History

The Pennsylvania Dutch are a cultural group formed by early German-speaking immigrants to Pennsylvania and their descendants. The word "Dutch" does not refer to the Dutch people or their descendants, but to German people whose ethnonym in their own language is Deitsch or Deutsch. Most emigrated to the U.S. from Germany or Switzerland in the 17th and 18th century. Over time, the various dialects spoken by these immigrants fused into a unique dialect of German known as Pennsylvania German or Pennsylvania "Dutch". At one time, more than one-third of Pennsylvania's population spoke this language.

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.
