The Cold War
Nuclear Arms Race
Friday, 2 August 13
The term ‘Cold War’ was first used
by George Orwell in 1945
In the article titled ‘You and the Atomic Bomb’
Friday, 2 August 13
1945 - July - The creation of the first atomic bomb
Tested in new Mexico at a site called ‘Trinity’
Hiroshima and Nagasaki - Similar bombs to ‘Trinity’ used
to end WWII.
Russians obtain top secret blue prints of the original
Trinity Design
1949 - Soviet Union detonated it’s first atomic bomb in
Kazakhstan (some say that this marked the beginning
of the Cold War).
Friday, 2 August 13
1954 - US announces policy of
“MASSIVE RETALIATION”
Meaning that any Soviet attack would be met with a
massive nuclear response.
As a result, then came the creation of the:

Recap....
Summary from Josh..
After world war two the big powers consisting of America, Britain and Russia came
together to have a conference named the "Yalta Conference" . This is where they
decided what to do with Germany now that the war was over and America had
dropped atomic bombs on Japan. The decided to split Germany and Berlin in half, the
western side was taken by the british and americans adopting their culture, the east
was taken on by Russia and became a communist country. The Berlin wall was built
though Berlin to split the city between the two opposing forces, America creates the
"Policy of Containment" in order to contain communism from spreading. The world
then moved on and America began further development into nuclear arms in
competition with Russia whom were also developing nuclear arms. This marked the
beginning of the cold war between America and Russia.

Space Race

Friday, 2 August 13
The Race Begins.......
After World War II both the United States and the Soviet Union realised
how important rocket research would be to the military. They each
recruited the top rocket scientists from Germany to help with their research.
Soon both sides were making progress in rocket technology.
The Space Race began in 1955 when both countries announced that they
would soon be launching satellites into orbit. The Soviets took the US
announcement as a challenge and even established a commission whose
goal was to beat the US in putting a satellite into space....
Friday, 2 August 13
On October 4, 1957 the Russians placed the first successful satellite into orbit. It
was called Sputnik I. The Russians had taken the lead in the Space Race. The
Americans successfully launched their first satellite four months later called the
Explorer I.
Friday, 2 August 13
The First Man in Orbit
The Soviets again won the race for putting the first man into space. On April 12,
1961 Yuri Gagarin was the first man to orbit the Earth in the spacecraft in Vostok
I. Three weeks later the US launched the Freedom 7 and astronaut Alan Shepherd
became the first American in space. Shepherd's craft did not orbit the Earth,
however. It was nearly a year later on February 20, 1962 when the first
American, John Glenn, orbited the Earth on the Friendship 7 spacecraft.
Friday, 2 August 13
Race to the Moon
The Americans were embarrassed at being behind the Space Race. In 1961
President Kennedy went to congress and announced that he wanted to be the
first to put a man on the Moon. He felt this was important for the country
and the western world. The Apollo Moon program was launched.
Friday, 2 August 13
Man on the Moon
After many years of experiments, test flights, and training the Apollo 11
spacecraft was launched into space on July 16, 1969. The crew included
astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins. The trip to the
Moon took three days.
Upon arriving Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin moved to the Lunar module,
called the Eagle, and began their descent to the Moon. There were some
malfunctions and Armstrong had to land the module manually. On July 20,
1969 the Eagle landed on the Moon. Neil Armstrong stepped outside and
became the first man to walk on the Moon. With his first step on the Moon,
Armstrong said "That's one small step for man,
one giant leap for mankind".

Add to your timeline.....
1955: Space race begins with both US and the Soviet Union
announcing that they would soon be launching satellites into orbit.
Effectively marks the beginning of the space race.
1957: Soviets put the first successful satellite into orbit called
Sputnik 1. Americans follow some months afterwards.
1961: Soviets put the first man into space.Yuri Gagarin inVostok 1.
1962: Americans put their first man into space
1961: America launches the Apollo Moon program was launched.
Kennedy says he will put a man on the moon within 10 years.
1969: Americans put the first man on the moon with Apollo 11.
Neil Armstrong becomes first man to set foot on the moon.
Friday, 2 August 13
Interesting Facts About the Space Race........
• The Russians called their space pilots cosmonauts meaning "sailors of the universe".
The Americans were called astronauts meaning "star sailors".
• Before Kennedy was assassinated, the Russians and the Americans were discussing
working together to put a man on the Moon. After he was killed, the Russians backed
off the joint venture.
• The US would likely have had the first satellite in orbit if they had been allowed to
use military rockets from the start. However, Eisenhower was worried he would be
called a warmonger if he used military rockets for space. He told the scientists they
must use research rockets instead.
• The Space Race was not a long series of successes. Both sides had plenty of failures
including crashes and explosions that resulted in the death of several astronauts.
