The developement of the Cold War until the Cuba Crisis (1945 - 1962).
After the unconditional (bedingungslos) capitulation of Germany on may 8th 1945 the Cold War between the two power blocks USA and UdSSR started. The base of this argument was the different behaviour of dictatorship and democracy. Out of these two different ideologies problems came into existance which lead to mutual (gegenseitig) mistrust and caused higher animosity (Feindseligkeit). .
In the following time the beginning crisis won more seriousness - the mistrust of the two countries grew higher. It seemed, as if one wanted to mediate (vermitteln) misconception (Mißverstãndnis) instead of appreciation (Verstãndnis). Because there was no longer a common negotiation table, peace - keeping conditions between the USA and the SU weren't existing. This developement now produced a blockformation between East and West.
The years 1948 and 1949 brought more events, for example the blockade of Berlin and the air lift of the west allies. Some months later in 1949 the NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) was founded. At the latest point of time, the Soviet Union recognized that there wouldn't be a neutral Germany, so the DDR was founded. The armament race (Rustungswettlauf) had began and didn't stop, even after the death of Stalin in 1953.
The release (AuslÖser) of the Cuba Crisis (1959 - 1962).
Both countries made producing more and more nuclear weapons and station them as near as possible at the borders of enemy territory to their priority. The goal was to gain the capability (Fãhigkeit) of a nuclear premiere. For this, the USA stationed their nuclear weapons in Turkey and Germany. The Soviet Union which didn't own fewer nuclear weapons - because of the long lasting armament race got, concerning the geographical situation into compulsion (Zugzwang). They, too, needed a strategical important point to place their own missiles (Raketen).
