CAN YOU READ MY ESSAY AND TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO DO TO REVICE IT? (NO LINKS PLS) From Freezing to Globalizing (The Cold War, and Globalization) What is The Cold War, and Globalization? Why are they so important? How did they shape the world we live in today? In 1945, World War II ended. This meant different things to different areas of the world. In Europe, the war left deep scars that did not heal easily, especially when it came to its economy. In the United States, 1945 was the beginning of an economic boom, as the US was able to take advantage of the markets not covered by Europe, while at the same time increasing production to help with the rebuilding of the continent. Another power that became stronger after the end of the war was the Soviet Union. The years that followed WWII are known as the Cold War, as the United States and the Soviet Union fought for control of other countries. Their opposite ideals of (capitalism vs. communism) led to a Brobdingnagian conflict. Ultimately, the Cold War diminished in importance during the 1980s and 1990s, as the Soviet Union adopted more capitalist measures. Eventually, the Union would break up and collapse resulting in the creation of Russia and several other countries. Leaving The United as the worlds only superpower. The years following the end of the Soviet Union saw a congenital transformation of communication technology, mostly due to the internet. The creation of the internet and the popularity of new technological devices such as (computers, cell phones, etc.) led to a nonpareil phenomenon known as globalization. Globalization allowed us to be in closer contact with the rest of the world, a process that continues to this day. This is how globalization and The Cold War shaped the world. These two unexpected events have changed the world into the world we see today and into the world, we'll see tomorrow.
