Although the cold war sometimes became (cid:498)hot(cid:499) and involved in bloodshed (cid:523)as it did in korea(cid:524) the united states and the soviet union never actually declared war on each other. France, britain, and the us also had talks to merge their sections of germany into one country: the truman doctrine: identify- policy for dealing with communism. This was done by, supporting anti-communist movements around the world in attempt to hinder soviet influence.
