Key Concept 8.1: The United States responded to an uncertain and unstable postwar world by asserting and working to maintain a position of global leadership, with far-reaching domestic and international consequences. I.United States policymakers engaged in a Cold War with the authoritarian Soviet Union, seeking to limit the growth of Communist military power and ideological influence, create a free-market global economy, and build an international security system. A. As postwar tensions dissolved the wartime alliance between Western democracies and the Soviet Union, the United States developed a foreign policy based on collective security, international aid, and economic institutions that bolstered non-Communist nations. Collective security United Nations (1945) Truman Doctrine (1947) Marshall Plan (1947) NATO (1949) SEATO (1954)

B. Concerned by expansionist Communist ideology and Soviet repression, the United States sought to contain communism through a variety of measures, including major military engagements in Korea and Vietnam. Containment policy George F. Kennan’s “long telegram” (1946) Domino theory National Security Report 68/NSC-68 (1950) Hydrogen bomb (1952) John F. Dulles and massive retaliation (1954) Sputnik and the space race (1957) National Defense Education Act (1958) JFK’s flexible response policy Truman’s “limited war” in the Korean War Gulf of Tonkin Resolution (1964) Operation Rolling Thunder ( ) Tet Offensive (1968)

C. The Cold War fluctuated between periods of direct and indirect military confrontation and periods of mutual coexistence (or détente). Khrushchev’s visit to US (1959) U-2 incident (1960) Berlin Wall (1961) Cuban Missile Crisis (1962) White House “hotline” with USSR (1963) Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (1963) Détente Nixon’s visit to China (1972) Grain Deal with USSR (1972) Nixon’s “Vietnamization” policy ( ) Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty/SALT I (1969 )

D. Postwar decolonization and the emergence of powerful nationalist movements in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East led both sides in the Cold War to seek allies among new nations, many of which remained nonaligned. US recognition of Israel (1948) Operation Ajax in Iran (1953) Peace Corps (1961) US support of Israel in Yom Kippur War (1973) Camp David Accords (1978) Soviet invasion of Afghanistan (1979)

E. Cold War competition extended to Latin America, where the U.S. supported non-Communist regimes that had varying levels of commitment to democracy. US embargo of Cuba (1960) Bay of Pigs (1961) Peace Corps (1961) Cuban Missile Crisis (1962) Support for the Contras in Nicaragua

II.Cold War policies led to public debates over the power of the federal government and acceptable means for pursuing international and domestic goals while protecting civil liberties. A. Americans debated policies and methods designed to expose suspected communists within the United States even as both parties supported the broader strategy of containing communism. House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) investigation of Hollywood Hollywood Ten (1947) Federal Employee Loyalty Program (1947) Trial of Alger Hiss (1950) Senator Joseph McCarthy (1950) McCarthyism (Second Red Scare) Execution of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg (1953) Army-McCarthy hearings (1954)
