The US also went to war with multiple nations just as North Korea and Northern Vietnam to contain communism. ]]> 2017-01-26 20:05:57 UTC https://padlet.com/016351/b228q67t5uzx/wish/149747671 Explain how the Cold War impacted domestic politics. 016351 https://padlet.com/016351/b228q67t5uzx/wish/152283046 The Cold War led to many changes in politics due to the Second Red Scare. The government started being much more cautious with people coming into the nation and even questioning people already here, trying to pinpoint and terminate the communists. Laws were put in place to ensure that people high in power couldn't be communist as well as putting together groups to hunt down possible communists. The Cold War also played a part in the Space Race, making the US fearful of the USSR being able to send atomic bombs through space to attack. McCarthyism also played a part in politics, making people afraid of communism and forcing many politicians to lose their job. ]]> 2017-02-07 19:52:58 UTC https://padlet.com/016351/b228q67t5uzx/wish/152283046 Explain how the USA helped the transition of communist governments toward democratic reforms. 016351 https://padlet.com/016351/b228q67t5uzx/wish/157460823 The US had a huge part in transferring other nations into democratic nations. The Communist people had a taste of freedom, hoping to spark their economy. The freedom they got made them crave more, just like the freedom seen in the US. This led to revolutions in the USSR, making many nations free. This as well as the containment of communism allowed them to easily rebel. ]]> 2017-03-02 19:40:24 UTC https://padlet.com/016351/b228q67t5uzx/wish/157460823
