Coexistence of Capitalism and Communism After World War II: Key Events and Policies

After World War II, the world witnessed a complex coexistence between capitalist and communist ideologies. The Yalta Conference set the stage for dividing Germany, leading to the formation of NATO and the Warsaw Pact as opposing military alliances. The United Nations aimed to prevent future conflicts, while the Marshall Plan was developed to aid Europe's recovery and contain communism. Tensions grew with events like the Berlin Blockade and the Truman Doctrine, establishing a geopolitical landscape marked by rivalry, ideological battles, and ongoing resistance.
