Korean War

The United States and the Soviet Union have very different ideologies. The United States wants everyone to be free and not have to worry. The Soviet Union wants their government to have total control over their people. This was one thing that caused the United States to get involved with the Korean War. We wanted to stop the spread of Communism. But this apposed trouble. General MacArthur wanted to use nuclear weapons and wanted to kill everyone. Most of the United States people loved MacArthur. This caused problems with President Harry Truman. He wanted to fire MacArthur but he knew this would cause the people to get very angry. Finally Korea and the United States talked it out in peace. 

Red Scare

The Red Scare is one on the things that came with getting into the Cold War. With the United States getting involved, the country getting scared, people started getting frantic. People in the movie business would fire people if they suspected anything to do with communists; the same was for the industrial industry. The Red Scare got a huge coming to when people would start strikes. Also, someone tried to bomb the attorney- general. This caused many people to get arrested. Also when the Soviet Union tested the nuclear bomb, this caused our country to go into full military mode and get involved. A year later, after Korea became communist supporters, we got involved in the Korean War. 

United States and Soviet Union

The United States and the Soviet Union greatly very differently, the United States is a capitalism country and the Soviet Union is communism country. In the United States you can have a free market which means that you are free to trade with other countries as you please.  The Soviet Union on the other hand the government does not allow their people to trade, it must be the government that gets to trade not the person who has the product. With the Soviet Union being communistic it makes trading goods very hard, you really don’t have a choice on how you can trade. We should be thankful in the United States we are very lucky that we can trade as we please.
