         <description><![CDATA[<p>Árið 1947 tilkynnti utanræikisráðherra bandaríkjanna áætlun sem var kölluð Marshall áætlunin. Markmið áætlunarinna var að bjóða löndnum í evrópu sem illahöfðu komið út úr stríðinu efnahagshjálp svo þau gætu byggt upp efnahag sinn á ný fljótlega. Bandaríkin buðu þessum löndum bæði peningagjafir og hagstæð lán. Í skiptum fyrir það þurftu þau að skuldbynda sig í (OEEC) sem var ný stofnun sem átti að vinna að frjálsri verslun í evrópu. Það markmið er frekar ólíkt hugmyndafræði kommúnistanna þar sem ríkið ræður öllu (verðlag vara, laun fólks o.s.frv.) Á meðan hugmyndafræði Bandaríkjanna var/er að verðlag er  ákveðið eftir framboði og eftirspurn. Sovét ríkin vildu að lönd austur-evrópu neituðu boði bandaríkjanna þrátt fyrir að vera í verulegum efnahagslegum vandamálum á meðan lönd vestur-evrópu samþykktu með ánægju. Með Marshall áætluninni óx efnahagur vestur-evrópu verulega mikið ásamt auknings áhrifa Bandaríkjanna í vestur evrópu </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>In 1945, Germany lost WW2 to the allied forces. After that, Germany was divided into 4 zones of occupation one controlled by the U.S.A., another by France, another by Britain, and another by the Soviet Union. 4 years later, the Federal Republic of Germany, or West Germany, was formed as a country with free will and the ability to choose its own leader, while a few months later, the German Democratic Republic, or East Germany, was formed and controlled by the Soviet Union. After that, a lot of people left East Germany because the living conditions there were so bad.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Vopnakapphlaupið byrjaði þegar Bandaríkin sprengdu kjarnorkusprengjurnar í Hiroshima og Nagasaki. Eftir það var eitt stærsta markmið Sovétríkjanna að gera kjarnorkusprengju því að annars gætu Bandaríkin bara tekið yfir veröldinni en þeir gerðu það ekki og 1949 sprengdu Sovétríkin fyrstu kjarnorkusprengjuna sína, eftir það var kalda stríðið komin í fullan ham og engin vissi hvort að veröldin myndi enda á morgun. Eftir þetta vilja Bandaríkin og Sovétmenn gera vetnissprengju sem getur verið allt að 1.000 sinnum sterkari en kjarnorkuspre. Eftir það gera Bandaríkin vetnissprengju sem er 1000 sinnum kraftmeiri en kjarnorkusprengja og stuttu síðar gera sovétmenn sína eigin vetnissprengju. Eftir þetta gera Bretland og Frakkland kjarnorkusprengjur og öll þessi lönd voru að prófa kjarnorkusprengjurnar en ekki mikið gerist vegna þess að engin þorir að ráðast á neinn annan vegna ótta að verða lagt í rúst sjálf. En sem betur fer þróaðist Vopnakapphlaupið í Geimkapphlaup.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>After world war two ended (WWII) Germany was divided into 4 occupational zones controlled by the United States, (USA) The United Kingdom (UK) France and of course the Soviet Union (USSR). Berlin the capital of Germany was similarly divided into 4 sectors, The eastern ones controlled by the Soviet Union and the western sectors were controlled by western allies. As tensions between the west and east grew the division solidified. The ideology difference between the western allies (capitalists) and the eastern allies (communists/socialists) was to great and tensions were too high so in 1949 the division became official as "The Federal Republic Of Germany" (FDR) was founded by western Germany and "The German Democratic Republic" (GDR) was founded by the east under Soviet influence. 1961 the eastern Germany government (backed by the soviet union) made the decision to raise a wall between eastern and western Berlin predominantly due to massive amounts of East Germans fleeing to the West.</p><p>On the night of august 12-13th 1961 east German soldiers and workers began putting up barbed wire fences on the border between east and west Berlin. Over time this barrier was enhanced and  replaced by a 3.6  meter high and 155 Km long concrete wall. The wall was equipped with guard towers, anti vehicle trenches and a "Death strip" which was a strip along the wall which soldiers were ordered to shoot anyone on. November 9 1989 after 28 years of standing as symbol of a cold war between the east and the west the wall finally fell.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<ol start="4"><li><p>október 1957 var fyrsta gervihnettinumm, sovéska sputnik 1 skotið út í geim. Geimfar sputnik skapaði mikið uppnám útaf því að tæknin til þess að skjóta hlutu út í geim þýddi að það væri hægt að varpa sprengju hvert sem er á jörðinni. Bandaríkjamenn lögðu alla áherslu á að komast fram úr sovét mönnum í kapphlaupinu þannig að árið 1958 stofnuðu þeir geimferða stofnun sem allir ættu að þekkja, það var stofnunin NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) Það var ekki mikið verið að spara þar. Bandaríkjamenn eyddu háum upphæðum í að þróa nýja geimferðar áætlun og árið 1969 21 júlí steig Neil Armstrong fyrsta skrefi á tunglinu.</p></li></ol>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Kommúnistar tóku yfir mörgum löndum í kalda stríðinu sem var oftast gert með valdaráni og mikilli hjálp frá Sovétríkjunum. Þetta fannst Bandaríkjunum alveg óásættanlegt vegna þess að þau ímynduðu sér að ef land myndi verða að kommúnistaríki að löndin í kringum það myndu vera í meiri hættu á að verða fyrir valdaráni Kommúnista sem er ekki rangt. Þetta er stór ástæða fyrir því að Bandaríkin fóru inn í Víetnam, það var vegna þess að þeir héldu að ef Víetnam yrði kommúnistaríki að öll asía myndi falla í hendur kommúnista.&nbsp;Kommúnistar stjórnuðu Kína, Norður-Kóreu, Kúbu, Víetnam, Júgóslavíu, Ungverjalandi, Póllandi, Mongólíu og Austur-Þýskalandi yfir allt kalda stríðið.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>October 16th 1962 president John F. Kennedy was shown a picture taken from an American spy plane/jet which showed soviet nuclear missiles arriving in Cuba no more than 30 km south of the USA. The reason why the soviet union were allowed to move those missiles to Cuba was because Fidel Castro (Communist) became prime minister in 1959. Kennedy had to make a decision, some of his colleagues advised him to attack Cuba with Nuclear weapons but he feared that would start a World  War So he decided to put an embargo on Cuba and had US military ships surround Cuba to prevent importing of weapons or any other products could enter the country with the demand that the Soviet Union removed the missiles and only then would he lift the embargo. The US prepared to attack Cuba if the Soviet Union refused to remove the missiles. People held their breaths for days fearing what the dispute might lead to. The world was on the brink of an atomic war when finally on October 28th Nikita Khrushchev announced that they would remove the missiles. Finally the world could breathe</p>]]></description>

         <title>An explanation of a hot vs. cold war</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>I imagine when you think of war you think of death explosions and destruction. That is a hot war. A hot war is when two countries are fighting with bombs, guns, jets, and drones. This causes death and destruction, but a cold war isn't like that. A cold war is when two countries are on the brink of fighting but the fight doesn't come. For example, the only cold war in history was between Russia and the U.S.A. This led to proxy wars where the two countries funded and aided two sides of a war, like in Vietnam.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Ekki ósvipað og Kórea þá var Víetnam skipt í tvo hluta, Norður hlutinn varð að kommúnista ríki og suðurhlutinn markaðsríki. Það var ennþá slatti af kommúnistum í suðurhlutanum en ekki jafn "dóminerandi" og í Norður hlutanum en þrátt fyrir það gerðu kommúnistar suðurhlutans uppreisn gegn stjórninniárið 1959 og fengu þeir stuðning Norður Víetnam og aftur ekki ósvipað Kóreu stríðinu vildu bandaríkin ekki að víetnam kæmist undir kommúnista völd þannig þau þurftu að stíga inn og veittu suður Víetnam fjárhagslegan stuðning og fengu líka senda hernaðar ráðgjafa en þrátt fyrir allt þetta gekk kommúnistunum betur. 1963 tók Lyndon B. Johnson, bandaríkja forseti þá ákvörðun að gera sprengju árás á Norður Víetnam og árið 1964 sendu Bandaríkin hermenn inn í Suður Víetnam til að berjast með þeim. Þegar það var mest þá voru u.þ.b. fimm hundruð þúsund Bandarískir hermenn að berjast í Víetnam. Því harðar sem Bandaríkjamenn sóttu að andstæðingnum því meiri stuðning fengu kommúnistar frá almenningnum af því að fólki fannst þeir vera að ráðast á saklaust fólk og þar sem þetta var fyrsta stríð sem sýnt var í sjónvarði sá allt fólkið hvernig hermennirnir réðust á saklaust fólk. Norður víetnam fékk líka vopn og vörur frá sovétríkjunum. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>The USSR was the second communist country, with Soviet Russia being the first. The USSR was formed from 15 original countries: Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan. The USSR fell in 1991. Even though the USSR didn't fall until 1991, it was doomed way before that. It really started with Gorbachev, who came up with glasnost, which means honesty, this led to Poland leaving the USSR since they were allowed to voice their opinions. This wasn't the only reason that the USSR fell. It was also because there weren't enough products being produced to support all of the people in all of these countries.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Varsjárbandalagið var bandalag milli Búlgaríu, Ungverjalands, Austur-Þýskalands, Póllands, Albaníu, Tékkóslóvakíu, Rúmeníu og Sovétríkjanna sem byrjaði til þess að keppast við Atlantshafsbandalagið. Þetta bandalag leyfði Sovétríkjunum að stjórna herum þessara landa með það í huga að styrkja vörn og öryggi þessara landa. Atlantshafsbandalagið eða Nató (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) var bandalag milli Belgíu, Kanada, Danmerkur, Frakklands, Íslands, Ítalíu, Lúxemborg, Hollands, Noregs, Portúgal, Bretlands og Bandaríkjanna, með þessu bandalagi tryggðu öll þessi lönd sitt öryggi fyrir árás af því að samningurinn sagði að ef eitt land yrði fyrir árás yrðu öll lönd að koma því landi til bjargar. Árið 1991 var Varsjárbandalagið endað með sum af þeim löndum fljót að fara í Nató þegar Sovétríkin féllu. Núna í ár 2024 eru 32 lönd í Nató með stærsta keppanda þeirra vera BRICS sem er í rauninni nýja Varsjárbandalagið með Brasilíu, Rússland, Indland, Kína, Suður-Afríku, Íran, Egyptaland, Eþíópíu og Sameinuðu arabísku furstadæmin í BRICS.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>After China became a communist country the US started fearing that communism would spread throughout Asia. During the war Korea had been occupied by the Japanese and after the war the country was divided into two occupation zones, the soviets in the North and the US in the South. In the year 1950 North Korea (soviet) attacked South Korea. North Korea's leader during that time was Kim il Sung who wanted all of Korea to be a Communist country and at first it was looking good for North Korea until the US felt they had to step in and decided to send an army into South Korea to fight with them and North Korea got support from the Soviet countries like China.
