Conclusion Cold War Tactics of the United States and Soviet Union Both countries attempted to influence new governments formerly occupied by Axis powers. Both tried to establish military alliances against the other. Each side saw their conflict coming from irreconcilable differences in social and economic systems. Each also emphasized the corruption, injustice, and unfairness of the other. Real combat between the United States and the Soviet Union did not materialize, but it was played out in distant civil wars and regional conflicts, with support provided by the superpowers.

Conclusion Cold War Era Nationalism Nationalism played a major role after World War II in the desire of colonized peoples to gain independence, obscuring the contest between the main opponents of the Cold War. Some long-time colonial peoples such as India gained their independence, while similar sentiments in China led to the overthrow of an elite government seen as weak in relations with western powers. Many of the independence movements in Africa, the Middle East, and the Caribbean operated as traditional struggles for sovereignty. In Latin America, where nations had already achieved independence, the desire was for economic independence and an end to foreign intervention. Independence movements in Korea and Vietnam arose at the end of Japanese control. The Soviet Union and communist China supported communist forces in those regions, while the United States committed large military forces to protect anticommunist forces.
