During the World War II, both the U.S. and the Soviet Union battled together in
opposition to the Axis Supremacy nations. Nevertheless, there was a tense relationship between
them. For long, American citizens were worried about the Soviet Union and its leader Joseph
Stalin who administered a bloodthirsty rule in his country
. Soviets disliked the idea of
Americans' decade-long rejection to consider the Soviet Union as a genuine part of the global
society. The delayed time of Russia to enter the world war amounted to deaths of many people in
the country. At the end of the world war II, all these grievances resulted to mutual disbelieve and
hostility between the two nations and hence resulting in the Cold War
.
Some of the astonishing facts about the Cold War are that its conflict architects gripped
the globe for almost five decades. The Cold War began immediately after the World War II,
between 1945 and 1989. Its shape was caused by men and few women cold warriors. These
soldiers instituted Cold War set ups, changed the diplomacy that revolved around them and
managed all military flare-ups and ambassadorial obstacles at the time
. It is also astonishing that
the cold warriors supplied the military's violent rhetoric and its silent surveillance. In America,
the cold warriors were well educated, but in the revolutionary societies, the well-educated class
had no place in the cold war. They emerged from humble backgrounds, and some claimed they
did if even they did not. Most of the warriors were people of power and had great control of
military and economy. They were serious people who had political and economic affluence in
the society
