The United States and the Soviet Union competed against each other, did not engage in direct conflict, and used indirect means, including espionage warfare, to engage each other.
-
The Cold War refers to the period from 1947 to 1991 when the two major powers, the United States and the Soviet Union, in addition to direct war, were in a state of confrontation in economic, political, military, diplomatic, cultural, ideological and other aspects.
-
To put it simply, the Soviet Union was secretly competing, saying that it was going to defeat the Soviet Union by all means except war.
-
The Cold War was a war as opposed to a hot war.
Let's First Understand Hot War A hot war is a confrontation with real swords and guns.
Opposite. The Cold War was about not moving swords and guns, not moving soldiers and horses.
Use all non-military actions to destroy the other side.
A typical example is the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union.
Now the Cold War mentality still exists.
The way to break the Cold War is to oppose hegemonism
-
The United States led the Western capitalist countries to take hostile actions against the Soviet Union and other socialist countries by all means except armed attacks in order to "contain" communism. This policy is known as the Cold War policy. The most basic features of Cold War policy are:
Contain communism but do not resort to force. The way of the Cold War policy is: blockade and containment, which is the fundamental way of the Cold War policy, that is:
Do not engage in economic, diplomatic, military cooperation with hostile countries, do not contribute to the economic development of the participating countries of the hostile alliance, and block the channels through which the hostile alliance (mainly the hostile camps of NATO and the Warsaw Pact) alliance may become strong.

Iraq War.
The Iraq War was a military operation launched against Iraq on March 20, 2003 by a joint force dominated by British and American forces. Because it is a continuation of the Gulf War, it is also known as the Second Gulf War.
After more than seven years until the withdrawal of US combat troops from Iraq in August 2010, the US side finally failed to find mass destruction**, but ended the war on the grounds that the documents and witnesses that Saddam's regime had already destroyed.
On December 18, 2011, all U.S. troops withdrew.
Effects of the war: As the smoke of the Iraq war gradually dissipated, the goal of the United States to "bring down the country and control Iraq" seemed to have been achieved, but the United States soon discovered that they could be dragged into a protracted guerrilla war.
From the time Bush announced the end of the large-scale military operation in Iraq to the present, the situation in Iraq has not stabilized as expected, but has become more and more chaotic.
The increasingly complex war situation and huge military spending have gradually made the United States feel powerless, and it has also cast a shadow of uncertainty over the global economy.

After the Cold War, the United States launched wars such as the Afghanistan War and the Iraq WarBoth wars were fought in the name of counter-terrorism. The 911 incident shook the United States. At that time, the U.S. treasury was full, its comprehensive national strength was at its peak, and unilateralism was in vogue.
In order to demonstrate the prestige of the world's only superpower, and to respond to the security anxiety of the people at home, the United States urgently needs to take retaliatory action.
Topographic features of the United StatesThe terrain of the United States is varied, with high terrain in the west and low in the east. The East Coast coastal region has coastal plains, wide in the south and narrow in the north, extending all the way to New Jersey, and there are also some glacial sedimentary plains in places like Long Island. Behind the coastal plain is an undulating foothill strip that stretches to the 1,830-meter-high Appalachian Mountains in North Carolina and New Hampshire.
To the west of the Appalachian Mountains is the Great Plains of the United States, which is relatively flat and is home to the Great Lakes and the Mississippi-Missouri River Basin, the fourth largest river basin in the world. West of the Mississippi River, the topography of the inner plains begins to rise, eventually entering the vast and sparsely topographically characterized Great Plains of the central United States.

-
Since the end of the Cold War, the United States has waged a total of four wars: the Gulf War, the Kosovo War, the Afghanistan War, and the Iraq War. The most famous are 2 times: one in Kosovo and one in Iraq.
-
Both wars were relatively famous, the Iraq War and the Kosovo War, which are also very influential to this day.
-
There were two wars, the first in Kosovo and the second in Iraq.
The USSR no longer exists, could it be that the USSR still won? There is no reason why the United States spent so much effort to dismantle the Soviet Union during the Cold War, and it is impossible for it to end up defeating itself. At first, the United States gathered experts in various fields, including psychological research, to deal with the Soviet Union, and finally succeeded in dismantling the Soviet Union and plundering the Soviet Union's wealth. >>>More
Since the founding of New China, the United States has carried out political blockade, economic sanctions, military threats, and other containment measures against New China, and the US containment measures against China are an important manifestation of the US Cold War policy. >>>More
U.S. Containment Diplomacy in the Cold War When discussing U.S. containment strategy during the Cold War, concerns about its political context or political implications can be said to have been dominant.
There is no benefit, our country always thinks that the Americans are taking advantage of Iraq and Afghanistan. Maybe it's because of the cultural differences between the two countries. The misunderstanding is deeper. >>>More
America's national treasures are divided into three categories, namely "commemoration," "rationality," and "imagination." >>>More
