This is a similar situation in India, even though the economy is progressing it is not strong enough and the exceptionally high poverty ensures that India has a long way to go before it is as developed as the USA.Russia threatens the USA in terms of military power and oil dependence however it’s economy is not strong enough to match the USA’s so it is not yet at a point where it can threaten the USA.Brazil also has the lowest GDP at $2.39 trillion which is behind Russia, India and China showing it is the least economically strong of the BRICs so it can not pose much of a threat to the USA economically.That being said, social problems and factors such as GDP may be holding China back partially and so the USA superpower status should only ...

The USSR believed that the USA planned to develop nuclear weapons against them.Therefore, in conclusion, I would agree that the Cold War broke out in Europe because the USA and the USSR disagreed fundamentally about how they should treat the shattered European economy, but only to a small extent.However, the USSR, which had for long had placed higher priority on its own security and internal development than on world revolution, focused more on developing a Soviet sphere of influence around its borders for security reasons after the war.Though the above stated points clearly proved the huge margin separating the USA and USSR in their views on the shattered European economy, and how it progressed the rift between the two superpowers, ther...

Also the Bombing in Hiroshima led to the increase in development of tensions between USA and USSR as the agreement was broken by USA about Japan.The reason behind these changes is due to the Atomic Bomb development in USA.During the period of 1942-49 USA and USSR already had hostilities between them and many historians’ asses the start of the Cold War earlier than the development of atomic weapon.It must be borne in mind that before attacking the Allied countries the major fascist states — Germany, Japan and Italy — destroyed the last remnants of bourgeois-democratic liberties at home and established there a cruel terroristic regime, trampled upon the principle of the sovereignty and free development of small countries, proclaimed as the...

The USA had failed to note that another reason of the Sovietisation of Eastern Europe was a form of security buffer against USA for Russia.On the other hand, the USA became very wary of the USSR’s actions and motives, given that the USSR had broken their own agreements on allowing traffic in and out of West Berlin.Thus this worsened relations between USA and USSR, contributing to the development of the Cold War as it triggered a response from the USSR, which was the COMECON.However the Sovietisation of Eastern Europe was actually not purely Imperialist, it was also partly as a security buffer against USA.The Berlin Airlift had a significant impact on the progress of the Cold War as it was deeply humiliating for the Soviets and was a poli...

In addition, this move led to the development of Islamist terror groups that posed a danger both to the United States and to its regional partners.In his campaign, Bill Clinton focused on democratic development; a strategy that made his campaign to take a different approach as compared to his rival, George W. H. Bush.Given these views, the United States involvement in the middle east has led to the development of several foreign policies during the Clintons and Bushs administrations in order to support their activities in the region.Many scholars believed its involvement in the democratization of the region played a critical role in the development of Islamic threats.This thus led to the development of extremist and radical regimes in th...

The USA declined so Great Britain and the other countries had to pay the loans back with interest; this meant that the banks in America were receiving lots on money.The new technology was linked with the development of mass production; this increased the efficiency and therefore led the products to be priced lower because the products were produced in such quantities.As the USA only cam into the war in 1918 the war was nearly over, once the war had ended and the Allies were victorious the USA had only lost about 100 000 men, this was a small amount compared to other countries.As people bought more products they were putting money back into the economy so it could develop.As the USA were part of the Allies, Great Britain asked if they cou...

The demographics of a nation are also of vital importance to its development and changes in population structure can have dramatic effects within both developing and developed nations.This is no longer the case and now the possession or development of nuclear weapons is deemed unacceptable behaviour (Hurrell, 2006).As of 2008, The CIA World Fact book ranks the USA as having the highest GDP/PPP of any individual nation (The EU is ranked higher than the USA but is technically a united group of countries) which stands at $14,440,000,000,000; around double that of the next country on the list, China (CIA, 2008).This is why China, and Asia in general, has not been so greatly affected by the ‘global’ recession as the USA and Europe.There is a ...

The attempts by the USA to improve relations with the USSR did not seem to be motivated by good will but more by internal economic problems within the USA, or at least a wish by the USA to direct its spending away from the military- showing that the USA felt that the USSR was a significant threat; she seemed dependent on a change in the Soviet Union’s spending to be able to change hers.This displayed an economic weakness in the USA as it was being forced to ‘cut back’, this was well known to nations outside the USA despite Dulles’ attempts to show that their decision to divert to nuclear weapons was once based on the idea they would get more “bang for the buck”.Eisenhower’s ‘New Look’ policy which involved increasing the nuclear armament...

The tension between the USSR and the USA also explains to some extent to why Stalin continued to ignore agricultural production and focus on industrial production as mentioned above.Agricultural production during the development of the cold war therefore continued to get worse as the planned 1950 target wasn’t met (didn’t get close).My first point is that Stalin focused his efforts even more on the development of industry than ever before.The fact that Stalin saw the USA as major competition in terms of being the ultimate superpower in the world also drove these policies faster than they might have been without the tensions of the cold war.Another reason that could be suggested why Stalin ignored agricultural production was because there...

While encouraging the Soviet Union to develop it’s own atomic bomb as soon as possible, Stalin regarded it as a weapon of bluff which was unlikely to be used in Europe because of it’s huge destructive power.Soviet distrust and suspicion were to be heightened by the development of the atomic bomb and made worse by the fact that Truman failed to inform Stalin of his decision to make use of the atomic bomb.Therefore, Stalin was more to blame for the origins and development of the Cold War in Europe.Another example where one can see the Soviet’s distrust of USA would be in the case USA’s possession of the atomic bomb.“Who was more to blame for the origins and development of the Cold War in Europe: Stalin or Truman?” .

Chandler is the prominent detective fiction writer who contributed to the further development of a genre while creating a range of crime stories.During the late part of the 19th century, Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes became the example of the perfect detective in Britain and in the USA.Focusing on the history of the mystery genre’s development in the USA, it is important to determine such periods as the second part of the 19th century when Edgar Allan Poe writes his first mystery stories, the period of the 1920s-1940s when the American writers develop a specific genre of the hardboiled mystery stories and unite in a specific organization of the Mystery Writers of America to protect their interests as authors.The Gutting of Couffig...

The logic being that if, for example, the USSR could defend itself from a counter-strike by the USA, thus throwing MAD out of the window, it would be more likely to attack the USA first.Whether one agrees that the USA should attack Iraq, or that it should be able to act internationally without fear of attacks on its mainland is irrelevant.An operational NMD system prevents the USA from being struck by an ICBM attack by a state against which the USA wishes to use military force.One main argument against the deployment of a NMD system by the USA is that it would increase weapons proliferation around the world, mostly by states who currently could strike at the USA, China and Russia, as these would see their deterrent force diminished.The U...
