The document discusses the reasons for US involvement in Korea and Vietnam in terms of containing the spread of communism. It explains that containment meant stopping the expansion of communist governments and ideologies. The US believed the Domino Theory, that if one country became communist then neighboring countries would follow. While communism had already spread to Russia and China, the US was concerned that newly independent Asian nations might also become communist without American intervention. In Korea, the US fought to prevent North Korea from conquering South Korea and spreading communism. Containment was achieved in Korea. However, in Vietnam the US failed to contain communism as North Vietnam ultimately reunited the country under communist rule after the US withdrew.

Communism versus democracy
This document discusses the differences between communism and democracy and provides examples of conflicts between communist and democratic nations during the Cold War. It describes how communism spread in China and North Korea's attempted takeover of South Korea, leading to the Korean War. It also discusses the Vietnam War and the US's goal of preventing further communist expansion. The document introduces the "Domino Theory" which was the US belief that communism spreading to one Asian nation would lead to others falling as well, and the policy of "Containment" to stop communism from spreading through military force if needed.
Containment Domino Theory
1) The document discusses the containment policy and domino theory that influenced US involvement in Vietnam.
2) The containment policy aimed to restrict communist expansion, while the domino theory held that if one country became communist others would follow.
3) The US grew involved in Vietnam to contain communism in Southeast Asia and prevent other countries from falling like dominoes, as the US believed happened after France's failure against communism in Vietnam in 1954.
A whole new world
After World War II, tensions arose between the allied powers of the US and Soviet Union as they disagreed on the future of Germany and Eastern Europe. While the US and UK wanted free elections, Stalin wanted communist governments. When the Soviets occupied areas of Germany and broke promises of free elections, Germany was divided between the communist East under Soviet control and the democratic West aligned with the US and UK, marking the beginning of the Cold War between capitalist and communist ideologies.
Start of Cold War
The document outlines key events of the Cold War, including the ideological differences and historical tensions that caused the US and USSR to become rivals after World War 2. It discusses the immediate impact of WW2 on Europe, defines cold war, and analyzes impacts of US-USSR rivalry through examples like the Korean War and Cuban Missile Crisis. It also describes the formation of military alliances like NATO and Warsaw Pact, and communist organizations like Cominform and Comecon that divided influence between the two superpowers.
The World at War 1939 1945
World War 2 was the largest war in history involving 30 nations from 1939 to 1945. It resulted in 75 million casualties. The main opposing groups were the Allies (Britain, France, Russia, China and USA) versus the Axis powers (Germany, Italy and Japan). Germany's invasion of Poland in 1939 marked the beginning of the war, which ended in 1945 with the surrender of Nazi Germany and Japan after the US dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The war had widespread global impacts including the destruction of Europe and emergence of the US and USSR as superpowers.
Results of the war (day 2)
The document summarizes key problems with the League of Nations after World War 1. The League was weak with no real organization and many major countries like the US, Germany, and Russia did not join. It had no power to enforce rules and relied only on persuasion. Every member also had to agree for rules to take effect. The League's inability to control non-member nations or enforce its rules meant it was ultimately ineffective in maintaining peace.
Korean War
The Korean War began when North Korean troops invaded South Korea in 1950, crossing the 38th parallel dividing line. The United Nations backed the US-led defense of South Korea in an effort to contain communism. While initial successes were achieved under General Douglas MacArthur, Chinese intervention turned the tide and led to stalemate. MacArthur's advocacy for expanding the war led to his dismissal by President Truman in 1951. An armistice in 1953 cemented the division of Korea along the 38th parallel, with no formal peace treaty ending the war.
Causes of the cold war
The document discusses key events and developments that characterized the Cold War between the United States and Soviet Union, including the Truman Doctrine that aimed to limit the spread of communism through economic aid, the Marshall Plan that rebuilt Western Europe, the formation of opposing military alliances like NATO and the Warsaw Pact, tensions over the occupations of Eastern Europe and Berlin at the end of WWII, the impact of communist takeovers in China and Korea, and how both superpowers sought to spread their political and economic influence globally during this era of hostility without direct military conflict.

The Korean War OCS
The Korean War was a war between North Korea, which was communist and supported by China and the Soviet Union, and South Korea, which was democratic and supported by the United Nations and United States. It lasted from 1950 to 1953 and resulted in around 40,000 American deaths. The war was ultimately a stalemate with neither side claiming a clear victory and reflected the broader Cold War conflict between communism and democracy.

The United Nations backed the US-led defense of South Korea in an effort to contain communism. Fighting escalated as Chinese troops entered on North Korea's side, pushing UN forces back below the 38th parallel. The war settled into a stalemate along the parallel, and armistice talks began in 1951. A truce was finally signed in 1953, leaving Korea still divided along roughly the same border. The war had significant impacts including the rise of the military-industrial complex and the desegregation of the US military.
Communism in africa and latin america
The document discusses the Cold War in Africa and Latin America. It describes how the Soviet Union aimed to spread communism in newly independent African nations by providing military, economic, and educational aid.

It further discusses how Cuba allied with the Soviet Union, alarming the US, and how Castro tried to spread communism in Latin America, leading the US to back anti-communist groups in countries like El Salvador and Nicaragua.
Chapter 8 cold war (edsel jasmine sison's conflicted copy 2013 03-07)
The document discusses the origins and development of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union after World War II. It explains that the Cold War emerged due to competing ideologies between capitalism and communism, feelings of mistrust between the former allies, and the breakdown of wartime alliances once their common enemy of Nazi Germany was defeated. During the Cold War period, Europe was divided between Western countries aligned with the US and Eastern countries dominated by the Soviet Union. The global tensions of the Cold War also impacted countries in other regions as the superpowers exported their competing ideologies.
Korean War
The Korean War began in 1950 when North Korean troops invaded South Korea, crossing the 38th parallel dividing line. The United Nations authorized an international force led by the US to defend South Korea. General Douglas MacArthur's forces pushed the North Koreans back but China then entered the war on North Korea's side, driving UN forces back. The war became a stalemate along the 38th parallel and dragged on for over two more years until an armistice was signed in 1953, leaving Korea divided. The war had major effects including over 50,000 US casualties and the beginning of permanent US military mobilization and spending during the Cold War.
The vietnam war
The document summarizes the key events of American involvement in the Vietnam War. It describes how Vietnam was divided after French rule, with a communist North under Ho Chi Minh and a democratic South led by Diem. Fearing communism would spread, the US supported France and later sent troops to South Vietnam. Despite American military assistance, North Vietnam was able to defeat South Vietnam and reunify the country as a communist state in 1975 after the US withdrew.
Red china by kaoko & nick
After the fall of the Qing dynasty in 1911, China was fragmented as the new Republic of China struggled with low central authority. Warlords dominated different regions with their own armies. In the 1930s, the Kuomintang nationalist party fought the Chinese Communist Party, who were outnumbered and fled to establish a new base in Shaanxi province. The fighting escalated until 1937 when Japan invaded China, creating an alliance between the two Chinese parties to remove the Japanese. After World War 2, the civil war resumed until 1949 when Mao Zedong and the communists defeated the Kuomintang nationalists led by Chiang Kai-shek, forcing them to retreat to Taiwan.
The coldwar part1
The Cold War began between the USA and USSR after WWII. They had different economic systems (capitalism vs communism) and forms of government (democracy vs dictatorship) which caused tensions. At the Yalta Conference, Stalin resisted removing troops from Eastern Europe and installed communist puppet governments, drawing an "Iron Curtain." Both sides built nuclear weapons and used deterrence and containment policies to prevent direct conflict, instead fighting through proxies in conflicts like Korea and Vietnam. They formed opposing alliances like NATO and the Warsaw Pact.
American Cultures III WK 8
1. The document reviews two major themes from Week 8: different postwar goals for the US and USSR in Europe, and rising tensions between democracy and communism.
2. After WWII, the US sought to promote democracy and economic recovery in Europe through alliances, while the USSR aimed to secure borders and exert control over acquired lands to further communism.
3. Tensions rose as the USSR shut off Berlin and established puppet governments, while the US created policies and alliances like NATO to support Western Europe. The division of Europe between the US and USSR spheres of influence set the stage for the coming Cold War.
The Cold War OCS
The Cold War was a conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union that lasted from 1945 to 1991. As allies in WWII, the two superpowers emerged as enemies after the war as they sought to influence other nations and spread their opposing political ideologies of democracy and communism. This ideological struggle between the capitalist West and communist East resulted in a division in Europe symbolized as the Iron Curtain.
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.
Cold War in a Global Context
The document provides background information on the early Cold War period from 1947 to 1970. It discusses key events like the Truman Doctrine and Marshall Plan that established the US policy of containment of communism. It also covers the establishment of military alliances like NATO and the Warsaw Pact, proxy wars in Korea and Vietnam, and crises over places like Berlin, Cuba, and Czechoslovakia.

Social studies
After World War II, the Cold War dominated global affairs as the United States and Soviet Union vied for power and influence. They engaged in proxy wars and developed nuclear weapons but avoided direct conflict. The U.S. policy of containment sought to block Soviet expansion. The launch of Sputnik began the Space Race and the Vietnam War expanded U.S. involvement in Southeast Asia. At home, the U.S. saw economic growth and expansion along with a rising civil rights movement addressing segregation and discrimination.
Korean War
The Korean War began in 1950 when North Korea invaded South Korea, supported by the Soviet Union and China. United Nations troops led by the United States intervened to defend South Korea. Fighting seesawed back and forth across the Korean Peninsula over the next two years, eventually stabilizing along the original border between North and South Korea. An armistice was signed in 1953, dividing Korea along the 38th parallel and ending direct conflict, though the two Koreas remain separate states to this day with US troops still stationed in South Korea.
Czechoslovakia and yugoslavia
The document summarizes the breakup of two communist states - Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia - following the fall of communism in Eastern Europe in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Czechoslovakia peacefully split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia due to increasing tensions between Czechs and Slovaks. In contrast, Yugoslavia broke apart violently as nationalism grew among its six republics (Slovenia, Macedonia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro), leading to war and "ethnic cleansing" under Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic before the republics gained independence.
Vietnam war
The Vietnam War was a conflict between communist North Vietnam supported by China and the Soviet Union against capitalist South Vietnam supported by the United States and other anti-communist countries. The war began in 1955 and lasted until 1975, with the United States gradually increasing its involvement and sending over half a million troops to Vietnam to prevent a communist takeover of South Vietnam. After nearly 20 years of fighting, North Vietnam defeated South Vietnam and unified the country under communist rule. Over 58,000 American soldiers were killed and over 300,000 wounded during the long and divisive war.
Tensions mount
After World War 2, tensions rose between the US and its allies and the Soviet Union. The Soviets blockaded Berlin to push out Western influence, but the US airlifted supplies in response. This proved to the US that the Soviets could cause problems. In 1949, the US and allies formed NATO as a military alliance to counter the Soviet threat, while the Soviets formed the Warsaw Pact with Eastern European nations under its control. The Soviets sought to spread communism globally through both military alliances with neighboring states and ideological influence in countries experiencing revolutions.

Unit 15: The Cold War - Part 2
This document provides an overview of the origins and key events of the Cold War. It discusses the containment efforts by the US to stop the spread of communism around the world based on the Domino Theory. It describes how communism took hold in China and the division of Korea along the 38th parallel. The document outlines the Korean War and Vietnam War as major military conflicts driven by the US goal of containing communism. It introduces several important historical figures and leaders involved in these events, such as Mao Zedong, Ho Chi Minh, and Nikita Khrushchev.
East Asia after WWII
Here are the answers to the questions:
2. The domino theory described how communism could spread from one nation to neighboring countries. President Eisenhower believed that if one country "fell" to communism, the surrounding nations would likely follow. This theory was used to justify US involvement in conflicts like the Vietnam War to prevent further communist takeovers.
3. The US involvement in Vietnam escalated after the Gulf of Tonkin incident in 1964. This incident involved alleged attacks by North Vietnamese forces against US destroyers in the Gulf of Tonkin. In response, Congress passed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution which gave President Lyndon B. Johnson broad authority to assist any Southeast Asian nation. This allowed the US to escalate its military assistance
The Cold War
The Cold War was a period of geopolitical tension between the United States and Soviet Union from 1947 to 1991. It involved periods of rivalry, conflicts through proxy wars, and efforts at diplomacy. Key events included the division of Germany and Berlin after WWII, the Korean War, Vietnam War, Cuban Missile Crisis, and decolonization movements supported by both superpowers to weaken European colonial powers. While never directly fighting each other, the US and USSR engaged in an arms race, ideological battles, and conflicts by backing opposing sides in regional wars throughout the world.
Cold war 2017
The Cold War was a decades-long conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union that began in 1947 after World War II. It represented the ideological battle between capitalism and communism. Key events included the nuclear arms race, proxy wars like Korea and Vietnam, and the policy of mutually assured destruction. The Cold War ended in the late 1980s-early 1990s as communist governments fell in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union dissolved. Its legacy includes high military spending, unresolved conflicts, and establishing the U.S. as a global superpower.
Ch 29: The Cold War
The Cold War began due to tensions between the US and Soviet Union on post-WWII order. They disagreed on Poland's governance and the Soviet Union sought to control neighboring nations. This led to failures at conferences like Yalta and Potsdam. The US then pursued a containment policy to stop communism's spread. The Korean War broke out when North Korea invaded South Korea, leading to limited mobilization in the US and fears of communism growing. During the 1950s, McCarthyism and fears of communist infiltration caused a "Red Scare" in the US.

Cold War, What was it? Day 1
The document provides background information on the Cold War between the United States and Soviet Union from 1945 to 1991. It discusses that after WWII, political differences grew between the two former allies as they had opposing economic systems - capitalism vs communism. This created a climate of tension known as the Cold War, where they competed militarily and for global influence through proxies but never directly engaged in war. Tensions lasted until the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s.
communism-140109082228-phpapp01.pdf
Communism originated from ideas proposed in ancient Greece advocating for shared work and equal pay. It grew out of dissatisfaction with wealth inequality exacerbated by the Industrial Revolution. The goal of communism was to eliminate social classes and ensure fairness for all by distributing resources commonly. A prominent communist state was the Soviet Union (USSR), formed in 1922, which aimed to spread communist governments but faced tensions with the United States, leading to the Cold War period of international conflict and hostility between the two superpowers.
Australia and the Cold War
This document discusses Australia's involvement in the Cold War from 1945-1980. It provides context on the Cold War, defining it as the relationship between the US and Soviet Union without direct military conflict, but rather fighting through client states. It also explains how Australia supported the US as an ally and feared the spread of communism both within its own borders and to other nations. Key terms defined include communism, forward defence, and the domino theory. It discusses how the Australian Communist Party grew in influence in the 1940s-1950s and led to fears of communism domestically exploited by then-Prime Minister Menzies for political gain.
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.

The rivalry between the two superpowers was expressed through military coalitions, propaganda, proxy wars, espionage, and a massive arms race. Ultimately, the Soviet Union's economy failed under the burden of military spending and a lack of individual freedoms, leading to its collapse and the end of the Cold War, with the United States emerging as the victor.
