PERIOD 8: 1945-1980 - Key Concepts
After World War II, the United States grappled with prosperity and unfamiliar international responsibilities, while struggling
to live up to its ideals.
Key Concept 1: The United States responded to an uncertain and unstable postwar world by asserting and attempting
to defend a position of global leadership, with far-reaching domestic and international consequences.
I.
After World War II, the United States sought to stem the growth of Communist military power and ideological influence,
create a stable global economy, and build an international security system.
 The United States developed a foreign policy based on collective security and a multilateral economic framework that
bolstered noncommunist nations.
 The United States sought to “contain” Soviet-dominated communism through a variety of measures, including military
engagements in Korea and Vietnam.
 The Cold War fluctuated between periods of direct and indirect military confrontation and periods of mutual
coexistence (or détente).
II.
As the United States focused on containing communism, it faced increasingly complex foreign policy issues including
decolonization, shifting international alignments and regional conflicts, and global economic and environmental changes.
 Postwar decolonization and the emergence of powerful nationalist movements in Asia, Africa and the Middle East led
both sides in the Cold War to seek allies among new nations, many of which remained nonaligned.
 Cold War competition extended to Latin America, where the U.S. supported noncommunist regimes with varying levels
of commitment to democracy.
 Ideological, military and economic concerns shaped U.S. involvement in the Middle East, with several oil crises in the
region eventually sparking attempts at creating a national energy policy.
III. Cold War policies led to continued public debates over the power of the federal government, acceptable means for pursuing
international and domestic goals, and the proper balance between liberty and order.
 Americans debated policies and methods designed to root out communists within the United States even as both parties
tended to support the broader Cold War strategy of containing communism.
 While the Korean conflict produced some minor domestic opposition, the Vietnam War saw the rise of sizable,
passionate and sometimes violent antiwar protests that became more numerous as the war escalated.
 Americans debated the merits of a large nuclear arsenal, the “military-industrial complex,” and the appropriate power
of the executive branch in conducting foreign and military policy.
Key Concept 2: Liberalism, based on anticommunism abroad and a firm belief in the efficacy of governmental and
especially federal power to achieve social goals at home, reached its apex in the mid-1960s and generated a variety of
political and cultural responses.
I.
Seeking to fulfill Reconstruction-era promises, civil rights activists and political leaders achieved some legal and political
successes in ending segregation, although progress toward equality was slow and halting.
 Following World War II, civil rights activists utilized a variety of strategies – legal challenges, direct action, and
nonviolent protest tactics –to combat racial discrimination.
 Decision-makers in each of the three branches of the federal government used measures including desegregation of the
armed services, Brown vs. Board of Education and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to promote greater racial justice.

II.
Continuing white resistance slowed efforts at desegregation, sparking a series of social and political crises across the
nation, while tensions among civil rights activists over tactical and philosophical issues increased after 1965.
Stirred by a growing awareness of inequalities in American society and by the African American civil rights movement,
activists also addressed issues of identity and social justice, such as gender/sexuality and ethnicity.
 Activists began to question society’s assumptions about gender and to call for social and economic equality for women
and for gays and lesbians.
 Latinos, American Indians and Asian Americans began to demand social and economic equality and a redress of past
injustices.
 Despite the perception of overall affluence in postwar America, advocates raised awareness of the prevalence and
persistence of poverty as a national problem, sparking efforts to address this issue.
III. As many liberal principles came to dominate postwar politics and court decisions, liberalism came under attack from the left
as well as from resurgent conservative movements.
 Liberalism reached its zenith with Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society efforts to use federal power to end racial
discrimination, eliminate poverty and address other social issues while attacking communism abroad.
 Liberal ideals were realized in Supreme Court decisions that expanded democracy and individual freedoms, Great
Society social programs and policies, and the expanded power of the federal government, yet these unintentionally
helped energize a new conservative movement that mobilized to defend traditional visions of morality and the proper
role of state authority.
 Groups on the left also assailed liberals, claiming they did too little to transform the racial and economic status quo at
home and pursued immoral policies abroad.
Key Concept 8.3: Postwar economic, demographic and technological changes had far-reaching impacts on American
society, politics, and the environment.
I.
Rapid economic and social changes in American society fostered a sense of optimism in the postwar years as well as
underlying concerns about how these changes were affecting American values.
 A burgeoning private sector, continued federal spending, the “baby boom” and technological developments helped spur
economic growth, middle-class suburbanization, social mobility, a rapid expansion of higher education, and the rise of
the “Sun Belt” as a political and economic force.
 These economic and social changes, in addition to the anxiety engendered by the Cold War, led to an increasingly
homogeneous mass culture, as well as challenges to conformity by artists, intellectuals, and rebellious youth.
 Conservatives, fearing juvenile delinquency, urban unrest, and challenges to the traditional family, increasingly
promoted their own values and ideology.
II.
As federal programs expanded and economic growth reshaped American society, many sought greater access to prosperity
even as critics began to question the burgeoning use of natural resources.
 Internal migrants as well as migrants from around the world sought access to the economic boom and other benefits of
the United States, especially after the passage of new immigration laws in 1965.
 Responding to the abuse of natural resources and alarming environmental problems, activists and legislators began to
call for conservation measures and a fight against pollution.
III. New demographic and social issues led to significant political and moral debates that sharply divided the nation.
 Although the image of the traditional nuclear family dominated popular perceptions in the postwar era, Americans’
family structure was undergoing profound changes as the number of working women increased and many social
attitudes changed.
 Young people who participated in the counterculture of the 1960s rejected many of the social, economic and political
values of their parents’ generation, initiated a sexual revolution, and introduced greater informality into U.S. culture.
 Conservatives and liberals clashed over many new social issues, the power of the presidency and the federal
government, and movements for greater individual rights.
