2 Background: After WW II, the US and USSR emerged as rival superpowers. Each nation was strong enough to greatly influence world events.

We are the champions US had biggest navy Best equipped army and air force Only country with atom bomb Unchallenged leader of the world 3

4 Potsdam Conference July 1945 Final wartime conference Big Three England = Attlee USA = Truman USSR = Stalin Stalin promised to allow free elections in Eastern Europe

5 Satellite Nations… Stalin never allowed truly free elections. Instead, communist governments were installed in many Eastern European nations. Main Purpose? Protect USSR from invasion from the West

6 Containment Policy George Kennan, career Foreign Service Officer Formulated the policy of “containment”: US would not get rid of communism, but would not allow it to spread. US would “contain” communism where is already existed.

7 The Iron Curtain Winston Churchill coined this term. Famous speech on March 5, 1946 at Westminster College, in Fulton, Missouri. CLICK for text and video of speech CLICK for text and video of speech

9 Churchill’s Warning… Churchill felt that behind the Iron Curtain, the USSR was planning to attack and conquer Western Europe.

10 Division of Germany The Allies decided to divide Germany into 4 zones after the war. Also, the capital of Berlin was divided into 4 sectors. SEE next 2 slides

13 Problem with Berlin? Berlin was in the Soviet Sector. Stalin was not happy with a “small piece” of democracy in Eastern Europe. What did he do?

14 Berlin Blockade June 1948, Stalin attempts to starve West Berliners into submission. All rail and street access was blocked.

15 Berlin Airlift American and British planes flew food and supplies into Berlin for 327 days. Stalin lifted the Blockade by May 1949.

18 Operation “Little Vittles” dropped candy to German children using parachutes made of handkerchiefs to boost their spirits.

19 North Atlantic Treaty Organization NATO was established by a treaty in 1949 Established a system of collective/mutal defense. Original members were: United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, France, Denmark, Iceland, Italy, Norway, Portugal, Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg. Greece (1952), West Germany (1955) join also

20 The Warsaw Pact Communist Response to NATO. Signed on May 1, 1955 in Warsaw, Poland Military treaty binding signers to fight for each other. Original Members: Albania, Bulgaria, Hungary, East Germany, Poland, Rumania, the USSR, and Czechoslovakia

To do Yalta/Potsdam Activity 22

23 Cold War in Asia

24 Struggle for China Mao Zedong wanted China to become a communist state after WW II. Chang Kai Shek fought to stop the communists but was unsuccessful.

25 Communist China 1949

26 T aiwan Chiang Kai-shek, retreated from Mainland China and moved his government from Nanjing to Taipei, Taiwan's largest city. Taiwan made a claim they were separate from China. Still a problem area today.

27 Cold War in America ( ) Was there reason to be concerned? YES ! Soviet domination of Eastern Europe China turned Communist – 1 billion people! 80,000 Americans members of Communist party

28 Loyalty Review Board Set up by President Truman in March Purpose? Investigate Federal government employees and dismiss those disloyal to US 212 dismissed

29 House on Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) 1947= House of Representatives Investigate Communist influence in the movie industry

30 ‘Hollywood Ten’ 10 Hollywood screenwriters and directors who refused to testify before HUAC. Charged with contempt of Congress. Claimed 1 st Amendment right of free speech

31 Blacklisted Following a meeting of film industry executives at New York's Waldorf- Astoria hotel, MPAA president Johnston issued a press release on the executives' behalf that is today referred to as the Waldorf Statement. The statement declared that the ten would be fired or suspended without pay and not reemployed until they were cleared of contempt charges and had sworn that they were not Communists. The first Hollywood blacklist was now in effect.

32 Spy Cases Shock US During the late 1940s and early 1950s, America was rocked by sensational stories of Americans spying for the Soviet Union.

33 Alger Hiss Hiss worked for the US State Department. Accused of being a spy for the USSR. Found guilty of perjury. Later (1990s) Hiss was proven to be a spy for the USSR.

34 The Rosenbergs American Communists who were found guilty of conspiracy to commit espionage in relation to passing information on the American nuclear bomb to the Soviet Union. The couple were executed at sundown in the electric chair at Sing Sing Correctional Facility in Ossining, New York, on June 19, 1953.

35 McCarthyism Senator Joe McCarthy became the most famous anti- Communist activist. Used the issue to help win re-election in 1950.

36 McCarthy’s Tactics Made one unsupported accusation after another. He would bully witnesses. McCarthyism = tactics used to advance your career.

37 McCarthy’s Downfall In 1954 McCarthy made accusations against the US Army. Led to televised Senate investigation; and American people did not like McCarthy’s tactics. His popularity dropped greatly.

38 Change in Leaders The early 1950s saw a change in leaders in both the US and USSR. USA = Dwight Eisenhower wins the election of USSR = Nikita Khruschev takes over when Stalin dies in 1953.

39 Hydrogen Bomb US exploded the 1st H- bomb on November 1, 1952 in South Pacific. That bomb completely destroyed one island and left a crater 175 feet deep. Russians exploded on in August of 1953.

41 Brinkmanship Defined as willingness to push nation to the “brink” of nuclear war to keep peace. Policy advocated by John Foster Dulles; Secretary of State.

42 Central Intelligence Agency - CIA Used spies to gather information abroad Began to carry out covert operations to weaken or overthrow governments unfriendly to the United States.

43 Iran One of the CIAs first covert actions tool place in Iran when Iran’s Prime minister Mohammed Mossadegh nationalized Iran’s oil fields. CIA worked to remove Mossadegh

44 Shah of Iran CIA “Operation Ajax” caused the downfall of Mossadegh from office. The Shah, backed by the US, formed a government friendly to the US.

45 Suez War Egypt nationalized the Suez Canal and would not allow ships headed for Israel to pass through – all nations were supposed to have access. French, English, Israeli force attacked Egypt. After discussion, canal was opened.

46 Hungarian Uprising 1956 The Hungarian people, tired of Soviet domination in their country, rose in revolt and called for a democratic government. The Soviet response was swift and brutal:

47 USSR Crushes Rebellion Soviet tanks rolled into Hungary and killed 30,000 Hungarians and executed the resistance leader – Imre Nagy. US and UN did nothing to help.

48 Space Race On October 4, 1957 the Soviet Union successfully launched Sputnik I. The world's first artificial satellite was about the size of a beach ball. Orbited the earth in 98 minutes. Race to control space was on!

49 U-2 Incident U-2 was designed to be high altitude reconnaissance plane. CIA used these to spy on USSR and one was shot down on May 1, 1960.

50 Francis Gary Powers Recruited by CIA to fly spy missions. Shot down in U2 over USSR and convicted of espionage. Exchanged for a KGB colonel the US had captured.

51 Conclusion… Moving into the 1960’s, the Cold War was really starting to heat up with no end in sight. The Cold War will continue in the 1960s with the world moving closer to an open conflict between the US and USSR.
