Many people moved to the job areas California became a major destination (more than 1 million people in 4 years) Pittsburgh and the Mid-Atlantic had the high growth Pittsburgh = 30% of the US’s steel Population Shifts

Family Life Single mothers increased Women had to work to support the children Many couples married Teenagers left home

Minorities after the War Many faced racism at home and during war Migrated to new areas = same problems

Minorities after the War Japanese internment camp People forced to live in segregated areas Fear of Japanese terror spread rapidly JACL – Japanese American Citizens League

Yalta Conference Germany split into 4 pieces (Britain, France, USSR, and US) Poland’s boundaries are redrawn, and eastern areas are taken by the USSR Agreement on the formation of the United Nations

Potsdam Conference

Stalin breaks promise of free elections in Poland and Eastern Europe Truman wants to spread democracy throughout the world US wanted trade with Eastern Europe The Soviet Union had taken control of Eastern Europe and put communist governments in place Potsdam Conference

Soviet Union become one of the strongest nations in the world – dominated eastern Europe and communism spread Britain and France lose colonies in Asia and Africa Axis powers stripped of all land seized Japan occupied by the US until 1952 Lasting Effects of WWII

Trial of War Criminals – the guilty were sentenced to death Rape – soldiers occupying raped Japanese women Censorship – nothing negative about the US printed Industrial centers were closed Cultural Shock – Japanese don’t know how to react Japanese Occupation - Negatives

Soviet UnionUnited States - Driven by security concerns - Wanted a “buffer zone” of other communist countries -Claimed eastern Europe as a sphere of influence -20 million citizens died approx. 7 million soldiers - Land and economy in shambles - Wanted eastern Europe to choose their own govt. - Believed they would choose democracy - 290,000 soldiers died in WWII - Economy is great, no battle damage

Nuclear Arms Stalin speech - capitalism makes war inevitable George Kennan sent the “long telegram” Stated communism must be contained Iran - remained occupied by Soviets

UN Atomic Energy Commission Baruch Plan - US would keep nuclear weapons...no one else can make bombs Soviets saw this as an unfair plan, refused to agree or discuss terms until US destroyed their atomic weapons

Trouble in Greece Communists from Yugoslavia aided communists in Greece Truman Doctrine - US will help people resisting oppression Sent aid and weapons to Greece, communists stopped CIA and National Security Council created
