Terms 417 & 418 Group 7. Lilly, Denise, Patricia.
Cold War. • The Cold war was mainly between the Soviet Union and its satellite states against the powers of the Western world which was mainly the United States. • It was because of the continuing state of political conflict, military tension, proxy wars, and economic competition that still was occurring after WWII.
Cold War. • The name of the war was made because both sides were afraid of fighting each other directly. • They used words as weapons (threatening and accusing each other or made each other look foolish.) instead of nuclear bombs.
Decolonization. • When another country establishes a government or authority through settlements. • Countries formed instead of territories.
