MEDAL :) Which of the following is a reflection of the goals of the United States during the Cold War? A. persuade countries to govern democratically B. policy of containment C. maintain a strong and stable Western Europe D. continuation of the arms race E. all of the above
what you guess about the answer here...?
I would say A.
e.
Well, the Soviet Union was afraid of us and our recent accomplishments with the Atom Bomb, and wanted to even the playing field by obtaining the Atom Bomb technology any way they could, sort of like Iran and North Korea today. They could then become an international power player like the United States was just by having 'the bomb.' This led to the cold war, in which each side distrusted the other, and spent billions and billions trying to outdo each other by building their armies and arsenals bigger than the others.... so I would say ,D.
It is all of the above.
