What were the Cold War "hot spots" of the 1950s?The Cold War

There were hot spots all over the place in the Cold War of
the 1950s.


Perhaps the most obvious hot spot was in Asia. 
The decade of the 1950s started off with the Korean War from 1950-3.  This was very much
a Cold War conflict as it involved a communist country trying to invade a non-communist
one.  There was also the beginning of the conflict in Vietnam, with the communists
ousting the French in 1954.


There were also hot spots in
the Middle East.  The US helped to overthrow the government of Iran in the 1950s.  There
was a major crisis in the Suez in 1956.  Both of these were linked to the Cold War as
well.


These are probably the two hottest spots, but there
was conflict in practically every corner of the globe in the
'50s.

Can (sec x - cosec x) / (tan x - cot x) be simplified further?

Given the expression ( sec x - csec x ) / (tan x - cot x) We need to simplify. We will use trigonometric identities ...
