This should allow one to reach an informed conclusion. In order to answer the first part of the question, this paper will now proceed to explain the causes and major events of the cold war according to the revisionist approach. In this, the focus must be on the revisionist approach first, and not the, to be discussed events. In the revisionist approach USA is seen as driving force of Cold War. The Soviet Union is seen defensive in its actions and its policies are argued to be a response to those of America (Lundestad, 2010:9).
During the 1950’s and 1960’s the Soviet Unions satellite states established the Brezhnev doctrine. The Brezhnev Doctrine was established because of the Soviet Union’s ability to maintain such governmental control over Eastern Europe. An intervention of such domestic affairs with military power provided the Soviet Union a unique Political power. Surprisingly by the 1970’s the Soviet Union and the United States of Americas formed a treaty agreement to reduce the nuclear missiles both possessed. Nuclear missiles were the reasons such turmoil was established between the Soviet Union and other nations.
The United States felt that it needed a role in Iran if the current regime failed. The arms deal gave them that role. They felt that they needed to stop the Soviet spread from getting to Iran. By providing them with arms, they would be able to harass the Soviet flanks if they invaded (Richelson, 419). The Soviets became aware of this and it became a large deterrent to keep them from
Hitler used secret police and hard handed tactics to establish his power, however, FDR used the power of patriotism to entice Americans in the war effort. He gave the “Four Freedoms speech” in which FDR shared his vision of what these troops would be fighting for: “We look to a world founded upon four essential freedoms. The first is freedom of speech and expression…The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way…The third is freedom from want (need)…The fourth is freedom from fear.” Hitler enacted a new form of warfare called the blitzkrieg, lightning war, which was a fast, concentrated air and land attack that took the enemy’s army by surprise. The Germans also used stuka, a dive-bombing airplane, to try to weaken the enemy before the tanks and troops moved in. FDR used a more traditional type of warfare.

The text is divided into three main sections. Part I gives examples to the status of the importance of the world in history and its need to have a nuclear arsenal. Part II explores the technical side of the nuclear arms race including introductions to major technical concepts and nuclear physics. Finally, Part III analyzes possible psychological and economic consequences of the nuclear arms race, and the means in which the worlds super powers created and implemented their defenses against possible nuclear
His nuclear deterrent foreign policy played a very large role in the Cold War, and is still effective today. Nuclear deterrent means if a country launches nuclear weapons against the United States, The United States would retaliate with its own nuclear strike (“Dwight D. Eisenhower” 304). In the end there would be no real winner, just total destruction. Eisenhower demonstrated this when he said “I would say a preventive war, if the words mean anything, is to wage some sort of quick police action in order that you might avoid a terrific cataclysm of destruction later.” (“Dwight D Eisenhower” 136). Knowing this, other countries will try to avoid total destruction instead of starting a nuclear war.
The Regan Doctrine: Past and Present This paper is here to examine the doctrine of President Ronald Reagan (1980-1988). Using multiple sources, the paper will show how the doctrine had a profound on the Cold War and the aftermath that would affect America‘s future.

The United States plays a dominant role in developing the military doctrine of NATO, and the change in the principal provisions of their military strategy inevitably affects the strategic concept of the bloc. The creation of NATO was a consequence of the Cold War, and therefore all its actions were aimed at confrontation with the Soviet Union and other communist countries that later united under the Warsaw
