The main reason why the US sent troops to overthrow Afghanistan's government in 2001 was because the nation was harboring members of the terrorist group al-Qaeda, which was responsible for the 9/11 attacks.
The Cold War really began before WW II as the US and Russia had 2 very opposing views of government and didn't trust each other. However, during the war, the two countries had to put their differences aside to beat Nazi Germany. Towards the end of the war, it was evident that heat was building up between the two countries again. The Soviets were taking liberties in areas that suggested they were not only interested in winning the war but taking land also. They insisted they control Berlin at the end of the war, wanted Manchuria for their own and not to give back to China, insisted they be in charge of Postwar Japan operations (MacArthur said absolutely not) and were really upset that the US had the power to use a nuclear bomb that they didn't even know existed. The Soviets were also aggressive after the war in areas such as Korea and Viet Nam with "support".
They are all allied victories defeating the axis powers

2. Local rulers such as kings or sultans were used to govern the colonies in order to lessen the possibility of a revolt. Great Britain practiced this type of imperialism.
3. A form of imperial rule in which local rulers were left in place, however, they were expected to follow the advice of imperial advisers on issues such as trade and missionary activity. In this form of imperial rule, the countries are still independent, however, they are under the protection of an imperial country.
4. Officials and soldiers from the imperial country were sent to control the colony. This type of imperial rule was practiced by the French.
