14. ASIA HISTORICAL UNDERSTANDINGS

15. ASIA HISTORICAL UNDERSTANDINGS
The Soviet Union wanted to be sure the new countries created in eastern Europe were friendly to the Soviet Union. As a result they worked to be sure each of the new countries was a communist government. The United States was angry and saw this as breaking the promises of the Yalta Agreement.

16. ASIA HISTORICAL UNDERSTANDINGS
Though fighting from WWII was over, the United States and the Soviet Union found themselves engaged in a Cold War (no actual fighting). The U. S. and the Soviets competed with each other to get as many governments aligned with them as they could around the world. (Democracy vs. Communism)

17. ASIA HISTORICAL UNDERSTANDINGS

22. ASIA HISTORICAL UNDERSTANDINGS
Over two million North Korean people died of starvation during the famine of the 1990’s. North Korea remains the ally of other communist countries, primarily the People’s Republic of China.

23. ASIA HISTORICAL UNDERSTANDINGS
