Communist and Capitalism
There are two different types of politic system one is Capitalism and the other is Communism.
Capitalism is the politic system that allows people to have freedom of speech, the vote and many other points. This means that the government dos not control the newspaper or the business. An example of Capitalism would be the country of USA.
Communism is the total different political system. The USSR was a Communism country meaning that the people there were not allowed the freedom of speech and had only one political party were as the Capitalism had severely. The government ran this lead to the newspaper and the business.
What was the cold war
The cold war was the relationship between the USA and the Soviet Union in 1945-1080. But they never fought again each other if they did then the consequences would be to appalling however they did fight for there beliefs. For example in the south Vietnam there were anticommunist and the USA supplied them during the war mean while the north of Vietnam was a pro-communist and fought the south using weapons from Russia
The Domino Theory.

At the time Vietnam was a communist country this is represented in this cartoon by a Domino benign pushed over by a Vietcong but if Vietnam is pushed over then the next two would fall over meaning that they would turn Communist too. As you can see there is a arm man stood at the other side of the cartoon trying to hold up the other side of the Domino pact. Stopping the other countries from turning to a Communist.
