CHAPTER 7 CHALLENGES TO LIBERALISM: FOREIGN POLICY

A.Shift in the Balance of Power after WWII  Created global bi-polar existence – USA & USSR  Equal in strength which acted as a deterrent to war  Cold War – a threat of aggression between the USA and USSR, fought using propaganda, espionage but very little fighting  Caused by: difference in strategy to defeat Hitler, a lack of agreement on what should be done in Central Europe (USA wanted a democratic Poland, Stalin wanted Poland in his sphere of influence), general fear/mistrust of each other – Communism vs. Capitalism

B. Emergence of the Cold War:  Iron Curtain – coined by Churchill to describe the border between Soviet – dominated countries and Western Europe - no information allowed in or out etc.  Expansionism and the desire to obtain more spheres of influence drove the USSR and USA to the brink of war causing severe tension between the countries

Cold War map of Europe.

 Truman Doctrine – 1947  Containment – attempting to stop the spread of communism  Truman (president) authorized economic and military support to Greece and Turkey after the British informed them that they could no longer afford it  Truman did this to ensure that the Soviets could not establish a sphere of influence  Doctrine was aimed to “support free peoples who are resisting subjugation by armed minorities (communists) or by outside pressure”  Reversal of Isolationism  Beginning of a policy to create a buffer zone around USSR

 Marshall Plan  American policy to improve the economic and military strength of Western Europe so it could resist the spread of communism (containment) by giving money/funds  Seemed necessary because of Soviets demands in Poland, Iran, Greece, Turkey and Czech  Economic part to Truman Doctrine

Berlin Blockade After World War II, Germany was divided into four sectors. West Germany was occupied by the United States, the UK, and France. East Germany was occupied by the USSR. Berlin, wholly inside East Germany, was also divided. In an order to drive the US, UK, and France out of West Berlin, the USSR blocked all entry into West Berlin via train or automobile. Electricity was cut off. Water was cut off.

 Berlin Blockade  Soviets attempted to force the West out of Berlin by Stalin blockading any supplies from entering West Berlin  Three Western Zones in Germany (resulting from WWII) united (Britain, France, USA) to fend off Stalin  Americans and British airlifted supplies to city for 11 months  Major event since it proved that Soviets were not interested in re- unification and would use any means possible to consolidate their power – heightening tensions between USA and USSR

 NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) – 1949  An agreement between USA, Britain, France, Netherlands Canada etc. for mutual protection and defense – an act against one is an act against all  Containment – support each other against Soviet expansionism –rise in tension  Warsaw Pact – 1955  Communist equivalent to NATO, member were East Germany, USSR, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Albania, Bulgaria

C. Rise of Nuclear Warfare:  The arms race was the desire of each superpower to build up more military (nuclear) weapons than the other influenced  Brinkmanship – go to the “brink” of war hoping the other side will back down  Cuban Missile Crisis - Oct. 1962

 Deterrence – the power to deter attack from an outside force, because of an unacceptable damage that would be inflicted on that outside force in retaliation  Nuclear weapons and related technologies were a deterrent to war as each side feared the consequences  Mutually Assured Deterrence (M.A.D )

 Détente – relaxing of tensions  Characterized by treaties, arms limitations, more open communications  Occurred after the Cuban Missile Crisis  Norm during the presidential terms of Nixon, Carter, Ford and early part of Brezhnev’s – several arms talks  Some reasons: - USSR was spending billions of dollars on the arms race – better relations with the West might open up trade - US – wanted to spend more money on social programs, and the Vietnam War (?)  Détente showed how countries could use diplomacy to settle differences. Examples: - Partial Test Ban Treaty 1963 (p. 256) - Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty SALT negotiations – Strategic Arms Limitation Talks  SALT I – 1969 – Bilateral Treaty between USSR and USA to limit nuclear and offensive weapons  It hoped to preserve a balance and limit the possibility of either side gambling on a first strike  Failed to stop the arms race completely - many weapons weren’t on the list, limited only the amount, not the development of them, both maintained first strike capability and enough weapons to intimidate the opponent  SALT II – 1974 – Ford and Brehnev met to negotiate more but it was strongly opposed by the US senate, USSR invaded Afghanistan - SALT II never ratified - Helsinki Accord 1975 (p. 256) - USSR ended Détente when they invaded Afganistan in 1979 (to gain their alliance), SDI led to more tensions

– START (Strategic Arms Reduction Talks) attempted to nuclear warheads – 2/3 of USSR and ½ of USA to be destroyed – USA always maintained superiority – unsuccessful until Gorbachev came in 1985 as leader - March 26, The "New START Treaty" - a successor to the 1991 Treaty on the Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms, limits each country to 1,550 warheads, including intercontinental and submarine- launched ballistic missiles, a 30% reduction in the number of warheads permitted in an earlier agreement, the Moscow Treaty of American Dominance allowed the re- occurrence of Détente negotiations in the late 1980s under Gorbachev and Reagan – INF Treaty in 1987 The 1991 START Treaty signed by then president George H.W. Bush and Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev
