Document Summary
1946 after wwii ended, us and soviet union had occupation forced in iran during wwii. Us and soviets had a confrontation in iran over iran in 1946. Early years of cold war, whenever the was a confrontation between the us and soviets, Soviets withdrew, it also did not support the rebels in greece or chinese communists, and how stalin ended the berlin blockade. Us is going to start a lot of activity in the third world under the guidelines of the cold war. Us can justify sending military aid and weapons to reactionary violent governments because they say they are protecting democracy. Once you make the claim that someone is communist, they can do whatever they want. If you"re willing to open your country up to america"s economic propositions, you"re a democracy. At the time it shared a border with the soviet union, iraq is on other border.
