The Global Cold War
In his book, Westad argues that the cold war rooted from the intervention of both U.S and the Soviet Union in the Third World countries. The book is essential important as it allows the reader understands that the modern international conflicts rooted the Cold War between the two superpowers, that is, the U.S and the Soviet Union. There was a conflict that existed in the Third World countries due to democracy, economy, and minorities among other issues. These conflicts gave the two superpowers an opportunity to enter in the Third World countries where the U.S focused on implementing liberty while the Society Union wanted to create an ‘empire justice’. Both superpowers struggled for dominance and they did not use military or any strategy for the battle, but they used their political and social powers. It is true that the cold war occurred at varying times in that in 19th century, the U.S policy ideology was based on liberty and interests. During the Cold War, U.S -presented teleological functions and focused on spreading the U.S policy worldwide as well as territorial expansion. During the war, it was driven by the interventionist power and the idea of liberty for its citizens. Liberty made the U.S exist as a separate State and nations that were not enlightened were excluded. In 1945, U.S created a postwar agenda to remake the world and more impartially, rebuild the economy and security and combat Communism. To achieve the mission, the strategy that was used was based on restructuring Japan that started by creating the New Deal programs for the social development. Note that even though the initially the battle field for the Cold War was in Europe; the two superpowers created intervention and developed conflict in the Third World.
