Capitalism, Communism & the Domino Theory
Capitalism and Communism
Capitalism is every man for themselve and all the money that they made they kept for themselves and do not go to people who have no money to make everyone equal. This is the reason why the Cold war started because the USA wanted to stop communism from spreading and people sharing out htere money.
Communism is mostly associated with the USSR because they believe that if they make money or a profit it should be shared out equally to makr it an equal nation which is why America invaded because they didnt want communism to spread and the USSR to become powerful and become a bigger power than the USA.
The Cold war was a war which never had a winning team because a cold war is a war which is a stalemate. A hot war is a war that has a clar winner. The USA ended up withdrawing from the coldwar because of the stalemate.
The domino effect is where if Russia are a communist country then other countries will follow along causing the domino effect which will make russia the major power in the world which the USA did not want to happen. The USA were scared of the world becoming communist because Russia were a big power already and had the biggest country in the world.
"Finally, you have the broader considerations of what might follow what you would call the 'falling domino' principle. You have a row of dominoes set up, you knock over the first one, and what will happen to the last one is the certainty that it will go over very quickly. So you could have the beginning of a disintegration that would have the most profound influences."
This quote is from president dwight eisenhower on communism.
