the cold war

with the many different civilizations there were a few who turned to Karl Marx and his version of a society that would be totally equal to one another. this Utopian idea did not blossom into Marxism but rather communism and it made way to become one of the biggest diplomatic conflicts between the united states and Russia. the cold war was the manifestation of the creation of the atomic bomb. there was a huge rivalry with atomic weapons and because both sides had them they made the phrase MAD mutual assured destruction. the race was not only with the arms but also with the space race and what became the Vietnam conflict. Vietnam was the manifestation of the fight against communism. in the 1960, the Vietnam war was because of the domino theory where the west would be overcome by communism because they were each dominoes. the war was thought to be in favor of the united states until the Tet offensive and made its way into news all over the world. this battle was fought between the west and communist Russia until the fall of communism.
