Aftermath of WWII: The Iron Curtain

How did WWII change Europe? Essential Question How did WWII change Europe?

U.S.S.R. After the death of Vladimir Lenin, the Soviet Union’s new communist leader was Joseph Stalin. Stalin and the Soviets fought alongside the Allies in WWII.

U.S.S.R However, after WWII Stalin no longer trusted the U.S. or Great Britain. He felt that the U.S. and Great Britain had deliberately let Germany invade Russia, and then purposely took their time in giving their aid. Stalin believed they were trying to make the Soviet Union weaker.

Communism The U.S. and Great Britain were afraid Stalin was going to try to spread Communism all over Europe. Stalin was more like a dictator than Lenin had been. Stalin was more militant.

A Nuclear War Each side thought the other was trying to rule the world Neither side would give up, people lived in fear that another world war would erupt This time it could be a nuclear war, which could destroy the entire planet Countries began to form alliances to protect themselves…

NATO 1949: Western European countries, Canada, & US formed the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Each nation in NATO believed the Soviet Union would not attack western Europe if the U.S. would launch nuclear war in return

The Warsaw Pact What was the Warsaw Pact? Why was it formed? an alliance of the Soviet Union and its communist satellite nations Why was it formed? to counter NATO an anti-Western military alliance Why “Warsaw”? Warsaw, Poland was the city where the treaty was signed Satellite nation? Satellite nations are nations that are dependent upon a stronger power. The Soviet satellite nations were Bulgaria, Romania, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, and East Germany.

The Iron Curtain After WWII ended, the U.S., Great Britain and France controlled Western Europe and the Western portion of Germany They set up Democratic governments. The Soviet Union controlled Eastern Europe and Eastern Germany They set up Communist governments loyal to the U.S.S.R.

The Iron Curtain The imaginary line that separated Communist Eastern Europe from Democratic Western Europe was called the Iron Curtain. Both sides feared one another. Each side began preparing for another war.

The Berlin Wall The city of Berlin in Germany was in the Eastern part of Germany. Instead of giving the whole city to the Soviet Union, the city was split in two. One side was Democratic, the other side was Communist.

The Berlin Wall People kept fleeing East Berlin to be in West Berlin, so the Communists built a wall to keep people from going there. This was the Berlin Wall.
