How did the industrial revolution lead to the cold war

History
1 answer:
lawyer [7]3 years ago
3 0
The Industrial Revolution was the catalyst for the ideological divide between capitalism and communism that became the background of the Cold War.  Industrialization was fueled by capitalist economies and free markets.  The communist ideas of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels arose as a criticism of capitalism, and as a plan for an industrialized world in which the people themselves owned the means of production and benefited from the full value of their labors.  The Soviet Union (the USSR) came into being as a result of communist revolution in Russia, and the USSR would become the great ideological enemy of the world's greatest capitalist power, the United States.

Another approach to this question would be that the Industrial Revolution led to the emergence of all sorts of new technologies -- including those applied to the waging of war.  The World Wars saw a tremendous advance in weaponry and technology for warfare, and tensions between nations escalated.  The development of atomic bombs were a further application of industrial technology, and they became the feared weapons held by both superpowers in a stand-off in the Cold War.

Was the American involvement in Korean War a good idea
nignag [31]

Answer:

Yeah...it was a good idea because it was a war against the forces of international communism itself

Explanation:

The Korean War (1950-1953) began when the North Korean Communist army crossed the 38th Parallel and invaded non-Communist South Korea. As Kim Il-sung's North Korean army, armed with Soviet tanks, quickly overran South Korea, the United States came to South Korea's aid. ... This Chinese army attacked the US/UN/ROK forces.

The Cold War was an important cause in the Korean War. Relations between the two occupying powers were bad and when China became Communist in October 1949, the President of the USA, Harry Truman, was very worried that other countries around China may also become Communist, such as Japan.

This decision coincided with the United States withdrawing the last remaining combat troops from South Korea. North Korea saw its opportunity and attacked South Korean forces at the 38th parallel on June 25, 1950 and thus initiating the Korean War.

This invasion was the first military action of the Cold War. By July, American troops had entered the war on South Korea's behalf. As far as American officials were concerned, it was a war against the forces of international communism itself.
