Editing Cold War overview

Causes of the Cold War:

I should point out that this tank wasn't just used aiangst the Bolschevik Red Army.  It was first used to destroy the independent West Ukrainian People's Republic, which was incorporated into the Polish state until 1941.  In 1919 Poland undertook a major territorial expansion eastward, supported by western nations.
