POTSDAM (Germany) Date: July 1945 Present: Churchill, Truman and Stalin

Divided Germany Iron Curtain – A term used by Winston Churchill to describe the separating of Those communist lands of East Europe from the West. Divided Germany

Improve your knowledge Divided Berlin Improve your knowledge The Russians took very high casualties to capture Berlin in May 1945. They spent the early occupation trying to take over all zones of the city but were stopped by German democrats such as Willy Brandt and Konrad Adenauer. Reluctantly the Russians had to admit the Americans, French and British to their respective zones.

Berlin Wall Berlin is Germany’s capital city. The Soviets built the wall to keep communists from escaping to the American sector.

Berlin Wall Berlin Wall

Wall torn down in 1989.

Improve your knowledge The nuclear bomb gave America a lead which was expected to last at least 5 years. The rapid Russian development of nuclear technology, helped by the work of the “atom spies” was a shock. Significantly, Russia hurriedly declared war against Japan at the beginning of August 1945 and rushed to advance into Asia to stake out a position for the post-war settlement. This helped make both the Korean and Vietnamese conflicts more likely.

Marshall Plan USA’s plan to send food, blankets, fuel to Europe to help them. AND to keep them from turning communist.

Berlin blockade led to Berlin Airlift

Space Race The USA and the Soviet Union raced as the world watched to be the first to conquer space.

1957 Sputnik – first satellite Score 1 for Soviets!

First man in space Score: USA – 0 Soviets - 2

Apollo program USA spent the 60s trying to catch up to the Soviets.

Armstrong lands on moon! What is the purpose of a space program?

Nuclear Missiles!

Truman Doctrine The Truman Doctrine in March 1947 promised that the USA “would support free peoples who are resisting” communism. This led to containment – policy of containing communism where it is.

Communism spreads like a disease Domino Theory Communism spreads like a disease

Korea and Vietnam USA tried to contain communism. In both wars, communist troops fought armies trained and funded by the USA.

Communists invaded from the north Communists invaded from the north. China sent a million troops to help reds.

Korean War After the failure of the promise of Korean independence by the Allied nations, on June 25, 1950, communist North Korean troops invaded South Korea. Poorly armed, the South Koreans were no match for the North. The United Nations ordered North Korea to withdraw its troops. General MacArthur was appointed to command all UN troops in Korea. After three years of fighting a stalemate, more than 54,000 American troops perished.

What is the United Nations?

United Nations International Organization where countries try to find peaceful solutions

United Nations It has no army but uses troops from other countries.

Vietnam War 1960s-1973 Through the Kennedy years, US troops trained S. Vietnamese troops to fight the Reds. After the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, under LBJ, US troops started to fight more.

Vietnam, 1968

Helicopters!

Napalm!

Seeing this on TV led to a loss of support at home

Hippie bashing!!!

Hippies/Anti-war

Meanwhile. . . After Korea and before Vietnam got really bad, America felt there was a problem closer to home.

Bay of Pigs The CIA trained and funded an invasion of communist Cuba. The invasion failed, and Castro had some powerful friends!

Soviet response. Don’t worry comrade Castro. We got your back!

A U2 spy plane found these missile silos in Cuba, 1962.

Kennedy Khrushchev

People built more bomb shelters.

End to a crisis! The Soviets removed the missiles in Cuba. In exchange, USA pledged to not invade Cuba again. And to remove missiles in Turkey (right).

Afterward A direct phone line was set up between their offices to bypass other channels.

November 22, 1963 LBJ took the Presidency JFK was shot in Dallas

How did the USA try to contain communism?

Marshall Plan – helped countries economically so they won’t go red.

Helped anti-communist troops

Embargoes Refusing to trade or aid countries in order to punish them

Cuba embargo Still today, the USA has an economic embargo on communist Cuba. Their only cars are from before the embargo!

Castro is still alive!
