Marking the U.S. commitment to stop the spread of communism in a way worldwide, so, the implementation of American foreign policy were due for decades. It led to significant military and economic involvement in regions like Greece, Turkey, and Vietnam, which influencing U.S. military spending and the creation of an anti-communism association in order to look for the preservation.

The fear of communism contributed to the creation of NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) in 1949, a military alliance that continues to exist today as a cornerstone of Western security and defense. This alliance meant that the countries on it would help each other's in the case of an attack from a communist country.

A massive aid package aimed at rebuilding Europe after WWII, the Marshall Plan helped prevent the spread of communism by stabilizing European economies. It also led to stronger economic ties between the U.S. and Europe, contributing to globalization and the interconnected world economy we see today.Increasingly, the economic revival of Western Europe, especially West Germany, was viewed suspiciously in Moscow. Economic historians have debated the precise impact of the Marshall Plan on Western Europe, but these differing opinions do not detract from the fact that the Marshall Plan has been recognized as a great humanitarian effort. Secretary of State Marshall became the only general ever to receive a Nobel Prize for peace. The Marshall Plan also institutionalized and legitimized the concept of U.S. foreign aid programs, which have become a integral part of U.S. foreign policy.

When the Soviet Union blockaded West Berlin, the U.S. organized an airlift to supply the city. This event demonstrated U.S. resolve in standing against Soviet aggression and solidified the division of Germany, which still affects European geopolitics today.

Considered the first direct conflict during the Cold War, The Korean War, and meant the intervention of U.S in the Asian continent. Also, it reinforced the idea of a "domino effect" a theory that had in mind the possibility of communism spreading across Asia, influencing U.S. interventions in countries like Vietnam. The war started as a South vs North Korean politics, thus to decide if communism would remain. In the course of the next year, the communist leadership built the KPA into a formidable offensive force modeled after a Soviet mechanized army. The Chinese released Korean veterans from the People’s Liberation Army, while the Soviets provided armaments. By 1950 the North Koreans enjoyed substantial advantages over the South in every category of equipment. After another Kim visit to Moscow in March–April 1950, Stalin approved an invasion.

The fear of communism led to the rise of McCarthyism, where Americans were investigated and blacklisted for alleged communist ties. This period of paranoia shaped American political culture, leading to a focus on national security and creating a legacy of suspicion regarding foreign influence.

This was the closest the world ever came to nuclear war. The standoff between the U.S. and the Soviet Union over Soviet missiles in Cuba led to the establishment of the "hotline" between Washington and Moscow and a rethinking of nuclear strategies. It also spurred the growth of the nuclear arms race and the eventual treaties that shaped today's arms control efforts.

Personally my favorite part of the whole movement by their implications. The U.S.A. has been criticized to the exhaust by their reasoning behind the creation of the Vietnam War. Coming from the involvement of important figures such as Nixon in an attempt to get re-elected the extension of the Vietnam War to have a problem to stop. The Vietnam War deeply affected American society, leading to the massive spread of anti-war protests and a shift in public opinion about government and military involvement. It also contributed to the rise of political cynicism and a more cautious foreign policy in later years.

The reasoning behind America's reasoning was the intern benefit to start a war that they could win, and, the possibility to stop the spread of communism in Vietnam, thus following the "Domino theory". The United States were specially aggressive in this sense, so they needed to demonstrate some democracy.

The Cold War and fear for the expansion of the communist movement led to the U.S. with a competitor, Russia. This will of improvement took years -even leading to espionage missions like in the movies within both giants- Russia and U.S. still information from each other, in order to dominate what many thought as impossible, the moon. This event was released after 10 failed test in which the original tripulants died horribly due to scientific mistakes. Originally the Apollo 1 was launched in the February 21 of 1967 (today but 48 years ago), the first tripulants died before even get launched , died by carbon dioxide. The U.S.'s victory in the Space Race, culminated in the Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969, showcased American technological and scientific superiority. The space program not only contributed to advancements in technology but also had a lasting impact on American education, inspiring generations in science, technology, and engineering fields.

Many believed that the war ended when the U.S. got to the moon, when in reality the Soviet Union's doom happened several years later, just after the wars with Afghanistan and revolt in Eastern Europe started showing the cracks of communism. Thus, leading to a collapse in the internal government of Russia. Finally leading to, the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War. Marking a shift in global power dynamics. The U.S. rose as the world's dominant country, and it begin a new era of globalization, shifting the focus to economic competition, technological innovation (similar to what happened on the Cold War but more globally), and international relations in a more interconnected world. Certainly, without the Cold War the modern global commerce wouldn't even exist, aka: Many countries would lack for many products made by other countries due to the low relations that they had before the Cold War.

After his smashing winning to the Soviet Union, Vietnam War and many other wars it was obvious that the U.S. would find comfort in war. It's simple, the origins of the rise in the country are incredibly related with the art of war, thus, leads to the modern days in which the country is still increasing the weaponery and military force to be the first one to get advantage for the next possible war. Dwight D. Eisenhower’s warning about the military-industrial complex since 1961, farewell address became a key point of reflection. The Cold War drove massive growth in defense spending, which reformed the American economy, leading to the rise of large defense contractors and a permanent expansion of the U.S. military presence around the world. Due to this, the U.S. has proven its ability to get benefit from wars and basically founding it the best way to rise his power and economy. Thus, in the recent times is complicated, wars can't be made as before, many people can die with it and they need at least a good reason/excuse to do so.
