By: Connor Tonderum
 The Cold War was to destroy many international affairs for over 10
years than many major problems occurred such as the Cuban missile
crisis, Vietnam, Hungary, and the Berlin wall.
 Lots of people during this time feared the developments and
advancements in weapons of mass destruction.
 Before the cold war countries such as Ukraine and Georgia were all
one big country but then the collapse soviet union occurred.
 The Cold War went on from 1945-1991. It started
not long after the end of World War 2
 Many things happened in between this time like
the Korean War ended. Many important things
one more thing was that the Berlin wall walls
 The Cold War began because of a struggle for control
of politics in these nations.
 And there was a lack of a mutual agreement dealing
with Germen Re-Unification was a great reason for
the start of the cold war also.
 And started after World War 2 because many
countries fell in to poverty and was a big down fall.
(All revolved around Communism)
 The Cold war got its name because there was no real
guns, bombs, tanks or military equipment.
 It was a war against Capitalism and democracy Vs.
Communism and dictatorship and the communist
had a conference in Yalta during World War 2.
 And then it got worse when china tried snooping on
the Soviet Union, and stealing there secrets.
 The first conflict that I am going to go over is the
Cuban missile crisis, On October 22 1962
Kennedy said to the public that the Soviet Union
had placed nuclear missiles in Cuba 90 miles
from the coast of America. For months the Soviet
Union had been shipping a couple thousand
vehicles and around 22,000 men to Cuba in an
offensive attempt to attack the United states to
stop the nuclear missile.
 Other conflicts during the cold war were the Bay
of Pigs, and the Vietnam War.
 During the 1980’s the Soviet Union fought a
frustrating war in Afghanistan. At the same time, the
Soviet economy faced the continuously escalating
costs of the arms race.
 In December 1991 Soviet Union leader Mikhail
Gorbachev told his country that it was the end of the
cold war. They signed a decree that dissolved the
Soviet Union and ended the East-West competition
and the arms race.
