Origins of the Cold War
The document discusses the origins of the Cold War through several key events and organizations:
1) The Tehran, Yalta, and Potsdam conferences divided Germany and Europe between the Western Allies and Soviet Union after World War 2.
2) Winston Churchill coined the term "Iron Curtain" to describe the growing divide between Western Europe and Eastern Europe under Soviet control.
3) NATO was formed in 1949 as a military alliance between Western countries to counter the military power of the USSR.
4) Germany was divided into the capitalist West Germany and communist East Germany, each aligned with their respective allies in the growing East-West conflict.
Nato And The Warsaw Pact
The document discusses the formation of NATO and the Warsaw Pact during the Cold War period between 1945-1955. It describes events like the Berlin Airlift of 1948 in response to the Soviet blockade of West Berlin, the founding of NATO in 1949 and West Germany in the same year. It also discusses communist takeovers in countries like Poland and Czechoslovakia, as well as West Germany and Greece/Turkey joining NATO and the Soviet Union forming the Warsaw Pact in 1955 in response to West Germany rearming.
US Isolationism
The document discusses the end of World War 1 and the Treaty of Versailles. It describes how President Woodrow Wilson advocated for American entry into World War 1 and his 14 Points plan for peace which led to the creation of the League of Nations. However, the US Congress ultimately rejected joining the League of Nations or signing the Treaty of Versailles due to not wanting to give up power to an international organization like the League.
Warsaw Pact
The Warsaw Pact was a post-World War II military alliance between the Soviet Union and Eastern European communist countries that was established in 1955 in Warsaw, Poland. It required member states to defend each other in response to an attack and recognized Soviet dominance over Eastern Europe. The Pact integrated the armed forces of Eastern Bloc countries under unified Soviet command and provided a counterbalance to NATO during the Cold War.
Development of the Cold War
Introduction to the development of the Cold War, 1953-1968 era. Contains key terms for the era, containment theory, domino theory and alliances/pacts for the early 1950s.
Hitler's Rise to Power
Hitler was born in Austria in 1889 and devoted himself to restoring Germany's military glory after its defeat in WWI. In 1923, he tried to overthrow the Bavarian government and was imprisoned, where he wrote his book "Mein Kampf" outlining his racist ideology and plan to conquer Eastern Europe for "living space" for Germans.

WWII and Hitler
Adolf Hitler was the leader of Nazi Germany and played a central role in starting World War 2. He took control of Germany in the 1930s and rapidly expanded its territory by invading neighboring countries. Hitler's extreme anti-Semitic ideology led to the genocide of 6 million Jews and others in the Holocaust. As the war turned against Germany by 1945, Hitler refused to surrender and committed suicide as Allied forces closed in on Berlin.
Plotters
The document discusses several key members of the failed 20 July plot of 1944 to assassinate Adolf Hitler and remove the Nazi Party from power in Germany.

It describes their backgrounds, roles in the conspiracy, and reasons for turning against Hitler and the Nazi regime.
Ch 21 section 3
The document summarizes America's involvement in World War 1 from 1917 to 1918. It describes how the U.S. initially sent troops to boost morale for the Allies before being ready for combat. American troops eventually did fight under French command, helping halt the German advance at Belleau Wood and the Second Battle of the Marne. By September 1918, over 1 million American troops advanced the Allied lines, weakening the German forces until they sought an armistice in November 1918 to end the war.
Ching's World War II Vocabulary
World War II lasted from 1939 to 1945. The document outlines key events leading up to and during the war, including Hitler's desire for Lebensraum or "living space," the invasion of Poland which started the war, the Hitler-Stalin pact which divided territories between Germany and the USSR, Britain and France's appeasement of Hitler at the Munich Conference, the Axis and Allied powers, Germany's use of Blitzkrieg warfare, and an overview of the major players in the global conflict.
End of WWII - Path of the Cold War
The Cold War emerged from tensions between capitalist Western nations led by the United States and communist Eastern nations led by the Soviet Union. Key events that highlighted this conflict included the Berlin Blockade in 1948, when the USSR tried to force the Western allies out of Berlin, and the formation of opposing military alliances like NATO and the Warsaw Pact in 1949 and 1955 respectively. The Marshall Plan and Truman Doctrine aimed to contain the spread of communism through economic and military aid to countries resisting Soviet influence. An arms race developed as both sides increasingly developed more advanced nuclear weapons throughout the late 1940s and 1950s, maintaining a tense stalemate known as mutually assured destruction.
Causes of ww1 and peace settlement
The document summarizes the causes of World War 1, including militarism, alliances, imperialism, and nationalism in Europe. It also discusses how the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand led Austria-Hungary to declare war on Serbia, dragging other allied countries into the war. At the end of WWI, the major powers met at Versailles to establish the peace settlement, but Germany was excluded, sowing resentment. Key issues addressed included the future of Germany and territories changed during the war like Alsace-Lorraine.

This document provides an overview of World War I and the key events that led to the US entry into the war in 1917. It discusses the rise of nationalism, imperialism, and militarism in Europe in the early 20th century. Tensions escalated after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, leading Austria-Hungary to declare war on Serbia and the formation of allied powers on both sides. The US initially remained neutral but was drawn into the war in 1917 after Germany began unrestricted submarine warfare and the Zimmerman Telegram. American forces played a key role in helping the allies achieve victory by late 1918.
WWII vocab
Hitler's ideology of Lebensraum led to the occupation of Austria and invasion of Poland starting WWII. In 1939, the Hitler-Stalin pact agreed for Germany and the Soviet Union to not attack each other, though Hitler did not honor this. Britain and France appeased Hitler by allowing Germany to take the Sudetenland, but this failed to achieve peace. The major powers of WWII were Germany, Italy, and Japan as the Axis powers and the US, France, Britain, and Soviet Union as the Allied powers. Blitzkrieg referred to Germany's fast and mobile air and land attacks.
The end of world war1 By Boat
The document discusses the end of World War 1, including the Allied advance towards Germany in October 1918, Austria-Hungary and Turkey signing armistices that month, and most historians blaming Germany for starting the war due to building a strong army that frightened other countries. It also notes that while Germany and the Allies signed an armistice, one author believed the war may have continued for years if Germany did not want to lose face as the instigator of the conflict.
Wareurope
The document discusses several key events that threatened peace in Europe in the 1930s and ultimately led to the start of World War II:
1) Hitler pursued an aggressive foreign policy after becoming Chancellor of Germany in 1933 in violation of the Treaty of Versailles, including rearmament of Germany and remilitarization of the Rhineland, which other powers did not stop.
2) The League of Nations proved ineffective at preventing aggression by Germany, Italy, and Japan, failing to take action against their violations.
3) Seeing the League as useless, Stalin signed the Nazi-Soviet Pact with Hitler in 1939 to buy time, allowing Germany to invade Poland and starting World War II in Europe.

Most historians blame Germany for starting the war due to building a strong army that frightened others and invading Belgium. While Germany and the Allies signed an armistice to end hostilities, one author believed the war could have continued for years as Germany tried not to lose face. Ultimately, World War 1 ended with the Treaty of Versailles and Germany being blamed and held responsible.
End of ww2 and trials
The Tehran Conference of 1943 established that:
- The USA and Britain would open a second front against Germany to relieve pressure on the USSR
- The USSR would declare war on Japan once Germany was defeated.
The Yalta Conference of 1945 made plans for:
- Dividing Germany into occupied zones after the war
- Banning the Nazi party and trying war criminals in an international court
- Establishing the UN to replace the League of Nations.
The Potsdam Conference of 1945 further outlined:
- Dividing Germany into four zones administered by the USA, USSR, Britain and France with the goal of reunifying the country.
- Also dividing Berlin into four zones despite it lying
America enters
America entered World War I in April 1917, just as the war had reached a stalemate and Russia had withdrawn. While initially neutral, several factors pushed the US into the war on the side of the Allies. Germany's resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare in 1917, which resulted in American ships and lives lost, along with the intercepted Zimmerman Telegram proposing a German-Mexican alliance against the US, led President Wilson to declare war. American troops began arriving at the front in late 1917 and helped turn the tide of battle, as Germany requested an armistice in November 1918 with the war coming to an end.

The document summarizes the rise of the Nazi party in Germany following World War 1 and the actions taken under Hitler's leadership in the 1930s that violated the Treaty of Versailles and expanded German territory, setting the stage for World War 2. It describes the economic and social conditions after WWI that helped the Nazi party rise to power in Germany. It then outlines key events and policies of Hitler's regime such as rearmament of Germany, annexation of Austria and territories of Czechoslovakia, and the invasion of Poland in 1939 which triggered World War 2 after France and Britain declared war on Germany.
World War Two
World War 2 began in 1939 when Germany, led by Hitler, invaded Poland after defying the Treaty of Versailles and remilitarizing. Britain and France declared war on Germany in response. Over the following years, Germany conquered much of Europe using their Blitzkrieg tactics while Britain resisted under Winston Churchill. The US joined the Allies in 1941 after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. Major turning points included Germany's defeat at Stalingrad in 1942-1943 and the Allied D-Day invasion of German-occupied France in 1944, culminating in Germany's surrender in 1945 after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki ended the war.
Were the peace treaties of 1919-1923 fair
The document provides background information on the peace treaties that resulted from World War 1, known as the Versailles Settlement. It focuses on introducing the key figures and motivations of the "Big Three" nations - France, the United States, and Britain - that dominated the peace negotiations. France sought a harsh peace for security reasons due to Germany invading twice. The US advocated for Woodrow Wilson's idealistic 14 Points. Britain under Lloyd George initially wanted punishment but realized complete destruction of Germany was not in its interests long term.

Origins of the Cold War
This document discusses the origins and key events of the early Cold War between the United States and Soviet Union. It covers Winston Churchill coining the term "Iron Curtain" in 1946 to describe the boundary between western and eastern Europe. It also outlines President Truman establishing the Truman Doctrine in 1947 to provide aid to countries resisting communism, and the Marshall Plan that same year that gave $20 billion in aid to help rebuild Western Europe. Finally, it mentions the formation of NATO in 1949 and the Warsaw Pact in 1955 as military alliances that solidified the division between the capitalist and communist blocs during the Cold War.
Bizony originsof coldwar
The Tehrān Conference in 1943 saw the leaders of the USSR, USA and Britain - Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill - meet in Tehrān, Iran to coordinate efforts in World War 2. This included launching the Normandy invasion and gaining Turkey as an ally. The Yalta Conference in 1945 involved the same countries deciding how to divide postwar Germany. At Potsdam in 1945, the new American president Truman joined Stalin and Churchill, now replaced by Attlee, but tensions grew over Soviet control in Germany and Poland. This led to an ideological division between communist and capitalist states, known as the Cold War, with the US and USSR competing for influence and "spheres of influence" through policies like the Truman Doct

Several conferences were held during and after World War II between Western allies and the Soviet Union to discuss postwar reorganization and establishment of international organizations like the United Nations. However, the Iron Curtain divided Europe, with Western nations forming NATO in response to the Soviet-led Warsaw Pact alliance. Germany was divided into capitalist West Germany and communist East Germany, separated by the Berlin Wall.

The gulf war
The Gulf War was a U.N authorized coalition force led by the U.S. against Iraq in 1990-1991 after Iraq invaded Kuwait. Iraq was deeply in debt to Kuwait after the costly Iran-Iraq War and invaded Kuwait on August 2nd, 1990 after Kuwait refused to cancel Iraq's debts. The U.S.-led coalition included forces from 34 countries which launched a massive air and ground assault driving Iraqi forces out of Kuwait and imposing a ceasefire. The war had both immediate impacts like destabilizing Iraq's economy and long term effects such as major environmental damage and health issues for veterans.
Food security
Rapid population growth and lack of space in Langa is resulting in less land available for vegetable gardens and food production. This could lead to food insecurity issues if not addressed. The Honeycomb Project proposes using sustainable "units" that combine aquaponics and greenhouse food production to grow fish and vegetables in a self-contained system. Each unit could feed 3-5 families and be financially self-sustaining within 3 years by allowing families to save money on food costs. The units would use the land more efficiently to address the lack of space issue while continuing to provide local food production opportunities.
