How did the Cold War shape the politics, economy, society and culture of the United States. In a clearly written 8-11 sentence paragraph with details and facts to support your reasoning, answer the following prompt.

The development of the military-industrial complex after World War II and its continued accumulation in reaction to questions regarding the military prowess of the Soviet Union became part of the influence of the Cold War. This has resulted in dramatic amounts of technical advancement, contributing to massive increases in GDP.

Competition with the Soviet Union has resulted in unparalleled levels of expenditure in education, especially in mathematics and science. The mixture of returned veterans attending university under the GI Bill and recent STEM education investments reacting to the "Sputnik moment" led to the creation of a very highly trained population in the United States.

Cold War hysteria led to McCarthyism, which was a major attack on civil liberties. In an imperialistic attempt to fight Soviet power internationally, it also contributed to interference in the affairs of several other nations. The increase in participation in foreign wars and environmentally damaging factories contributed to the creation of protest campaigns protesting foreign wars and seeking environmental regulation increased.

explanation:

the vast majority of ballots have been counted nearly two weeks after one of the biggest political upsets in modern u.s. history catapulted donald trump to the presidency.

estimates show more than 58 percent of eligible voters went to the polls during the 2016 election, nearly breaking even with the turnout rate set during the last presidential election in 2012, even as the final tallies in states like california continue to be calculated, according to statistics collected by the u.s. elections project.

but among those figures were stark contrasts in key states that swing the election to trump — in ohio, wisconsin, iowa, michigan and elsewhere — indicating the president-elect’s leap from long-shot candidate to the most powerful political position in the world may have happened in part because of apathy toward hillary clinton’s candidacy, especially among the democratic base, several political scientists and organizations monitoring voter turnout told the pbs newshour.

while clinton is leading the popular vote by more than 1.5 million over trump as of sunday, she trails president obama’s 2012 totals by more than 2 million ballots — a chasm that may have cost her the election, said david becker, co-founder of the center for election and innovation and research.

“several million voters didn’t come out to vote,” becker said. “which is telling me that this idea of the trump wave, a huge number of voters shifting over to trump, is certainly not the story.”
