Many believed that communists were inciting rebellions in the form of labor unions in almost every state; focus shifted from the Red Scare when the need to focus on the war in Europe overpowered the supposed presence of a communist party. After World War II, tensions arose between Russia, then known as the USSR, and the United States. This tension and the events that followed came to be called the Cold War, one of its main events being the Second Red Scare. The Second Red Scare was more destructive than the first. During this Scare, the United States believed that it was constantly under attack from Communists, both from within and outside of the nation 's borders.

Disagreement between the two superpowers, the U.S and the U.S.S.R is what started the Cold War, just as disagreement is the start of any other war. Disagreements grew and became feuds and feuds caused tension, which created an uncomfortable position and lifestyle for everyone. When the United States and the Soviet Union’s alliance ended, they realized they had different viewpoint on how nation’s should
Both the newly formed domestic and foreign policies that America established after their claim for independence, undermined the nation’s strength and foundation and brought negative outcomes that would shape american politics from the 1790’s to the 1840’s. In the time ranging from the 1790’s to the 1840’s many events came that would bring Jeffersonians and Hamiltonians further against one another, splitting the body of the nation of America and eventually bringing opposing sides to each political decision. One issue came to cause much tension between Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton, and this was the proposed Bank of the United States which would be used by the federal government for money deposits.

The Mexican War introduced conflict between the two parties over the “would-be” outcome of the new territories (Schultz, 2009). The Compromise of 1850 attempted to settle differences between the two; however, the components angered both sides. Northern states were angered by the tough Fugitive Slave Act, and it initiated talks of secession in the southern states. The South was quickly becoming out populated by the North and they were desperate to keep the Senate balanced. Additionally, each side began taking drastic opposing measures against the other.

The treaty included fifteen parts and 440 articles specifying Germany 's obligation for the war and its reparations. The Treaty of Versailles had disastrous consequences for Germany because it led to significant financial, material, territorial, and colonial losses. Under the treaty, Germany lost 13 percent of its territory and all of its overseas colonial possessions, limits were imposed on its military, and heavy reparations were imposed. The most controversial part of the treaty was Part VIII that established Germany 's liability for war and the damages of the Allies.
This created a competition of
(Doc 2) Still shaken by the events of World War II, where German leader Adolf Hitler invaded France and much of Europe for land power, de Gaulle was fearful that a Western European union with German leadership would undo the resolutions of the war. France, having been allied with Britain in the previous wars against Germany, wanted to renew this alliance in the form of a European Union under French and British leadership. However after the formation of the European Economic Community, an organization promoting economic integration among France, West Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg, 21 years later, Charles de Gaulle took a different stance on leadership in Europe. (Doc 8) Having been rejected by Britain in the earliest unification attempts, de Gaulle became supportive of a sans-Britain Community. De Gaulle’s view, removed from the immediacy of French-German conflict, started agreeing with the idea of a French and German led Community, united by similar economies and therefore similar interests.
Beginning as a proxy war, the conflict in Korea would have the nation divided at the 38th parallel as agreed by the United States and Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Until the years of 1945 to 1950, as both of the world’s greatest superpowers funded and supported the sides which shared their view.

The Allied and Axis Powers were the two groups of countries that fought against each other in World War II. Each group had three main countries. The United States, Great Britain, and the Soviet Union were the leaders of the Allied Powers, while Germany, Italy, and Japan were the elite of the Axis Powers. France was also an important country for the Allied Powers, but it was conquered quickly at the beginning of the war. The leader of the United States during World War II was Franklin D. Roosevelt and later on Harry S. Truman, and Winston Churchill was the prime minister of Great Britain at the time.
Around 1945, tensions began arising between the US and the USSR, which lead to the Cold War. During a 40 year time period, each nation tried to spread their political and economic systems. Both the US and the USSR wanted to spread their ideologies across the world. The origin of the Cold War was distrust; in “fighting” this war, the political and military tactics were the most effective.
Post World War II America was one of the most militarily active periods in American history, having been involved in three wars, spanning roughly from 1947 to 1992, in order to stop the spread of communism. Overall, the United States permanently broke its previous isolationist policy in an attempt to promote democracy throughout the world; however, the wars proved to have serious negative effects on America. America was impacted by the military involvement in the Cold War, the Vietnam War, and the Korean War. Shortly after the end of World War II, America and Russia, the two super world powers emerging from the war, divided various parts of Eurasia—namely Germany and Korea—between themselves.
