The world was clearly divided into two camps in extreme contrast to each other. One camp was the liberalism of the capitalists, supported by the United States and the Western nations. The other was Communism, led by the Soviet Union, which advocated creating conflict with the Free World. These were favorable conditions for the Communist Soviet Union to expand and industrialize its countries. They reached the rank of international superpower, and were able to fight for supremacy against the United States.

In the Second World War, the United States and the Communist Soviet Union shook hands with the same intention of exterminating Hitler (Nazism). Once German Nazism was dramatically defeated, the United States realized the invasion of the Communist Soviet Union into the Eastern European nations The USSR’s[39] troops occupied them and established administrations with the Communist pattern. The US recognized the USSR as a creator of enemies, and therefore that the future peace of the US and its Alliance should not be neglected.

Karl Marx, the first ancestor of Communism, interpreted Darwin’s doctrine of the “two camps” world, based on “the struggle for existence.” It was applied by the Russian Communists to the “class struggle” of the mid-20th century, which prepared the way for a Third World War (a Nuclear World War), which could exterminate all life on earth. It was this kind of “two camps” world, liberalism and Communism, that competed to produce nuclear weapons, preparing a chess position that threatened to put the world into the turning point of doomsday.

After the Geneva Convention, from 1954 to 1975, many upheavals accumulatively occurred in Vietnam. The world’s situation became serious with the rupture in 1956 between two superpowers, the Communist Soviet Union and Communist China. This rupture became greater and greater, creating such a dangerous separation that they were about to kill each other by pushing the nuclear buttons! These events made great impacts on Vietnam.

During the period of 1968–1972, taking advant­­age of the separation between the two Communist elders, the Soviet Union and China, the United States entered into collaboration with Communist China to deal with the Soviet Union, making both sides’ nuclear weapons hang over humankind’s heads!

Even more seriously, after three years from 1972 to 1975, the United States firmly consolidated its relationship with Communist China, and allied the Western European nations and Japan in a whole-world strategy. It was able to besiege the Communist Soviet Union, making the Soviet Union vigorously develop their nuclear-missile-equipped atomic submarines. By that time, everyone with a certain understanding believed that the Third World War was coming; atomic weapons would exterminate all lives in this globe. Not only humankind, but also other species would not survive.

The methods for producing nuclear-warhead-equipped missiles and atomic bombs are not an absolute secret today. What a catastrophe!

 In April 1987, the New Jersey US Infantry Academy, studying strategic matters, declared that many nations were already in possession of atomic weapons. These nations included the United States, England, France, Russia, China, India, West Germany, Japan, Taiwan, and South Africa. There are other countries that will also have atomic weapons in the future, totaling 23 nations in the world that have had, or will have atomic weapons (at the time of this writing). Is that the world approaching doomsday?
