Facing Off

The Cold War: Basic Facts 1945 to (roughly) 1989 Bipolar international system U.S. NATO U.S.-Japan Security Treaty Soviet Union Warsaw Pact Comintern alliance with China (until late 60s) Defined U.S. and Soviet foreign policy for four decades With two exceptions, it never got “hot” Instead, combatants fought “proxy wars”

How did it come about? Soviet expansionism? U.S. imperialism? Or something else?

Revisionist View U.S. Imperialism Williams: “Open door” for U.S. capital Lasch: The “irrational” state

Neo-realism: No blame Gaddis Power vacuum in Europe U.S. and Soviet Union sucked in Conflict inevitable

Postscript: Some institutions die hard
