Final Blog...sniff, sniff!

I look at the Cold War caused by both military technology and political idealogy. When the US became the super power of the west after WWII, most everyone was waiting too see the next step, dealing with Russia. Each political power was differnt on all levels...economically, socially but were the same in world thinking that THIER way was right and should be spread. Military wise the Americans had the hydrogen bomb, but only time would give them that advantage. They each wanted control, and each knew the other was in the way. With Russias developement of the bomb giving them equal standing with the US, Europe was stuck in the middle. With the European countries being land-locked with Russia, experiences and ways of life during the Cold War were greatly influenced on how thier veiwpoint of this time was compared to US feelings and thinking.
