The Cold War "The Soviet Union does not have to attack the United States to secure domination of the world. It can achieve its ends by isolating us and swallowing up all our allies." H.S. Truman

Post WWII Two superpowers arose with two drastically different viewpoints. ? Capitalist Democracy Communism

Capitalist Democracy vs. Communism

So what the heck is Communism? A system of government in which the state plans and controls the economy and a single, party holds power, in which all goods are equally shared by the people.

Capitalist Democracy vs. Communism Private citizens control almost all economic activity Free market economy, more variety Freedom of speech Government officials elected by the public Multi party system State controls all property Government controlled businesses, less variety, and no competition You can not criticize the government Restricted Facebook pages Totalitarian Government and no opposing parties Some videogames are outlawed! What!

2 conflicting ideas

Is Communism so bad? What are some good aspects of Communism? ?

Post WWII United Nations, April 25, 1945 This created a global peace keeping organization. Ironically the United States and the Soviet Union used the UN as a forum to compete and spend their influence.

The Potsdam Conference The US, Britain, and Russia meet July of 1945. This was the final wartime conference. US President Truman wanted USSR occupied countries in Eastern Europe to have free elections Stalin disagreed, he banned free elections in Eastern Europe. “The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything." Stalin

Different Views U.S. Wanted to rebuild European governments that allowed free elections Wanted to rebuild Germany Wanted access to raw materials to continue U.S. growth USSR Wanted to encourage Communism in other countries Wanted to keep Germany weak so it would never threaten the Soviet Union Wanted to control Eastern Europe to balance U.S. influence in Western Europe
