The period of tension began in 1946 and lasted until the 1990s. There was a struggle between the democratic capitalist West and the communist Soviet bloc of nations. In 1950, there was a division by Iron Curtain and China was ruled by a communist government. There was serious conflict between the different sides. US policy aimed to contain communism spreading from nation to nation. By keeping America a place ruled by capitalism, there is no room nor need for communism. American interest in Vietnam with the spread of Chinese communism halted. This halt proved the separation of the different beliefs. Effects of the war are still in our world today. Mālama Honua shows Socialism because they are a social group advocating for what they believe in. It goes against the communism aspect of the United States and money.

By standing up for our native land and mauna, this shows how sometimes we are just greater than authority sometimes.
