They taught them how to hunt and fish.how grow crops and make house out of resources .they told them which berry we're ok to eat.(hope that helped)
I think because if one person held a monopoly on (let's say clothes) it provides less variety for everyone as well as essentially they get all of the revenue and smaller (family owned and such stores) businesses go out of business or bought by the bigger businesses. (Also think of the board game Monopoly, when someone owns a lot of places that cost a lot and people land on it, they pay a lot. Then someone runs out of money and has to sell the property, meaning less of a chance for them to make money and those with money now buy the available land, increasing their chances of getting money) (So essentially the rich get richer and the poor get poorer and there is a large wealth disparity)
Hope this explanation helps. If not, I could try to elaborate.
Off the top of my head:
The US devised the Manhattan project during ww2 and afterwards to develop nuclear weapons. The kept this secret from USSR even though they were allied. This contributed to Stalin’s paranoia and increased tensions between the two countries.
You also mention how Truman used this ‘atomic-monopoly’ to give him confidence and make him think that he could dictate decisions during the Potsdam conference and other meetings which heightened tensions with USSR.
Nuclear weapons also played a large role during the Cuban Missile Crisis, the point where nuclear war was at it’s closest to becoming reality and destroying the world.
By that point the USSR had also developed atomic bombs. The fact both superpowers had nuclear weapons meant they had to be sensitive in the way they handled each other and you could link this with Cuba and argue that it was the only reason the Cold War didn’t turn into full-scale, physical war.
There’s other things you could say beyond these points as well.
