For me the height of the Cold War was the first Nuclear Test by the Soviet Union on the 29th of August 1949.

This was also probably the start of the 'cold-war' itself.
Before the Soviet Union has tested a live Nuclear Weapon, the United States was flexing it's muscles all over the world based on it's economic and military might.

However, the Soviet Nukes proved that there was another player on the global scene with the same weapons as the United States.

Subsequently Soviet Union couldn't, and in effect did, challenge America's dominance in every corned of the world for the next 40 years.

For me, this precise moment was more important than the 'Cuban Crisis'

Which statement best illustrates the theories of Prince Klemens von Metternich? We should do away with the current system of tax

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Absolute power should be returned to the monarch

Explanation:

As an advocate for the European balance of powers, he supported the Holy Alliance, seeing in it a power that would maintain the old conservative social order in Europe, based on the feudalism and absolutist rule of the monarch, and the only worthy force against liberal Napoleonic ideas.

Metternich feared the national aspirations of the Hungarian nobility as well as Panslavism, the idea of the cultural and political unity of the Slavs, an idea popular in Russia, where it was believed that this unity should be achieved under the leadership of Russia.
