Roots During WWII the United States and the Soviet Union had been

democracy). The U.S. allied itself with other western democracies

Slide 5 George Marshall & Winston Churchill Marshall Plan On
June 5, 1947, George C. Marshall proposed a plan to help
reconstruct the battle ridden areas of Europe economically. The
U.S. invited the Soviet Union to help with this plan, but they
declined. The U.S. along with 16 other Western European Nations
formed the program. Although the program was directed to help fight
the disaster ridden areas, the plan also hurt the Soviet Union. By
pouring million of dollars into European nations, the U.S. not only
helped those countries prosper but also gained allies who were near
the Soviet Unions territory. The Marshall Plan heightened the
friction between the United States and the Soviet Union The Iron
Curtain In a speech on March 5, 1946, Winston Churchill announced
that an iron curtain had descended across the continent. The term
iron curtain has been used since to describe the dividedness
between communist and democratic countries. Start Quiz Begin Lesson

didnt want to fall to communist regimes. Start Quiz Begin Lesson

Soviet Union cut off all supply routes to the Western controlled
parts of Berlin. To overcome the lack of supplies, the U.S. began
an airlift to provide the city with the needed provisions. Berlin

Cuban Missile Crisis In 1962, the Soviet Union, led by Nikita
Krushchev, began to store medium and intermediate ballistic
missiles in Cuba. For the United States, these missiles were too
close to the country and many feared the Soviet Union would launch
an attack. President Kennedy wanted these missiles and all other
weapons removed from Cuba. After many tense days, the Soviet Union
backed down and removed the missiles. The Cuban Missile Crisis was
the most intense confrontation of the Cold War. Start Quiz Begin
