Cold War Roots

• During WWII the United States and the Soviet
  Union had been allies.
• However, after the war the two countries were
  enemies with one another because of political
  ideologies (communism vs. democracy).
• The U.S. allied itself with other western
  democracies to combat the U.S.S.R and their
  communist allies.

George Marshall Winston Churchill

• Marshall Plan

• The Iron Curtain

• On June 5, 1947, George C. Marshall proposed a
  plan to help reconstruct the battle ridden areas
  of Europe economically.
• The U.S. invited the Soviet Union to help with
  this plan, but they declined. The U.S. along
  with 16 other Western European Nations formed the
  program.
• Although the program was directed to help fight
  the disaster ridden areas, the plan also hurt the
  Soviet Union.
• By pouring million of dollars into European
  nations, the U.S. not only helped those countries
  prosper but also gained allies who were near the
  Soviet Unions territory. The Marshall Plan
  heightened the friction between the United States
  and the Soviet Union

• In a speech on March 5, 1946, Winston Churchill
  announced that an iron curtain had descended
  across the continent.
• The term iron curtain has been used since to
  describe the dividedness between communist and
  democratic countries.

Communist Containment

• Truman Doctrine

• In 1947, Harry Truman asked Congress to support
  his plan to give 400,000 dollars in aid to
  support free peoples who are resisting attempted
  subjugation by armed minorities or by outside
  pressures.
• This money went to support countries like Turkey
  and Greece, who the U.S. didnt want to fall to
  communist regimes.

Communist Containment

• Berlin Blockade

• Because of the Potsdam Agreement, Germany was
  split into four sections, and the city of Berlin
  was split up additionally within the Soviet
  controlled section of the country.
• From June 1948 to May 1949 the Soviet Union cut
  off all supply routes to the Western controlled
  parts of Berlin.
• To overcome the lack of supplies, the U.S. began
  an airlift to provide the city with the needed
  provisions.

Communist Containment

• Cuban Missile Crisis

• In 1962, the Soviet Union, led by Nikita
  Krushchev, began to store medium and intermediate
  ballistic missiles in Cuba.
• For the United States, these missiles were too
  close to the country and many feared the Soviet
  Union would launch an attack.
• President Kennedy wanted these missiles and all
  other weapons removed from Cuba.

• After many tense days, the Soviet Union backed
  down and removed the missiles.
• The Cuban Missile Crisis was the most intense
  confrontation of the Cold War.
