Presentation transcript:

COLD WAR CRISES IN EUROPE AND THE MIDDLE EAST

INFORMATION - The Forces and the eye of the storm The NATO was developing, and to French Concern Germany was welcomed in 1955. The Warsaw pact formed as an opposition to the NATO by the Soviet Union and the Eastern European countries However, the cold war seemed to be easing down during 1955 as many soviets agreed to end their occupation in Austria and hope rose through the summit conference in Geneva and the public denouncement of Stalin by the Soviet Union's communist party leader.

INFORMATION - The Rise and Concerns The peace ended when the Hungarians fought for freedom but were dominated by soviet tanks. This transformed the image of the East for the West. The West was concerned that the Soviets would spread into the oil rich areas of the middle east, as the government of Iran seemed to be affected by the Kremlin and began refusing to comply with the large western governments requests. America sent in the CIA to help find a new leader for Iran, but this only yielded a temporary fix The Suez crisis in Egypt was an even greater concern to the Western European countries and America. President Nasser of Egypt misused American efforts to help build a dam on the Nile by working with a communist camp. After America withdrew the help proposal Nasser quickly nationalized the Suez Canal heavily affecting the Western Oil intake. This move of dominance by Nasser furthered the contempt brewing and led to an assault on Egypt by the French and British With the world teetering over the abyss, America refused to provide the French and British the oil they needed and they had to deter from war in Egypt. To compensate

INFORMATION - A New Page America's influence and production of oil became minimal compared to the rising industry in the Middle East. However, America grew as a heavy oil importer around the 1950’s The U.S president and Congress created the Eisenhower Doctrine which stated that America would aid the Middle Eastern Nations economically if they were threatened by communists. The Threat in the middle east was more than communism, however, it was nationalism as the president was increasingly powerful. The booming oil industry in the Middle East had an extremely strong grip on the Western economy, one that no one could have predicted.
