The Cold War: Current Tensions And 'Golden Age'
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. One can be more than somewhat certain that as the world continues to spin and humanity continues to clash, there will always be global confrontation in one form or another. The Cold War represented such a time that many believed the end of the world had arrived; had it not been for the success of Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative, that may very well have been the case. Now that that episode is past, a newer and perhaps more challenging struggle has emerged in the form of political terrorism. The writer also discusses whether or not the Cold War era might be considered a stable 'golden age.' Bibliography lists 12 sources.

The Cold War: Viewpoint
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Ascertaining the reasons behind the revived hostility that instigated the Cold War, historians have come to acknowledge the presence of Russian suspicions and American paranoia as fundamental motives. Delving deeper into these particular considerations finds that the Russians were, in fact, a nation of insecure people trying to assert their political independence. It can be argued that insecurity has been "one fundamental factor affecting Soviet policy" (Brothers, 1996) since the beginnings of the Muscovite State. In exchange, the Americans were guilty of accusing Soviet power as being "impervious to logic of reason, and highly sensitive to logic of force" (Brothers, 1996), an allegation that is not only confirmed by Cold War occurrences but also by historical considerations, as well. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

The Cuban Missile Crisis: Jupiter’s Role
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page paper discussing the usefulness of the Jupiter missile in ending the Cuban Missile Crisis. The Jupiter missile superficially appears to have a brief history, but it has been influential in several US initiatives. It was removed from service in 1964, but the lessons learned from it contributed significantly to the development of the US space program. It was a symbol of US presence in Italy and Turkey, as well as reflecting the cooperation of those governments with the US military at the time. Ultimately, it assumed a leading role in ending the stalemate between the US and the former USSR over what would happen in Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. Bibliography lists 23 sources.
