The student will apply social science skills to
understand the conflicts during the second
half of the twentieth century by:
a) explaining the causes of the Cold War, including the
competition between the American and Soviet economic and
political systems and the causes of the collapse of communism
in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe;
b) describing the major leaders and events of the Cold War,
including the location of major conflicts;
c) describing conflicts and revolutionary movements in Asia
and their major leaders, including Mao Tse-tung (Zedong),
Chiang Kai-shek, Deng Xiaoping, and Ho Chi Minh; and
d) examining the political and economic shifts that led to the
end of the Cold War, with emphasis on Margaret Thatcher,
Mikhail Gorbachev, and Ronald Reagan.

Post- WWII
Dunkirk Treaty (1947) between Britain and France, which pledged a common defense against aggression
Brussels Treaty (1948) signed by most Western European countries
The Berlin blockade that began in March 1948 led to negotiations between Western Europe, Canada, and the United States
In the years after World War II, many
Western leaders believed the policies
of the USSR threatened international
stability and peace
the West forms common defenses:
Dunkirk Treaty
Brussels Treaty
Berlin blockade leads to
North Atlantic Treaty

C. Global Conflict and Arms Race
Although centered originally in Europe, the Cold War
enmity eventually drew the United States and the
USSR into local conflicts in almost every quarter of
the globe
It also produced what became known as the Cold
War arms race, an intense competition between the
two superpowers to accumulate advanced military
weapons
![Page 17: Era VIII WHII.12 The Cold Waracpsweb.com/sites/Era VII/Shared Documents/WHII.12 The Cold War... · D.

Soviet bloc

Beginning of the Cold War (1945- 1948)
E. President Truman and the Policy of
Containment
Congress appropriated $400 million to support anti-
Communist forces in Turkey and Greece
By giving aid, the United States signaled that it would
bolster regimes that claimed to face Communist threats
As George Kennan explained in an article in Foreign
Affairs magazine in 1947, “containment” meant using
“unalterable counterforce at every point” until Soviet
power ended or faded
![Page 19: Era VIII WHII.12 The Cold Waracpsweb.com/sites/Era VII/Shared Documents/WHII.12 The Cold War... · D.

Truman
Stalin failed to honor pledges to
hold free elections in Eastern
Europe
Truman refused to honor
promises to send reparations
from the defeated Germany to
help rebuild the war-devastated
USSR
The president proposed the
Truman Doctrine
![Page 20: Era VIII WHII.12 The Cold Waracpsweb.com/sites/Era VII/Shared Documents/WHII.12 The Cold War... · D.

Containment
Containment aimed to prevent the spread of
communism and to oppose communist nations—
especially the Soviet Union—by diplomatic, political,
and economic means
Kennan’s article publicized the policy of containment
of Soviet communism, a policy adopted by the
administration of President Harry S. Truman
Kennan’s ideas provided an influential justification for
American policy toward the Soviet Union during the
Cold War
![Page 21: Era VIII WHII.12 The Cold Waracpsweb.com/sites/Era VII/Shared Documents/WHII.12 The Cold War... · D.

F. Truman Doctrine
President Truman vows to give aid to any
nation resisting the spread of communism
“Containment”= keep communism where it is…
don’t let it spread
George Kennan= author of “containment”

G. Eastern Europe
Soviet satellite nations
The Iron Curtain
US and USSR had become divided over the political
future of Poland
Stalin believed that Soviet control of Poland was
necessary for his country’s security
This met with opposition from the Allies- it was not long
before the quarrel had extended to the political future of
other Eastern European nations
Yet both sides thought they could work it out

Iron Curtain
Iron Curtain, policy of isolation set up by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) after World War II (1939-45) that involved rigid censorship and restrictions on travel
The Iron Curtain acted as a barrier to communication and the free exchange of ideas between the USSR (and its satellite states) and the rest of the world
“From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic an iron curtain has descended across the continent.”-Sir Winston Churchill

As the Allies conquer Germany at the end of World
War II, they divide it into separate zones of occupation
Berlin, in the Soviet zone, is partially controlled by
Western occupying forces
When the Soviets blockade the city to gain
control over all Berlin, the United States supports
West Berliners with a dramatic airlift of supplies
The event divides the city and hardens the line between
East and West Germany

Berlin Wall
1. Between 1949 and 1961= 2.7 million people
fled East Germany, more than half of them
through West Berlin
East Germans knew their standard of living was
lower than West Germany
2. 1961- East German government decided to
stop this flight to the West by building the wall
East Germany built concrete wall- 4 m (12 ft) high
and 166 km (103 mi) long

Berlin Wall
During the night of August 13, 1961, East German soldiers and
members of its militia surrounded West Berlin with temporary
fortifications that were rapidly replaced by a concrete wall
Where a wall was not possible, buildings were bricked-up
The only openings in the wall were two closely guarded
crossing points
GDR announced that the wall was needed to prevent military
aggression and political interference from West Germany
East German government built tank traps and ditches along
the eastern side of the wall (constructed to keep East German
citizens in)

Cuban Missile Crisis 1960
Regarded by many as the world's closest approach to
nuclear war
The crisis began when the United States discovered Cuba
had secretly installed Soviet missiles able to carry nuclear
weapons capable of hitting targets across most of the
United States
This led to a tense stand-off of several days as the United
States imposed a naval blockade of Cuba and demanded
that the USSR remove the missiles.

H. Nuclear Weapons and the Theory of
Deterrence
Policy- discourage hostile action by
a potential aggressor
deliberate efforts to prevent the
initiation of aggression
convincing a would-be aggressor that the
attack will fail—“deterrence by denial”
giving the impression that success would be
achieved at an excessive price—
“deterrence by punishment.”
Punishment
may be imposed by mounting an effective
defense
by launching retaliatory attacks
