How was the modern world changed/effected by the Cold War?
lots of death occurred, mainly in third world countries that were trying to overthrow their governments and be communists.



EG - Vietnam, Korea, Indonesia, Ghana, Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia.



Red scare of the 1950's.



Communism was supported by USSR and China, any rebel group trying to overthrow their government and instate a communist party was supported with weapons and financial aid from these two countries.
