Question: What if there wasn't The Cold War!?
what would the world be like in America with out the Cold War!? Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
id say a lot of technologies would never have been neccesary!.

Nuclear weapons probably would not have gone past the Atomic Bomb

But to say no cold war would have to say what if Russia didnt crush Berlin!.

The day the war ended, the cold war began!.

so we have to look at this from 4-5 angles

1!. Hitler is defeated by the allies and Russia stops at the european border!. Russia never takes Poland, Berlin, or any of the other eastern countries!. Ok, that would mean no iron curtain, no real distrust with the Russians!.

2!. The Nuclear weapon never goes beyond the Atomic bombs used on Japan!. That was a huge part of the reason it was a cold war!. Some say it really wasnt that Cold till 1961 when Russia developed its sub launched missiles, and began pushing towards cuba and such!.

3!. Technology probably wouldnt have been advanced as much!. Maybe not even the moon!. Imagine if Von Brown had not been captured by the Russians and then handed over to the Allies where he gave his rockets designs to!. We built missiles and rockets off his engine designs!.


Id say theres a lot that might not have ever happened!.

We would not have wasted dollars and lives in a state of perpetual war readiness!. The money could have been better spent in improving people's lives around the world instead of building more missiles and bombs!.

"Every gun that is fired, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed!. The world under arms is not spending money alone!. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, and the hopes of its children!."

Many people (defence contractors) would not have gotten rich and many regular middle-class people would have been out of work!.

But don't worry because the sequel has begun and it may get much hotter!. Lately I have been hearing people talk about how little known Sarajevo was before an Austrian Royal was assassinated there!.!.!.!.how many people had heard of South Ossetia before a couple weeks ago!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Many of the cool technologies we enjoy today would never have been developed!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
