Cold War under Eisenhower G w.youtube.com/watc h?v=DkvfcA lujZ0 w.youtube.com/watc h?v=DkvfcA lujZ0 G w.youtube.com/watc h?v=DkvfcA lujZ0 w.youtube.com/watc h?v=DkvfcA lujZ0 After USSR tests their own atomic bomb, US creates better bomb Nov. 1952, US has thermonuclear bomb, 800X more powerful than Hiroshima bomb USSR steals these plans too Arms Race begins when Ike and Dulles stockpile nukes and implement brinksmanship

Ike and the CIA  Ike came to rely on CIA for information  CIA given lots of leeway to operate  1953-Iran  1954-Guatamala

Ike and Khrushchev  1953, Stalin dies, Khrushchev takes over USSR  Seemed less oppressive than Stalin  Things don’t change that much between the super powers:

No Real Change  1955 Germany rearms and joins NATO  Warsaw Pact created

 1955 Geneva Summit  1 st US-USSR meeting since WWII  Ike proposes Open Skies Policy  Nothing gets done

 1956 Middle East Crisis  Egypt seizes Suez Canal  France, Great Britain and Israel invade Egypt  USSR threatens nuclear strike, UN intervenes  This leads to Eisenhower Doctrine

 1956 Hungarian Rebellion  Students protest  Red Army moves in and kills 30,000 protesters

Cold War and Technology  US felt they were superior to USSR  US shocked in October 1957 when USSR launches Sputnik I  After failures, US launches its own satellite in 1958  Space Race has begun

The U2 Incident  Summer of 1992, me and my friends went to the U2 concert  I sat in the last row of the stadium  My friend threw a guy’s shirt out of the stadium

The Real U2 Incident  US started flying missions in 1955  Since 1958, USSR knew about it  Ike wanted out, Dulles pushed for more flights  US caught in lie when Powers U2 is shot/crashes down inside USSR

 Powers fails to do his job and he and his plane are captured  1960 US-USSR Summit is ruined due to this
