PRESENTATION OUTLINE
The Cold War was the result of the rising tensions between the United States and Russia because they could not agree on how to rebuild Germany after WWII. A military battle never came to fruition, so the "heat" of gunfire never came into play. Instead, the war was fought with "Cold" political maneuvering and other measures.

According to Karl Marx, Capitalism is a system where a small group of people own large amount of resources, putting all the economy in the hands of wealthy people. Communism system is where all the resources are owned by the state and it determines the distribution of the resources based on the needs in order to bring about equality.

For the first thirty years after WW II the policy of containment worked. Only three countries fell to the Communists, China, North Vietnam, and Cuba. The conflicts that erupted were contained to small regions of the world, and even intense confrontations like Korea and Vietnam were local, not regional or world wide events. Containment was a vital part of the American policy of the Cold War, and kept a lid on world peace for the first half or two thirds of the time.

The Kitchen Debate was a series of exchanges between then U.S. Vice President Richard Nixon and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev on July 24, 1959. For the exhibition, an entire house was built that the American exhibitors claimed anyone in America could afford. It was filled with labor-saving and recreational devices meant to represent the fruits of the capitalist American consumer market.
