Today we all picked a president and now we have a group of people to research him. but are more on our own. jus have to decide who has what topic on which president. Our president is Lyndon B. Johnson. Jenna and i did accomplishments. NO cold war and non-civil rights.
FRiday we started the Cold War. (we reviewed over this a little bit today)
Causes: DIfferent political systems. US is based on democracy,capitalism and freeedom
USSR is based on dictatorship, communism and control
Each side thought their side was better then the other. distrusted the others intentions.
Stalin hated capitalism
Stalin breaking his promise to allow free elections at the Yalta Conference
American fear of a communist attack(Red Scared) and USSR's fear of a US Attack
>USSR's fear of the atomic bomb
>USSR's actions in their Herman zone
>USSR's goal to spread communism around the world
This feeling of suspicion lead to mutual distrust and this did a great deal to deepen the Cold War.
