EAST VERSUS WEST- A GLOBAL DIVIDE & A COLD WAR: CAUSES & COURSE

Cold War  Russia-source of fear to W. Capitalist World  Russia & U.S.-were allies during WW II  Soviet Union & U.S.-sharply opposed, conflict seemed inevitable

Cold War-Military Conflict  In 1946, W. Churchill said: “An iron curtain has descended across the Continent... I am convinced there is nothing they [the communists] so much admire as strength, and there is nothing for which they have less respect than weakness, especially military weakness."

Cold War-Military Conflict  “Iron curtain”-watchword of the CW  CW-the state of political tension & military rivalry-U.S./Allies Vs. SU/Allies  Initial arena of CW was Europe  Europe was bitterly divided, particularly in Berlin; but no shooting war occurred between the 2 sides

China  1949-Mao Zedong proclaimed the est. of the People's Republic of China  China & SU-were sharply opposed due to territorial disputes, ideological differences & for communist leadership  They were at the brink of war in the late 60s

Cold War  Soviet insistence on security/control in E. Europe clashed w/Am & British desires for democratic societies & capitalism  NATO & Warsaw Pact-an Am sphere of influence in W. Europe & an imposed Soviet sphere in E. Europe

NATO (blue) And WARSAW PACT (red)

Cold War  Communism into Asia globalized the CW & led to destructive "hot wars“  N. Korea invaded S. Korea in 1950  Chinese & Am. involvement ( )

Cuban Missile Crisis  Fidel Castro came to power in 1959, his nationalization of Am. assets provoked great U.S. hostility  Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev deployed nuclear-tipped missiles to Cuba  World held its breath for 13 days as Am. forces blockaded the island & prepared to invade (Oct. 62’)

Cuban Missile Crisis  A nuclear exchange between superpowers seemed imminent  Catastrophe averted by Khrushchev & U.S. President John F. Kennedy  Compromise-Soviets remove missiles from Cuba in return for an Am. promise not to invade the island
