The leaders: Truman Truman had very little foreign policy experience. The President before Truman, FDR, hadn’t given Truman much experience of dealing with other countries. Truman lacked knowledge of other countries and how to deal with their statesmen. Truman and Stalin attended a conference in Potsdam in August At the conference, Truman heard that American scientists had developed an atomic bomb. Truman smugly informed Stalin that America had a powerful weapon. Truman ended the conference quickly so that he could inspect the bomb. Stalin left the conference with the impression that he had been given permission to permanently include Eastern Europe in Russia’s “sphere of influence”. Truman authorised the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August Truman was alarmed by the Soviet takeover of Eastern Europe In February 1946, Churchill made a provocative speech in which he stated that an “iron curtain” had descended across Europe. Truman was sitting right next to Churchill when he made this speech. In March 1947, in a speech given to Congress, the President outlined the “Truman doctrine”. This doctrine stated that the US must “support free peoples who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures. … I believe that our help should be primarily through economic and financial aid.” Truman wanted to “contain” the USSR: to make sure that the USSR didn’t spread communism to any other countries. The Truman Doctrine inspired the Secretary of State, George Marshall, to draw up a plan to provide aid to Western Europe in the form of $12.5 billion of money and goods. The Marshall Plan was designed to make sure that Western Europe stayed stable, and didn’t become communist. Wikipedia, public domain

The leaders: Stalin Stalin was the dictator of Russia from 1926 to In 1941, the German army invaded Russia. Stalin oversaw the victory of the Russian Army over Germany. During the Second World War, the Soviet Union worked with America to defeat the Germans. However, at least 10 million Russians died. Stalin was desperate not to let Germany invade Russia again. To do this, Stalin wanted to take over Eastern Europe. Germany would have to go through Eastern Europe if it wanted to invade Russia again, and so less Russians would die. After World War 2, Russian troops stayed in some Eastern European countries. Between 1946 and 1948, the governments of the rest of the Eastern European countries were forced to become Communist. By 1948, Russia controlled Eastern Europe. According to Winston Churchill, an “iron curtain” had been drawn across Europe, dividing the East From the West. All the governments of Eastern Europe had to obey Russia. The people of Eastern Europe were denied the freedom of speech or the freedom of the press. Communist economic policies were enforced upon some countries. Stalin was extremely suspicious of the West. He didn’t trust Truman. He believed that America wanted to control the world. West Berlin was controlled by the Americans, British and French. In 1948, Stalin ordered that all land routes to West Berlin should be cut off, so that the Western powers would leave West Berlin. Truman ordered that millions of tons of food should be flown in to West Berlin. After a year, Stalin called off the “Berlin Blockade”.
