'''KaraH'''-- ''In Progress''
'''1.''' The Cold War took place in the mid 1900s, 1945-1991 to be exact. There are many who played a hand in the war. In America, Truman was at the start and was followed by Eisenhower and Kennedy. Truman attempted to face the communists by his support of those who resisted communistic moves, while Eisenhower took a different approach. He wanted to use the armed force to keep communists from the countries that surrounded the Soviet Union. Kennedy followed in Eisenhower's footsteps with plans to free Cuba with some thousand "Cuban Exiles." Along with this, he started a "race" with the Soviet Union to reach the moon. There was really no reason for this since the Soviets barely so much as tried, it seems that it was more the issue of pride since the Soviets managed to make it to outer space before America.
'''2.''' There are two major wars asides from the two World Wars that are nearly forgotten, yet combined over 100,000 Americans lives were destroyed, a total which doesn't include those lost in the opposing countries. The Korean and Vietnam wars. America had more business being in the Korean war then some others it has participated in in the past. Communism was on the verge of pushing past the Korean border lines and adding the millions of people to it's list of those it controlled. That would be one more country that could later turn on America, potentially endangering the population. However, Vietnam was yet another example of a war America didn't have as much reason to fight, nor to such a point. The reason we were in Vietnam was when an American ship opened fire on torpedo boats, the news somehow become muddled, making it seem as if we were attacked.
A country should be united, not divided, so I disagree with those who are fine with Korea being separate, nearly two different countries in belief and government, but I would agree with those that celebrate the fact that communistic views didn't take over the entire nation. Concerning Vietnam, I personally hate the outcome. We barge in valiantly, but later leave them to fend for themselves. Sure, we gave them a few planes to aid their cause, but it didn't stop the communistic Northern Vietnam from conquering the South.
