Presentation transcript:

“With the end of WWII, America found itself the richest and most powerful country in the world. But almost as soon as the “hot war” was over, it was replaced by a tense and perilous “cold war”. This was not just a struggle among nations, but between the political ideologies of capitalism and communism. It would last for 50 years and at times get very “warm”

Other names for the USSR: -The Soviets -Kremlin (USSR’s capitol building) -Moscow (USSR’s capital city) -Names we call them behind their back -The Reds -The Commies

Topic: 1.) What happened at the Yalta Conference in February 1945? 2.) How did this conference cause conflict between the USA and USSR

WWII Military Casualties Heading into the Yalta Conference, how are the Soviets going to feel?

Churchill England FDR America Stalin USSR

1.) Created United Nations - Permanent most Powerful nations in UN? - USA - England - France - USSR - China GOAL: What to do with Europe once the Nazis are defeated 2.) Declaration of Liberated Europe: Allies agreed to allow all European nations choose their own government Tension #1: What if these nations “chose” communism!!

3.) What to do with Poland? -Allies couldn’t agree, USSR wants Poland as a buffer zone. (it’s in- between Germany and the Russians) -Compromise = Poland will be free, but Soviets will help them hold their elections -Stalin ends up cheating, Poland becomes communist Tension #2: Communism is Spreading to Other nations!!!

GOAL: What to do with Europe once the Nazis are defeated 4.) What to do with Germany? -Allies couldn’t agree -Compromise = Spilt Germany into 4 parts -1 part = USA control -1 part = France control -1 part = British control -1 part = USSR control

WEST Germany EAST Germany WEST Berlin EAST Berlin

GOAL: What to do with Europe once the Nazis are defeated 5.) USSR agrees to help fight Japan -As long as they get more land & money Tension #4: We DO NOT want to owe The Soviets a Favor!!

Topic: 1.) What happened at the Potsdam Conference in July 1945? 2.) How did this conference cause conflict between the USA and USSR

Churchill England TRUMAN America Stalin USSR

THE IRON CURTAIN USSR’s Team: Warsaw Pact Communist Eastern World USA’s Team: NATO Capitalist (Free) Western World

USA's Plan to Stop Communism is called Containment 1.) Truman Doctrine = USA will come to the aid of any nation who's government is being pressured by an outside nation. 2.) Marshall Plan = USA will send money/food/supplies to help European nations recover from the war. 3.) The rest is in tonight’s homework = The Long Telegram

The Long Telegram – Homework: Read the Telegram and answer the following questions 1.) Describe how Stalin feels about Capitalist nations. Why does he think capitalism must be destroyed? 2.) What are Kennan's views of the Soviet people? Why does he say the USSR's government is "neurotic"? 3.) Kennan outlines the USSR’s plan to combat our influence in the world…outline it. 4.) He also offers the US advice in how to contain the influence of communism in the world…outline it.

The Cold War is on!
