An overview of the cold war
After WWII, tensions rose between the capitalist United States and communist Soviet Union as they emerged as the two dominant superpowers. Both sides sought to spread their influence and demonstrate military superiority, engaging in nuclear and conventional arms races. Key events in the Cold War included the division of Germany and establishment of communist states in Eastern Europe, as well as hotspots like the Korean War, Berlin Wall, Cuban Missile Crisis, and Vietnam War as the two sides backed opposing forces around the world.
Causes of the Cuban Missile Crisis – Khrushchev's domestic position
Nikita Khrushchev faced domestic challenges as the Soviet leader from 1953-1964. He criticized Stalin in a 1956 speech, angering Stalin supporters and encouraging anti-Soviet revolts. This made Khrushchev unpopular and worried about challenges to his leadership. His agricultural and religious policies also failed and were unpopular. Placing missiles in Cuba may have been an attempt to strengthen his position by appearing stronger against the US and distracting from domestic issues, though confronting the US carried great risks if unsuccessful.
Cold war conflicts
The document summarizes several Cold War conflicts between communist and capitalist nations from 1950 to the 1960s. It describes the division and wars in Korea and Vietnam, where the US and UN supported South Korea and South Vietnam against communist North Korea, China, and North Vietnam. It also discusses the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, when the US and USSR came close to nuclear war over Soviet nuclear missiles placed in Cuba. Finally, it notes the competition for influence between the US and USSR in newly independent African nations after World War II.
The cold war
The Cold War was the period of tension and conflict between the United States and Soviet Union from 1945-1980. Major crises during this time included the Cuban Missile Crisis, Vietnam War, and construction of the Berlin Wall. Though the US and USSR were allies in World War 2, their relationship was never truly friendly due to deep distrust that existed even before the war. This distrust stemmed from their opposing political ideologies of capitalism versus communism and led to a strategic competition where the two superpowers vied for influence through proxy wars around the world without direct military conflict.
Causes of the Cuban Missile Crisis - Ideological differences
The document discusses the ideological differences between the USA and USSR that helped cause the Cuban Missile Crisis. The key difference was that the USA supported capitalism and free market principles while the USSR supported communism and strong government control. These opposing political ideologies led to conflict during the Cold War as each country wanted to promote their system globally and prevent the spread of the other. The placement of Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba increased tensions further and brought the two sides closer to war.

Origin and causes of the cold war
The Cold War originated between the U.S. and USSR after WWII as they emerged as two superpowers competing for global influence and ideological dominance. Tensions grew as Stalin sought to spread communism in Eastern Europe against the wishes of the U.S. and UK. The ideological differences between capitalism and communism, as well as the arms race between the two sides, exacerbated the conflict and divided the world into two spheres of influence, leading to the emergence of the Cold War.
History presentation cold war
The Cold War was a period of geopolitical tension between the Soviet Union and its satellite states and the Western powers led by the United States. It began after World War 2 and involved military buildups, espionage, propaganda, and economic competition. Both sides sought to spread their opposing ideologies - communism for the Soviets and capitalism for the US. The launch of Sputnik 1 by the Soviet Union in 1957 kicked off the Space Race and led the US to establish NASA to catch up in space exploration, culminating in the US moon landing in 1969. Throughout the Cold War, both militaries developed advanced technologies like nuclear weapons and spy planes to gain military advantages over the other. The Cold War ended in the early 1990s

HISTORY YEAR 9 - THE COLD WAR
The Cold War was a state of political and military tension between Western powers led by the US and Eastern powers led by the Soviet Union from 1945-1989. It arose due to ideological differences that divided Europe into Western and Eastern blocs, with the Iron Curtain symbolizing efforts by the Soviet Union to isolate itself and its satellite states. Though direct war was avoided due to nuclear deterrence, the conflict played out through regional proxy wars like in Korea and Vietnam, and crises like the Berlin Blockade increased tensions between the two superpowers.
Causes of the Cuban Missile Crisis – Arms race
The document discusses the arms race between the United States and Soviet Union during the Cold War, and how it contributed to the Cuban Missile Crisis. It describes how both countries continually developed more powerful weapons, from the US developing the atomic bomb first in 1945 to both countries developing hydrogen bombs by the 1950s. It explains that the Soviet placement of nuclear missiles in Cuba in 1962 was an attempt to counter the US nuclear advantage and directly threaten the US mainland in response to US nuclear weapons placed near the Soviet Union.
End of the cold war
- After Stalin's death in 1953, Khrushchev publicly denounced Stalin and began destalinization, opening up the Soviet Union. In the 1970s, Nixon and Brezhnev initiated détente and SALT talks to limit nuclear weapons. Reagan took a stronger stance against communism in the 1980s.
- Mikhail Gorbachev implemented glasnost (openness) and perestroika (economic restructuring) in the 1980s to reform the Soviet Union. This led to the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and German reunification in 1990.
- Attempts to depose Gorbachev in a 1991 coup failed when Yeltsin and the people refused to back down. This

Causes of the Cold War - ideological differences
The Cold War started due to ideological differences between the capitalist United States and communist Soviet Union. The US believed in individual freedoms and free markets while the USSR promoted atheism and a command economy. Both sides wanted to spread their influence globally and feared the other, causing tensions. The US sought to contain communism through actions like the Marshall Plan and military alliances. However, some historians argue the rivalry was exaggerated as the two countries had been allies in WWII, and neither believed the other could survive long-term.

2.cold war
The Cold War developed between the United States and Soviet Union after World War II and lasted until the late 1980s. It began due to tensions over differing ideologies of capitalism and communism. The relationship fluctuated between periods of confrontation and détente, with tensions heightened during times like the Cuban Missile Crisis. Interpretations differ on who was primarily responsible for starting the Cold War.
30.1 the cold war unfolds
After WWII, tensions grew between the US and Soviet Union as they led opposing military alliances in Europe - NATO and the Warsaw Pact. This started the Cold War, where both sides built up nuclear weapons and proxy wars broke out globally between powers aligned with each side. In Europe, Eastern nations were dominated by the Soviet Union while the US led Western Europe. Germany was divided between democratic West Berlin and communist East Berlin, controlled by the Soviet Union.
Cold War 1950
The Cold War began in 1945 after WWII ended and the US and USSR emerged as the two dominant superpowers with opposing ideologies. Stalin expanded Soviet control over Eastern Europe against agreements at Yalta, alarming the US. The US responded with the Truman Doctrine of containment to limit Soviet expansion. Strategies of Soviet expansionism and US containment increased tensions and hostility, marking the start of the Cold War between the two rivals competing to spread their influence globally through the late 20th century.

Cold War Tensions Increase - 1945-1952.pptx
This document discusses different historical perspectives on the origins of the Cold War between 1945-1991. It begins by providing context for rising tensions between former World War 2 allies the US and USSR. It then outlines the traditional, revisionist, and post-revisionist views that emerged in the West. The traditional view blamed Soviet intransigence, while the revisionist view saw US economic imperialism as the cause. The post-revisionist view argued it was a complex interaction between both sides. Soviet views also evolved over time from solely blaming US imperialism to more nuanced accounts after Stalin's death.
Usa foreign policy
The document summarizes major events in US foreign policy and the Cold War from 1945 to the early 1990s in 3 periods:
1) 1945-1972: The US worked to contain communism through policies like the Truman Doctrine, Marshall Plan, NATO, and conflicts in Korea and Vietnam. This led to increased tensions and proxy wars with the Soviet Union.
2) 1973-1989: Both sides pursued détente through arms agreements, but tensions increased again due to conflicts in places like Afghanistan.
3) 1989-1991: Reforms under Gorbachev weakened the Soviet Union, leading to its collapse and the end of the Cold War. Some argued this marked "the end of history"

Week 4
Congratulations to everyone to making it to week four! We are officially past the half way mark. This is a good time to take a step back and take stock of everything you have learned so far. If you are behind on your work for the course, it might be a good time to reach out to your instructor to see what you can do to get caught up.
This is also a good time to go over the sources that you have found for your final project, reading carefully and closely. It might help to keep researching at the Ashford Library (see the week three guidance for more help finding sources). As you read over your sources, ask yourself “what are they saying about the topic, and how can I use what they are saying to support what I want to say”. Also, take notes as you read, so that you can go back and use useful materials from sources. Use quotes sparingly and make sure that you explain the quote and put it in the context of your own thinking.

The Cold War was a period of geopolitical tension between the United States and its allies, and the Soviet Union and its allies from 1945 to 1991. While direct military conflict was avoided, both sides amassed large stockpiles of nuclear weapons and engaged in espionage and proxy wars. Key events that heightened tensions included the Berlin Blockade, the formation of NATO and the Warsaw Pact, and the Soviet Union developing nuclear weapons in 1949. The threat of nuclear war cast a shadow over international relations for decades.

Summative Reflections by Adrienne A
The student reflects on a project researching PTSD where they faced challenges finding sources that weren't repetitive or outdated. While books like All Quiet on the Western Front introduced PTSD, they did not provide useful information for the research project. The most difficult part was managing different websites and platforms for the project, though creating multimedia products to portray their findings was most rewarding. Going forward, the student feels their research and information skills have improved through learning to evaluate sources, but traditional papers may be more difficult since it has been a while since writing one.
