Abstract

After the defeat of the Axis powers in World war II, two super powers remained in the world: the United States and the Soviet Union. These two nations had very different views about the world and their political regimes were polar opposites. During the beginning of the cold war, which lasted until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the United States was viewed as the leader of the free world. The US had just defeated fascism in World war II and had begun to undertake the fight against communism. The US government received unprecedented support from both its citizens and leaders around the world in its struggle against communism.
