The ideological, political, and economic confrontation between the united states and the soviet union following world war ii was called

the Cold War.

Explanation:

The Cold War period was the result of the ideological, economic, and political breach that was created between the winners of World War II, mostly represented by the Soviet Union —the eastern bloc—  and the free market economy of the USA —the western bloc. This confrontation led these two nations to an arms race and a form of interventionist politics all around the world, with each nation claiming superiority and control over different key geopolitical areas of the world. Some of these confrontations carry consequences even to this day.

the assassination of president lincoln was just one part of a larger plot to decapitate the federal government of the u.s. after the civil war. the first reaction to lincoln’s death was disbelief. then it quickly changed to grief. abraham lincoln’s death created an outpouring of grief from citizens in both the north and the south.

explanation:

lincoln was the first u.s. president to be assassinated. president abraham lincoln, america’s civil war leader, was assassinated just five days after confederate general robert e. lee surrendered his army at appomattox court house, ending the four-year war between the states. on the evening of april 14, 1865, lincoln was attending a performance of our american cousin at ford’s theatre in washington, d.c. john wilkes booth – a 26-year old actor, confederate sympathizer, and white supremacist – slipped into the presidential box and shot lincoln in the head. john wilkes booth and his conspirators had initially planned to kidnap lincoln to save the confederate states. but as the confederacy faltered, booth’s thoughts turned to murder. booth may have decided to act on his hatred after lincoln endorsed giving the right to vote to african-american men who had served in the union army.
