Buffer zone of ‘satellite states’. Tension. The Truman doctrine. Originally to help Greece and Turkey (Communist pressure) led to the ‘Marshall plan’. The Russians competed with ‘Comecon’

3 THE BERLIN BLOCKADE 1948. Case Study 1.

4 Causes. At Yalta and Potsdam Germany divided into zones. So was Berlin. These were supposed to be temporary. USSR wanted revenged and stripped its zone. The Allies did not want another Versailles and wanted a strong ally

5 Course. When the Allies introduced the Deutschmark the Russians cut off routes to Berlin. Russians hoping Allies would leave Berlin The Berlin Airlift. 3 air corridors. Plane landing every 90 seconds. People suffered. After 11 months May 1949 blockade lifted

13 THE CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS Case Study 3:

14 Causes US backed Batista dictatorship. US industry and sugar plantations. 1959 Castro’s communist revolution nationalised the above. US sanctions = Khrushchev + USSR bought Cuban sugar and sold weapons. Kennedy and CIA = Bay of Pigs failure.

15 The Crisis 1962 U2 photographed Soviet missile bases under construction in Cuba Kennedy’s blockade. Very close to war. Army and Airforce urge Kennedy to destroy Cuba. Communications with Kruschev confused. Closest world has come to Nuclear war. USSR agreed to dismantle bases

16 Results: Both sides took measures to prevent nuclear war 1963 US missile bases in Turkey dismantled ‘hotline’ set up Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (above ground)

17 The Cold War Comes to an End 1985 Gorbachev comes to power. Wanted to reform communism so the people would be better off. ‘Perestroika’ (reconstruction) and Glastnost (openness) He wanted to cut military spending and made agreements with Reagan and Bush (snr) to scrap thousands of nuclear missiles. Gorbachev’s promise not to use force to prevent democracy in eastern Europe led to the collapse of communism in East Germany and other countries 1989 Berlin Wall came down 1990 Germany reunited The USSR began to break up
