Definition of Crisis

In this section, I will be talking about the 4 main crises of the Cold War. First of all, I will start out by defining what a crisis is.

Crisis
–noun
a stage in a sequence of events at which the trend of all future events, esp. for better or for worse, is determined; turning point.
(from dictionary.com)

As mentioned in my earlier post, I will be covering 4 main crises of the Cold War, each of which could have possibly ended in the eruption of a full-scale war, or even a nuclear war between USA and USSR.

First of all, I will start with the Berlin Blockade.
