Historic Overview

The United States and the Soviet Union (1945-1960)

After World War II- the United 'tates e2!erienced !henomenal

economic gro)th. As the Cold )ar unfolded- the United 'tates

!ositioned itself as the )orld8s richest country. 1n its !art- the 'oiet

Union see,ed economic recoery and !olitical control )ith ose!h

'talin as its un9uestiona*le leader.

:ialry *et)een the United 'tates and the 'oiet Union for control oer

the !ost)ar )orld emerged *efore World War II had een ended. U.'.

!residents Fran,lin (. :ooseelt and ;arry '. Truman and soiet leader

ose!h 'talin neer really trusted one another- een )hile )or,ing

together to defeat their enemies.

1ne source of con3ict *et)een the United 'tates and the 'oiet Union

)as the fate of Eastern Euro!e. The United 'tates )as committed to

esta*lish free and democratic elections inthe region- )hile the 'oiet

Union )anted a *u+er 7one of friendly countries in Eastern Euro!e to

!rotect it from future attac,s from the West. The 'oiet Union

organi7ed Communist goernments in 4ulgaria and :omania- and in

;ungary and &oland in "#


3/23

A third source of con3ict )as !ost?)ar economic deelo!ment

assistance. The United 'tates refused a 'oiet re9uest for massie

reconstruction loans. In res!onse- the 'oiets called for su*stantial

re!arations from 6ermany. The tensions *egun to gro) until each

nation decided to create it’s o)n economic deelo!ment !lan- theUnited 'tates designed the Marshall &lan in order to start the

reconstruction of a !ost?)ar Euro!e and the 'oiet Union designed the

Moloto &lan or C1MEC1N in order to !romote reconstruction )ith it’s

allies.

The Truman (octrine in "#


4/23

!resence on the continent- and encouraging Euro!ean !olitical

integration.

&resident Truman ,e!t the /orean War "#D?"#DG limited *y refusing

to use nuclear )ea!ons against North /orea and China- a)are that

doing so )ould force the U'': to retaliate. Moreoer- &resident ()ight

(. Eisenho)er ,e!t his distance from the ;ungarian :eolution in

"#D$- ,no)ing full )ell that the U'': )ould not tolerate interference

in Eastern Euro!e. 0i,e)ise- the 'oiet Union made sacri@ces to ,ee!

the )ar Hcold *y *ac,ing do)n from the Cu*an missile crisis in the

si2ties. 4oth su!er!o)ers mistrusted one another *ut ,ne) that a

direct con3ict )ould hae unthin,a*le costs.

The scenario on )hich the Emerging Crisis Committee )ill ta,e !lace

focuses on a ,ey moment in the )orld- it is a !eriod )here the )orld

has suried the situation of the Cu*an Missile Crisis and is loo,ing

)ith sus!icion the future of the )orld.

The United States current situation

After a critical situation )ith the 4ay of &igs inasion- !resident

/ennedy has decided to launch an international !rogram called theHAlliance for !rogress )ith the o*%ectie to gie economic aid to

deelo!ing countries around the )orld. It is e2!ected that ".< *illion

dollars )ill *e directed to this !rogram- )hich certain critics thin, is a

)ay to sto! soiet in3uence from reaching more 0atin American and

African countries.

1n the other hand the United 'tates is loo,ing to !roide aid to a ne)

)ae of emerging countries that are loo,ing for inde!endence from

)orld !o)ers around the glo*e. ;o)eer )ith the U'': ta,ing the

same measures it is e2!ected that soon )ars among these in3uenced

nations )ill start creating )hat some analysts are no) calling H!ro2y

)ars.


5/23

The defense !rograms started *y !resident Eisenho)er hae turned

out to *e more successful than e2!ected and the 1rgani7ation of the

American 'tates is no) !laying a ,ey role in the American continent

)hile the 'outheast Asian Treaty 1rgani7ation has also started to gro).

In the Middle East and certain !arts of Africa and 0atin America a ne)moement has emerged and they hae no) formed a *loc ,no)n as

the Non Aligned Moement- mem*ers of these grou! hae claimed

neutrality regarding their relations )ith the 'oiet Union and the

United 'tates although it is not yet clear the role neutrality )ill !lay for

these nations the moement has gained im!ortance ad%oining

mem*ers li,e India- Egy!t- 5ugoslaia and Me2ico.

In the Middle East the United 'tates administration is ta,ing acom!lete focus on the current situation in Iran )here recent u!turns

since "#$ hae created an enironment of insta*ility )hich needs to

*e addressed. The entrance of the young Mohammad :e7a &ahlai

!romises to *ring sta*ility to a strategic !oint in the U.'. security and

energy future- it is in the U.'. and it’s allies’ national interest to aid the

strengthening of this administration in order to deter any soiet

attem!ts to desta*ili7e the region.

:egarding the international scenario t)o threats a!!ear to *e gro)ing-

the @rst is a guerrilla ty!e moement in (ominican :e!u*lic )hich

threatens to eliminate the sta*le regime currently in goernment and

the second scenario is the )ar in ietnam in )hich the United 'tates

has actiely !artici!ated since "#D#. (elegates )ill *e e2!ected to

consider this intelligence )hen ta,ing decisions since these are current

deelo!ing situations that )ill de@nitely limit or enhance the ca!acityto act.

After the arrial of First 'ecretary /hrushche the defense !rogram

)as modi@ed and it’s main focus is no) on nuclear )ea!ons as the

!rinci!al method of defense. If the U.'.'.: has a com!etitie stoc, of

nuclear materials it is almost im!ossi*le that the United 'tates )ill try

to attac, the 'oiet Union or it’s allies. A !eaceful coe2istence )ith the

*y Mao Ledong has !roed to *e an inalua*le ally and it seems that

their social and economic !rograms are raising China’s !osition in the

)orld.

0atin America is no) the main focus of the U.'.:.:. foreign !olicy

!rogram. The ideological moement of Ernesto HChe 6ueara has

sho)n 0atin American countries that the socialist system )ill allo)

their citi7ens to gro) )ith freedom and )ealth. The arrial of Fidel
