Answer:

Sped up the cold war through technological contributions

Explanation:

The cold war was war between the United States and the Soviet Union which was against communism.

The United States got worried when the Soviet Union launched their satellite Sputnik. The worried came in the realization that the Soviet Union could launch a nuclear weapon from space targeting the United States. The United States needed to catch up to the Soviet Union space efforts by building and launching their own satellite into space. The United States however got a shock when the Soviet Union launch Sputnik 2.

The Soviet Union was always ahead in the space race until the first man on the moon which the United States achieved.

The space race prompted both countries to exceed each other by building satellites and missiles. This accelerated the progress of the cold war and the process of technology development. The cold war was affected by the technological contributions made by both sides.

Roman55 [17]

La respuesta correcta a esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

Los nueve eventos que nos permiten entender el conflicto entre la Unión de Repúblicas Socialistas Soviéticas y Estados Unidos durante el periodo llamado de la Guerra Fría, son los siguientes.

1) El primer incidente grave entre estos dos países fue el bloqueo de Berlín, ordenado por el líder Soviético Joseph Stalin en Junio de 1948. Las tropas Rusas bloquearon las entradas hacia Berlín, como una represalia por las decisiones de los Aliados.

2) El segundo incidente fue la decisión de los Aliados de llevar víveres, alimentos y provisiones a Berlín, por medio de aviones. Durante los once meses siguientes, aviones de la Fuerza Aérea Británica y Norteamericana transportaron todo tipo de ayuda a Berlín.

3) El derribo del avión norteamericano "U-2," en mayo 1, de 1960.

4) La Crisis de los Misiles Cubano, en octubre de 1962. El mundo estuvo al borde de otra Guerra Mundial, debido a la crisis por los Misiles Soviéticos instalados en Cuba, que apuntaban a las ciudades importantes de los Estados Unidos.

5) La Guerra de Corea. En su lucha por mantener el control en ciertas regiones del mundo, la Unión Soviética brindó apoyo a Corea del Norte, bajo la influencia Comunista. Como era de esperarse, los Estados Unidos dieron todo su respaldo a Corea del Sur.

b) Algo similar sucedió con La Guerra de Vietnam. Estados Unidos decidió apoyar a Vietnam del Sur, mientras que la URSS decidió apoyar a Vietnam del Norte.

7) El lanzamiento del satélite Soviético Sputnik, que representó una clara ventaja de los Soviéticos sobre los norteamericanos, por conquistar el espacio.

8) La firma del tratado SALT, para limitar la producción de misiles nucleares.

9) La etapa de renovación de la URSS con la implementación de los programas Glasnot y Perestroika, respaldados por el líder Soviético Mikahil Gorbachev.

Durante todo este conflicto, la mayoría de países Latinoamericanos se mantuvieron a la expectativa pero por razones geográficas naturales, se veían inclinados a favorecer las decisiones de los Estados Unidos. La única excepción fue Cuba. Fidel Castro decidió sumarse al apoyo Soviético e instaló el Comunismo en su país.

To what extent was asserting neutrality for Wilson similar the asserting neutrality for Jefferson and Madison? Cite two specific
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Split US allegiance--During World War I, the US people were split on who to help and the same was true for Jefferson and Madison during the Napoleonic Wars between Britain and France.

Jefferson and Madison attempted to remain neutral in the conflict between Britain and France during the Napoleonic Wars because NE had a trade relationship with Britain but many believed the US owed an alliance to France after they helped during the Revolution. 

Wilson faced a similar issue as immigration had created a diverse US population with support on both sides of World War I. Creating an alliance with either side could split the country and create problems within the US.
