Study Guide The Cold War Social Studies, Grade 8
THE
COLD
WAR
During
and
after
World
War
II,
tension
between
the
United
States
and
the
USSR
grew.
Stalin
was
disappointed
in
many
of
the
United
States’
decisions
regarding
post-war
aid
and
nuclear
research.
As
a
result
of
this,
the
Soviet
Union
had
little
trust
in
the
United
States
and
President
Truman.
Another
fundamental
difference
in
the
two
nations
lay
in
the
ideas
of
democracy
and
communism.
Both
the
United
States
and
the
USSR
sought
globalization
of
their
ideas
and
political
structure.
At
the
forefront
of
this
was
the
need
to
restructure
Europe
after
World
War
II,
and
the
race
to
see
who
could
do
so.
The
two
countries
were
in
conflict
philosophically
but
did
not
resort
to
actual
physical
conflict.
The
resulting
‘Cold
War’
lasted
decades
and
involved
countries
all
over
the
world.
The
conflict
in
Europe
caused
the
continent
to
become
divided
almost
exactly
in
two;
the
east
and
west
were
at
odds
for
years
to
come.
The
issue
of
nuclear
weapons
was
the
source
of
much
concern
through
the
entirety
of
the
Cold
War.
This
threat
reached
nations
such
as
Cuba
and
Korea;
however
it
was
fortunately
avoided.
At
home,
the
United
States
vehemently
fought
against
the
threat
of
any
communist
activity.
Leaders
adopted
the
concept
of
containment
and
banned
any
communist
activity.
Despite
the
tension
that
existed
during
this
time,
the
U.S.
economy
prospered.
