The Cold War 1945-1990: The US versus the USSR (Soviet Socialist Republics)

The Cold War mostly started because Joseph McCarthy claimed (or made rumors) that there were over 200 communists working in the US government.

Definition: A political, strategic, and ideological struggle between the US and the Soviet Union. It was spread throughout the world-Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

Communism vs. Democracy or Socialism (government owns and controls businesses) vs. Capitalism (citizens own and control businesses) 

Karl Marx said that the rich have everything and that the poor have nothing, and that is unjust and unfair. He said that poor ARE GOING TO overtake the rich. He said that was something that was inevitable.
