Today we studied for the ITED test and I figured out that I am a genius and Nick Petsche is NOT SMART!! And I found out that I am going to for my presentation tonight. Mr. Bruns did a three slide introduction over the Cold War. The Cold War is a political, strategic, and ideological struggle between the US and the Soviet Union.
Democracy is where people ultimately have the final say. Communism is where the government comes first and has alot of power over the people. The government "dominates" the societies. Capitalism is where people run and own their own businesses. Socialism is where the government runs and controls all businesses.
Zach Kloewer is starting his Presentation Today then Riley Finn is going next followed by Nate Ohms. Then tomorrow Nick and I are going to do our presentations because the movie we are going to watch next week is over mine and Nicks Presentations. Nick has not even started yet and mine is 43 slides long.
Zach Kloewer’s Presentation:
Causes of the Cold War
Germany was separated into four parts. The countries that had control in Germany were
The U.S., Great Britain, France, and the Soviet Union.
Atomic Bombs
The US made an Atomic Bomb and the USSR started to get mad that the US made it without telling the USSR. This almost caused a Nuclear War.
The Border Treaty
The Border Treaty was between the USSR and Poland. This treaty said the Russia could not attack Poland and this upset the US.
The Bolshevik Revolution
On October 34 and 25 of 1917, Bolshevik soldiers, sailors, and red guards stormed the winter palace and arrested some of the provisional government. This is often known as the bloodless coup because no body got hurt and the Bolsheviks took over power.
The Red Scare
The red scare was started because of a wide spread fear of anarchism and communism. It was brought up by Alexander Mitchell Palmer. He started illegally searching houses and deported expected Communists. This was the FIRST Red Scare.
Riley Finn’s Presentation
Policy of Containment
The US and the Policy of Containment was used to stop the spread of communism. This was used to build up foreign security. This Policy stopped the domino effect. President Truman best represented the policy.
George Kennan
George Kennan was the Creator of the Policy of Containment. He was the US ambassador to the Soviet Union and later in life to Yugoslavia and a diplomat he was. HE was the Leader of many different programs in his life time and he also was a critic of international policies.
Domino Effect
This was the theory that once one country became communist and that would cause more and more countries to become communist. The Taking of South Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia would cause the Domino Effect. The Domino effect was what caused the Policy of Containment. Thailand and Indonesia were not taken over.
