The five most important wars of the 20th century: Cold War (1947-1991)

           The concept of "Cold War" refers to the long and open rivalry that faced United States and the Soviet Union and their respective allies after the Second World War. This conflict was the key to the global international relations for nearly half a century and book fronts in the political, economic and propagandistic, but only a very limited impact on the military front.

            The reason that the "cold war" did not become "hot" was the advent of nuclear weapons. Prior to the pump, the war was, as Clausewitz said, "a continuation of politics by other means, after Hiroshima, direct confrontation between the powers led to the general catastrophe.

           The growing nuclear arsenals that the superpowers were accumulating direct prevented a war that no one would have won. But the United States and the USSR and its allies used intimidation, propaganda, subversion, the war through local allies filed ...

           Initiated clearly and definitively in 1947, after a process of rapid deterioration in the relations between the former allies, the cold war was at its zenith in 1948-53. After various periods of détente and confrontation, the arrival of Gorbachev to power in the USSR unleashed a process that will culminate with the disintegration of the USSR in 1991. The cold war was over.

          Through this space, we have become witnesses of all these wars. We have seen why we are undertaking the crises that have damaged our humanity. Therefore, a crisis more harm if he would, if we would, if it could end up closing our humanity.Because "humanity" is not see millions of people, but to see people who feel as people, that they are pious of what exists in the world irrespective of anything; look, humanity is what is lost in each conflict of this magnitude.
