Korean War, 1950

I am not that sure of any domestic events that took place :)

Answer 2

1- The war between the Koreas in 1950 was the only military confrontation during the Cold War. The US supported South Korea and implemented a military base in the country.

2- The man's arrival on the Moon in 1969, representing a US victory in space war with the USSR.

3- The Vietnam War, between the capitalist south and the communist north. This war was damaging to the US with many deaths, costs and little efficiency.

4- The arms race, the two poles representing capitalism, USA and socialism, USSR, had a huge arsenal of war. But one of the two powers had to become sovereign because of the great power it held. So they started an arms race, with the construction of machines of mass destruction.

5 - The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, which represents the end of the Cold War and the triumph of US-led capitalism.
