The Cold War 1945-1961 Truman & Eisenhower

What is the Cold War?? Why did it happen? A state of political hostility between countries characterized by threats, propaganda, and other measures short of open warfare Fueled by the threat of aggressively expanding Communist ideology 1945-1991 *We had 9 Presidents during that time!

Yalta Conference (February 1945) Divide Germany into 4 zones of occupation Creation of United Nations USSR will join war against Japan Free elections in eastern European countries

Cold War in Europe “From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the continent.” NATO formed in 1949 (USSR had Warsaw Pact)

Early Espionage… Truman creates CIA & NSA Julius & Ethel Rosenberg Alger Hiss Claude Fuchs 1949- Soviets get “the bomb”

“Containment Policy” George Kennan (1946) In places where communism threatened to expand, American aid might prevent a takeover. We could “contain” communism. Becomes central part of Truman Doctrine Economic or military intervention…

Truman Doctrine US is compelled to assist “free peoples” in their struggles against “totalitarian regimes,” because the spread of authoritarianism would “undermine the foundations of international peace and hence the security of the United States.” United States would provide political, military and economic assistance to all democratic nations under threat from external or internal authoritarian forces

Marshall Plan Also known as the European Recovery Program, $13 billion ($130b) to finance the economic recovery of Europe between 1948 and 1951.

A Divided Germany (& divided Berlin…) Stalin refuses to give up Soviet parts…leading to East Germany. (Allies’ part becomes West Germany) People begin fleeing to West Berlin to escape communism Stalin instituted a blockade of the city, cutting off all supplies

Truman says “We will stay.” Allies bring in 2.3 million tons of cargo

Cold War in the Middle East Holocaust increased support for Jewish nation In 1948, w/ UN support Israel is created Truman recognizes the new nation, many Arab nations don’t (Soviets start supporting those nations)

The Cold War in Asia In 1949 China turns “red”. Truman is accused of “losing” China. In 1950, North Korea crosses 38th parallel into South Korea. The UN comes to South’s aid. Truman chooses Gen. MacArthur to lead efforts there. We almost lose, then almost win, then almost lose, then end up back where we started… (3 years & 53,000 dead Americans later) Truman fires MacArthur because he tries to take over and run things differently than President says (this is actually a BIG deal!!!) Why?
