The Cold War 1.Historians’ Approaches 2.Timeline 3.Fighting the Cold War Inside

Theory Where historians differ… Traditionalists Revisionists Rejecting the dualistic approach Kennan’s “Long Telegram”: the idea of containment Republican criticism of Kennan’s containment -> radicalizing US foreign policy

Beginnings of the Bipolar System US Cold War institutions National Security Act of 1947 integrated Department of Defense CIA National Security Council Hardening relationship with the Soviet Union Greece and Turkey -> the Truman Doctrine (12 March 1947) officially endorsed the containment policy The Marshall Plan of 1947 The Berlin-crisis ( ) and the Berlin airlift April 1949: the establishment of the NATO

Conservative Pressure 1949 John Foster Dulles Rollback of Communism Confrontational attitude vs. rhetoric 1953: workers’ uprising in Berlin 1956: Poznań and Hungary the first détente the Cold War transferred to the third world 1957: the Soviets launched the first sputnik -> American territories vulnerable Eisenhower Doctrine: the US would not tolerate the advancement of Communism in that region

THE KENNEDY ERA

End of the détente Berlin Wall in 1961 Cuban Communist victory (Fidel Castro) 1961: the failure of US landing in the Bay of Pigs 1962: Cub an Missile crisis Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (August 1963) US bilateral relations with Communist European countries

The Vietnam War

Diem’s regime in the South 1964: the Tonkin Gulf incident American Withdrawal 1968: Nixon’s promise to “Vietnamize” the war 1969: the Nixon Doctrine: the US would not fight local wars instead of the local forces 1973: end of the Vietnam War

FIGHTING THE COLD WAR AT HOME

Roots of Anti-Communism Roots of the second “red scare” 1920s: paranoia, conservative fears of Communist plots The Saco-Vanzetti case (1927) Anti-Communist propaganda during WWII 1938: House Committee on Un-American Activity (HUAC) 1940: Smith Act: restricted radicals’ freedom of speech and of assembly

THE BEGINNINGS OF THE COLD WAR AT HOME

“Internal containment” in the immediate post- WWII years constraints on Truman’s administration to prevent Republican charges Hollywood purges (1947) After 1949 Until 1951: 2500 persons dismissed from federal offices 1950: McCarran-Walter Security Act: immigration law passed over Truman’s veto

MCCARTHYISM

Senator from Wisconsin Wheeling speech the overall character of the speech: anti-intellectual, emotional, manipulative, engendering paranoia and fears, affecting the sentiments of the “hidden” middle class, conservative, religious people the Rosenberg case (1953) End of McCarthyism embarrassing for the Eisenhower administration Cooling off after Stalin’s death in foreign policy McCarthy personally discredited himself at Senate hearings Civil rights era

THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT

Beginnings Plessy vs. Ferguson – „separate but equal” Jim Craw laws NAACP (1909) 1954: Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas Resistance to desegregation (Little Rock, 1957)

Martin Luther King The Montgomery bus boycott – Rosa Parks MLK becomes the leader of the boycott movement -> SCLC “Sit-in” movements “Freedom rides”: testing desegregation in interstate coaches March on Washington, DC: MLK’s “I Have a Dream” -> break with the radical groups of the civil rights movement

Radicalism 1965: Black Power : race riots in LA, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit Malcolm X: “The Ballot or the Bullet” (1964) Murders of MLK and Malcolm X Black Panther Party (1966): reject negotiation with whites Loss of faith in the administration, consumer society, indifference, inertia, and “establishment” in general

Achievements Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka Voting Rights Act (1965) – “Minority Districting” Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1968 Modern Feminism Indian Rights (of the Civil Rights Act of 1968) affirmative action PC

The Great Society Kennedy’s “New Frontier” L. B. Johnson’s “Great Society”: linking the idea of civil rights with the war on poverty Educational improvement by the “Head Start” program “Upward Bound” aiding disadvantaged children Medicare and Medicaid

NEOCONSERVATISM 1970s-1980s

Republican era after 1968 Nixon, Reagan, Bush The “New Right” Growing strength of the conservative movement: 1972: Debate of the ERA Nixon administration: busing only as the last resort to desegregate schools 1978: Bakke vs. University of California Board of regents 1979: Jerry Falwell’s Moral Majority -> accommodationism Ronald Reagan’s “Second American Revolution” Dismantling the welfare state Cutting taxes Laissez-faire economy (Milton Friedman) Armament –the second cold war
