Presentation transcript:

The Berlin Wall - At 2 a.m. on Aug. 13, 1961, a low, barbed-wire barrier was strung between East and West Berlin. It effectively divided the city in half. - East Germans were very poor and many were moving to West Germany. - The Soviets built a wall to prevent East Germans from slipping into the West. - This project almost launched the world into a nuclear conflict

The Soviet Union: Rise and Fall Chapter 20 (Sec. 4) The Soviet Union: Rise and Fall -After WWII, the USSR emerged as a superpower - Stalin increased the Soviet sphere of influence across Europe

Nikita Khrushchev - emerged as the new Soviet leader in 1956 - began a policy of de-Stalinization: free political prisoners, and reduced censorship - wanted the US and USSR to "peacefully coexistence"

Leonid Brezhnev - lead the USSR from the mid 1960's - 1982 - locked up dissidents (people who spoke out against the government) - turned back to Stalin type policies

Successes in the Soviet Union - government poured money into weapons and science - launched the first satellite into orbit in 1957 (Sputnik) - also put the first man into space - low rent, cheap bread free health care, day care for children, low unemployment

Soviet Foreign Policy - Stalin asserted control over Easter Europe - Khrushchev set up the Warsaw Pact in 1955

Developing countries - the USSR sought to win friends in developing nations - they offered these nations economic and military support (Cuba and other nations in Latin America) - this policy eventually led to armed conflict

Soviets backed North Korea = Korean War (1950-53) Soviets backed North Vietnam =Vietnam War (1963-73) 1961 - Berlin Wall is constructed 1962 - Cuban Missile Crisis 1979 - Soviets invade Afghanistan (this war drained the Soviet economy)

Collapse of the Soviet Union 1985 - Mikhail Gorbachev comes to power in - sought to end cold war tensions with the US - pulled Soviet troops out of Afghanistan - signed arms control treaties with the US Glasnost - policy of openness Perestroika - restructuring of the government - these reforms brought economic chaos: prices soared and the Soviet "Ruble" became worthless

1991: The Soviet Union Breaks up - Estonia. Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, East Germany, Romania, Bulgaria break away from the USSR - coup attempts to over throw Gorbachev, he resigns - after 74 years, the Soviet Union ceased to exist

Russia - had been the largest of the Soviet nations - Boris Yeltsin became President of Russia - the country was in disarray - organized crime flourished - economically Russia collapsed, could not pay its soldiers

Chechnya - Russian province that attempted to break away in 1994, turned into a major armed conflict

Russia Today 2000 - Vladimir Putin is elected President (former head of the Soviet secret police KGB)

Deterrence The policy of making America and its allies so militarily strong that it would deter (discourage, prevent) any attack.
