• Cold War “battles” occur in Europe, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East
• 1945-1991
6
Background: What
• Mutual distrust between U.S.A. and U.S.S.R. had been brewing since the 1917 Russian Revolution (when U.S. forces invaded Russia to assist the anti-communist troops)
• Americans are often ignorant of this part of their history…
7
Background: What
• The Soviet Union and United States united to defeat Hitler in WWII
• Once the war ended, differences became more apparent
• The Soviets lost 27 million people and saw mass devastation in the west of their country
• Americans lost just over 400,000 men and suffered no attacks after Pearl Harbor
8
Post War Desires
• At the Yalta Conference in 1945, Stalin agreed to self-determination for European nations after WWII
• Stalin wanted to ensure security for the Soviet Union (remember their losses)
• He wanted a buffer zone and he wanted to extract reparations from Germany

Cold War Definition
• The Cold War, often dated from 1947 to 1991, was a sustained state of political and military tension between powers in the Western Bloc, dominated by the United States with NATO among its allies, and powers in the Eastern Bloc, dominated by the Soviet Union along with the Warsaw Pact. This began after the success of their temporary wartime alliance against Nazi Germany, leaving the USSR and the US as two superpowers with profound economic and political differences. A neutral faction arose with the Non-Aligned Movement founded by Egypt, India, and Yugoslavia; this faction rejected association with either the US-led West or the Soviet-led East.
Ominous Words• "From Stettin on the Baltic to
Trieste on the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the continent [of Europe]. Behind that line lie all the capitals of the ancient states of central and eastern Europe.... All these famous cities and populations lie in what I must call the Soviet sphere."
Background: How• MAD: “Mutually Assured Destruction”—the belief that
neither the U.S. nor the USSR would ever commit to a nuclear attack because the result would be too devastating
• Brinkmanship: The practice of pushing dangerous events to the verge of disaster in order to achieve the most advantageous outcome. E.g. The Cuban Missile Crisis
• Proxy Wars: A proxy war or proxy warfare is a war that results when opposing powers use third parties as substitutes for fighting each other directly. E.g. The Korean War, The Vietnam War, The Iran-Iraq War
• Détente: The easing of strained relations, especially in a political situation. The term is often used in reference to the general easing of relations between the Soviet Union and the United States in the 1970s, a thawing at a period roughly in the middle of the Cold War.
Nixon and Kennedy

•In 1957, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik, a satellite, into orbit around the Earth.
•Soon after the United States established NASA. The race was on.
•In 1958 the U.S. launched its own first satellite. In 1961, the Soviets sent the first man into space.
•In 1969 the U.S. was the first nation to put a man on the moon. Both the Soviets and Americans explored the use of satellites for military purposes. (Star Wars, etc.)

After World War II, Chinese Communists defeat Nationalist forces and two separate Chinas emerge.
• Leads Chinese Communists against Japanese invaders– U.S. supports Nationalist state in Taiwan, called Republic of
China– Soviets and China agree to help each other in event of attack
• Mao’s Brand of Marxist Socialism– Takes property from landowners and divides it among
peasants• How different from Marx’s original theory? • Similar to the revolution in what other country?
– Government seizes private companies and plans production increase
• Communes — large collective farms often supporting over 25,000 people
• Program is ended after inefficiency leads to crop failures and famines
• Movement to build society of peasants, workers
• Red Guards — militia units formed to enforce strict communism in China– Teenagers, youth– close schools and execute or imprison many
intellectuals – Video
The Nonaligned Movement
1955-1970
• Many countries, like India, want to avoid involvement in Cold War
• Third World — developing nations; often newly independent, nonaligned
• U.S., Soviet Union, China compete for influence over Third World– Back revolutions and give economic,
military, technical aid – Some leaders (Nehru, Nasser) take
advantage of this competition
History
• At the Bandung Conference (Asian-African Conference), in 1955, 29 Asian and African countries identified themselves as neutral
– Adopted a 10-point “declaration on the promotion of world peace and cooperation,” based on the UN Charter and the Five Principles of Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru
• Non-Aligned Movement was formed in 1961
• Five founding members of NAM: Nehru of India, Tito of Yugoslavia, Sukarno of Indonesia, Nasser of Egypt and Nkrumah of Ghana
• Neutrality was not specific to the Cold War
• Over 100 states were involved throughout the 20th Century
Nehru and Zhou Enlai, leader of the People’s Republic of China at the Bandung Conference
Non-Alignment in Europe
• Almost no European countries were nonaligned, as the Iron Curtain and spheres of influence were centered in Europe
• Yugoslavia– After rejecting Soviet influence and being
expelled from Cominform, Tito’s Yugoslavia began receiving aid from the West
– However, after Stalin’s death, Tito realized that he would have to choose between allying with the West and giving up his single-party dictatorship, or reconciling with Khrushchev
– Neither choice appealed to Tito, so he became a founder of the nonaligned movement as an alternative
Non-Alignment in Asia
• Most of Asia was represented at the Bandung Conference
• Being a key organizer of the Bandung Conference, India’s leader, Jawaharlal Nehru, emerged as a non-alignment leader
• Indonesia and Malaysia also emerged as non-alignment country leaders
• Asia, along with other Non-Alignment Movement countries, tried to shift the global political agenda away from the Cold War to the needs of their poorer countries

Non-Alignment in India
• After independence, India’s relations with the United States diminished substantially
• India rejected U.S. capitalism, and created a series of five year plans, with a very small private sector
• As a result of the economic disputes between India and the U.S., India refused to join the U.S. alliance in the Cold War
• Because India did not fully support the Soviet Union either, India became an organizer of the Bandung Conference
• Indian leader, Jawaharlal Nehru went to the Bandung Conference with five objectives:
– Peace and Disarmament– Self-Determination– Economic Equality– Cultural Equality– Multilateralism through strong support of the
UN
The Third World
• The term Third World country was created during the Cold War
• During the Cold War, a Third World country referred to a country that was part of the Non-Alignment Movement
• Many Asian countries were labeled Third World countries because of their political position in the Cold War
• During the 1960s and 1970s countries part of the Third World used their majority vote in the United Nations to shift discussions and attention away from the Cold War, and to their countries’ needs.
Africa and the Non-Alignment Movement
• The majority of the present-day members of the Non-Aligned Movement are small African states that desire independence from the world’s superpowers
• Many of these nations joined soon after gaining self-determination from Western powers as a means of maintaining their autonomy and freedom
• Eleven of the original twenty-five members of the Non-Alignment Movement were African states. Fears of further colonialism or future dependence on either the Western or communist blocs encouraged these nations to join the movement which encourages equality, non-aggression, and peaceful coexistence.
• Although the threat of war was the dominant theme at the original summit meeting in 1961, the movement gained respect and influence as nations were given the right of “independent judgment” so that they could restructure the world economic order as well as prevent imperialism from permeating their independent societies.
• The main African nations involved in the Non-Alignment Movement were Egypt, South Africa, and Ghana.
Egyptian Involvement In The Non-Alignment Movement
• Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser played a major role in structuring the movement and its policies. He led a coup in 1952 that overthrew the royal family, and took power himself in 1954. Nasser made Egypt a one-party socialist state in 1956 and changed his title to president.
• As part of the movement to eliminate colonialism, Nasser decided to nationalize the Suez Canal in 1956, and caused great global unrest. The British and French required the canal as a passage from Europe to Asia, and Nasser intervened due to the British denying funding for the Aswan High Dam, and the retaliation from these nations led to UN intervention. Nasser then turned to the Soviet Union to gain the funds necessary to complete the dam. By seeking economic assistance from either power, Nasser created future expectations of the Non-Aligned Movement and its members. Although the movement defined its intentions, the members were not strictly bound to the policies, and many of them used realpolitik to achieve their own goals.
Other Nations And The Non-Alignment Movement
• South Africa became a member of the Non-Alignment Movement when it severed ties to the British Commonwealth in 1961 and consolidated the apartheid system. The Commonwealth opposed the apartheid system in South Africa, making the Non-Aligned Movement a justified means to end the relationship between the two nations.
• Iran had been under the economic control of Britain and Russia throughout the nineteenth century. The Non-Alignment Movement reduced ties with these superpowers, but Iran continued to receive some economic aid from the United States because of the American’s deep interest in the Iranian oil industry.
• Kwame Nkrumah led the non-violent Convention People’s Party and was instrumental in helping Ghana gain independence from Great Britain in 1957. Nkrumah became the president of independent Ghana and fought for the policy of Africanization. Ghana became a republic in 1960, and was a founding member of the Non-Alignment Movement.
Nkrumah
The Impact of Non-Alignment
• The Nonalignment Movement encountered several difficulties that made it less effective:– All members agreed to the ten-point
declaration and were against bloc politics, but they were by no means unified in their foreign policies or goals
– Many member-nations were from the Third World, and had little sway in international affairs compared to the powerful blocs
– The nonalignment movement succeeded in being an alternative to the bloc system and a means of avoiding the influence of the blocs
