Synopsis
With WWII at an end, the world soon faced a new challenge widely known as the Cold War. In 24 episodes, this series chronicles this war of ideologies, from its inception in the late '40s until the dissolution of the U.S.S.R. some 40 years later. With Europe and Japan absorbed in rebuilding their cities and economies, the United States and the Soviet Union emerged as the world's superpowers and standard bearers for incompatible political philosophies. Capitalism or Communism: The line was drawn in the sand. The subject of this episode is the conflict in Korea. As the Soviet-backed communist troops from North Korea invaded the southern part of the country, America and U.N. forces repelled the attacks and forced North Korean troops back. The program also shows how the new communist regime in China joined the affray as a Soviet ally, leading to a stalemate and an uneasy truce.
