Agenda:
Containment in the Postcolonial World
1.
2. Review Journal 145 - How did the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union affect disparate regions such as the Middle East and Southeast Asia?
A: The Cold War was fought on a global scale. Both the Soviet Union and the U.S. believed that they were in a battle for the hearts and minds of the rest of the world. When democracy and communism clashed at any juncture in the world, the U.S. moved to intervene. The USSR and the U.S. both sought footholds in the Middle East to access oil and fight over the loyalties of the region, including Egypt, Israel, and Jordan. The U.S. entered the Vietnam conflict to preserve democracy in Southwest Asia.
3. Review Journal 146 - How was Kennedy's approach to the Cold War similar to and difference from Eisenhower's and Truman's?
A: In the sense of the ideological and political necessity of stopping the spread of communism, Kennedy was no different from his Cold War presidential predecessors. He initiated bold challenges to the Soviet Union with the Bay of Pigs invasion and during the Cuban missile crisis. However, Kennedy utilized his youthful ingenuity to bring into his cabinet a host of young and highly educated technocrats and to use unconventional methods, such as military special forces, to stop the spread of communism. He also created nonmilitary methods, such as the Peace Corps, to spread American values in Third World countries susceptible ton Communist influence.

Bell Ringer: Let's review America Voices 1-3 / Answers:
Q1 - They deemed him a security risk because in the 1930s and 1940s Graham joined the
communist front and subversive organizations, such as the American Committee for Democracy and Intellectual Freedom, and was honorary president for the Southern Conference for Human Welfare. They charged that he joined leftist organizations but not that he was a communist. There is no evidence in the documents that he was a security risk.
Q2 - Graham provided a persuasive defense by rejecting any support of Soviet communism or any other totalitarian regimes, including Nazism during WWII. He also outlined in detail the functions of the conferences, and organizations he took party in, emphasizing anticommunist, pro-labor, and New Deal-like social-welfare programs.
Q3 - Similarities include the immediate and dire threat to national security posed by any association with communist or left-leaning political organizations, the alleged government infiltration by communist spies, and the inability of the United States to stop the movement cause din party by communist sympathizers with the government.
Agenda:
***The development of the hydrogen bomb as an example of U.S. attempts to contain communism, stabilize the world's economy, and create an international security system.***
***Containment encountered strong nationalist movements in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.***

The Red Scare / M
5. Review Journal 143 - What factors led to the postwar Red Scare, and what were its ramifications for civil liberties in the United States?
A: The postwar Red Scare was caused by the news of spies in the government and an overall paranoia about the Communist threat that was rampant in both the government and society. Wisconsin senator Joseph McCarthy played on this paranoia and held televised hearings to root out "subversives." In doing so, he kept the threat of communism present in the American mind. The impact included the blacklisting of people accused of subversion, an increase in general paranoia regarding Communist infiltration, a diversion of national attention away from issues of social welfare, and a decrease in support of civil liberties within the United States.

Cold War Liberalism
7. Review Journal 144 - Cold War liberalism included the core programs of the New Deal welfare state, the development of containment policy to oppose Soviet influence throughout the world, and the fighting of so-called subversives at home. But this was not a second act of the New Deal. Instead, the Democrats adopted a combination of moderate liberal policies and anticommunism. Cold War liberalism was embraced by Democrats because it supported organized labor, a key component of the New Deal coalition.

Q2 - The data shows that the United States and the Soviet Union were, far and away, the leaders in the nuclear arms race.
Agenda:
IMPORTANT TO REVIEW:
• Differences between Communism and Capitalism.
• US and Soviet Union were on the same side in WWII.
• After WWII, Europe was in ruins and former colonial empires were crumbling. This set the scene for increased competition between the two superpowers, the U.S. and the U.S.S.R.
• The Soviet Red Army remained in Eastern Europe after the war, which led to the Soviet Bloc. At the same time, the United States developed policies of containment – in particular, the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan.
5. Timeline and PowerPoint Lecture
A. Hand out Cold War timeline and lead students through it using PowerPoint slides to draw attention to key events:
• Slide #1: The Iron Curtain Speech
• Slide #2: The Truman Doctrine
• Slide #3: The Marshall Plan
• Slide #4: NATO and Warsaw Pact
• Slide #5: Introduce question of the day:
Who was primarily responsible for the Cold War - The United States or the Soviet Union? Over the past decades historians have disagreed over this question. Today, we are going to look closely at some Cold War documents in order to address the question for ourselves.
6. Pass out Documents A and B along with Guiding Questions. Students read documents, answer questions, and record their initial hypothesis regarding the central historical question.
7. Share out answers and discuss.
8. Pass out documents C and D. Students read documents, answer questions, and record their second hypothesis.
9. Share out answers and discuss.
Whole class discussion:
• Who was primarily responsible for the start of the Cold War? What evidence do you have to support your claim?
• Which of these documents do you believe is most trustworthy? Why? • Did anyone’s hypothesis change? How and why?
• What other evidence would you need to strengthen your claim?

Bell Ringer: Review Haile Selassie/FDR assignment
Throughout his second term (1937-1941), FDR had to struggle with a public opinion averse to entering another foreign conflict. He delivered this address after the Japanese invasion of China in 1937. What does it reveal about his thoughts--and what does the fact that the address produced no significant policy change say about FDR's motives for delivering the speech?

2. Effects of the open wartime atmosphere. Despite these effects, why did homosexuals keep their sexuality hidden from authorities?
3. Review Journal 135 / A: Wartime migration caused an upsurge in racial violence as new populations of blacks, Hispanics, and whites competed for jobs. The increase in urban populations also contributed to an emerging gay culture.
Japanese Internment
4. Executive Order 9066: authorized the War Department to force Japanese Americans from their West Coast homes and hold them in relocation camps for the rest of the war.
5. Review Journal 136 / A: There are two reasons why Japanese Americans suffered heightened persecution compared to their German American and Italian American counterparts. The first reason is Pearl Harbor; Americans feared that Japanese Americans might serve as spies to assist another attack. The second reasons is rooted in the long history of animosity toward Asian Americans on the West Coast, and in California in particular.

70 years ago, on February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which eventually led to the forced removal of approximately 120,000 Japanese Americans and Japanese immigrants during World War II. These simple flyers, announcing the relocation of all persons of Japanese ancestry, were posted across California, Oregon, Washington and parts of Arizona ordering the evacuation of people of Japanese ancestry throughout the coastal states. Along with instructions on where to assemble, the flyers also stated what a family should and should not bring with them; among the items not allowed were pets, household goods, and furniture. Some families had as little as 24 hours to prepare to leave. They had no idea of where they were going or how long they would be gone.
