The Second World War affected the foreign policies of the United States in the postwar world. How did the strained allied relationships, particularly those of the United States and the U. S.S. R. contribute to initiating the Cold War? Discuss the key events that occurred from the Berlin Airlift to the Cuban Missile Crisis and their impact on the United Stat

The (non-existing) communist threat.

Explanation:

The. Berlin Blockade (1948-1949) can be seen, in retrospect, as the start of the Cold War. The Sovjets blocked the Western sectors of Berlin as a protest to the introduction of the Deutsche Mark in Berlin. This event troubled the already tense relationship between the two world powers.

Now it must be said that from the beginning the wide-spread belief that the U.S.S.R and it´s communist comrades (Cuba) was going to complete what Hitler couldn´t manage, i.e. conquer the whole world, was, in retrospect, an absurd idea from the American side.

This by paranoia fueled belief - see for more information Eric Hobsbawm in The Age of Extremes - was shown clearly in the Truman Doctrine, the failed invasion in Cuba and the Cuban Missile Crisis, not to mention the Vietnam War in which several American presidents ¨tapped their way through a dense cloud of incomprehension, confusion and paranoia.¨  Eric Hobsbawm

explanation: in 1955 in montgomery, alabama, a girl refused to give up her seat on a public bus. the girl was black, and the passenger looking to take her seat was white. this is a familiar tale, but it's not about rosa parks. the girl in the story is a 15-year-old high school student named claudette colvin, and this act of defiance occurred nine months before rosa parks did the same thing. colvin was arrested, and her case is what led to the u.s. supreme court's order for the desegregation of alabama's bus system. so, why don't we know colvin's name? "later i had a child born out of wedlock; i became pregnant when i was 16," colvin says. "and i didn't fit the image either, of, you know, someone they would want to show off.
