Cold war proxy wars
As we have learnt so far the Cold War was characterized by significant mistrust between two ideologically opposed super powers the USA and the USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics). These two opposing forces saw the each other as bent on one another's destruction. In turn, they both sought to bolster their own standing domestically through propaganda and internationally through competition militarily, culturally and scientifically.
This section of the Area of Study focuses on the international results of the Cold War competition. In it you will focus on explaining how both the USA and the USSR propagated and maintained their ideology and the results this had in many countries around the world.
