Describe how cold war tensions were intensified by the space race

History
1 answer:
zvonat [6]3 years ago
7 0

The space race was the competition of space exploration between the United States and the Soviet Union. This reason intensified the cold war tentions because the Soviet union was the first to launch the first earth artificial satelite, putnik. It was a shock for the US experts and citizens who had hoped that their country would be the first one to accomplish that scientific advance first.

it was December of 1957 when the US first artificial satellite, named Vanguard, exploded on the launch pad. Finally, on January 31, 1958, the United States succeeded in launching its first satellite, the Explorer. The Explorer was still slighter than Sputnik, but its launch sent it deeper into space. The Soviets responded with yet another launch, and the space race continued.

From that moment it was all a competition to see who had better space and weapons programs. In the lates 1950s, the Soviet Union was by far the most superior in terms of technology.

To sum up, the launch of Sputnik fueled both the space race and the arms race, as well as to increasing Cold War tensions, as each country worked to prepare new methods of attacking the other.

How did the war between japan and russia result in the cold war. How was the US and china involved exactly?
Yuki888 [10]

The war was actually between Japan and USSR, not Russia. It was fought on land belonged to China with US and Western allies watching and supporting the Chinese govt.

Japan was the aggressor and invaded part of China bordering USSR. To protect its own interests in China, USSR fought off Japan and took over the puppet govt in Manchuria set up by Japan. It allowed USSR to spread communism to China which turned into a communist country later. US and Western allies won WWII but were alarmed to see the spreading of communism. That confrontation was the beginning of the cold war.
