The US and the Soviet Union were the Worlds two main superpowers. During this time they both
needed allies. Long story short, if you were a communist country the Soviets were your ally. If not, you

What is the difference between left and right wing? And why is it confusing?
The Left and Right wings are people with opposing political views. Left wingers are known as liberals.
They believe the people should have a bigger say in the government, they also feel that the government
should support the citizens more. Right wingers are known as conservatives. These types of right wing
governments are smaller. This means that a small amount of people make the decisions. Conservatives
disagree with the left wing view on helping citizens.
Neither form of government is better than the other.
