Thus, the plan was to deindustrialize Germany.US tried to negotiate with the USSR about Germany's future, but it hit a dead end. The Marshalls speech got translated into the Foreign Assistance Act of 1948 and passed into law with economic and technical support from the European countries.

In the United States Amicus Curiae Brief, Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (1954)­civil rights

, the united states seeming had got divisions following a series of wars and conflicts it had engaged with other countries. Leaders rose to huddle domestic and international roles, and the US supreme court borrowed from soviet propaganda mills in the period of judging a case involving Brown and Brown.

During a summit, the u-2 issue plane got resubmitted despite the agendas of the meeting being the status of Berlin and the manner to control the nuclear weapons. Khrushchev started complaining, and later US president; Eisenhower moved out of the meeting. That Indicates the existence of hostility between USS and the Soviets. The u-2 got referred to as the worst failure of President Eisenhower. In easing the cold war, the pilot Gary got his power released in exchange for the held Soviet spy, which led to more hostility between the US and the Soviets and developed more aircraft control between the two countries.

1960: In November, John F. Kennedy was elected President of the U.S.-foreign policy

The Cold War issue was prevalent during the campaigning period as Nixon rendered Kennedy an inexperienced foreign policy matters individual. In contrast, Kennedy referred to Nixon as a failed individual in foreign matters.

Kennedy had a one-on-one stance on the Soviet Union production of missiles and assured the people of revitalizing nuclear weapons and developing more plants. Furthermore, JF Kennedy criticized the former regime for establishing a government that had the support of the Soviets in Cuba. That intensified the cold war as US and Soviets embarked on missiles and nuclear power, further fuelling the cold war.

East and West Berlin got separated due to the closer of the gate. It was the early period of the cold war; this yielded the stoppage of the fleeing of Germans who were democratic from East to West.

President JF Kennedy came from a dynastic family, and his regime's commitment to focus on the cold war worsened the relationship with the Soviet Union.

Inauguration of  Jimmy Carter as 39th president of the united on 20th January 1977-Domestic policy

After the inauguration of Jimmy came the downfall of the US in terms of economic progress. The US experienced a high inflation rate, and jobs declined.

His resignation came after the Watergate scandal, where he faced impeachment charges. Attempts of the President to cover up the corruption failed, and the pressure from the press and public made him resign, and he left the white house.

1979: In June, SALT II signed foreign a policy

The SALT 11 agreement got signed between Carter and Brezhnev. It stated the need for equality between the US and Soviets regarding nuclear weapons production and reducing missiles and independent warheads. It is significant since the US Senate never ratified it after Russian troops attacked Afghanistan.

That led to a lack of proper control of weapons meaning cold war threats went on globally.

1985: Mikhail Gorbachev ascends to power in the Soviet Union-civil rights

Ascending to power gave the Soviet Union a new face as a developing democracy, and the economy got rebuilt. The need for open governance led to independent states that made people unhappy. Through the rise of Mikhail to power, the Soviet Union collapsed, and peace prevailed in the world.

Lithuania declared its independence on March 13, 1990.

1990: On May 29, Boris Yeltsin elected to the presidency of Russia-foreign policy

Boris assumed the office to succeed Mikhail. During his early term, he faced easy economic times. However, he faced rebellion due to challenges such as financial crises.
