How did the Policies of the United States and the Soviet Union help end the Cold War?

Sergio039 [100]

<h2> This is your answer mate</h2>

The fall of the Berlin Wall. The shredding of the Iron Curtain. The end of the Cold War.

When Mikhail Gorbachev assumed the reins of power in the Soviet Union in 1985, no one predicted the revolution he would bring. A dedicated reformer, Gorbachev introduced the policies of glasnost and perestroika to the USSR.

GLASNOST, or openness, meant a greater willingness on the part of Soviet officials to allow western ideas and goods into the USSR. PERESTROIKA was an initiative that allowed limited market incentives to Soviet citizens.

Gorbachev hoped these changes would be enough to spark the sluggish Soviet economy. Freedom, however, is addictive.

The unraveling of the SOVIET BLOC began in Poland in June 1989. Despite previous Soviet military interventions in Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and Poland itself, Polish voters elected a noncommunist opposition government to their legislature. The world watched with anxious eyes, expecting Soviet tanks to roll into Poland preventing the new government from taking power.

The Berlin Wall falls

Here, crews of German troops tear down the Berlin Wall. While many had taken axes and picks to the Wall upon the collapse of Communism in Germany in 1989, the official destruction of the Berlin Wall did not begin until June, 1990.

Gorbachev, however, refused to act.

Like dominoes, Eastern European communist dictatorships fell one by one. By the fall of 1989, East and West Germans were tearing down the BERLIN WALL with pickaxes. Communist regimes were ousted in Hungary and Czechoslovakia. On Christmas Day, the brutal Romanian dictator NICOLAE CEAUSESCU and his wife were summarily executed on live television. Yugoslavia threw off the yoke of communism only to dissolve quickly into a violent civil war.

Demands for freedom soon spread to the Soviet Union. The BALTIC STATES of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania declared independence. Talks of similar sentiments were heard in UKRAINE, the CAUCASUS, and the CENTRAL ASIAN states. Here Gorbachev wished to draw the line. Self-determination for Eastern Europe was one thing, but he intended to maintain the territorial integrity of the Soviet Union. In 1991, he proposed a Union Treaty, giving greater autonomy to the Soviet republics, while keeping them under central control.

Mikhail Gorbachev

When Mikhail Gorbachev assumed power of the Soviet Union in 1985, he instituted the policies of glasnost and perestroika in hopes of sparking the sluggish economy. What resulted from this taste of freedom was the revolution that ended the Cold War.

That summer, a coup by conservative hardliners took place. Gorbachev was placed under house arrest. Meanwhile, BORIS YELTSIN, the leader of the RUSSIAN SOVIET REPUBLIC, demanded the arrest of the hardliners. The army and the public sided with Yeltsin, and the coup failed. Though Gorbachev was freed, he was left with little legitimacy.

Nationalist leaders like Yeltsin were far more popular than he could hope to become. In December 1991, Ukraine, BYELORUSSIA, and RUSSIA itself declared independence and the Soviet Union was dissolved. Gorbachev was a president without a country.

Americans were pleasantly shocked, but shocked nonetheless at the turn of events in the Soviet bloc. No serious discourse on any diplomatic levels in the USSR addressed the likelihood of a Soviet collapse. Republicans were quick to claim credit for winning the Cold War. They believed the military spending policies of the Reagan-Bush years forced the Soviets to the brink of economic collapse. Democrats argued that containment of communism was a bipartisan policy for 45 years begun by the Democrat Harry Truman.

Others pointed out that no one really won the Cold War. The United States spent trillions of dollars arming themselves for a direct confrontation with the Soviet Union that fortunately never came. Regardless, thousands of American lives were lost waging proxy wars in Korea and Vietnam.

Most Americans found it difficult to get used to the idea of no Cold War. Since 1945, Americans were born into a Cold War culture that featured McCarthyist witchhunts, backyard bomb shelters, a space race, a missile crisis, détente, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, and the Star Wars defense proposal. Now the enemy was beaten, but the world remained unsafe. In many ways, facing one superpower was simpler than challenging dozens of rogue states and renegade groups sponsoring global terrorism.

Americans hoped against hope that the new world order of the 1990s would be marked with the security and prosperity to which they had become accustomed.

What is written on the base of the statue of liberty apex? Someone showed something else written on the statue of liberty indica

Karolina [17]

There are several phrases associated with the Statue of Liberty, but the most recognizable is “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” This quote comes from Emma Lazarus’ sonnet, New Colossus, which she wrote for a fundraiser auction to raise money for the pedestal upon which the Statue of Liberty now sits. The poem did not receive much recognition and was quite forgotten after the auction.

In the early 1900s and after Lazarus’ death, one of her friends began a campaign to memorialize Lazarus and her New Colossus sonnet. The effort was a success, and a plaque with the poem’s text was mounted inside the pedestal of the statue

cuáles fueron las causas, el desarrollo y las consecuencias de la guerra fría. Mínimo cinco ítems por cada aspecto

vagabundo [1.1K]

La respuesta correcta a esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

Estas fueron las causas, el desarrollo y las consecuencias de la Guerra Fría.

Estaos hablando del conflicto entre la Unión de Repúblicas Socialistas Soviéticas y Estados Unidos durante el periodo llamado de la Guerra Fría, posterior al término de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Las causas fueron la tremendas diferencias políticas, estratégicas, ideológicas y territoriales entre los Estados Unidos y la Unión Soviética.

Joseph Stalin, líder de la Unión Soviética, nunca estuvo conforme con los acuerdos tomados en la Conferencia de Yalta al final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Eso distanció a la URSS de los aliados Gran Bretaña, Francia y por supuesto, los Estados Unidos.

Finalmente, en búsqueda de una mayor presencia y dominio mundial, la Unión Soviética se apropió de países en los que instaló la ideología Comunista. Estos países fueron Checoslovaquia, Hungría, Alemania del Este, Polonia, Bulgaria y Rumania.

Esas diferencias provocaron serios incidentes como:

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.

Finalmente, la Unión Soviética y los Estados Unidos mantuvieron una competencia-pelea en la Carrera Armamentista, la Carrera Espacial, la expansión de Comunismo en el mundo por parte de la URSS y la contención de esa expansión, por parte de los Estados Unidos.
