The Cold War began between the communist nations led by the Soviet Union and the democratic nations led by the United States. Joseph Stalin wanted to spread communism around the world and keep Eastern Europe under Soviet control. In response, President Truman enacted the Truman Doctrine and wanted free elections in Eastern Europe, but Stalin refused to allow free elections. This led to Stalin blocking food supplies to West Berlin, resulting in shortages for West Berliners and necessitating the Berlin Airlift to deliver supplies by air.

The Cold War
The Cold War began after World War 2 and lasted from 1945-1991. It was characterized by tensions between NATO countries led by the US and Warsaw Pact countries led by the Soviet Union. Key events included the formation of NATO in 1949 and the Warsaw Pact in 1955, the Berlin Blockade from 1948-1949, the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, and the building and fall of the Berlin Wall from 1961-1989. The space race between the US and USSR further demonstrated the technological and ideological competition between the two superpowers. The Cold War ended in the late 1980s and early 1990s as the Soviet Union collapsed and communist governments in Eastern Europe were replaced.
Cold war
The origins of the Cold War began in 1945 due to differences in ideology between the Soviet Union and Western allies like the US and UK. The Soviets established communist control over Eastern Europe, while the West allied under NATO. Germany was divided, and tensions increased as both sides sought to prevent the other from gaining more global influence through espionage, the arms race, and competing economic systems. This division was symbolized by the Berlin Wall, erected in 1961 to stop East Berliners from fleeing to the West. Reforms under Gorbachev in the 1980s weakened Soviet control until the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, leading to German reunification and the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, ending the Cold War.

The Cold War began after WWII as Truman wanted peace and democracy for Western Europe while Stalin wanted to spread communism. This led to an ideological division between Eastern Europe dominated by the Soviet Union and the democratic West. In response, Truman adopted a policy of containment to prevent further communist expansion and launched the Marshall Plan, Truman Doctrine, and Berlin Airlift to support Western Europe economically and militarily against Soviet influence.
The Cold War : The Begginings
The Cold War began in 1946 as tensions grew between capitalist Western nations led by the United States and communist Eastern nations led by the Soviet Union. The Truman Doctrine established U.S. policy of providing economic and military aid to countries resisting Soviet influence. Stalin sought to control Eastern Europe and blockaded West Berlin, but the U.S.-led Berlin Airlift provided food and supplies, preventing West Berlin from falling under Soviet control. By 1947, the world was divided into communist and capitalist spheres as the Cold War escalated.

This led to differing views on security and the domination of Eastern Europe by the Soviet Union. In response, the US implemented the Truman Doctrine to provide aid to Greece and Turkey, and the Marshall Plan to give economic aid to Europe to prevent the spread of communism. When Stalin blocked access to West Berlin, the US launched the Berlin Airlift to supply the city by plane until the blockade ended.

Despite earlier attempts to restrict movement, the communist governments of East Germany and Soviet Russia ultimately decided to close the border entirely with the Berlin Wall to gain control over emigration.

The document summarizes the US withdrawal from Vietnam. It discusses how the US failed to win hearts and minds or build a stable South Vietnam. After causing over 2 million deaths, the US realized the Domino Theory was false. Under President Nixon, US troops largely withdrew from South Vietnam by 1972 through a program called Vietnamization, transferring responsibility to South Vietnamese forces. The Paris Peace Accords of 1973 aimed to establish peace and end direct US involvement, temporarily stopping fighting between North and South Vietnam.

President Nixon faced pressure to end the Vietnam War as public opinion polls showed most Americans favored withdrawing troops. In an effort to boost his reelection chances and regain public support, Nixon negotiated a peace agreement with North Vietnam in 1973 known as the Paris Peace Accords, which established a ceasefire and set terms for US troop withdrawal and the release of prisoners of war. However, neither North nor South Vietnam abided by the ceasefire and continued fighting, resulting in the fall of Saigon to communist forces in 1975 and the eventual reunification of Vietnam under communist rule.
vietnam war- Aya Zak, MMK, & Maha
The document discusses how public opinion in the US turned against the Vietnam War. By 1965, most troops were draftees who were forced into service against their will, hurting morale. As the first televised war, footage of the brutality shocked Americans and made the draft seem unfair. Both troops and the public felt the war was pointless and not in America's interests. College students began large protests that criticized the government's credibility gap between statements and reality. The shooting of protesting students at Kent State by the National Guard further fueled anti-war protests across the country.

The Tet Offensive of 1968 was the first televised war and involved intense fighting across South Vietnam by North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces. Though the U.S. and South Vietnam ultimately repelled the offensive, it contradicted prior assurances from the U.S. government about military success and undermined American public support for the war by showing that victory was not imminent after four years of large troop deployments.

Richard Nixon promised "peace with honor" in Vietnam during his 1968 presidential campaign, wanting to withdraw U.S. troops but demand honorable peace terms. He also promised to listen to the "great, quiet forgotten majority" rather than protesters. Alabama governor George Wallace ran as a third party candidate, arguing the major parties did not represent Southern voters unhappy with social and political changes. As president, Nixon refused North Vietnamese peace terms and pursued a policy of "Vietnamization" to gradually replace U.S. troops with South Vietnamese forces while continuing aid and secret bombing campaigns.

Vietnam Salma ,sara & sirin 9 c
The Paris Peace Accords of 1973 ended US involvement in the Vietnam War by establishing a ceasefire and setting terms for a political settlement between North and South Vietnam. It called for US troops to withdraw, allowed North Vietnamese forces to remain in areas they controlled, and required both sides to pursue a long-term solution through peaceful political processes. However, North and South Vietnam ultimately did not honor the ceasefire or work diplomatically, and North Vietnam reunified Vietnam under communist rule in 1975 after capturing Saigon.
Vietnam War - Aldana, Fatima Adnan 9C
Richard Nixon promised to provide military support to South Vietnam if the situation worsened or the North launched an offensive. His plans included Vietnamization, Peace With Honor, and the Nixon Doctrine. Vietnamization aimed to withdraw U.S. troops and return control of the war to South Vietnam and train their army. The Nixon Doctrine said the U.S. would honor defense commitments but not commit troops elsewhere. Nixon refused to withdraw support for South Vietnam or allow a communist takeover. However, Vietnamization failed and the U.S. withdrew support, leading to the fall of South Vietnam to communist North Vietnam.
The war finally ends !
The war in Vietnam finally ended after many bloody years of fighting between the Vietminh and American soldiers. The Vietminh used underground hiding places, making them difficult to find. In the end, the United States withdrew its troops from Vietnam, bringing the war to a close, though Vietnam then became fully communist.
