The Korean War began when some 75,000 soldiers from the North Korean People’s Army poured across the 38th parallel, the boundary between the Soviet-backed Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to the north and the pro-Western Republic of Korea to the south. This invasion was the first military action of the Cold War.
After some early back-and-forth across the 38th parallel, the fighting stalled and casualties mounted with nothing to show for them. Meanwhile, American officials worked anxiously to fashion some sort of armistice with the North Koreans. The alternative, they feared, would be a wider war with Russia and China–or even, as some warned, World War III.
Even so, the North Korean invasion came as an alarming surprise to American officials. As far as they were concerned, this was not simply a border dispute between two unstable dictatorships on the other side of the globe. Instead, many feared it was the first step in a communist campaign to take over the world.
In July 1951, President Truman and his new military commanders started peace talks at Panmunjom. Still, the fighting continued along the 38th parallel as negotiations stalled. Both sides were willing to accept a ceasefire that maintained the 38th parallel boundary, but they could not agree on whether prisoners of war should be forcibly “repatriated.” (The Chinese and the North Koreans said yes; the United States said no.) Finally, after more than two years of negotiations, the adversaries signed an armistice on July 27, 1953. The agreement allowed the POWs to stay where they liked; drew a new boundary near the 38th parallel that gave South Korea an extra 1,500 square miles of territory; and created a 2-mile-wide “demilitarized zone” that still exists today

The Cuban Missile Crisis was the closest the world got to nuclear armagedon.
It started when some american spies that were flying over Cuba detected that nuclear and ballistic missiles were being deployed in Cuba by the Soviet Union. When the white house saw it, they decided to do a blockade of Cuba. The US surrounded Cuba with warships and Tue US said that if a soviet ship tried to pass through the blockade, the warships would destroy it. The cominication between the leaders of the US and the USSR was bad too. Kennedy and  Khrushchev negotiations were going badly because Krushchev refused to withdrawl the missiles from Cuba and also due to fails of the translators of both sides and that messages were received by the other side with a lot of delay. The cubans also shot an US spy aircraft. In fact, a soviet nuclear submarine, believing the war had already started, almost launched a nuclear warhead. But, because nuclear submarines need the aproval of the three generals of the submarine to launch the missile and one of the generals didn't agree, the world was saved. Also, the day before the US invasion of Cuba Krushchev called Kennedy and they resolved the crisis with the US getting the missiles of Turkey out of it and the USSR doing the same with Cuba.

The Vietnam War was a long, costly and divisive conflict that pitted the communist government of North Vietnam against South Vietnam and its principal ally, the United States. The conflict was intensified by the ongoing Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. More than 3 million people (including over 58,000 Americans) were killed in the Vietnam War, and more than half of the dead were Vietnamese civilians. Opposition to the war in the United States bitterly divided Americans, even after President Richard Nixon ordered the withdrawal of U.S. forces in 1973. Communist forces ended the war by seizing control of South Vietnam in 1975, and the country was unified as the Socialist Republic of Vietnam the following year.

BERLIN WALL
The 12 of August of 1961, after the second World War, the wall of Berlin was constructed. It was constructed in the night and was ready for the next morning. It was a wall made up of wire,  this was provisional. This decision was take by the communist side of Berlin. After the second World War, Berlin was divided in 4 : french, english, american and soviet parts. With time, this division became into 2: capitalist and communist. The capitalist part was located in the west of Berlin and the communist in the east. The wall was created because the capitalist part grew in the economy, so people left the communist part searching for better conditions of life. Around 3 million people left the communist side. To solve this, the communist built the wall. They replaced wire with reinforced concrete. They didn't allow people to cross the wall, even they had family on the other side . They also put guards with dogs,  mines and snipers. There's a famous place called "franja de la muerte" or strip of death where this activities took place. There were 8 checkpoints were diplomatic people or people with special visa could cross. If any American soldier cross, there would have been a lot of problems. With the wall, transports were interrupted. There was bad radio communication so they called the checkpoints with names(in order to prevent any equivocation) such as Alpha (A),  Bravo (B), Charly (C), etc. Next to "Charly ", there's a museum where stories about people that could cross the wall are told. People had to invent ways to cross the wall, such as  making underground tunnels or staying in small places like a suitcase. This wall lasted 28 year! (until the 9th of November of 1989) Now a days, Berlin continuous having parts of the wall and other symbols that represents the war in order to realise the terrible consequences of this.

The Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962 was a direct and dangerous confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War and was the moment when the two superpowers came closest to nuclear conflict. The crisis was unique in a number of ways, featuring calculations and miscalculations as well as direct and secret communications and miscommunications between the two sides. After extensive consultation with his foreign policy and military advisers, Kennedy blockaded Cuba on October 22, 1962. The two sides stood on the brink of nuclear war, but Khrushchev capitulated six days later and the missiles were dismantled. In return, Kennedy disbanded its own missile sites in Turkey. The most confrontational period in US-Soviet relations since World War II was at an end.

Was an American policy created by the President Harry Truman that consisted on giving support to those small countries or not powerful countries that were being threatened by communist guerrillas or the communist exapansion. It's aim was to stop their expansion by making small allies like Greace or Turkey giving them money to fight against those enemies, it is thought that this doctrine created the NATO alliance to fight against communism and that Truman's Congress speech started the Cold War " one of the sparks". It began as an Antifascist policy and a way to help countries that were (as the Americans thought) being repressed by communism, they were "fighting for world peace" but it actually turn to an anticommunist policy and a way to gain allies against the soviets.

The Berlin Wall was a concrete barrier that physically and ideologically divided Berlin from 1961 to 1989.
At the end of World War II, Berlin was divided into four parts: Soviet, American, French and English. The American, French and British sectors became the German Federal Republic and the soviet sector became the German Democratic Republic.
The bad Soviet economy and the flourishing West Berlin caused that until the year 1961 almost 3 million people left the communist part of Berlin to enter capitalism.
The Soviet side began to realize the loss of population that was suffering and on the night of August 12 1961, a provisional wall was built.
The next morning, a 155-kilometer provisional wire fence separating the two parts of Berlin was placed. Transport was interrupted and no one could cross from one part to another.
Later, the Berlin Wall became a concrete wall between 3.5 and 4 meters high.
The fall of the wall was made by the opening of borders between Austria and Hungary in May 1989. This motivated huge demonstrations that led to the government to allow the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9 1989.
Between 1961 and 1989 more than 5,000 people tried to cross the wall and more than 3,000 were arrested. Around 100 people died in the attempt.
