The FBI had a significant impact on the Cold War
= **Overview** = ==== The cold war was a significant war because it included America vs The Soviet Union. It was an indirect war that was not fought between each other but instead these countries were allies of other countries. This was a rival between two countries that stretched as far back as 1917. It was mainly a fight to move the Soviets away from Communism and to not allow Stalin to take over other countries to be his Satellite nations. Americans did all they could to stop Stalin's push of communism. Including entering the Korean war to prevent the Pro-communist North Korea take over South Korea. The United States were successful and all the countries that were controlled by communism now had democratically-elected governments. ====

Where as the CIA is an international intelligence agency. The FBI is for crimes, and the CIA is gathering information. The FBI has more responsibilities than the CIA making them different in that retrospect. The CIA has to cooperate with other international agnecies and has to find ways to gather equipment for a job internationally making it harder for the CIA in that area.
