Cold War Political Division of Europe

1945 “What is Europe now? A rubble heap, a charnel house, a breeding ground of pestilence and hate.” -- Winston Churchill

Western Perspective US demands free elections in Europe (to no effect) Truman doctrine – US will support “free people who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressure” US offers military aid to Turkey and Greece in the hopes of stopping Communism US establishes the Marshall Plan -- $13 BILLION in aid to Europe Western sectors of Germany unified in 1949

US Philosophy of Containment “Like apples in a barrel infected by disease, the corruption of Greece would infect Iran and all the east... likewise Africa... Italy... France....Not since Rome and Carthage had there been such a polarization of power on this earth” -- U.S. Secretary of State Dean Acheson

1947

Soviet Perspective Stalin resumes antagonism to the West and dictatorial rule –“The war on fascism ends, the war on capitalism begins.” –War is inevitable as long as capitalism exists” –Purges and forced labor camps reinstated USSR had been invaded by Germany twice in the 20 th century, Stalin felt he deserved “friendly” neighbors (so the USSR set up Communist parties to dominate eastern European countries)

Soviet Perspective USSR devastated by WW II, needed to improve its industrial capacity (so it took 380 factories out of the Soviet zone in Berlin) USSR refused Marshall Plan money (sees the Marshall Plan as a way to make European countries beholden to the US)

NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) 1949 Warsaw Pact (Council for Mutual Economic Assistance – COMECON) 1955

US increasingly concerned about the spread of Communism 1948 – Berlin blockade 1949 – Communists win the civil war in China 1949 – USSR explodes its first atomic bomb 1950 – Communist North Korea attacks South Korea, US leads a UN force to save South Korea, North Korea is assisted by the Chinese (country divided in half in 1953 – still a militarized border) 1961 – Berlin Wall

Overcoming the Berlin Blockade
