is about, the articles are the basic ones that were presented at the continental congress, while the bill of rights was added to ensure the cooperation of states. Other amendments were added from time to time as the need for them developed such as the 19th amendment for example which gave women general suffrage rights.
