• Cold War Beginnings:
• After World War II, although an international organization (the United Nations)
was formed to ensure global peace and prosperity, that did not always happen.
• Germany would remain divided between a Soviet-influenced East Germany and
a western-influenced West Germany.
• Europe itself would be divided into the Eastern bloc, dominated by the Soviet
Union, and the Western bloc, tied to the United States.
Cold War
Explained
&2 hot spots
• The Cold war was a period of hostility between the United
States and the Soviet Union without any direct military
conflict. This war of competing ideas would last for decades.
• 2 Proxy wars: (wars where neither country ever came in
direct contact with the other.) : the U.S. and Soviet Union
were both involved in supporting Capitalism or communism
• 1. in the Korean War of 1950-1953
• 2. the Vietnam War of 1965-1973.
• The Western bloc and the United States
created NATO in 1949.
• NATO: military alliance primarily for
discouraging the Soviet Union from aggression
in Europe.
• The USSR used their military force
twice/stopped uprisings in Hungary (1952) &
Czechoslovakia (1968)those countries were
revolting for democracy)
Different strokes:
• During the Cold War there were differences with the
Soviets and the United States both politically &
economically, US followed: Capitalism; USSR:
Communism.
• To maintain control of Eastern Europe, or the Eastern
bloc, the Soviets in 1955 created the Warsaw Pact, a
military alliance that tied Russia with other soviet
nations.
• the USSR also brought nations under its control in
eastern Europe and made them into satellite nations.
The main purpose of them was to create a buffer to
protect themselves against invasion from the west.
Aid PLans
• The United States, as the leader of the nonCommunist world, developed the Truman
Doctrine to aid countries threatened by
Communist takeover.
• In addition, just after WW2, the United States
also created the Marshall Plan to help Western
Europe’s democratic nations rebuild their
economies. (USA spent $14 billion rebuilding
Western Europe’s economy).
Anti-comm measures:
• The cold war affected American politics during
the 1950s, :
• concerns arose about Communist influences
in American government and society.
• we held: McCarthy Hearings accusing people
without evidence:

accused but refused to testify in front of
