Why would the Soviet Union want a border between them and western Europe?

QUESTION. Where do we get the term “Iron Curtain”?

The Cold War Soon after World War II, something needed to be done to stop the USSR… \ \ George F. Kennan In February 1946, Kennan drafted the “Long Telegram”. The USSR was “ruthlessly expansionary” but also timid and careful.

QUESTION. THINKING AHEAD TO UNDERSTAND THE PAST. Can one ever truly stop the spread of an idea?

The Cold War Kennan’s Solution to the Soviet Threat of expansion? “Firm and vigilant containment” was needed. Containment would be the key to fighting in the Cold War. What would happen if we failed to contain communism? The Domino Theory would occur.

The Cold War How would President Truman stop the spread of communism? 1. The Truman Doctrine (March 1947) 2. The Marshall Plan (Summer 1947)

QUESTION. What did the Soviets want for the future of Germany? What did the western powers want for the future of Germany?

The Berlin Blockade What did the Soviet Union do in response to this unification? June 1948: Blockaded all access to West Berlin from West Germany. Why does this matter? Containment is being tested. If the west does not respond? West Berlin falls.

QUESTION. What should the United States do: Fight the Soviets or abandon West Berlin?

The Berlin Blockade What did the Soviet Union do? Blockaded all waterway, highway, and rail transport to West Berlin. Why does this matter? Containment is being tested. If the west does not respond? West Berlin has to turn to the USSR for assistance from supplies What does the United States do? The Berlin AirliftFor 327 days, over 277,000 flights brought more than 2.3 million tons of supplies into West Berlin causing the Soviets to back down in USA – 1 USSR – 0
