McCarthy and the Red Scare Joseph McCarthy begins a crusade against Communism in the early 1950s that turns into a “Red Scare” Everyone is accused, and some are blacklisted as a result. Julius and Ethel Rosenberg executed as spies for the Soviets. 1953

Kitchen Table Debates This was a comparison of the two superpowers with Nixon and Khrushchev sharing views of new technology. The materialism of the United States was compared to the austerity of the Soviet Union. Did not talk about military strategy or technology.

Bay of Pigs Invasion 1961, this was an attempt to eliminate Fidel Castro’s Communist government. We supplied arms to revolutionary soldiers, and the CIA provided intelligence. It was touted as a guaranteed success, but ends up a huge blunder. The revolutionaries lose, and the United States is embarrassed by this loss.

Cuban Missile Crisis 1962, it is found that the Soviets are transporting nuclear weapons into Cuba. They claim it is for defense; however, these missiles can reach major US cities. Kennedy stages a blockade of Cuba to stop the flow of nuclear weapons. Khrushchev attempts to claim nuclear war is inevitable. 13 days and several speeches and conversations later, Khrushchev turns the ships around.

Mutually Assured Destruction Prior to 1962, it was a constant nuclear arms race. After the Cuban Missile Crisis, people know how close the Earth came to annihilation, leaders begin to discuss limiting the use of nuclear weapons. After Kennedy is assassinated, an increased presence in Vietnam leads to a new look into Containment. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yBUSvC3zf4
