Why do you think the rivalry between the u.s and the soviet union was called the cold war. what was "cold" about this conflict?
JulijaS [17]

The "Cold War" had that name because the two superpowers (the USA and USSR) did not fight a direct "hot" war against one another.  They engaged in a protracted stand-off against each other, and had an arms race of nuclear weapons and military strength.  They also supported "proxy wars" where they took opposing sides in conflicts happening in other parts of the world (such as the Six Day War in the Middle East).


Further detail:

Some of the deeper issues that caused rivalry and tension between the United States of America (USA) and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR)  were that the USA was committed to capitalism and democratic institutions of government, whereas the USSR was committed to communism and imposed authoritarian government.  The Cold War was mostly a tension between these worldviews.

There were also immediate conflicts and pressure points as the Cold War began in the late 1940s (after World War II).  One of those issues was that the USA had atomic weapons and the USSR did not.  (The US would not share that technology with the Soviets, who had been their ally in World War II.)  When the Soviets developed their own atomic weaponry, this led to a massive arms race between the superpowers -- which brought significantly more tension to the situation.   Further tensions developed over which nations would be aligned with each of the superpowers -- either with the USSR and communism and with the USA and its democratic, capitalistic worldview.  And (as mentioned above), the two superpowers aided differing sides in conflicts that took place in various parts of the globe during the Cold War years.

How are the colonies at Jamestown and Plymouth similar?
LekaFEV [45]

"The worst people"from other countries are coming to the United States and bringing crime and violence.
Alona [7]

Answer:

Why is this not true:

Immigrants come to this country primarily to work, to be reunited with family members or to escape a dangerous situation.

Statistics show that the overwhelming majority of immigrants are not criminals. Most are couples, families with children and workers who are integral to the U.S. economy.

Why did it stand out to you?

With so much controversy around the issue of immigrants who are undocumented, it’s easy to overlook the fact that most of the foreign-born people living in the United States followed the rule.

What did you learn from this?

For about the first 100 years, the United States had an "open immigration system that allowed any able-bodied immigrant in,"

What hashtags comes to mind?
