23 The United Nations formed the nation of Israel as a territory for exiled Jews around the world after WWII Israel was given land formerly occupied by Muslim Palestine This has led to decades of conflict between Israel and Palestine
24 Chapter 18.1 Origins of the Cold War
25 1. Why was the U.S. suspicious of the Soviet Union during and after WWII? ISSUES Even during the war, the two nations disagreed on many issues The U.S. was furious that Soviet leader Joseph Stalin had been an ally of Hitler for a time (Nazi-Soviet Pact) Stalin was upset that the U.S. had kept its development of the atomic bomb a secret (Manhattan Project)
26 2. ID United Nations (U.N.) Included the 50 most important nations on the planet in a peacekeeping organization after WWII Eventually the U.S. and Soviet Union used the U.N. as a platform to exert their influence globally
27 3. Describe the promise Stalin made to FDR at the Yalta Conference. FDR, Churchill, and Stalin met at Yalta towards the end of WWII to plan the postwar world: 1. Stalin promised free elections in Soviet-controlled Poland 2. Declaration of a Liberated Europe (the right of all people to choose their own government) 3. Germany divided into 4 zones(american, British, French, and Soviet)
28 SUPERPOWERS STRUGGLE OVER GERMANY At the end of the war, Germany was divided among the Allies into four zones for the purpose of occupation The U.S, France, and Great Britain decided to combine their 3 zones into one zone West Germany, or the federal Republic of Germany The U.S.S.R. controlled East Germany, or the German Democratic Republic Now the superpowers were occupying an area right next to each other problems were bound to occur
29 4. What was decided regarding reparations (fines) at the Potsdam Conference? At Potsdam, it was decided that each of the occupying nations would take reparations (fines) from their own zones as they saw fit Each nation had a different opinion on how to punish Germany for WWII
30 Argument between the U.S. and the Soviets over reparations (fines) towards Germany Stalin pushed for heavy reparations (fines) against Germany to keep her weak FDR (before his death) pushed for reparations based on Germany s ability to actually pay them back (much easier form of punishment)
31 5. Summarize American goals for Germany after WWII. Many Americans believed that economic depression was the main cause of WWII The United States believed that free trade and strong economies would help create a lasting peace in Europe and Asia *punish Germany but get her back on her feet economically to prevent another Hitler from taking power
32 6. Summarize Soviet goals for Germany after WWII. Soviets concerned mostly with security after WWII Their history is filled with German invasions Therefore there was a strong determination to keep a defeated Germany weak to prevent yet another invasion
33 SOVIETS DOMINATE EASTERN The Soviet Union suffered an estimated 21 million WWII deaths, half of whom were civilian As a result they felt justified in their claim to Eastern Europe Furthermore, they felt they needed Eastern Europe as a buffer against future German aggression EUROPE
34 Stopped Here
35 7. ID satellite nations and list them In a 1946 speech, Stalin said communism and capitalism were incompatible and another war was inevitable Stalin installed puppet communist governments in the Eastern European countries of Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Poland, Yugoslavia and East Germany This after promising free elections for Eastern Europe at the Yalta Conference
36 So, this is the beginning of what history calls the Cold War so let s take a few minutes to understand what this all means
37 The Cold War defined Period of conflict between the U.S. and the Soviet Union between 1945 and 1991 Competition between the U.S. and the Soviet Union in politics, economy, military, education, science, space, sports, etc.
38 ORIGINS OF THE COLD WAR The Cold War would dominate global affairs from 1945 until the breakup of the USSR in 1991 After being Allies during WWII, the U.S. and the Soviet Union soon viewed each other with increasing suspicion Their political differences created a climate of icy tension that plunged the two countries into an era of bitter rivalry known as the Cold War
39 POLITICAL DIFFERENCES At the heart of the tension was a fundamental difference in political systems America is a democracy that has a capitalist economic system, free elections and competing political parties In the U.S.S.R., the sole political party the Communists established a totalitarian regime with little or no rights for the citizens Soviets viewed Marx, Engels and Lenin as founders of Communism
40 Communism vs. Democracy
41 Definition of Communism An economic system characterized by the collective ownership of property and by the organization of labor for the common advantage of all members
42 Fundamentals of Communism Government controls these things: Property Business Free Speech Laws *the overall idea is that the government controls every aspect of its peoples lives in a communist state
43 Who were the major Communist powers of the 20 th century? The Soviet Union China East Germany Poland Czechoslovakia Romania Cuba North Korea North Vietnam
44 Who is still Communist today? China North Korea Cuba
45 Democracy defined Form of government, where a constitution guarantees basic personal and political rights, fair and free elections, and independent courts of law.
46 Fundamentals of Democracy We elect our leaders to speak on our behalf We have the right to voice opposition to our leaders without fear of punishment If you don t like something, we have the right to change it If we want something bad enough, we can most certainly achieve it
47 Truman s attitude towards Soviet Truman was strongly anti-communist and refused to give in to Soviet demands We must stand up to the Russians Continued to push for German economic recovery demands.
48 Truman possibly bullied Stalin into accepting the ideas discussed at Potsdam Truman mentioned that the U.S. had successfully tested an atomic bomb which Stalin believed was bullying Some believe Truman mentioned this to Stalin to pressure him into accepting American demands at Potsdam (end of WWII)
49 8. ID containment Containment keeping communism within its present territory through the use of diplomatic, economic, and military actions. Becomes American policy throughout the Cold War. *Communism could be beaten without going to war. See Joseph McCarthy (right)
50 9. Explain iron curtain and who coined the phrase? Europe was now divided into two political regions; a mostly democratic Western Europe and a communist Eastern Europe In a 1946 speech, British P.M Winston Churchill said, An iron curtain has descended across the continent The phrase iron curtain came to stand for the division of Europe between communism in the east and democracy in the west
51 10. Explain the Truman Doctrine. The American policy of containment soon expanded into a policy known as the Truman Doctrine This doctrine, first used in Greece and Turkey in the late 1940s, vowed for the U.S. to provide aid (money & military supplies) to support free peoples who are resisting outside pressures \ In other words, the U.S. would always support people resisting Communism worldwide
52 11. Summarize the Marshall Plan. The Marshall Plan helped Western Europe recover economically Post-war Europe was devastated economically In June 1947, Secretary of State George Marshall proposed a U.S. financial aid package to European nations effected by WWII Western Europe accepted the help, while Communist Eastern Europe rejected the aid Over the next four years 16 European countries received $13 billion in U.S. aid By 1952 Western Europe s economy was flourishing
