In your opinion, was the Cold War inevitable?

If not, was the United States or the

USSR more to blame?
Johndclare.net states the conflicting ideologies between the two superpowers. The
Cold War was inevitable, due to both sides, the US and the USSR, having conflicting
political philosophies. These countries have armed themselves with nuclear
weapons. Both countries lived in fear of a nuclear attack, so neither side made the
first move. Neither the US nor the USSR should be given more blame for the Cold
War. Both superpowers armed themselves and expanded not out of aggression, but
out of fear of the other superpowers strength. Both sides wanted to be ready to
counter should one of them had struck first.
Why has the Korean War often been called Americas forgotten war? What
purpose did the war serve, and what impact did it have?
Writer Melinda Push states that the Korean War was given the moniker the
Forgotten War due to the little public attention it received. Most Americans
ignored the fact that a war was raging on the other side of the world. The purpose
of the war was the spread of communism. The US supported South Korea to prevent
the spread of communism. The USSR supported North Korea to help communism
expand. The war took a heavy toll on the Korean people, many Korean soldiers and
citizens on both sides were killed, and their economy and infrastructure suffered
massive damage. The Korean War contributed to the Cold War, since this allowed
the US and USSR to fight indirectly through their Korean allies.
Was the United States, the USSR, or Cuba more to blame for the Cuban missile
crisis? What impact did the crisis have on U.S.-Soviet relations?
Cubanmissilescrisis.org describes the Cuban Missile Crisis as a thirteen-day
confrontation from October 15 to October 28, 1962 between the United States and
the Soviet Union over the positioning of nuclear missiles in Cuba. The US gets the
most blame for the Cuban Missile crisis. The US initially planted missiles in Italy and
Turkey. Those missiles would give the US a quick, close-range nuclear strike on
Russia. To counter, Russia tried to deploy nuclear missiles in Cuba, to even the fight.
This crisis ended with a peaceful agreement and somewhat soothed the relationship
between the US and Russia. Despite this, they still had a strong rivalry after the
crisis.
