Unit 13 – Chapter 13 – The Cold War Begins Cold War Conflict Democracy vs. Communism

U.S and Soviet aims around the world Soviet Union Encourage Communism in other countries as part of the worldwide struggle between workers and the wealthy. Transfer the industrial equipment of Eastern Europe to the Soviet Union to help rebuild its war-ravaged economy. Control Eastern Europe to balance the US influence in Western Europe. Keep Germany divided and weak, since the Germans had waged war against Russia twice in 30 years and had caused most of the 20 million Soviet deaths in WWII. United States Encourage democracy in other countries to help prevent the rise of new totalitarian governments. Gain access to raw materials and markets for its booming industries. Rebuild European governments to ensure stability and to create new markets for American goods. Reunite Germany, believing that Europe would be more secure if Germany were productive and less bitter about defeat.

The Cold War Heats Up

China and Taiwan A Civil War breaks out in China between the NATIONALISTs led by Chiang Kai- Shek and the COMMUNISTS lead by Mao Zedong. Chiang Kai-Shek (Nationalist) Mao Zedong (Communist) Who will the U.S.A support?

Chinese Civil War A. U.S. and Soviet Support - The United States supports the Nationalists and Chiang-Kai Shek - The Soviet Union supports the Communists and Mao Zedong. We support the Nationalist despite some of the negative policies they have towards their own people. EX) Having a grain tax during a famine. B. Outcome - The Nationalists are forced off the Chinese mainland to the island of Taiwan.

Chinese Civil War continued… C. The United States’ Reaction to Communist Takeover 1) Americans were stunned that CONTAINMENT had failed and further worried that other countries would fall to Communism. (DOMINO THEORY) 2) The Fear of Communism was increased and would only get worse after events in Korea a year later.

The Korean War (Police action) - Jun 25, 1950 – Jul 27, 1953 At the end of World War II Japan had surrendered Korea to both the Soviets and the US. The dividing line was the 38th parallel…Communism to the North, Democracy to the South. The 38th Parallel – Dividing line between Communist North Korea and Democratic South Korea.

October 1950 – UN (mostly US) troops push North Korea back towards China January 1951 – Chinese troops force UN troops back to the 38th parallel.

Outcome of Korean War (Police action) 54,000 U.S. casualties 2) Increased fear of Communist aggression and prompted a hunt for spies on whom to blame Communist gains around the world. 3) Creation of HUAC (House Committee on Un-American Activities) Led by Joseph McCarthy BLACKLISTING – Condemning of a person for having Communist sympathies or background.

The Rosenbergs Ethel and Julius Rosenberg were tried and convicted of giving the Soviet Union information about the United States atomic bomb. (The Russians were able to test and atomic bomb 3-5 years before the US anticipated they would be able to) The Rosenberg’s pleaded the 5th and claimed they were being persecuted because they were Jewish and minor members of America’s Communist party. - The couple was executed in the electric chair in June of 1953.

McCarthy Witch Hunt Hearings McCarthyism – Attacks on suspected Communist in the early 1950s. (It almost always included accusing people of being Communist with very little evidence) - Senator Joseph McCarthy claims that the U.S. Government is being taken over by Communist and the Democratic Party was a Communist friendly organization. - Millions investigated, jailed and forced to quit labor unions. - McCarthy’s downfall: Made accusations against the U.S. Army, lost support because of this and his performance at the televised Senate hearings that followed.
