  1. Discuss the following questions with your neighbor: Why do you think the Soviet Union and America become enemies after WWII? What is the difference between a “hot war” and a “cold war”? Anticipatory Set

  2. Yalta Conference

  3. Yalta Conference • In groups of three, create a very short dialogue for this picture of Churchill, Truman, & Stalin • Based on what you learned about WWII and your homework consider the following: • What does each of them want? • What do they think about each other? • Do they trust each other? Why/why not? • How will they deal with each other in the future?

  4. Cold War: Superpowers Face Off • In groups of 2-3 use book/notes to explain how each of the following actions or policies led to the Cold War between the US and SU: • Meeting at Potsdam, Germany • Policy of containment • Truman Doctrine • Marshall Plan • Blockade of Berlin • Formation of NATO • Policy of brinkmanship • Launching of Sputnik I

  5. Cold War: Superpowers Face Off • Meeting at Potsdam, Germany Stalin refused Truman’s demand to allow free elections in Eastern Germany and declared that war between the US and SU was certain • Policy of containment designed to stop the spread of Communism; US helped weak countries to resist SU advances • Truman Doctrine US support for countries that rejected communism intensified diplomatic hostility between the 2 superpowers • Marshall Plan US helped Western Euro rebuild to stop future Commie expansion in Euro • Blockade of Berlin led to Berlin airlift and SU admission of defeat • Formation of NATO led to formation of Warsaw Pact and divided Euro into two rival military camps • Policy of brinkmanship brought two superpowers closer to the edge of war • Launching of Sputnik I led to rivalry between two superpowers in science and education

  6. Cold War Political Cartoon • Use you notes/text book to create a political cartoon based on any of the Cold War topics/issues from 17.1 • Remember, a political cartoon is not a comic or story. • It is a picture with very few images and words that represent a bigger story.
