U.S.A Role in the Cold War

The United States role in the cold war was... the political role in the post-World War II world: by 1989 the US held military alliances with 50 countries, and had 1.5 million troops posted abroad in 117 countries.The Cold War also institutionalized a global commitment to huge, permanent peacetime and large-scale military funding. The United States kept fighting back on the attacks. America had been engaged in a very costly war in terms of dollars as well as lives. But, despite the expense the United States came out of World War II better than any other nation that was involved.
