What s Going On? 1945: end of World War II is imminent Leaders from the US (Roosevelt), UK (Churchill) and SU (Stalin) meet at Yalta to discuss Germany s surrender and plans for the world post-war
The Yalta Conference At the conference, they decided the following: Britain, France, US, Soviet Union divide Germany into four zones Germany must pay Soviet Union for loss of life and property Stalin joins war against Japan Stalin promises free elections to Eastern Europeans
Turn and Talk Based on what you know, what are the similarities between the Treaty of Versailles and decisions made at Yalta regarding treatment of Germany? ANS: Again, Germany was blamed for the war, and again, they were not present at the negotiations
The Yalta Conference Stalin is the leader of the USSR, a communist country Truman is the president of the United States (after the death of FDR) a capitalist country These two countries were affected differently during World War II, so it makes sense that their goals after the war would be different as well
Turn and Talk Based on the chart, how did the Soviet Union s aims and the United States aims differ? ANS: Democracy versus communism, disagreements over who will get raw materials, control over European governments, reunification of Germany
The Yalta Conference The US and Soviet Union made agreements at the Yalta Conference, but they had different goals after the war and their different political and economic ideologies meant that conflict was inevitable- aka, the Cold War is all about communism versus capitalism, dictator versus democracy
The Beginning of the Cold War Because of these differing aims, Stalin announces that communism and capitalism cannot exist in the same world Winston Churchill makes a famous speech, claiming that an iron curtain has descended upon Europe meaning the democratic west and communist east are separated
The Beginning of the Cold War New US President Harry Truman adopts a foreign policy of containment that attempts to block the spread of communism Truman Doctrine: the US would support any nation resisting communism Marshall Plan: money given to Western Europe for economic recovery and to prevent the spread of communism
