Origins of the cold war
The Cold War developed due to mistrust between the United States and Soviet Union after WWII. The US feared Soviet expansion while the Soviets wanted to rebuild and gain influence. This led both sides to build up their militaries. The US policy of containment sought to block Soviet influence without direct war. Events like the Berlin Blockade and Korean War escalated tensions, while NATO and the Warsaw Pact divided Europe between the allies. By the 1960s, the superpowers were engaged in an arms race and proxy conflicts in the developing world.

Here are potential responses to the assignment questions:
1. Soldier morale dropped as the war dragged on because they saw no end in sight to the fighting, they were frustrated by guerrilla tactics, and many turned to drugs as a coping mechanism. Specific examples include soldiers fragging officers, increased drug use, and disillusionment with the war effort.
2. The US military relied too heavily on superior firepower but did not understand guerrilla warfare or win over local support. They could have focused more on counterinsurgency, protecting civilians, and political solutions in addition to military tactics. Search and destroy missions and use of napalm/Agent Orange backfired by alienating the Vietnamese people.
The Cold War
Germany surrendered in 1945 and was divided and occupied by the Allies. The Potsdam Conference established this division and began de-Nazification efforts. Europe was largely bankrupt after the war while the US and USSR emerged as new superpowers. The Soviets wanted to rebuild the German economy to their benefit while the Americans prioritized self-determination, leading to the origins of the Cold War between them. Japan also surrendered in 1945 after atomic bombs were dropped and was remade under US occupation with a new constitution and demilitarization. These postwar changes established the foundations for the ensuing global Cold War conflict between capitalist and communist ideologies.
Chapter 39
The document discusses the methods used by the United States to contain communism during the Cold War. It describes how the Cold War began in Europe and expanded to Asia and other parts of the world. The US and Soviet Union engaged in proxy conflicts and competed for influence over newly independent nations. This competition eventually led to a dangerous nuclear arms race between the two superpowers, with both sides developing powerful new weapons like hydrogen bombs and missiles. The strategy of deterrence, also called Mutual Assured Destruction, emerged to describe the policy of maintaining a balance of nuclear terror.
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.

The document discusses key events and concepts related to the Cold War, including:
1) The emergence of the US and USSR as rival superpowers following World War 2 led to ideological and geopolitical tensions between capitalism and communism.
2) This resulted in an arms race, proxy wars, and the formation of opposing military alliances like NATO and the Warsaw Pact.
3) Major flashpoints and events that heightened Cold War tensions included the Berlin Blockade, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the Vietnam War.

Based on the information provided and advice from my advisors, I have decided to prosecute Francis Gary Powers. My reasons are:
1. Prosecuting Powers will demonstrate that the Soviet criminal justice system is fair and impartial, countering Western claims. This will score important propaganda points.
2. Prosecuting Powers will boost morale among Soviet anti-aircraft troops who worked hard to shoot down the U-2. Not prosecuting could damage their morale.
3. While releasing Powers may gain some prestige by portraying the Soviets as more humane than the West, prosecuting him still allows the Soviet Union to expose U.S. espionage efforts and score propaganda points that way. Overall, prosecution seems the

The document discusses the origins and key events of the Cold War between the United States and Soviet Union following World War 2. It describes the formation of institutions and policies aimed at containing the spread of communism, such as the Marshall Plan to rebuild Europe, the Truman Doctrine pledging support to countries resisting communism, and the establishment of NATO as a military alliance against the Soviet-led Warsaw Pact. The summary also mentions the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950, China becoming communist under Mao Zedong in 1949, and the policies of massive retaliation and rollback pursued under President Eisenhower to contain further Soviet expansion.
PowerPoint presentation about the Cold War.
The Cold War began after World War 2 and was a decades-long conflict between the United States and its allies against the Soviet Union and its allies. Though they never directly fought each other, tensions escalated over issues like the division of Germany and Berlin, nuclear weapons development, and proxy wars. By the late 1980s, the Soviet Union's economy had stagnated while American influence grew globally, contributing to reforms under Gorbachev and the eventual collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, bringing an end to the Cold War.

The cold war 1945 1990
The Cold War was a period of geopolitical tension between the United States and Soviet Union from 1945-1990. It arose due to their opposing political and economic ideologies of democracy/capitalism and communism/socialism. Tensions increased due to distrust between the two superpowers, their differing post-WWII goals, and Stalin breaking promises at Yalta regarding free elections in Eastern Europe. This led to an arms race and proxy wars as the US and USSR battled for global influence through policies like containment and the Truman Doctrine. Major events of the Cold War included the Berlin Blockade, McCarthyism, the Space Race, and the Cuban Missile Crisis.
The Cold War Notes - Thomas Vanderstichele
The Cold War developed as tensions grew between capitalist Western nations led by the US and communist Eastern nations led by the Soviet Union following World War 2. Major events and crises in the early Cold War included the Berlin Blockade, the formation of NATO and the Warsaw Pact, and the Cuban Missile Crisis. Attempts at détente saw some arms control agreements but also saw continued conflicts in areas like Hungary and Czechoslovakia. Growing economic troubles in the Soviet Union led Gorbachev to introduce reforms like perestroika and glasnost, weakening Soviet control over Eastern Europe and ultimately leading to the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.

Origins of the cold war
The Cold War developed due to mistrust between the United States and Soviet Union after WWII. The US feared Soviet expansion while the Soviets wanted to rebuild and gain influence.
