The Cold War Begins 1945-1960

Georgia Standards SSUSH20 The student will analyze the domestic and international impact of the Cold War on the United States. a. Describe the creation of the Marshall Plan, U.S. commitment to Europe, the Truman Doctrine, and the origins and implications of the containment policy. b. Explain the impact of the new communist regime in China and the outbreak of the Korean War and how these events contributed to the rise of Senator Joseph McCarthy.

The international impact of the cold war

Origins of the cold war US President Harry Truman and Soviet Union dictator Joseph Stalin disagreed on how Germany and Eastern Europe should be controlled after WWII. Recall US was capitalist; Soviet Union was communist. Stalin’s army ended up occupying almost all of Eastern Europe making them satellite states of the USSR. The rivalry for control between the US and the USSR led to a 46 year conflict known as the Cold War.

The “Iron curtain” British Prime Minister Winston Churchill agreed with Truman that Stalin was attempting to spread Soviet influence throughout the world. He commented that the world was now divided in two by an “iron curtain”; on one side communist, the other side capitalist.

Berlin Splits in Two In 1961, the Berlin Wall was constructed physically separating communist East Berlin from capitalist West Berlin.

Truman Doctrine The Soviet Union attempted to expand its influence over the struggling nations of Greece and Turkey. President Truman pleaded to Congress in 1947 to financially assist these two countries to deter them from falling under Soviet control. Truman’s promise to aid nations struggling against communist movements became known as the Truman Doctrine, setting a new course for American foreign policy.

Containment Policy In July 1947, George Keenan, an American diplomat, published an article about the global intentions of the Soviet Union. Keenan argued that the Soviet Union would be persistent and patient in its attempts to expand communist influence. His article presented a blueprint for the American policy of suppressing communism called containment.

Marshall Plan After WWII, European countries were in dire need for food, fuel and medical supplies. Secretary of State George Marshall proposed a plan to help Europe financially recover, called the Marshall Plan. This aid helped facilitate good relationships between Western Europe and the US and also helped reduce the influence of communism on the continent.

Communist Takeover China In 1949 Chinese communist leader Mao Zedong emerged victorious in the Chinese Civil War. US had supported anti-communist forces in China during the war, but refused to intervened militarily. Americans were shocked at the communist victory in China; seen as a failure of the containment policy.

The Korean War After WWII, the Korean peninsula was divided at the 38th parallel. North Korea was under the control of the Soviet Union. South Korea was under the control of the United States.

The Korean War In 1950, communist North Korea attacked south of the 38th parallel into South Korea with weapons supplied by the USSR. In response, President Truman sent in US troops to push back the North Korea army. When the US forced North Korea’s army back above the 38th parallel China decided to send troops to assist the North Koreans. War ended in 1953 as a stalemate; no territory was gained or lost by either side.

Memorial to the “Forgotten War”

The Domestic Impact of the Cold War

Another Red Scare With the “loss” of China and the thousands of troop deaths in the Korean War, many Americans again became concerned about the growing influence of communism. This “2nd Red Scare” caused more alarm, spreading deeper and wider than the Red Scare of the 1920’s. HUAC: House on Un-American Activities Committee created to search for communists in all aspects of American life. (government, army, unions, education, etc.)

Spy Cases Worry Americans Americans feared that spies were working within the United States to help steal secrets about constructing atomic weapons. Married couple Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were accused of helping pass along atomic secrets to the Soviet Union. Both were executed in 1953 for treason.

The Rise of Joe McCarthy In 1950, Wisconsin Senator Joseph McCarthy claimed that the US state department was overrun with communists. The “fall” of China and the outbreak of the Korean War only served to increase the popularity and power of Joseph McCarthy. Numerous peoples’ reputations, careers and livelihoods were ruined in the aftermath of McCarthy’s “witch-hunt”. His quest to rid the government of communists became known as McCarthyism.

I have here in my hand a list of 205 I have here in my hand a list of 205 . . . a list of names that were made known to the Secretary of State as being members of the Communist Party and who nevertheless are still working and shaping policy in the State Department. . . . - Joseph McCarthy, Wheeling, West Virginia, February 9, 1950

The fall of Joseph McCarthy After a time, many began to see McCarthy’s unfounded accusations as the work of a man whose judgments had become clouded by his lust for power. When McCarthy started to investigate communists in the military, the new President Eisenhower decided he needed to be stopped. Eisenhower ordered televised investigations into the personal and professional life of McCarthy and his advisors. The press had a field day; publishing unflattering accounts of McCarthy and the tactics he used to exploit and destroy people’s reputations. He was officially censured by the Congress in December 1954. McCarthy died in 1957 of cirrhosis of the liver due to alcohol abuse.
