Former Allies Clash United States and Soviet Union’s economic and political systems were incompatible. Communism vs. Capitalism U.S. vs. Soviet Union United Nations

Truman Becomes President Unprepared to be President of the United States Met with Roosevelt only twice in the 82 days Truman was Vice President Roosevelt left him uninformed about: Military matters Peace negotiations Atomic Bomb

Truman Meets Stalin at Potsdam Potsdam Conference – final wartime conference of the Big Three First time meeting the Big Three Stalin refuses Truman’s push to allow free elections in Eastern European nations that were under Eastern European This American cartoon of 1945 shows the Atomic Bomb overshadowing the peace-makers at the Potsdam Conference.  

Tensions Mount Truman wanted to spread democracy to nations that were previously under Nazi rule He and advisors want to avoid another world war Create a new world order where nations had a right of self-determination through free elections Truman was cautious of giving into too many of Stalin’s demands for territory and war reparations Allies would take reparations from the part of Germany it occupied

New British prime minister Clement Attlee, U. S New British prime minister Clement Attlee, U.S. president Harry Truman, and the Soviet state and party leader Joseph Stalin

Soviets Tighten Their Grip on Eastern Europe Soviet Union felt justified in staying in Eastern Europe Communist governments in the satellite nations: Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, and Poland. War is inevitable

United States Establishes A Policy of Containment Stop “babying the Soviets” Policy of containment

The Iron Curtain… “From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the Continent.” Winston Churchill

Cold War in Europe Conflicts in U.S. and Soviet aims in Eastern Europe Cold War: The state of hostility short of direct military confrontation that developed between the two superpowers. Dominates global affairs and U.S. foreign policy “Battle” by spreading their political and economic influences wherever they could Spread to Asia, Africa, and Latin America

Truman Doctrine and The Marshall Plan

The Controversial Truman Doctrine Britain running out of aid, United States to the rescue $400 million in economic and military aid for Greece and Turkey The United States should support free peoples throughout the world who were resisting takeovers by “armed minorities” or “outside pressures.” Created controversy interfering with internal affairs of other nations U.S. power would be spread too thin if country carried on global crusade against communism Opposed helping any dictators, even if they were anti-Communist

Marshall Plan to the Rescue Western Europe was in economic chaos Winter of 1946-1947 was harsh in several countries Damaged crops Froze rivers – cut off water transportation and causing fuel shortage June 1947 – General George Marshall – U.S. secretary of state proposed that the United States provide aid to all European countries that needed it “Not directed against any country or doctrine, but against hunger, poverty, desperation, and chaos”

Superpowers Struggle Over Germany Allies and Soviets clash over German reunification Divided into four zones 1948 – recombined the three western zones into one nation

Berlin Airlift and the Formation of NATO

The Berlin Airlift Soviet Union retaliated by holding West Berlin hostage Berlin was also divided into four sections even though it was deep in Soviet territory Cut off all highway, water, and rail traffic into the western zones of Berlin

Peacetime Alliance - NATO Increased fear of Soviet aggression Ten European nations joined with the U.S. and Canada on April 4, 1949 to forma defensive military alliance called the North Atlantic Treaty Organization – NATO Belgium, Denmark, France, Great Britain, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway and Portugal Attack on one equals attack on all Cold War had ended U.S. isolationism
