Why was the hot line installed?
The 'hot line,' a phone between the US and USSR, was installed because during the war communication was important to avoid nuclear war. The 'hot line' ensured neither country would misunderstand a message.
Arenas of the cold war?
These are the areas where the two blocs i.e. USSR and USA were in direct conflict but it did not result in 'hot' war or 'shooting war.
Conflict between which countries brought the cold war to the middle east soon after wwii?
There are numerous culprits here. The US and USSR attempted to influence the oil producing nations. The conflicts involving Israel brought the risk of a hot war involving the super powers close.
Why is the era after World War 2 called the Cold War?
It is a period post WWII in which the United States and the CCCP (USSR) were in a large-scale arms race similar to the likeness which led to WWI. The US and USSR in-directly fought each other which gives the name "Cold" in that neither actually experienced full out war between each other. The two mainly participated in several hot wars in which they aided nations which fought against each other. Despite the fact that soviet pilots flew for foreigh nations against US pilots, the two countries never officially delcared war.
Why did the US and Russia become enemies after World War 2?
The US was distrustful of the USSR and their leader Josef Stalin after the war because he refused to allow certain agreementsto be carried out. While there is considerable disagreement over who is at fault, even to this day, their is no question that President Franklin D. Roosevelt felt he had a different understanding of what the USSR would live up to than did the USSR at the end of the war in Europe, in April, 1945. For example, the US had thought Poland was to have free elections, but the USSR refused to allow this. As a result of this and many other disagreements involving many of the eastern Euroopean countries (Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Germany...which was split into East and West Germany, Czechoslovakia and others)...the US and USSR entered into what became known as the Cold War. Meaning it was a war of words and not weapons...so cold not hot.
