Presentation transcript:

Josef Stalin: Leader of the Soviet Union (USSR) Government: Communist Leadership Style: Dictator – killed anyone who disagreed with Communism

Josef Stalin Wanted to spread Communism to other nations weakened by WWII Believed Capitalism and Imperialism were evil

Winston Churchill: Leader of Great Britain after WWII Government: Constitutional Monarchy (Branch of Democracy given that people still vote and the government is developed by a Constitution)

Winston Churchill Still believed in Imperialism but wanted to protect Eastern Europe from the spread of Communism

Harry Truman Government: Constitutional Republic (Additional form of Democracy) Became President in 1945 after the death of FDR

Harry Truman Believed in democracy and believed that Communism limited freedoms

Yalta Conference Meeting between Winston Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Joseph Stalin Took place in Yalta, Ukraine between February 4 – 11, 1945. The final agreement included: Creation of the United Nations Details regarding the liberation of Europe The potential postwar division of Germany

Potsdam Conference Stalin, Churchill and Truman met in Potsdam, Germany, from July 17 to August 2, 1945, to negotiate terms for the end of World War II. Numerous disagreements between the three leaders Agreed on the following negotiations: demilitarized and disarmed Germany under four zones of Allied occupation. all German military and paramilitary forces were to be eliminated; and the production of all military hardware in Germany was forbidden. repeal of all discriminatory laws from the Nazi era and by the arrest and trial of those Germans deemed to be "war criminals." President Truman told Stalin about the first nuclear bomb that was to be dropped Stalin, however, knew about the U.S. nuclear program thanks to the Soviet intelligence network – created even more tension between leaders

What potential problems could this division cause?

The Marshall Plan The Marshall Plan, also called the European Recovery Plan, was enacted by the US in 1947 as a way to help rebuild Europe after World War II. Meant to help the badly damaged Europe recover, it was also meant to prevent communism from gaining a stronghold in war torn countries. West Germany, which was divided from East Germany after the war, received some aid under the Marshall Plan. Great Britain and France received the most aid, over $200 million US Dollars (USD) each. Other countries receiving funds for reconstruction were Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Greece, Iceland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, and Turkey. Although aid was offered to the Soviet Union, it was refused.
