Tengowski I 9 korean war
The Korean War began in 1950 when North Korea invaded South Korea, pushing UN forces back to the Pusan perimeter. The UN authorized US troops to defend South Korea and appointed General Douglas MacArthur. MacArthur launched an amphibious invasion at Inchon, surprising North Korean forces and pushing them back above the 38th parallel. However, Chinese forces intervened on behalf of North Korea and pushed UN forces back south. This led to a stalemate along the 38th parallel from 1951-1953, with heavy casualties on both sides, before an armistice was signed, dividing Korea along the original border.
I 9 korean war
The Korean War began in 1950 when North Korea, backed by the Soviet Union, invaded South Korea. The United Nations authorized troops led by General Douglas MacArthur to defend South Korea. MacArthur's forces were initially pushed back but then launched a successful counterattack that drove North Korean forces almost to the Chinese border. However, China then entered the war by sending troops to aid North Korea, pushing UN forces back to near their starting point. The war then stalemated along the original border between North and South Korea, with both sides unable to gain further territory. General MacArthur was replaced by General Matthew Ridgway after calling for expanding the war into China.

The document summarizes key foreign policy events during Harry Truman's presidency:
1) Truman immediately recognized Israel's declaration of independence in 1948 to support Jewish refugees and contain Soviet expansionism.
2) In response to the 1948 Berlin Blockade, Truman ordered the highly successful Berlin Airlift to supply West Berlin by plane when Soviet forces cut off land access.
3) In Vietnam, Truman sent military advisors to support the French against communist forces in 1950, but the country eventually fell to communism under his watch.
4) China became communist in 1949 when Mao Zedong's forces overran Chiang Kai-shek's nationalists, due in part to Soviet support for Mao,
I 2 the decision to drop the bomb
The Manhattan Project was a top secret US research program during World War II that developed the first atomic bombs. It conducted its first nuclear test called the Trinity Test in New Mexico in July 1945. A few weeks later, the US issued the Potsdam Declaration demanding Japan's unconditional surrender or face "prompt and utter destruction". When Japan did not surrender, the US dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima on August 6th and Nagasaki on August 9th, killing over 200,000 people. Though controversial, supporters argued it prevented a costly invasion of Japan and saved over 1,000,000 American lives.

This document provides an overview of the onset of the Cold War between the United States and Soviet Union following World War II. It discusses the key issues that divided the two superpowers, including the control of postwar Europe and the division of the continent between Western and Soviet spheres of influence. It also examines the beginnings of nuclear arms race and the development of opposing military alliances as the Cold War expanded globally throughout the late 1940s and 1950s.
Ch 24 sec 3
The US entered World War 2 after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. Over 16 million Americans joined the military and women joined the workforce, taking on jobs previously held by men. Japanese Americans on the west coast were forced into internment camps during the war. In the European theater, the US prioritized defeating Hitler. Key operations included invading North Africa and Sicily, establishing a beachhead in Normandy on D-Day, and defeating the final German offensive at the Battle of the Bulge. Germany surrendered on V-E Day in May 1945.
Ch 19 sec1
Following WWII, Europe and Asia underwent significant changes - Germany and Berlin were divided between the Western allies and Soviet Union, while the US took sole responsibility for rebuilding Japan and establishing a new democratic constitution under General Douglas MacArthur. Meanwhile, the Cold War emerged between the capitalist West led by the US and the communist Eastern Bloc led by the Soviet Union, which exerted control over countries behind the Iron Curtain and cut off access to West Berlin until the US launched a massive airlift of supplies; this instability continued with the outbreak of the Korean War as North Korea invaded South Korea across the 38th Parallel boundary.
Ch 24 sec 4
The Philippines were an important US base until the Japanese forced the surrender of US forces in April 1942. This led to the infamous Bataan Death March where thousands of Filipino and US prisoners of war died. In the Pacific Theater, the Doolittle Raid on Tokyo and the Battles of the Coral Sea and Midway turned the tide in favor of the US by stopping Japanese naval advances. The US also fought major battles to take Iwo Jima and Okinawa to reach the Japanese mainland. Meanwhile, the Manhattan Project developed the atomic bomb which the US dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 after Japan refused to surrender, leading to their surrender and the end of the war.

The document discusses the Nuremberg trials held after World War II. The Nuremberg trials were a series of 13 trials held in Nuremberg, Germany between 1945 and 1949 to prosecute Nazi war criminals. Key people from the Nazi Party, military, and German industries were charged with crimes against peace and crimes against humanity. The trials established an international court for dealing with genocide and other crimes against humanity.
The Cold War Notes Part 1
The Cold War began between the US and USSR after WWII due to tensions from their differing economic systems of capitalism and communism, as well as democratic vs authoritarian governments. This led to an arms race with nuclear weapons and the formation of opposing alliances like NATO and the Warsaw Pact. The two sides adopted policies of deterrence to prevent direct conflict and containment to stop the spread of communism without war. This maintained an unstable balance of power for over 40 years known as the Cold War.
Cold war1
The Cold War emerged from tensions between the Soviet Union and Western allies over the shape of the post-World War 2 order. Disagreements at conferences in Tehran, Yalta, and Potsdam failed to establish consensus. The Truman Doctrine and Marshall Plan sought to contain Soviet influence in Europe while mobilizing support for Western-aligned governments. The division of Germany and Berlin blockade heightened East-West tensions. The emergence of nuclear weapons and communist victories in China exacerbated fears, fueling anti-communist investigations in the US. The stalemated Korean War saw limited mobilization and control of industry under Truman. McCarthyism intensified the crusade against communist subversion through 1950s.
The United States and the Cold War
The document summarizes key events and individuals related to the Cold War in the late 1940s and 1950s:
- The Truman Doctrine of 1947 promised US support to countries resisting communism and led to the policy of containment of communism. This aided Greece in defeating communist guerrillas.
- The Marshall Plan (1947-1948) provided US aid to Western Europe to rebuild after WWII and prevent the spread of communism.
- Events like the Berlin Blockade (1948-1949) and formation of NATO (1949) increased tensions between the US and USSR in Europe.
- The Korean War (1950-1953) further escalated Cold War hostilities as US and UN forces fought against North Korea and

Hitler violated the Treaty of Versailles and annexed Austria and the Sudetenland without resistance. At the Munich Agreement, Britain appeased Hitler by allowing the annexation of Czechoslovakia, but Hitler soon invaded Poland, starting World War 2. Germany had early success using its new Blitzkrieg tactics to quickly defeat Poland, Denmark, Norway, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and France. Though the British rescued troops from Dunkirk, Britain stood alone against Germany until Hitler invaded the Soviet Union in 1941, opening a second front.

Benito Mussolini seized power in Italy in the 1920s and established a fascist government, creating the "black shirts" militia to enforce his rule. He invaded Ethiopia in Africa and Japan attacked Manchuria in China, and both faced ineffective responses from the League of Nations. In Germany, Adolf Hitler rose to power as the Nazi party leader and chancellor, preaching against the unfair Treaty of Versailles and beginning to remilitarize the country by sending troops to the Rhineland. The authoritarian leaders of Italy, Germany and Japan would later form the Axis alliance.

Ch. 17 section 3 the allies turn the tide
The Allies began to turn the tide of World War II in 1942-1943 with key victories. The Allies committed all of their resources to total war efforts on the home front and battlefront. This included mobilizing women for industrial jobs. A major turning point was the defeat of German forces at Stalingrad in 1943. In 1944, the Allies launched the massive D-Day invasion of German-occupied France on June 6th and succeeded in pushing back German defenses on the beaches of Normandy. By early 1945, with the Allied advance into Germany and round-the-clock bombing, Germany's defeat seemed inevitable.
The End of WWII
The document summarizes the key events surrounding the end of World War II in both Europe and the Pacific. In Europe, Germany unconditionally surrendered in May 1945 after the Soviets took Berlin. In the Pacific, the U.S. dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 after fierce Japanese resistance on Okinawa, killing tens of thousands. Japan formally surrendered on September 2, 1945, bringing World War II to an end. The document poses questions around the necessity and morality of using atomic weapons against Japan to end the war.
Harry Truman
President Harry Truman became president in 1945 after Franklin D. Roosevelt's death. During his presidency, he authorized dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, leading to Japan's surrender. The emergence of nuclear weapons and tensions with the Soviet Union marked the beginning of the Cold War. Truman pursued a policy of communist containment and established institutions like NATO and the Truman Doctrine to provide aid against Soviet expansionism. One crisis during this period was the Berlin Blockade by the Soviet Union in 1948, to which Truman responded by organizing the Berlin Airlift to supply West Berlin by air until the blockade ended.
Ch. 27 notes
After World War II, the Soviet Union and the United States emerged as geopolitical rivals in what became known as the Cold War, which was mainly fought through diplomatic and strategic means but also led to proxy military conflicts around the world over the next four decades. Key events that exacerbated tensions included the USSR blocking Western access to Berlin, the Soviet development of nuclear weapons, and the spread of communism to China and conflicts in Korea and Vietnam, where the two superpowers backed opposing sides.

The document discusses the rise of totalitarian governments in Germany, Italy, Japan, and the Soviet Union in the 1930s-1940s and their aggressive actions which led countries like the UK and France to form an Allied alliance. It also discusses how the US initially pursued isolationism but began providing aid to the UK through Lend-Lease and faced growing threats from Japan in Asia, culminating in the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 which caused the US to enter World War 2 by declaring war on Japan.
The vietnam war1
The United States fought in Vietnam due to the Domino Theory, which held that if Vietnam fell to communism, other countries like Laos and Cambodia would as well. This violated the US policy of containment to stop the spread of communism. The US lost because of underestimating Vietnamese tactics like guerilla warfare and tunnel systems, as well as overestimating the impact of US firepower. The antiwar movement grew due to the human costs of the war and the use of chemical weapons like Agent Orange and napalm. The war deeply divided Americans and eroded trust in government.
United States History Ch. 14 Section 3 Notes
After Japan's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States entered World War II. A wave of patriotism swept the nation as Americans joined the military and supported the war effort. The economy shifted to a wartime footing, ending the Great Depression. However, early victories went to Japan as they took territories across the Pacific. By mid-1942, though losses mounted and hopes for a quick victory faded, the US began to turn the tide at battles like Coral Sea.

Truman-Foreign Policy
Truman pursued an aggressive foreign policy in response to the rise of communism in the postwar world. Some key aspects included establishing the UN for international cooperation, occupying Japan to rebuild it as a democracy, and implementing the containment policy to rollback Soviet expansion in Europe and Asia through policies like the Truman Doctrine and Marshall Plan. This involved providing economic and military aid to countries threatened by communism like Greece, Turkey, and West Berlin during the Berlin Airlift crisis. However, communism still spread to China which became a loss for Truman's containment efforts.
Cold War in Germany
The Potsdam Conference divided Germany into four occupied zones after World War II. Berlin was also divided. In 1948, the western zones formed West Germany in response to the Soviets refusing to end their occupation. The Cold War began as the US and USSR competed for influence, with the US pursuing containment and the USSR establishing satellite states in Eastern Europe. The Berlin Airlift provided supplies to West Berlin when it was blockaded. NATO and the Warsaw Pact formed military alliances on either side of the Iron Curtain dividing Europe. The Cold War then spread to Asia as communism took hold in China and the Korean War began.

Truman doctrine and containment
1. After WWII, the US and USSR emerged as rival superpowers competing for global influence, leading to tensions in Europe and the establishment of communist governments in Eastern Europe under Stalin.
2. In response, the US formulated the policy of containment to prevent the spread of communism and provided aid to Greece and Turkey through the Truman Doctrine, marking the beginning of the Cold War.
3. The Cold War escalated with the development of nuclear weapons by both sides and establishment of opposing military alliances like NATO and the Warsaw Pact.
The cold war
The Cold War lasted from 1945 to 1991 between the US and Soviet Union. Though they never directly fought each other, they competed for influence and power through espionage, propaganda, arms build up, and proxy wars. The US policy of containment aimed to stop the spread of communism through economic and military aid programs like the Truman Doctrine, Marshall Plan, and proxy wars in Korea and Vietnam.
Beginnings of the Cold War - Cold War I
The Cold War began as tensions rose between the United States and Soviet Union following World War II. Stalin imposed communist control over Eastern Europe, drawing an "Iron Curtain" across the continent. The US responded with the Truman Doctrine and Marshall Plan to contain the spread of communism and help rebuild Europe. When the Soviets blockaded West Berlin in 1948, the US organized the Berlin Airlift to supply the city from the air until the blockade was lifted in 1949. NATO was formed in 1949 as a military alliance between Western nations aimed at deterring Soviet expansion.

May 12, 1947
It has been an incredibly difficult few years for our country since the end of World War II. The civil war has torn Greece apart and brought immense suffering to many. Just when it seemed things could not get any worse, the communists were gaining more and more power and control. It seemed almost certain that they would take over the entire government.
But in his speech to Congress yesterday, American President Harry Truman announced a new policy that has given us hope - the Truman Doctrine. He pledged American economic and military aid to help Greece and Turkey resist communist pressures and domination. This aid
