When Barack Obama became president
Both the North and the South thought the war would only last a few weeks to months. The North thought that as soon as the South saw the devastation of the battle field they would give up because they wouldn't want to lose so many men. The giving up slavery would be worth saving thousands of lives. The SOuth thought they could wait out the North. Between having the North tire itself out and key battlefield victories, they thought that the popularity for the war would wane and the North would simply give up. Neither side was correct and both were set in the idea that they would be free or bring the nation together. No matter the cost in human life.

The United States, after the second world war, tried their best to stop the spread of communism in Europe. Several policies implemented and their main goal was to limit the spread of communism in Europe. These policies were the policy of containment, the Marshall Plan, and the Truman Doctrine. The United States perused democracy in the country where people have the right to chose their government.
The Soviet Union followed communism after the Russian revolution. The Soviet Union, during World War II, captured many territories and began exercising military and political power. The Soviet Union ruled by Joseph Stalin. He became a dictator of the Communist Party after the death of Vladimir Lenin. The Eastern European countries, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, East Germany, Hungary, Ukraine, and Czechoslovakia, became the satellite states.
Both were fought over the government and gave more power to the common man.
An armistice is b) an agreement between warring nations to stop fighting. An armistice has been officially defined as "a formal agreement of warring parties to stop fighting. It is not necessarily the end of a war, since it may constitute as a cessation of hostilities while an attempt is made to negotiate a lasting peace."
