World War II in Europe

It should be a "war that ended all wars", but the Second World War began decades later. World War II began as a result of the desire for Germany and Japan to want more land. The total aftermath of this war eventually reached 60 million people at the time, ie 5% of the world's population. It is impossible for those who say that at the end of the First World War all wars are nightmares about the terrorist attacks of World War II.

In Yalta, even before the end of the Second World War, America, Russia, and the UK had very different views on the world order to come. World War II destroyed the rule of Europe and brought three world systems. In the Cold War, the first world - America and allies - and the second world - trapped in the Soviet Union. The third world contains almost everyone else. The United States and the Soviet Union are confident in the universal applicability of their ideologies, began to expand the scope of their impact, and are protecting each other through numerous nuclear weapons. However, in the Third World, most of the hostility broke out as anti-colonialist nationalists wanted independence. However, freedom does not automatically bring economic power as the new nation is trying to establish a new political order for itself. Democracy and material wealth give confidence to Americans, but they can not hide racial discrimination or hide unwelcome wars.

Due to the collapse of World War II, leadership in world politics in Western Europe weakened. The capital of the Soviet Union was in the city of Eastern Europe in Moscow, the United States began to lead the world in the West, and Russia led the so-called Eastern Group. The relationship between the US with a free market economy and the Soviet Union with a communist economy is called the Cold War. "Iron Curtain" represents the political geography of Europe during the Cold War. Iron curtains are ideological boundaries dividing Europe into two groups - Western countries affected by the United States and the East side countries affected by the Soviet Union. International economic organizations and military organizations are developing on both sides of iron curtains. The US and the Soviet Union have built huge nuclear weapons. Many of them target Europe as a whole.

With the conclusion of World War II, a new type of war, the Cold War has emerged. The West insisted on democracy and while attempting to create an iron curtain, the Soviet Union tried to spread communism in Eastern Europe. As the threat of nuclear weapons has eradicated millions of people in a matter of seconds, the Cold War is born and lasts for decades with secret intelligence, speech and diplomacy. With the collapse of Eastern European and Russian communism, the Cold War ended in 1991. During the Cold War, when the Soviet Union launched the first satellite Sputnik into space, new tensions increased. It shocked the United States and caused space competition between the two countries. Technological achievements produced by the space race include advanced weapons and equipment, lunar landing capability, prosthetic gear, water purifier, satellite TV.
