In  the  20th Century  alone,  more  than  300  million  people  died  of Smallpox.  Only  by  1980,  as  the  effort  of global smallpox eradication succeeded, humans were not suffering from it anymore.<\/p>\n<p>This map briefly visualizes how two competing superpowers during the cold war, the US and USSR, could support the World Health Organization to initiate and implement the Smallpox Eradication Program globally. The map shows the power distribution during the cold war, color-coded  with  blue  and  red.  Arrows  indicate  the  main  breakthrough  in  the  process  of  seeking international collaboration. From the eradication proposal presented by Zhdanov in 1958, it took another  seven  more  years  for  the  US  to  officially  announced  their  support  in  the  Smallpox Eradication  Program  and  another  two  years  to  agree  to  provide  any  resources  for  the  program. With  the  US  providing  funds  and  the  USSR  providing  smallpox  vaccines&#8217;  mass  production, Smallpox could finally be eradicated globally in 1980. <\/p>\n<p>It was a process full of obstacles. However, with international collaboration between two superpowers, even during a highly competitive era, people living in the current time could stop worrying about Smallpox&#8217;s deadly disease.<\/p>\n"},"caption":{"rendered":"<p>Creator: Yuan Shang &#8217;21 Health, Behavior &#038; Society and Brain &#038; CognitiveScience<\/p>\n"},"alt_text":"","media_type":"image","mime_type":"image\/png","media_details":{"width":1378,"height":869,"file":"2021\/05\/Screen-Shot-2021-05-13-at-10.00.02.png","sizes":{"medium":{"file":"Screen-Shot-2021-05-13-at-10.00.02-300x189.png","width":300,"height":189,"mime_type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/zhang.digitalscholar.rochester.edu\/mapping\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Screen-Shot-2021-05-13-at-10.00.02-300x189.png"},"large":{"file":"Screen-Shot-2021-05-13-at-10.00.02-1024x646.png","width":1024,"height":646,"mime_type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/zhang.digitalscholar.rochester.edu\/mapping\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Screen-Shot-2021-05-13-at-10.00.02-1024x646.png"},"thumbnail":{"file":"Screen-Shot-2021-05-13-at-10.00.02-150x150.png","width":150,"height":150,"mime_type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/zhang.digitalscholar.rochester.edu\/mapping\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Screen-Shot-2021-05-13-at-10.00.02-150x150.png"},"medium_large":{"file":"Screen-Shot-2021-05-13-at-10.00.02-768x484.png","width":768,"height":484,"mime_type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/zhang.digitalscholar.rochester.edu\/mapping\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Screen-Shot-2021-05-13-at-10.00.02-768x484.png"},"vw-portfolio-homepage-thumb":{"file":"Screen-Shot-2021-05-13-at-10.00.02-240x145.png","width":240,"height":145,"mime_type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/zhang.digitalscholar.rochester.edu\/mapping\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Screen-Shot-2021-05-13-at-10.00.02-240x145.png"},"full":{"file":"Screen-Shot-2021-05-13-at-10.00.02.png","width":1378,"height":869,"mime_type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/zhang.digitalscholar.rochester.edu\/mapping\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Screen-Shot-2021-05-13-at-10.00.02.png"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0","keywords":[]}},"post":622,"source_url":"https:\/\/zhang.digitalscholar.rochester.edu\/mapping\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Screen-Shot-2021-05-13-at-10.00.02.png","filename":"Screen-Shot-2021-05-13-at-10.00.02.png","filesize":618515,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/zhang.digitalscholar.rochester.edu\/mapping\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/654","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/zhang.digitalscholar.rochester.edu\/mapping\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/zhang.digitalscholar.rochester.edu\/mapping\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/attachment"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zhang.digitalscholar.rochester.edu\/mapping\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zhang.digitalscholar.rochester.edu\/mapping\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=654"}],"wp:attached-to":[{"embeddable":true,"post_type":"page","id":622,"href":"https:\/\/zhang.digitalscholar.rochester.edu\/mapping\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/622"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
