This is the first time i have used a history forum but i assume there are post all the time about help with assignments...sorry but here's another:

I need to know who are the 21st Century antagonists as opposed to the Cold War superpowers??? (actual question below) So far i'm thinking North Korea, Israel/Palaestine and genreal Arab nations.

Any suggestions for how to approach the question would be greatly appreciated!!! Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

Topic: The Period since 1945 has been largely dominated by the conflict of the two superpowers. This has left the world largely unprepared for a thaw in Russo-American relations and the emergence of a different antagonist in the 21st Century. Discuss this statement in the light of the Cold War and its end.

With the end of the Cold War, conventional warfare is now obselete.

The US is the only remaining superpower--constituting a Unipolar World in place of the Bipolar World, which characterized the Cold War era.

Since no country can challenge the US, asymmetrical warfare has replaced conventional warfare.

Terrorism is the new Cold War. In a manner of speaking.

I'm glad, dear. Good luck.

I would like to say that US/Israel relations are a large reason the US is having so much trouble with terrorists. If you google Letter from Bin Laden, you will see that he says one of the main things he has against the US is the fact we help Israel.

People have many different opinions about this.
