Before you begin, a few things to consider:
At the end of World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union were allies...but this did not mean the countries were to remain friends.
Have you heard of the Cold War?
You may know that the term refers to the period after WWII, when high tension existed between the U.S. and other nations, but do you know what it means?
What might the difference be between "hot" and "cold" wars?
Think about these for a moment - then you're ready to move on!
