After World War II, came the Cold War, which was a state of political hostility between countries using means short of armed warfare. The USA and USSR, used to be allies but became enemies because of different government beliefs. As the USSR started to believe in communism, the USA began a new foreign policy called containment that President Truman wanted. The spread of communism started in China into North Korea, which started the war with South Korea. America feared the spread of communism. It was called the Cold War because the nations never directly had a physical fight.
this was a good summary of all the big events that happened between World War II and the Cold War and some of the events that happened in the Cold war that lead to the Korean War. Good Job!!
