Good morning!

I'd like to know the interests of both USA and USSR during the Cold War?

What's the main reason that led to the the Cold War?

Why did America push the western countries to join its economy?

Please, I need an answer with details...

Thanks for reading and interesting.

lauralie kindly provided you with a link. She is kinder than I. Please remember, before posting further questions, the note at the top of this page "... this is a place to discuss language".

Strange! You're really strange but not bad! Anyway, thanks for comments.

Five is not strange at all, he is simply very gently reminding you that the purpose of this Forum is to discuss language, not to assist with homework assignments.To be brutally frank, your question about the Cold War could have been deleted by stricter moderators than me, since it wasn't language-related. I'm leaving it in place for the time being so that others may learn what is and is not appropriate question-wise in this Forum.

I'm sorry. I didn't think that asking such a question will bother some members here!

And I was gong to move it to the general discussions section, but now I won't.

Imagine you ran a forum dedicated to math, and I came there to ask whether I should wear a long dress or a short skirt to a fancy party. Would you think it belonged there?

I see! I'm sorry, you're right! cause my question was linked to America Civilization and this forum is for language, I don't know why did I asked such a question without realizing if does it link to the forum's target or not! Sorry again and thanks for warning me!

By the Banach–Tarski paradox, any two bounded subsets of 3-dimensional Euclidean space with non-empty interiors are equidecomposable. Therefore, bring a pair of scissors and go with a friend, with each of you wearing a different outfit. When you arrive at the party, you can cut up one outfit and reassemble it into two identical outfits appropriate to the party.

Caution: this solution is somewhat inelegant, as it is not generally socially optimal for distinct females to wear identical outfits.

You'd have to be mighty skillful in scissoring to carry out the Banach-Tarski decomposition! :shock:

Uh, I'm wearing a long, dark red velvet dress, but it has a lot of cleavage so it's not too frumpy, and seamed black stockings. Anyone who comes near me with scissors better watch out.

I'm betting no one will address you as "sir" or "mister" now! :-D
