The Cold War's impact was global in scope and created political divisions based on free world orientation, socialist orientation, or nonalignment. The legacy of this conflict continues to shape the geopolitics at work in our world today. Cold War History: A to Z is meant to provide a quick, easy to read, introduction to the complex Cold War concepts which dominated the last half of the 20th century.  \nThe legacy of the Cold War is still with us as we confront the problems of today’s world: the complex relationship between Russia and the United States; the residue from wars in Afghanistan and Iraq; the continuing American embargo and travel restrictions in place regarding Cuba; the nuclear stalemate with Iran; the drain of military expenditures on strained economies; the sway of the defense establishment on public policy decision-making. Whether you want to shine at a cocktail party or pass an exam, A to Z is the illustrated primer you need to achieve your goal.  \nFirst in a series of Cold War A to Z e-books, Cold War History: A to Z is written by Dr. Lisa Reynolds Wolfe. Widely published, Lisa [holds a Ph.D. in](holds a Ph.D. in) Politics from New York University and a Master of Science in Policy Analysis and Public Management from the State University of New York at Stony Brook. Areas of particular interest and expertise include Cold War Studies, sustainable development, heritage, and the environment.  \nplease Review This Book  \nBy reviewing this book you help ensure future updates will be accurate and well-formatted.  \na: arms Race  \nThe first A-bomb—code named Trinity— was tested at Alamogordo (New Mexico) on July 16, 1945. On his way home from Potsdam less than a month later, President Harry Truman received news that the atomic bomb had obliterated Hiroshima (Japan) .  \nInitially, Truman thought that he could figure out how to use the bomb to gain concessions from the Soviet Union. But he was never able to do this. Instead, Stalin immediately pushed forward the Soviet effort to acquire atomic weaponry. THE ARMS RACE WAS ON.  \nOver the course of the Cold War there were many attempts to control nuclear weapons and curb the arms race. Here are a few:  \nAugust 1963: Limited Test Ban Treaty—Prohibits nuclear testing or any other nuclear explosions in the atmosphere, in outer space, and underwater.  \nJanuary 1967: Outer Space Treaty—Prohibits sending nuclear weapons into earth's orbit or stationing them in outer space.  \nJuly 1968: Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty—Prohibits the transfer of nuclear weapons to other countries and prohibits helping countries without nuclear weapons make or obtain them.  \nMay 1972: Antiballistic Missile Treaty—Bans space-based defensive missile systems and limits the United States and the Soviet Union to one ground-based defensive missile site each.  \nJune 1979: Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty—The first formal strategic arms treaty sets an initial overall limit of 2,400 intercontinental ballistic missile launchers, submarine-launched missiles, heavy bombers, and air-to-surface missiles.  \nDecember 1987: Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty—Provides for the dismantling of all Soviet medium-and shorterrange-land-based-missiles and establishes a system of weapons-inspection to guard against violations.  \nThe Start Treaties came in the 1990s, after the Cold War had ended.  \nB: brinkmanship  \nLicense  \nSome rights reserved by Ron Cogswell  \nMany scholars argue that there were two distinct phases of the ","cbCaipv20k0HlDfg","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipv20k0HlDfg","pdf",1665726,41,"English","# Preface\n## Cold War overview and lasting legacy\n## Arms Race (A)\n## Brinkmanship (B)\n## Containment (C)","[{\"question\":\"What time period does the book’s Cold War overview cover?\",\"answer\":\"It describes the Cold War as beginning at the end of World War II in 1945 and running until the Soviet Union’s collapse in 1990.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the text characterize the Cold War’s early approach to nuclear conflict?\",\"answer\":\"It describes an arms race driven by initiatives on both sides, alongside efforts to control nuclear weapons through treaties such as the Limited Test Ban Treaty and the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.\"},{\"question\":\"What is “brinkmanship” as defined in the text?\",\"answer\":\"Brinkmanship is the ability to reach the verge of war without actually entering the war, meaning going to the brink while forcing outcomes.\"}]","Cold War History - A to Z | PDF",1790885756,103]
