Regional Conflicts in the Cold War Brief Constructed Response (BCR)

The Cold War was not an isolated event or a conflict simply between the United States and the U.S.S.R.; the Cold War enveloped many nations around the world. Both the United States and the U.S.S.R. were interested in controlling Asia. These Cold War contenders wanted to spread their respective economic ideologies and political structures as well, and, thereby spread their spheres of influence. This led to regional conflicts as part of the larger Cold War. Think about these examples as you complete the BCR below.
