The Home Front – USA/USSR Lesson starter: Summarise the Berlin Blockade and Airlift. Today we will understand what was happening at home in both countries – the USA and USSR

After WWII, the USSR had been destroyed by Nazi invasion USA lost soldiers but their mainland was largely untouched Today we will look at the problems that each of the superpowers had at home

USA Protests and strikes in car, steel and manufacturing industries – workers wanted higher wages Inflation – prices rising quickly (12 eggs were 33cents in 1940, 72 cents in 1948) Unemployment – especially returning soldiers (black soldiers in particular) Racial discrimination widespread – protests etc Women unhappy – had worked during war years and now were expected to go back to being housewives

Detroit 1940s

USSR 20 million Russian citizens dead after WW2 (10% of population) 2,000 cities and towns destroyed Farms, factories, villages wrecked Huge unemployment, homelessness and starvation Ruled by dictator Stalin (who was very old) Opponents of Stalin ‘disappeared’ Ordinary people forbidden to travel outside USSR or make contact with anyone outside

BUT….compared to other nations they were in a better position Huge amounts of land Huge populations & workers Valuable resources – water, timber, petrol, iron, coal Invested in education –free in USSR, grants given to war veterans in USA Both rebuilt their economies (although very differently)

Both built up huge armies and navies This was expensive but created jobs – allowing economy to grow Each nation developed their own ideology CAPITALISM/COMMUNISM They both used propaganda to ‘prove’ to their people that their way was the best What did they have in common?
