How to explain that the Cold War is rather geographical than ideological?
Q. It is true that Cold War is about ideologies,,but geography also played an important role. Can anybody describe the importance of geography in the Cold War?

A. geographically speaking all enemy territory for both sides was within range of the new ICBM's which could launch over 3000miles and hit. the reality of nuclear war due to the mass number of nukes and range of these missles made the "war" geographically important. but it was mostly ideological and economical.

During the cold war were the eastern bloc countries behind the iron curtain had no communication to West?
Q. I'm doing an essay on the Cold War and my history book doesn't tell the specifics on the iron curtain. Could you help me out? Please don't guess!! I need my essay to be accurate!
Asked by Alex - Wed Jun 3 00:06:15 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. People could write and telephone relatives in the west at any time although the mail was often "censored" on both sides of the "iron curtain". There also was travel each way although it was more difficult to obtain exit visa from "socialist" countries and some 'western nations" had restrictions on their citizens travelling to socialist countries. Until around 1970 it was banned for Australians to travel to socialist countries and it was January 1973 when a ban on Australians travelling to (North) Vietnam was lifted. I have one general ban in my first passport and the Vietnam ban in my second passport, which I had changed after the ban was lifted.

Asked by Brad - Sun Sep 21 18:16:26 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Probably the key element is NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It used collective security for its members to stall any kind of Communist aggression in Western Europe. Western Europe would be America's first line of defense for any invasion from the Communist East. A prosperous, peaceful Western Europe kept this line of defense viable. One initial action taken to bolster Western Europe was the Marshall Plan, a bold plan to rebuild industry and free governments in that area.

In order to initiate such an attack, Soviet naval procedures stated that the captain and two other officers must concur. The other officer on duty agreed to the launch, but Arkhipov conviced the captain to wait for instructions from Moscow before proceeding. Moscow ordered them to stand down.
