Presentation transcript:

The crisis was costly – in human and financial terms 79 GB & US pilots were killed in accidents It did end ill feeling between Germany & the USA (now friendly!) Dashed all hopes of uniting Berlin

1949 – the Western Zones came together as West Germany Known as Federal Republic of Germany With free elections & democratic Govt USSR responded – East Germany was changed to: German Democratic Republic – which had Communist Govt (1990)

The Berlin blockade scared the British 10 days after it started the Brits opened talks with the USA These discussions led in 1949 to the foundation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)

MEMBERS INC: MEMBERS INC: US, Canada, GB, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Iceland, Luxembourg, Italy, Norway, Denmark & Portugal – Greece & Turkey joined 1955 – West Germany joined All members agreed – if one of them was attacked – they would all protect that country.

NATO – meant a permanent presence in Europe for the US army. NATO command – in Paris Stalin saw NATO as an act of war and sped up his own nuclear deterrent against the West – a Soviet Atomic Bomb (1950)

The Japanese had occupied Korea from 1910 – 1945 After WWII the country was divided in two (38 th Parallel) Soviet forces occupied the North US forces occupied the South This division was meant to be temporary.

In the North – a communist state was set up under Kim il Sung In the south there were elections = an anti communist military Govt was set up - led by Syngman Rhee Each side claimed to be the Govt of ALL Korea

1. CONTAINMENT - push back Communism 2. DOMINO THEORY – if South Korea fall, Japan and others could be next

1949 – NATO formed – US gave aid to Japan North Korea asked Stalin’s permission to attack the South He gave the North aid & military equipment – but never got involved directly JUNE 1950 – The North invaded the South

North Korean Army = NKPA North was successful at first – most of the south fell The South asked the U.N for helped – they did – as USSR was boycotting meetings & China wasn’t allowed to join

16 nations headed by the USA first went Later the number doubled to 32 countries The North were driven back to China and their resistance collapsed

In Nov 1950 China sent 200,000 ‘volunteers’ to help North Korea The South were pushed back beyond the 38 th parallel

The US poured more men in and pushed the Chinese back to the 38 th parallel (the original starting point) The rest of the war was stalemate A ceasefire was agreed in 1953

1954 – SEATO set up – an Asian version of NATO (South East Asian Treaty Organization) Aim = to contain Communism in the far east Korea – devastated – one in ten died Korea a success for United Nations - stronger than LON & prepared to stand up & fight

USA - saw Korea as a success (stopped Communism) Needed to stop other countries – next was VIETNAM Korean War also showed China was no longer a weak nation & were prepared to stand up to the West.
