1. During the Cold War, the Soviet Union detonated the largest nuclear weapon the world had ever seen. The Soviet Union detonated its first atomic bomb on August 29, 1949, at the Semipalatinsk Test Site in Kazakhstan. The event ended America's monopoly on atomic weaponry and launched the Cold War.

2. As World War II was ending, the Cold War began. This was to be a long lasting and continuing confrontation between the Soviet Union and the United States, lasting from 1945 to 1989. It was called the Cold War because neither the Soviet Union nor the United States officially declared war on each other.

3. Russian historians believe that Churchill and Truman are the ones responsible for starting the conflict aimed at destroying the US These differences caused the mounting tension between the Soviet Union and the west at the end of World War II.

4. The U.S. and the U.S.S.R. fought the Cold War for 45 years. It consisted of covert action, proxy wars and a nearly-complete polarization between the two sides among the rest of the world. In 1991, the U.S.S.R collapsed suddenly and completely, becoming a number of independent countries and the Russian Federation.

Answer:

1. The Cold War, although called a war, was not actually a war, but the name given to the conflict between the two powerful nations of the world, namely the United States of America (USA) and the Soviet Union (USSR). As there was no actual war or shooting, it is known as the Cold War. It was more of an exchange of words and threats between the two nations. As both these nations were equipped with nuclear weapons at that time, tension was sensed all over the world.

2. The Cold War spans more than 4 decades (1945-1991). It began after the end of the Second World War (1945) and lasted up to 1991.

3. After the end of World War II, Communists seized power in Eastern Europe with the support of the Red Army and occupied certain parts of Germany and Austria. They were sealed off by army patrols. This region came to be known as the East Germany

4. During the time, the world witnessed many important events like the Vietnam War, Cuban Missile Crisis and the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Which views did the Federalists favor?
Artemon [7]

Answer: The federal government should be stronger than state governments.

Explanation:

The Federalists were a group of important intellectuals and lawmakers, which formed in 1787 to support and spread their belief that the 13 American states needed to unite under the same flag and grant more power to the federal government, while keeping their power as well. The Federalists believed there should be a federal Constitution in place (which later became the American Constitution), which would protect American citizens no matter what state they came from. Basically, the Federalists argued for the creation of a higher government structure, which would ensure respect for fundamental rights, and less power to the state governments. The Federalists called for a strong national government.
