1) Harry Truman basically started the cold war with "the Truman Doctrine" which led to the Korean "conflict" and the Vietnam non-declared war. This doctrine led indirectly to the treasonous Iran-Contra war in central America in the 1980's.
2) The Contras or Counter-Revolutionaries fought to overthrow (with illegal US aid look up Iran-Contra) the communist government of the Sandinista.
3) Senator Joe McCarthy headed the House Un-American Activities Council in the 1950's and conducted communist "witch hunts" in virtually every industry in the US.
4) Mao Tse Tung led the Chinese communist revolution in 1948...with major help from the CIA and British MI6.
5) Michael Gorbachev "sold" nuclear weapons to all of the former Soviet republics such as Ukraine, Belarus etc.
I mention CIA involvement and illegal US activities in the hopes you will do some research outside of the packaged version you get at school.
