How did the Soviet-Afghan war play a major role in the conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union?

History
1 answer:
Svetllana [295]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Soviet-Afghan war:

The Soviet intervention in Afghanistan in 1979 cooled relations between the two superpowers and put an end to the period of détente that had started in the 1960s. It was a direct military intervention by one of them in a regional conflict, not a war fought by a proxy. It elicited an American reaction which was the formation, training and support of an anti-Soviet guerrilla made up of local Islamic fighters, the Mujahedeen. Afghanistan was a neighbor of Pakistan - an American ally - and it bordered the Soviet Union.

Iran-Contra affair:

Given the refusal of the US Congress to continue to finance the Contras who fought against the leftist, Soviet-friendly, Cuban-supported Sandinista regime in Nicaragua, some Ronald Reagan administration officers looked for ways to get financing, some of them were not legal. The affair didn´t have a major impact on the overall state of US-Soviet relations, because the main tensions were in Europe. Besides, those were the years of dialogue and negotiations with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. Reagan and Gorbachev held some summits and signed a treaty aimed at reducing some types of nuclear weapons. Nicaragua was never a strategic concern for the Soviets, despite deep Cuban involvement.

Iran got weapons for its 8-year war with the Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein. Some reports suggested the release of American hostages kidnapped by militias related to Iran in the Middle East  was achieved as an exchange for weapons, but the US government denied it.

For Nicaragua, it meant the continuation of the war between the Sandinista army and the Contra guerrillas based in Honduras. The US administration kept supporting them. The war seriously harmed the Nicaraguan economy and put much pressure on the Sandinista revolution and society.

Which action was not a precedent set by President George Washington? He served only two terms. He lived in the White House. He e
Georgia [21]

George Washington was elected unanimously twice as the first president of America. He helped define the future role and authority of the office. He understood well that it is necessary to revive executive power in the country. He believed that the precedents he had to make was necessary for the republic to function, but did not intend to implement a dictatorship or a monarchy. He appointed the Cabinet, and proposed the main laws to the Congress, with the intention of the Presidency to be powerful. He spent a lot of time doing government jobs, organizing meetings with the public in the afternoon, as well as dinner with invited guests.

He wanted to spend time on his property, especially under the pressure of obligations and merciless journalists, and thus made the president's withdrawal into his homes, under pressure from the public, acceptable. He retired after eight years and thus set the precedent that the president could only serve two mandates. It was later broken by Roosevelt.

The right answer is He lived in the White House.

Thus a war of independence begun, which saw Vietnam gain independence from France. However, Hi Chi Minh was a different ideology and the American government didn't really like that ideology.
