SUBJECT: The Cold War (CONTINUED) 1945-1963
"We walked to the brink and we looked it in the face..."
John Foster Dulles
Secretary of State
BRINKMANSHIP...Secretary of State
The practice of pushing a diplomatic situation to the very "brink" of disaster (even war) to force your opponent to agree to your position or belief.
Dangerous? Maybe.
But it worked.
The Cold War was a dangerous time - and yet a time of great achievement (landing on the moon, for instance), in technology (telecommunications, electronics, power, even the computer), as well as prosperity (during the Reagan years). We will continue our discussion on the Cold War era and the events that corresponded.
