The “Iron Curtain”
From Stettin in the Balkans, to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the Continent. Behind that line lies the ancient capitals of Central and Eastern Europe.
-- Sir Winston Churchill, 1946

Ideological Competition for the minds and hearts of Third World peoples [Communist govt. & command economy vs. democratic govt. & capitalist economy] “proxy wars”
Bi-Polarization of Europe [NATO vs. Warsaw Pact]

From 1945 to 1991, the USA & USSR used a variety of strategies to win the Cold War
![Page 11: Can a ideological war be more dangerous than a physical war?](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060902/6299037c1531a9483c36cbe8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Truman Doctrine
In the early years of the Cold War (1945-1949), the USA used a containment policy to successfully
stop the spread of communism in Europe
Marshall Plan NATO Berlin Airlift
![Page 12: Can a ideological war be more dangerous than a physical war?](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060902/6299037c1531a9483c36cbe8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
When communism spread to China in 1949, the USA feared
the “domino theory” & became more aggressive in its
efforts to stop communism
The USA went to war in Korea to defend South Korea
from communism
The Soviet Union supplied weapons to the communists
in North Korea during the war
The type of indirect fight between the USA & USSR
is called a “proxy war”
![Page 13: Can a ideological war be more dangerous than a physical war?](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060902/6299037c1531a9483c36cbe8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
From 1949 to 1970, the Cold War escalated as a result of a nuclear arms race, space race, & espionage
![Page 14: Can a ideological war be more dangerous than a physical war?](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060902/6299037c1531a9483c36cbe8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The Arms
Race
![Page 15: Can a ideological war be more dangerous than a physical war?](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060902/6299037c1531a9483c36cbe8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The U.S. monopoly on nuclear weapons ended in 1949 when the USSR successfully tested an atomic bomb
The Soviet development of the atomic bomb led to a nuclear arms race between the USA & USSR
![Page 16: Can a ideological war be more dangerous than a physical war?](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060902/6299037c1531a9483c36cbe8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
In 1952, the USA tested the first hydrogen bomb which
is 1,000 times more powerful than the atomic bomb
The Soviet Union responded by
detonating its own hydrogen bomb in 1953
![Page 17: Can a ideological war be more dangerous than a physical war?](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060902/6299037c1531a9483c36cbe8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
By 1959, both the USA & USSR developed rockets called intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) that could deliver nuclear warheads to distant
targets
U.S. Titan ICMB from the 1960s Soviet ICMBs from 1960-1975
Soviet Transporter Erector Launcher (TEL) U.S. Polaris Submarine
![Page 18: Can a ideological war be more dangerous than a physical war?](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060902/6299037c1531a9483c36cbe8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
In the 1950s, U.S. President Eisenhower escalated the Cold War by using brinkmanship: threatening to use
nuclear weapons & willingness to go to the brink of war
If the USSR attacked a NATO
member, the U.S. would
use massive retaliation: attack every
major Soviet city & military target
As a result, the USA & USSR
began stockpiling nuclear weapons
& building up their militaries
![Page 19: Can a ideological war be more dangerous than a physical war?](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060902/6299037c1531a9483c36cbe8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
With the USA & USSR in possession of large nuclear stockpiles, each side could destroy each other:
this was known as Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD)
Throughout the Cold War, the USA & USSR
looked for ways to gain first
strike capability

In 1957, the USSR used its first ICBM to launch Sputnik, the
first satellite into space
Sputnik shocked Americans who feared the U.S. had fallen behind the USSR in
science & technology
As a result of Sputnik, the Cold War escalated into a space race to show American & Soviet dominance
![Page 22: Can a ideological war be more dangerous than a physical war?](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060902/6299037c1531a9483c36cbe8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
In 1958, the USA created National Aeronautics &
Space Administration (NASA) to catch up to the USSR…
…U.S. schools promoted math, science, & technology
The USSR repeatedly beat the USA in space by launching the first
man into orbit & orbiting the moon
NASA’s original seven NASA Mercury astronauts
![Page 23: Can a ideological war be more dangerous than a physical war?](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060902/6299037c1531a9483c36cbe8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
In 1962, President John Kennedy committed the USA to beating the Soviet Union
in the race to the moon
In 1969, Apollo 11 landed U.S. astronauts on the moon
