In Chronological order, or about that way..
Early Days
With the shadow of the second World War looming, Europe, & Asia sat in ruins. The old European Empires were gone. The map was changed forever. What was left, were 2 Nations that would grow into Superpowers. Each with an extremely different ideaology. And if you believe it is over with the fall of the Soviet Union, you are sadly mistaken. As this node grows, you will see the story unfold in pieces, here & there along the timeline to spice it up. What will you see, you may ask? Things you never learned in school, or most likely read on your own.

Post Cold War, but still related to the two powers.
Report of the Ballistic Missile Threat to the United States July 15, 1998
The National Security Strategy of the United States While this does not relate to the Cold War directly, I do feel it is important. This document in my opinion is the NSC-68 of the new century. The old ways outlined in that document have now passed. Since the fall of the Soviet Union the United States has been somewhat without direction in how to deal with new threats unlike those of the past. Hopefully this new doctrine will channel the energies of the country in the same way NSC-68 did. |
