On this day we began the Cold War unit. Mr. Bruns introduced it before we started presentations. Here is the info we got today:
Basics: Lasted from 1945-1990 with a few gray spots here and there. Was US and democracy and USSR and socialism. A political, strategic and ideological struggle between the US and the Soviet Union. East vs. West.
Communism: Pretty much started by Karl Marx, Fredrich Engels. Marx thought the world was unfair with poor vs. rich in industrialized countires that he made it so that all could be equal controlled by government. Red Scare and Bulshevik Revolution made Communism even stronger and more hated by the United States.
