Chapter 18, Section 3.

The United States and the Soviet Union fought a series of proxy wars The United States and the Soviet Union fought a series of proxy wars. A proxy war occurs when two powers in conflict use substitutes instead of fighting each other directly. Armed with devastating nuclear arsenals, neither the United States nor the Soviet Union wanted to fight each other directly.

The Soviet Union and the United States each sent military support to prevent the other side from expanding its influence in both Korea and Vietnam.

In August 1945, the Soviet Union and the United States agreed to divide Korea into two zones at the 38th parallel. Communist North Korean troops invaded South Korea. President Harry S. Truman sent U.S. troops to repel the invaders. Greatly alarmed, the Chinese sent hundreds of thousands of troops into North Korea.

In 1959 a left-wing revolutionary named Fidel Castro overthrew the Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista and set up a Soviet-supported totalitarian regime in Cuba. Kennedy approved a CIA plan in which exiled Cuban fighters would invade Cuba at the Bay of Pigs. It failed miserably.

In 1962 Khrushchev began to place nuclear missiles in Cuba, to counteract U.S. nuclear weapons placed in Turkey. Kennedy decided to blockade Cuba. Khrushchev agreed to turn back the fleet and remove Soviet missiles from Cuba if Kennedy pledged not to invade Cuba.

The two superpowers could now communicate quickly in times of crisis. The Cuban missile crisis seemed to bring the world frighteningly close to nuclear war. A hotline communications system between Moscow and Washington, D.C., was installed in 1963. The two superpowers could now communicate quickly in times of crisis.

Most European nations gave up their colonies, but France refused to let go of Indochina. Leading the struggle against France was the local Communist Party, headed by Ho Chi Minh. Vietnam was divided into two parts. In the north were the Communists, based in Hanoi; in the south, the non-Communists, based in Saigon.

President Lyndon Johnson, inspired by the sent troops to South Vietnam to keep the Communist regime of North Vietnam from gaining control of South Vietnam.

Domino Theory: the idea that if one country falls to communism, neighboring countries will also fall.

The growing number of American troops in Vietnam soon produced an antiwar movement in the United States, especially among college students of draft age. President Johnson, condemned for his handling of the costly and indecisive war, decided not to run for reelection.

President Richard Nixon reached an agreement with North Vietnam in the Paris Peace Accords that allowed the United States to withdraw its forces. Within two years, the Communists took total control.
