       COLD WAR

TWO CONFLICTS WERE THE
RESULT OF THE COLD WAR:
        Korean War
        Vietnam War

          MANPOWER.
Iron Curtain

      restricted from
      traveling outside
      their countries.
      •Western Europeans
      who wished to visit
      the East faced
      restrictions.
Cold War

 Beginning in 1945, the Cold War was a period of
  distrust and misunderstanding between the Soviet
  Union and its former allies in the West, particular
  the United States.
 The Soviet Union was a communist country that
  believed a powerful central government should
  control the economy as well as the government.
 This idea was very different from the democracy and
  capitalism found in the United States.
 The United States believed that business should be
  privately owned.
 After World War II, Soviet dictator Joseph
  Stalin placed most of the Eastern European
  countries under communist control.
 These countries became know as the Eastern
  Bloc. The United States led the Western Bloc
  countries of Western Europe.
 The line separating the two was called the
  “Iron Curtain”.
 Another problem of the Cold War was the division
  of Germany. At the end of the war, the Allies
  divided Germany into four sections to keep it from
  regaining power.
 The United States, Great Britain, France and the
  Soviet Union each controlled a section.
 In 1948, the Western Allies wanted to
    reunite Germany, but the Soviet
    Union disagreed.
   The Soviets declared their section of
    the country “East Germany” and the
    reunited sections became West
    Germany.
   Even the capital of Berlin in East
    Germany was divided into East and
    West.
   Tension grew.
   In 1961, communist leaders build the
    Berlin Wall. It separated the
    communist part of the city from the
    free sections.
 Some countries under communist
  rule tried to break away from the
  Soviet Union, but the Soviets sent
  the military into these countries to
  keep them in line.
 Each side in this Cold War thought
  the other was trying to rule the
  world. Neither side gave up, and
  people lived in fear that another
  world war might erupt.
 People worried that if such a war
  happened, it would be a nuclear
  war.
 Such a war would be a disaster for everyone on
  earth.
 Countries formed new alliances to protect
  themselves.
 In 1949, the western European countries, plus the
  United States and Canada formed the North
  Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
 The eastern countries signed the Warsaw Pact.
Cold War

 No war was ever fought but this was a period of
  political non-cooperation.
 Neither side wanted to start a war due to nuclear
  weapons which would cause destruction of a global
  scale.
 United States feared the Soviet Union would
  influence other countries to become communist.
The Rise of the
SUPERPOWERS

 THE UNITED STATES
        VS.
 THE SOVIET UNION
 As the Cold War continued, the
    United States and the Soviet Union
    increased their area of influence.
   More countries allied with each
   The United States and the Soviet
    Union had the ability to influence
    world events and project
    worldwide power.
   The countries were evenly
    matched.
   The world took sides, communist
    or democracy, socialist or fee
    market.
SOVIET INFLUENCE

 The Soviets had a permanent seat on the UN security
    council.
   They influenced other communists counties and
    dictatorships around the world.
   The Soviets occupied the largest country in the world
    – Russia.
   They had the third-largest population and the
    second-largest economy.
   The Soviets had military and space technology, a
    worldwide spy network (the KGB), and one of the
    largest stockpiles of nuclear weapons in the world.
UNITED STATES INFLUENCE

 The United States also had a permanent seat on the UN
    Security Council with strong ties to Western Europe and Latin
    America.
   The United States was the third-largest country in the world
    and the fourth most populated.
   The US supported underdeveloped countries and developing
    democratic ones.
   The US had powerful military support from NATO and the
    largest navy in the world.
   They had bases all over the world, even bordering the Warsaw
    Pact countries.
   The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) spent money to spy on
    the Soviet Union.
   The United States had a large reserve of nuclear weapons.
German
  Reunification
THE SOVIET UNION WAS SPENDING
  MORE AND MORE OF ITS MONEY
 PUTTING DOWN REVOLTS WITHIN
  ITS COUNTRY, PROTECTING ITS
BORDERS, AND KEEPING UP WITH
THE UNITED STATES IN THE ARMS
            RACE.
 By 1985, the economy was so
  unstable that Mikhail Gorbachev,
  the head of the Soviet Union,
  reduced government control of
  business and increased freedoms
  for Soviet citizens.
 This action helped to improve
  relations with the United States
  and inspired people in other
  Eastern Bloc countries to demand
  freedom from communist rule.
 In November 1989, the Berlin Wall
    was torn down.
   Germany began the process of
    unifying and people around the
    world began celebrating.
   East and West Germany were made
    one country in 1990.
   The Cold War was over and the
    Soviet republics that had once been
    separate countries began seeking
    their independence too.
   The Soviet Union was no more.
    Many countries were created from
    the former Soviet Union; Russia was
    the largest.
Ticket out the Door
1. Reflect on how you would feel if
suddenly they built a wall between
Dallas and Hiram. You were not
allowed to cross or see any of your
family or friends on the other side…
What would you do?
