Review from Monday CHINA: What Was the Experience Under Mao Zedong (1949-1976) Like? CHINA UNDER MAO (1949-1976) Review from Monday CHINA: What was the experience under Mao Zedong (1949-1976) like? CHINA UNDER MAO (1949-1976) ● Land redistribution- redistributed land amongst the peasants; killed landowners who resisted ● Formed collectivized farms ● Brought private industries under state control ● Copied Soviet Union’s Five Year Plans to increase industrial output CHINA UNDER MAO (1949-1976) ● “Great Leap Forward” (1958-1961)- established larger collective farms called communes; disastrous results- crop failures killed 20 million people ● Cultural Revolution (1966-1968)- Major push to establish an equal society of peasants and workers- Red Guards shut down colleges and schools, targeted anyone who resisted the communist regime COMMUNISM: Expectation vs Reality Expectation Reality? THE COLD WAR (1945-1991) ● Why do you think this period of time is known as the “Cold War?” ● What characterized this time period? ● Why did the USA and USSR have this kind of relationship after they fought on the same side in World War II? EARLY COLD WAR (1945-1975) ● Yalta Conference- February 1945- FDR, Churchill, and Stalin met in Yalta (USSR) to decide post-war terms- decided that Germany would be divided into zones of occupation amongst the Allies EARLY COLD WAR (1945-1975) ● Stalin felt a “buffer zone” of communist nations under Soviet control in Eastern Europe was necessary- why? ● Ignoring the Yalta agreement, Stalin installed communist governments in Eastern Europe- they would be “satellite countries” of the USSR ● This would become known as the iron curtain ● Harry Truman, Churchill, and Stalin met at the Potsdam Conference in July 1945- Truman pressed Stalin to permit free elections in Eastern Europe; Stalin refused EARLY COLD WAR (1945-1975) ● 1946: Stalin stated that communism and capitalism could not exist in the same world. Potsdam Conference (July 1945) By 1948, Europe was divided into two areas of influence: The democratic/capitalist West and the communist East. Germany was split in two: West Germany (divided between French, British, and American zones of occupation) and East Germany (occupied by the USSR) Berlin, Germany’s capital, which was in East Germany, was also divided in the same way 1961: The Berlin Wall was built to separate East and West Berlin EARLY COLD WAR (1945-1975) ● By 1947, the US had adopted the policy of containment- what does this mean? ● Truman Doctrine- US would support countries that rejected communism- How? Why might this be controversial? What effects would this foreign policy have on the US and other nations of the world for later decades? EARLY COLD WAR (1945-1975) Recall: What was Western Europe, Germany in particular, like after WWII? ● New international organizations like the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) would help stabilize Western Europe’s economies, but more help was needed ● The US took more action to help Western Europe- the Marshall Plan and the Berlin Airlift- How did these help Western European nations? Why did the US take these actions? What were the results of these actions? EARLY COLD WAR (1945-1975) ● 1949- The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was formed by ten Western European nations plus the USA and Canada ● The Soviet Union responded with the Warsaw Pact in 1955 Why were these alliances formed? How did they impact the Cold War? EARLY COLD WAR (1945-1975) ● The Cold War became a nuclear arms race- the USSR detonated its own atomic bomb (A-bomb) in 1949; the USA developed the hydrogen bomb (H-bomb) in 1952; the USSR developed its own H-bomb in 1953 ● US president Dwight D. Eisenhower (1953-1960) backed the policy of brinkmanship- if the USSR attacks, the USA will retaliate will full force What impact did the policy of brinkmanship have? EARLY COLD WAR (1945-1975) ● Brinkmanship led to fear of nuclear war throughout the 1950s and 1960s- this is best represented by the Cuban Missile Crisis, when the USSR had planted missile launch sites on the island of Cuba. ● JFK demanded the missiles be removed, and ordered a blockade of Cuba. ● USSR premier Khrushchev ultimately agreed to remove the missiles in return for a US promise not to invade Cuba. EARLY COLD WAR (1945-1975) THE SPACE RACE ● 1957- The USSR launched Sputnik, the first unmanned satellite ● 1958- The USA launched its own satellite ● 1969- USA sucessfully landed astronauts on the moon (Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Michael Collins) EARLY COLD WAR (1945-1975) ● While the USA and USSR never directly fought each other in the Cold War, the Cold War did play out in terms of “proxy wars” or “surrogate wars”- each backed certain sides in other conflicts ● Examples of Cold War proxy wars: ○ Chinese Civil War (1930-1949) ○ Korean War (1950-1953) ○ Cuban Revolution (1959-1962) ○ Vietnam War (1955-1975) EARLY COLD WAR (1945-1975) KOREAN WAR (1950-53): ● At the end of WWII, Japanese surrendered to the Soviets in the north and Americans in the south in Korea- the boundary was set at the 38th parallel ● After the war, North Korea, led by Kim Il Sung, attempted to unify the peninsula under communism ● After 3 years, the war ended in a cease-fire agreement at the 38th parallel ● Korea would be split between the communist north and democratic south- a demilitarized zone (DMZ) was created between the two nations EARLY COLD WAR (1945-1975) THE CUBAN REVOLUTION (1959) ● The US had supported unpopular dictator Fulgencio Batista ● Fidel Castro led a successful overthrow in 1959- the US placed an embargo on Cuba; Cuba turned to the USSR for help ● US attempted to invade Cuba to overthrow Castro in 1961 (Bay of Pigs invasion), but it failed EARLY COLD WAR (1945-1975) VIETNAM WAR (1955-1975): ● Ho Chi Minh had tried to grow Vietnamese nationalism, rid Vietnam of French influence- founded the Vietminh (independence) League. Wanted to unify Vietnam under communism. ● By 1955, the French had been driven out of Vietnam ● Vietnam had been divided between the communist North and democratic South at the 17th parallel ● Believing in the domino theory, the US got directly involved in the 1960s-70s- fought the Vietminh and Vietcong (communist supporters) ● Ho Chi Minh successfully unified Vietnam under communism in 1975 By 1975, Vietnam had been unified under communism EARLY COLD WAR (1945-1975) CAMBODIA AND THE KHMER ROUGE (1975-1978) ● In 1975, Communist rebels called the Khmer Rouge set up a brutal regime in Cambodia led by Pol Pot ● In an attempt to make Cambodia a rural communist society, 2 million people were killed ● Known as the “Killing Fields” LATER COLD WAR (1975-1991) ● In the 1970s, the US and USSR began to reduce tensions ● US adopted the policy of detente- a policy of lessening Cold War tensions. ● US president Nixon became the first US president to visit communist China and the Soviet Union ● Nixon and Leonid Brezhnev (USSR) signed the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) I Treaty in 1972, which reduced missile stockpiles ● 1979: Jimmy Carter (US) and Brezhnev signed SALT II, but the US Congress did not ratify it after the USSR invaded Afghanistan in 1979 LATER COLD WAR (1975-1991) COLD WAR IN THE 1980s: ● US President Ronald Reagan and British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher adopted strong anti-communist stances ● Meanwhile, Mikhail Gorbachev became the new Soviet leader ● In the mid-to-late 1980s, Gorbachev endorsed the policies of glasnost (openness), perestroika (economic restructuring), and democratization (opening of the political system) END OF THE COLD WAR (1989-1991) By 1991, the Soviet Union would cease to exist.

  • <K>EXTRACTS from the REPORT on the TRIPARTITE
    Volume 8. Occupation and the Emergence of Two States, 1945-1961 Excerpts from the Report on the Potsdam Conference (Potsdam Agreement) (August 2, 1945) The Potsdam Conference between the leaders of the Soviet Union, the United States, and Great Britain was held at Cecilienhof Palace, the home of Crown Prince Wilhelm Hohenzollern, in Potsdam, Germany, from July 17 to August 2, 1945. The Soviet Union was represented by Josef Stalin; the U.S. was represented by President Harry S. Truman, who had only been in office for a few months, having succeeded Franklin Delano Roosevelt on April 12, 1945. Winston Churchill represented Great Britain at the start of the conference, but after the Labor Party won the elections of July 27, 1945, he was replaced by the new prime minister, Clement R. Attlee, who signed the agreement on behalf of Great Britain on August 2, 1945. The agreement reached by Stalin, Truman, and Attlee formed the basis of Allied occupation policy in the years to come. The provisions with the most far-reaching consequences included those concerning borders. It was agreed, for example, that the Oder- Neisse line would be established as Poland’s provisional western boundary, meaning that Poland would undergo a “western shift” at the expense of German territories in Pomerania, Silesia, and Eastern Prussia. It was also agreed that the territory around East Prussian Königsberg would be ceded to the Soviet Union. In addition, the conference settled upon the “transfer” of Germans from the new Polish territories and from Czechoslovakia and Hungary. These measures constituted an essential basis for the division of Germany and Europe.

  • Primary Source Document with Questions (Dbqs) the POTSDAM DECLARATION (JULY 26, 1945) Introduction the Dropping of the Atomic Bo
    Primary Source Document with Questions (DBQs) THE POTSDAM DECLARATION (JULY 26, 1945) Introduction The dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki remains among the most controversial events in modern history. Historians have actively debated whether the bombings were necessary, what effect they had on bringing the war in the Pacific to an expeditious end, and what other options were available to the United States. These very same questions were also contentious at the time, as American policymakers struggled with how to use a phenomenally powerful new technology and what the long-term impact of atomic weaponry might be, not just on the Japanese, but on domestic politics, America’s international relations, and the budding Cold War with the Soviet Union. In retrospect, it is clear that the reasons for dropping the atomic bombs on Japan, just like the later impact of nuclear technology on world politics, were complex and intertwined with a variety of issues that went far beyond the simple goal of bringing World War II to a rapid close. The Potsdam Declaration was issued on July 26, 1945 by U.S. President Harry Truman, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and President Chiang Kai-shek of the Republic of China, who were meeting in Potsdam, Germany to consider war strategy and post-war policy. Soviet leader Joseph Stalin also attended the Potsdam Conference but did not sign the Declaration, since the Soviet Union did not enter the war against Japan until August 8, 1945.

  • The Marshall Plan and the Cold War ______
    Background Essay: The Marshall Plan and the Cold War _____________________________________________ The Cold War was fought with words and threats rather than violent action. The two nations at war were the United States and the Soviet Union. Although the two superpowers had worked as allies to defeat Germany during World War II, tensions between them grew after the war. Feelings of mistrust and resentment began to form as early as the 1945 Potsdam Conference, where Harry S. Truman and Soviet leader Joseph Stalin met. Stalin was interested in expanding Russia’s power into Eastern Europe, and the U.S. feared that Russia was planning to take over the world and spread the political idea of Communism. Truman’s response to the Soviet Union’s sphere of influence and current conditions of war-torn Europe would become known as the Truman Doctrine. This doctrine proposed to give aid to countries that were suffering from the aftermath of World War II and threatened by Soviet oppression. The U.S. was especially concerned about Greece and Turkey. Due to the slow progress of Europe’s economic development following WWII, Truman devised another plan to offer aid called the Marshall Plan. The plan was named after Secretary of State George Marshall due to Truman’s respect for his military achievements. Truman hoped that by enacting the Marshall Plan two main goals would be accomplished. These goals were: 1.) It would lead to the recovery of production abroad, which was essential both to a vigorous democracy and to a peace founded on democracy and freedom, and which, in the eyes of the United States, the Soviet Union had thus far prevented.

The establishment of FEC was decided upon in late December 1945 at the Moscow Conference of Foreign Ministers. It represented the Allied Powers led by the U.S., the U.K., China, and the U.S.S.R. as the top-level policy formulating body with regard to the occupation of Japan. The FEC was charged with the task of producing policies, principles, and criteria to which Japan would have to fully conform in order to implement the terms of surrender stipulated by the Potsdam Declaration. Date Range: 1945-1952 Content: 187,990 images Source Library: U.S. National Archives Detailed Description: All the activities of the multinational Far Eastern Commission (FEC), which oversaw the postwar governing and reconstruction of Japan, are fully documented in this publication of the records now held by the National Archives. Founded in Moscow in 1945, the FEC was composed of representatives from 11 countries, including the United States, the USSR, Great Britain, and Nationalist China. The body’s two main functions were to formulate policy in accordance with Japan’s obligations under the terms of surrender and to consult with the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers, who was in effect the country’s military governor. The FEC set up seven committees: Reparations, Economic and Financial Affairs, Constitutional and Legal Reform, Strengthening of Democratic Tendencies, War Criminals, Aliens in Japan, and Disarmament of Japan.

  • Yalta and Potsdam Conferences - the Premises of the Beginning of the Cold War
    International Journal of Academic Research and Reflection Vol. 7, No. 6, 2019 ISSN 2309-0405 YALTA AND POTSDAM CONFERENCES - THE PREMISES OF THE BEGINNING OF THE COLD WAR Alban Malia European University of Tirana ALBANIA [email protected] ABSTRACT In the 20th century, no state other than the United States of America had such a profound impact on people's lives. Germany unwittingly aided American supremacy in half of Europe and in the world. During the first half of the 20th century, Germany fell victim to its idea for inaccessible greatness. The violence created by the ideology of the "chosen nation" and of the "superior race" has created a memorable tragedy in the human consciousness. From year 1945 up to year 1990, Germany helped make the world fairer. It was completely destroyed by World War II and found itself in the center of the Cold War vortex. It didn't matter where the ideological adversaries would clash during the Cold War, there was always Germany in mind, and even the Cold War itself began for its own sake. Each of the three powers had brought in Yalta its own priorities. The British wanted to maintain their empire, the Soviets to strengthen and seal their conquests in Europe and go as far as the Far East and the Americans to put Russia in the Pacific war. The fate of Europe occupied almost the whole second day of discussions. The military of the three countries have presented the map, to how the areas of influence were to be divided and how the states, especially Germany, was transformed.
