What is the Geographic Location of the cold war?

There was no geographic location, because there was no war. The cold war was a military stand off between the communist world and the free world. No one shot at one another. Red and Free submarines chased each other around the globe (around the world). Red and Free aircraft followed each other (shadowed each other) all over the world. Satellites spied on each other and spy planes (U-2 & SR71) took photos over each other. Geographic location? World wide (to include the North Pole and South Pole).


How did Germany's location contribute to its defeat?

Germany's central location in Europe made it vulnerable to multiple fronts during World War I and World War II. In both conflicts, it faced attacks from numerous neighboring countries, which stretched its military resources thin. Additionally, the lack of natural barriers made it easier for Allied forces to launch coordinated offensives. This geographical disadvantage, combined with strategic miscalculations, ultimately contributed to Germany's defeat.
