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 Britian. He felt that the U.S. and Great Britain had deliberately let Germany invade Russia, and then purposely taken 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.

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.
