Canada and the Post-War World

September, 1945 Igor Gouzenko was a Russian clerk who discovered a Soviet spy ring operating in Canada Took documents to Ottawa Journal, but was denied Took documents to RCMP, department of justice, and PM’s office but was also denied When Soviet agents broke into his apartment, the Ottawa police finally listened to his story

Gouzenko Affair Spy ring was probably trying to discover the secrets of the atomic bomb During WWII the US and the Soviet Union had been allies but that is all they had in common Tensions rose, and both sides began stockpiling conventional arms, powerful nuclear weapons, biological and chemical weapons, long-range bombers, missiles, and atomic submarines

The Cold War Begins Military strength of the Soviet Union and the US made them superpowers Superpowers competed for political influence in other parts of the world – i.e. developing nations that were poorer and less politically stable than themselves Rival between the two superpowers = Cold War

Divisions Soviet Union was communist: the government controlled all industry and commerce US were capitalists: their economies are based on private enterprise, with individuals investing in business for profit. Soviet Union feared that Western countries might invade Soviet territory Western countries feared communism

Cold War continues… To create a buffer between USSR and US, Soviets took over the countries of Eastern Europe and established communist governments Communists took over China in 1949, and former government fled to Taiwan US stopped the spread of communism on homefront by establishing a Committee on Un-American Activities – Chaired by Joseph McCarthy – Anyone suspected of communism would be fired, blacklisted, and persecuted.

“Red Scare” In 1949, leader of the Conservative Party, Borden, accused the government of harbouring communists in the civil service. Workers suspected of communist beliefs were dismissed The RCMP Special Branch watched those who “might be or might become” a security risk. Premier Maurice Duplessis of Quebec took a hard stance against communism – Padlock Law: shut down suspected organizations/newspapers
