since
World War II
RC 4
VUS.13bThe student will demonstrate knowledge of United States foreign policy since
World War II by
b) explaining the origins of the Cold War, and describing the Truman Doctrine
and the policy of containment of communism, the American role in wars in Korea
and Vietnam, and the role of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in
Europe.
VUS.13b Essential
Questions
• How did the United States respond to the threat of
communist expansion?
• What are the origins of the Cold War?
• What were the early significant events of the Cold War?
• What was the impact of the Cold War on Americans at
home?
• What was the impact of the Vietnam War on Americans
at home?
VUS.13b Essential
Understandings
• The Cold War set the framework for global politics for 45 years after the end of
World War II. It also influenced American domestic politics, the conduct of
foreign affairs, and the role of the government in the economy after 1945.
• The Cold War was essentially a competition between two very different ways of
organizing government, society, and the economy: the American-led western
nations’ belief in democracy, individual freedom, and a market economy, and the
Soviet belief in a totalitarian state and socialism.
• The United States government’s anti-communist strategy of containment in Asia
led to America’s involvement in the Korean and Vietnamese Wars. The Vietnam
War demonstrated the power of American public opinion in reversing foreign
policy. It tested the democratic system to its limits, left scars on American society
that have not yet been erased, and made many Americans deeply skeptical of
future military or even peacekeeping interventions.
Origins of the Cold
War
• The Cold War lasted from the end of World War II until
the collapse of the Soviet Union. (1945-1991)
• The United States and the Soviet Union represented
starkly different fundamental values.
VUS.13b

Government Democratic Totalitarian
Economic Free Market Communist
Cold War Map – World
Cold War Map – Europe
Origins of the Cold
War
• The Truman Doctrine of “containment of communism” was a guiding
principle of American foreign policy throughout the Cold War, not to
roll it back, but to keep it from spreading and to resist communist
aggression into other countries.
VUS.13b
Origins of the Cold
War
• The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)
• Was formed as a defensive alliance among the United States and western
European countries to prevent a Soviet invasion of Western Europe.
• Soviet allies in Eastern Europe formed the Warsaw Pact, and for
nearly 50 years, both sides maintained large military forces facing
each other in Europe.
VUS.13b
Origins of the Cold
War
• The communist takeover in China shortly after World War II increased
American fears of communist domination of most of the world.
• Rather than becoming strong allies, however, the communist nations
of China and the Soviet Union eventually became rivals for territory
and diplomatic influence, a split that American foreign policy under
President Nixon in the 1970s exploited.
VUS.13b
Origins of the Cold
War
• After the Soviet Union matched the United States in nuclear weaponry
in the 1950s, the threat of a nuclear war that would destroy both
countries was ever-present throughout the Cold War.
• America, under President Eisenhower, adopted a policy of “massive
retaliation” to deter any nuclear strike by the Soviets.
• Massive Retaliation= they send 1 nuclear weapon at us we send all of ours
at them
VUS.13b
The Korean War
• American involvement in the
Korean War in the early
1950s reflected the American
policy of containment of
communism.
• After communist North
Korea invaded South Korea,
American military forces led
a United Nations
counterattack that drove deep
into North Korea itself.
• Communist Chinese forces
came into the war on the side
of North Korea, and although
the war threatened to widen,
it eventually ended in a
stalemate with South Korea
free of communist
occupation.
VUS.13b
The Vietnam War
• American involvement in
Vietnam also reflected the Cold
War policy of containment of
communism.
• Beginning in the 1950s and
continuing into the early 1960s,
the communist government of
North Vietnam attempted to
install through force a
communist government in
South Vietnam.
• The United States helped South
Vietnam resist.
VUS.13a
The Vietnam War
• The American military buildup
in Vietnam began under
President John Kennedy.
• After Kennedy’s assassination
in 1963, the buildup was
intensified under President
Lyndon Johnson.
• The scale of combat in
Vietnam grew larger during
the 1960s. American military
forces repeatedly defeated the
North Vietnamese forces in the
field, but by fighting a limited
war, could not force an end to
the war on favorable terms.
VUS.13a
The Vietnam War
• America became bitterly divided over the issue.
• While there was support for the American military and
conduct of the war among many Americans, others
opposed the war
• Active opposition to the war mounted, especially on
college campuses.
VUS.13a
The Vietnam War
• After Johnson declined to
seek re-election, President
Nixon was elected on a
pledge to bring the war to
an honorable end.
• He instituted a policy of
“Vietnamization,”
• Withdrawing American
troops and replacing them
with South Vietnamese
forces while maintaining
military aid to the South
Vietnamese.
VUS.13a
The Vietnam War
• Ultimately “Vietnamization” failed
• South Vietnamese troops proved unable to resist invasion by the Soviet-
supplied North Vietnamese Army.
• President Nixon was forced out of office by the Watergate scandal.
• In 1975, North and South Vietnam were merged under communist
control.
VUS.13a
Cuba
• Cuba was also a site of Cold War confrontations.
• Fidel Castro led a communist revolution that took over
Cuba in the late 1950s. Many Cubans fled to Florida and
later attempted to invade Cuba and overthrow Castro.
This “Bay of Pigs” invasion failed.
18
VUS.13b
Cuban Missile Crisis
• In 1962, the Soviet
Union stationed
missiles in Cuba,
instigating the Cuban
Missile Crisis.
• President Kennedy
ordered the Soviets to
remove their missiles,
and for several days
the world was on the
brink of nuclear war.
• Eventually, the Soviet
leadership “blinked”
and removed their
missiles.
19
VUS.13b
Impact of the Cold War at home
• The fear of communism
and the threat of nuclear
war affected American
life throughout the Cold
War.
• During the 1950s and
1960s, American schools
regularly held drills to
train children what to do
in case of a nuclear
attack
• American citizens were
urged by the government
to build bomb shelters in
their own basements.
20
VUS.13b
Impact of the Cold
War at home
• The convictions of Alger Hiss
• Julius and Ethel Rosenberg for spying for the Soviet Union and the
construction of nuclear weapons by the Soviets, using technical
secrets obtained through spying
• Increased domestic fears of communism.
21
VUS.13b
Impact of the Cold War at
home
• Senator Joseph McCarthy
played on American fears of
communism by recklessly
accusing many American
governmental officials and
other citizens of being
communists, based on flimsy
or no evidence.
• This led to the coining of the
term McCarthyism—the
making of false accusations
based on rumor or guilt by
association.
22
VUS.13b
Impact of the Cold
War at home
• The Cold War made foreign policy a major issue in every
presidential election during the period.
23
VUS.13b
Impact of the Cold
War at home
• The heavy military expenditures
throughout the Cold War benefited
Virginia’s economy proportionately
more than any other state, especially
in Hampton Roads, home to several
large naval and air bases
• Northern Virginia, home to the
Pentagon and numerous private
companies that contract with the
military.

Cold War
• President Kennedy, a
World War II veteran, was
assassinated in 1963 in
Dallas, Texas, in an event
that shook the nation’s
confidence and began a
period of internal strife and
divisiveness, especially
spurred by divisions over
United States involvement
in Vietnam.
VUS.13c
American military
forces during the

• Unlike veterans of World War
II, who returned to a grateful
and supportive nation,
Vietnam veterans returned
often to face indifference or
outright hostility from some
who opposed the war.

war that the wounds of the
war began to heal in America,
and Vietnam veterans were

  • 2. VUS.13bThe student will demonstrate knowledge of United States foreign policy since World War II by b) explaining the origins of the Cold War, and describing the Truman Doctrine and the policy of containment of communism, the American role in wars in Korea and Vietnam, and the role of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in Europe.
  • 3. VUS.13b Essential Questions • How did the United States respond to the threat of communist expansion? • What are the origins of the Cold War? • What were the early significant events of the Cold War? • What was the impact of the Cold War on Americans at home? • What was the impact of the Vietnam War on Americans at home?
  • 4. VUS.13b Essential Understandings • The Cold War set the framework for global politics for 45 years after the end of World War II. It also influenced American domestic politics, the conduct of foreign affairs, and the role of the government in the economy after 1945. • The Cold War was essentially a competition between two very different ways of organizing government, society, and the economy: the American-led western nations’ belief in democracy, individual freedom, and a market economy, and the Soviet belief in a totalitarian state and socialism. • The United States government’s anti-communist strategy of containment in Asia led to America’s involvement in the Korean and Vietnamese Wars. The Vietnam War demonstrated the power of American public opinion in reversing foreign policy. It tested the democratic system to its limits, left scars on American society that have not yet been erased, and made many Americans deeply skeptical of future military or even peacekeeping interventions.
  • 5. Origins of the Cold War • The Cold War lasted from the end of World War II until the collapse of the Soviet Union. (1945-1991) • The United States and the Soviet Union represented starkly different fundamental values. VUS.13b USA Soviet Union Government Democratic Totalitarian Economic Free Market Communist
  • 6. Cold War Map – World
  • 7. Cold War Map – Europe
  • 8. Origins of the Cold War • The Truman Doctrine of “containment of communism” was a guiding principle of American foreign policy throughout the Cold War, not to roll it back, but to keep it from spreading and to resist communist aggression into other countries. VUS.13b
  • 9. Origins of the Cold War • The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) • Was formed as a defensive alliance among the United States and western European countries to prevent a Soviet invasion of Western Europe. • Soviet allies in Eastern Europe formed the Warsaw Pact, and for nearly 50 years, both sides maintained large military forces facing each other in Europe. VUS.13b
  • 10. Origins of the Cold War • The communist takeover in China shortly after World War II increased American fears of communist domination of most of the world. • Rather than becoming strong allies, however, the communist nations of China and the Soviet Union eventually became rivals for territory and diplomatic influence, a split that American foreign policy under President Nixon in the 1970s exploited. VUS.13b
  • 11. Origins of the Cold War • After the Soviet Union matched the United States in nuclear weaponry in the 1950s, the threat of a nuclear war that would destroy both countries was ever-present throughout the Cold War. • America, under President Eisenhower, adopted a policy of “massive retaliation” to deter any nuclear strike by the Soviets. • Massive Retaliation= they send 1 nuclear weapon at us we send all of ours at them VUS.13b
  • 12. The Korean War • American involvement in the Korean War in the early 1950s reflected the American policy of containment of communism. • After communist North Korea invaded South Korea, American military forces led a United Nations counterattack that drove deep into North Korea itself. • Communist Chinese forces came into the war on the side of North Korea, and although the war threatened to widen, it eventually ended in a stalemate with South Korea free of communist occupation. VUS.13b
  • 13. The Vietnam War • American involvement in Vietnam also reflected the Cold War policy of containment of communism. • Beginning in the 1950s and continuing into the early 1960s, the communist government of North Vietnam attempted to install through force a communist government in South Vietnam. • The United States helped South Vietnam resist. VUS.13a
  • 14. The Vietnam War • The American military buildup in Vietnam began under President John Kennedy. • After Kennedy’s assassination in 1963, the buildup was intensified under President Lyndon Johnson. • The scale of combat in Vietnam grew larger during the 1960s. American military forces repeatedly defeated the North Vietnamese forces in the field, but by fighting a limited war, could not force an end to the war on favorable terms. VUS.13a
  • 15. The Vietnam War • America became bitterly divided over the issue. • While there was support for the American military and conduct of the war among many Americans, others opposed the war • Active opposition to the war mounted, especially on college campuses. VUS.13a
  • 16. The Vietnam War • After Johnson declined to seek re-election, President Nixon was elected on a pledge to bring the war to an honorable end. • He instituted a policy of “Vietnamization,” • Withdrawing American troops and replacing them with South Vietnamese forces while maintaining military aid to the South Vietnamese. VUS.13a
  • 17. The Vietnam War • Ultimately “Vietnamization” failed • South Vietnamese troops proved unable to resist invasion by the Soviet- supplied North Vietnamese Army. • President Nixon was forced out of office by the Watergate scandal. • In 1975, North and South Vietnam were merged under communist control. VUS.13a
  • 18. Cuba • Cuba was also a site of Cold War confrontations. • Fidel Castro led a communist revolution that took over Cuba in the late 1950s. Many Cubans fled to Florida and later attempted to invade Cuba and overthrow Castro. This “Bay of Pigs” invasion failed. 18 VUS.13b
  • 19. Cuban Missile Crisis • In 1962, the Soviet Union stationed missiles in Cuba, instigating the Cuban Missile Crisis. • President Kennedy ordered the Soviets to remove their missiles, and for several days the world was on the brink of nuclear war. • Eventually, the Soviet leadership “blinked” and removed their missiles. 19 VUS.13b
  • 20. Impact of the Cold War at home • The fear of communism and the threat of nuclear war affected American life throughout the Cold War. • During the 1950s and 1960s, American schools regularly held drills to train children what to do in case of a nuclear attack • American citizens were urged by the government to build bomb shelters in their own basements. 20 VUS.13b
  • 21. Impact of the Cold War at home • The convictions of Alger Hiss • Julius and Ethel Rosenberg for spying for the Soviet Union and the construction of nuclear weapons by the Soviets, using technical secrets obtained through spying • Increased domestic fears of communism. 21 VUS.13b
  • 22. Impact of the Cold War at home • Senator Joseph McCarthy played on American fears of communism by recklessly accusing many American governmental officials and other citizens of being communists, based on flimsy or no evidence. • This led to the coining of the term McCarthyism—the making of false accusations based on rumor or guilt by association. 22 VUS.13b
  • 23. Impact of the Cold War at home • The Cold War made foreign policy a major issue in every presidential election during the period. 23 VUS.13b
  • 24. Impact of the Cold War at home • The heavy military expenditures throughout the Cold War benefited Virginia’s economy proportionately more than any other state, especially in Hampton Roads, home to several large naval and air bases • Northern Virginia, home to the Pentagon and numerous private companies that contract with the military. 24 VUS.13b
  • 25. VUS.13c The student will demonstrate knowledge of United States foreign policy since World War II by c) explaining the role of America’s military and veterans in defending freedom during the Cold War.
  • 26. VUS.13c Essential Questions • How did America’s military forces defend freedom during the Cold War?
  • 27. VUS.13c Essential Understandings • A strong military was the key to America’s victory over the Soviet Union in the Cold War. • Millions of Americans served in the military during the Cold War. • Their service was often at great personal and family sacrifice, yet they did their duty.
  • 28. American military forces during the Cold War • President Kennedy pledged in his inaugural address that the United States would • “pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty.” • In the same address, he also said, • “Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.” VUS.13c
  • 29. American military forces during the Cold War • During the Cold War era, millions of Americans served in the military, defending freedom in wars and conflicts that were not always popular. • Many were killed or wounded. As a result of their service, the United States and American ideals of democracy and freedom ultimately prevailed in the Cold War struggle with Soviet communism. VUS.13c
  • 30. American military forces during the Cold War • President Kennedy, a World War II veteran, was assassinated in 1963 in Dallas, Texas, in an event that shook the nation’s confidence and began a period of internal strife and divisiveness, especially spurred by divisions over United States involvement in Vietnam. VUS.13c
  • 31. American military forces during the Cold War • Unlike veterans of World War II, who returned to a grateful and supportive nation, Vietnam veterans returned often to face indifference or outright hostility from some who opposed the war. • It was not until several years after the end of the Vietnam war that the wounds of the war began to heal in America, and Vietnam veterans were recognized and honored for their service and sacrifices. VUS.13c
  • 32. VUS.13dThe student will demonstrate knowledge of United States foreign policy since World War II by d) explaining the collapse of communism and the end of the Cold War, including the role of Ronald Reagan in making foreign policy.
