I became overwhelmed with information and decided to use the Auraria library searches to find some articles that would help me get a better understanding of the topic.  I read a few journals that all focused on the United States and Soviet Union relationship.  After World War II the United States entered an ideological conflict with the Soviet Union that came to be known as the Cold War.  The Cold War dominated United State's foreign policy from the end of World War II to the late 80s.  United States sought to promote capitalism while the Soviet Union were devoted to communism.  Eventually capitalism prevailed with the Soviet Union collapse and now relations with Russia, formerly Soviet Union have improved.  The Cold War had a huge impact on the United State's foreign policy.  What sort of policies did the U.S. adopt to spread capitalism?  Were they to encourage free trade and did they help the developing nations?  I'm more interested in the developing countries in the world that aren't always included in discussions.  I'd like to focus on the United State's policies with developing countries.
