The main
goal of Joseph Stalin was to transfer the agriculture of Soviet Union form
individual farms into a system of large state collective farms. He believed
that collectivization would improve agricultural productivity. One of the
Stalin’s goals was the rapid industrialization, which he achieved by forced
collectivization, but it harmed people a lot. People worked hard but they didn't get the profit that they made, so it made them not to work as hard as they did
before.
The United States’ agriculture during the
same period of time was quite different. There was capitalism in the US which means
that they were lot of private owned businessmen and farmers. This method was
more profitable. People worked hard and they got the profit that they made,
which made them work harder and harder and develop the economy.
The Korean War
The Korean War
One of the most important goals of United
States during the Cold War was to prevent the spread of communism in other
countries. This policy was called Containment. According to Containment United
States found it important to help all the countries that were oppressed by
communism, and needed help. That’s why United States entered into Korean War. The
Containment Policy gave United States a reason to intervene other wars, which
involved communism. The United States used this policy not for just fighting
for democracy, but for its own interest, which created many casualties and
economic issues and also was highly criticized.
The Red Scare
The Red Scare
The Second “Red Scare” in the Unites
States occurred during the Cold War. The major fear of the United States
population and the President Truman was the spreading of the Communism. The
Democratic United States had concerns that Communists might work as Soviet spies
in United States. That was the main reason that President Truman issued
Executive Order, according to which all federal employees had been analyzed to determine
whether they were loyal to the government. One of the efforts to investigate
communist activities was called House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC).
HUAC’s investigations were focused on Communists working inside the federal
government and in the Hollywood film industry. Movie executives created
blacklists that barred suspected radicals from employment. The same thing
happened in other industries.
