U.S.-U.S.S.R. Relations during the Cold War

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses and analyzes three important events before and during the Cold War period that chronicle the eventual erosion of the "Grand Alliance" between U.S. and U.S.S.R. These three events are enumerated as follows: (1) the breakdown of U.S.-U.S.S.R. ties after WWII due to socio-political differences and incompatibilities; (2) integration of the Marxist-Leninist ideology into Russian society after WWII; and (3) U.S. President Harry Truman's declaration of his containment policy against Communist countries, with a special focus on U.S.S.R.

From the Paper:

"The Cold War, a long-term conflict between the Communist states in the Eastern region and the United States, began after WWII, wherein the rise in the popularity and increasing influence of Socialist (Communist) ideology was happening. While the rise of Communism became popular in USSR, China, and other countries like Vietnam and Korea, United States centered its attention in curbing Communism through the Soviet Union, since the nation is the prime mover in embracing and applying Marx's ideology of a socialist society."
