Orwell coined the term "Cold War". COLD WAR, WARM WAR Toward the
end of the 1980s Communism was declared "dead" and the Cold War
"over". During WWII the Communists in Russia and China gained
alot of new ground. This was in large part due to the fact that
the Free World helped them. The main way we helped was by
supplying weapons to Russia & China and fighting their enemies
for them, ie Germany and Japan. After the war, when it came time
to divide up the spoils, the Russians got several European
nations (including Poland which the UK had gone into the war to
save from being taken-over). In China we "allies" helped the
Communists win their civil war and then dropped a bomb on Japan,
whose territories were then divided amongst ourselves, with Red
China doing quite well in the bargain. The Communists had thus
expanded their borders far beyond their wildest dreams! And
America and England (Oceania) had helped them do it. We'd helped
create the tyrannies of Eurasia and Eastasia! But the Communists
weren't very grat
