Paper Summary:

In this article, the writer provides an overview of the state of different countries in the world and the relations between them in the years from 1945 - 1970. The writer discusses that the Cold War was at its height in 1970, the strategic situation between the two reigning super powers, the United States and the Soviet Union, was strained, and disorder and revolution were rampant throughout the world.

From the Paper:

"Soviet Russia held Eastern Europe stronger than ever in the iron grip of its hegemony when its troops crushed the flowers of the reforming "Prague Spring" and Alexander Dubcek (1967-1969). Their drive to achieve "strategic parity" with the United States amassed 1,050 ICBMs to the Americans' 1,054; they "surpassed the American submarine force of 656 SLBMs and were closing the gap in long range bombers" . Yet even as the two nations lowered their heads to the juggernaut, their mutual interest in nuclear arms control did not prevent Russia from supplying the North Vietnamese military effort or the United States from becoming the main arms supplier to Israel after France abdicated that position prior to the Six Day War ."
