Why did the US and USSR never declare war on one another?
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

Neither country wanted to engage in a nuclear war that would lead to worldwide destruction.

Explanation:

The US and USSR became arch enemies soon after World War II ended, and that continued to be the case until the USSR seized to exist. The two countries became opponents and developed very bad and tense relations because they had different ideas as to how the world should shape up, but also because both of them wanted to be the only dominant power in the world.

Both countries were heavily armed and the weaponry was constantly icnreasing, with newer and better weapons constantly been created to gain an advantage. Nuclear weapons were abundant at both as well, but they never got used in an open war between them. The reason was simple, if a direct war between them occurred, there would have been worldwide destruction and everyone will lose, so that was kept as the last option in case of an attack by the other. Not to be mistaken though, these two were constantly in war with each other, not just diplomatic, but also military one, just that they used other countries as battlefields where they supported a particular side.

How did European diseases affect the people of the Western Hemisphere? Why was this different from the effects in Europe? (two p
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

The European diseases affected the people of the Western Hemisphere greatly. Outbreaks of various diseases brought by the Europeans to the Americas such as smallpox, influenza, malaria, diphtheria, etc. It killed many of the Native Americans and disrupted their societies. Due to the diseases having been in Europe for a longer time, the people got more immune to them, however, this was the first time the Native Americans were exposed to it.

Due to them not being immune, the mortality rate for a Native American catching a disease was extremely high, much higher than they would have been if it was already introduced. The Native Americans also had very limited health care therefore were not able to be treated as well as the Europeans. Because of this, the diseases affected them for much longer periods of time.
