    Extractions: THE COLD WAR Even before World War II had ended, the victors were competing to achieve the best possible postwar position. As long as a powerful common enemy remained in the field, the great coalition held together. The common interest in defeating the Axis states transcended and muted the latent rivalry and conflict between the Soviet Union and the two leading Western powers, Great Britain and the United States. Whatever the wartime cooperation had done to reduce the basic hostility that had previously marked Soviet relations with the leading democratic and capitalist states, the common heroism and sacrifices could not submerge the basic relationship that East and West were destined to assume toward one another. Rivalry is endemic to the nation-state system. The nature of the system compels every participant to provide its own security; and one nation's security is ant.her nation.s insecurity. The logic of the nation-state system breeds insecurity, distrust, rivalry, and hostility. In theory all members are enemy to the others, but in practice the international system at any given time does not generally comprise all nations attracting and repelling each other at random. Because all nations are not of equal strength or in exactly similar geographic relationships to each other, or uniformly willing to accept the status quo, individual nation-states sometimes modify the degree of hostility toward certain other nation-states in order to band together to enhance their security against another seemingly threatening single state or cluster of states.

    Extractions: PLAY VIDEO EXTRA INFORMATION FACTFILE: The missing Japanese (CNN) An appearance in a 1980s North Korean propaganda movie was the first evidence alerting U.S. officials to the fact a deserter, Charles Robert Jenkins, was still alive in North Korea. The plot thickened considerably when his wife Hitomi Soga arrived in Japan last month from North Korea. Like that of Jenkins her story also also reads like a tale from a Cold War spy thriller. At 19 years-of-age she was abducted by North Korea agents off the Japanese coast and given up for dead. Soga is one of five known survivors among at least 13 Japanese abducted to the North by communist agents in the 1970s.

87. Thaw In The Cold War: Eisenhower And Khrushchev At Gettysburg

    Extractions: (Eisenhower National Historic Site) P erhaps a change of scene would make a difference. Dwight D. Eisenhower and Nikita Khrushchev, opposing leaders of the United States (U.S.) and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) at the height of the Cold War in 1959, had reached an impasse. Even at the informal setting of Camp David, with occasional escapes from the intrusive protocol and ever present advisers, the leaders were making little progress in their effort to lessen the tensions. As he and Khrushchev boarded the helicopter for the short flight from Camp David to the president's Gettysburg, Pennsylvania farm, Eisenhower hoped that the quiet, rural atmosphere would have the intended effect on Khrushchev. Eisenhower always found the farm "an oasis of relaxation." He and his wife, Mamie, purchased the farm in 1950; it was the only home the Eisenhowers ever owned. Though originally intended as a retirement home, it also served as a weekend retreat after Eisenhower's 1952 election to the presidency. The Eisenhowers especially enjoyed the glassed-in porch where they entertained family and friends, played cards, read, and watched television. Eisenhower also pursued his hobby of oil painting on the porch. He once wrote that if they ever built another home "it would be built around such a porch." On adjoining farms, Eisenhower raised his prize-winning herd of Angus cattle. Sharing this private side of his life with world leaders had proved beneficial for Eisenhower when he met with allies of the United States, including West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer and British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan. But would it work, he wondered, with his Cold War adversary? As they landed at the edge of the farm field in front of his home, he hoped this private meeting with Khrushchev would move the world toward peace.

    Extractions: With the end of the Cold War and the dismantling of some weapons systems by both the United States and the former Soviet Union, your students may not appreciate the nuclear threat that school-age and college-age people lived under from the 1950s through the 1990s. This project gives your students an opportunity to make Cold War history come alive by interviewing adults who remember growing up in a United States in the decades of an ever-expanding nuclear arsenal. Begin by checking whether all students in your class have someone to interview about the experience of going to school and living in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s. Recent immigrants to this country may need your help in locating adults who will share with them what it was like to be a child or young adult here during those decades.

93. H102 Lecture 23: The Coils Of Cold War
    Lecture 23. The Coils of cold war. In the immediate aftermath of World War II, the United States took a turn to the economic and political right. The cold war.  
    http://us.history.wisc.edu/hist102/lectures/lecture23.html
    
    Extractions: In the immediate aftermath of World War II, the United States took a turn to the economic and political right. Nothing demonstrated this shift more than the Second Red Scare. The trials, denouncements, black lists, and paranoia about Communism in the Second Red Scare showed the domestic face of the Cold Warthe international struggle between the Soviet Union and the United States for world dominance. This lecture traces how the Cold War transformed anti-Communism from a right-wing to a mainstream ideology. Some questions to keep in mind: Compare and contrast the development of political ideologies in the post-WWII era to those of the Depression era, concentrating on the attitudes of Americans toward Communism. Compare the events, justifications, and results of the Second Red Scare to those of the First Red Scare. Who supported Joe McCarthy and why? Compare the competing American and Soviet visions for the post-war world in 1945. How did these opposing ideas lead to a "cold war?" Compare the foreign policy goals of the Truman administration with those of Woodrow Wilson's administration.

    Extractions: Above: Atomic Frontier Days poster. Cold War symbols pervade the state of Washington. The Space Needle and Pacific Science Center attest to the future-minded, high-tech, aerospace-oriented thinking around Puget Sound. During the late 1950s and early 1960s, Seattle learned to call itself "jet city," among other "aerospacey" things, as Boeing's increasing production defined the local economy. During the annual Seafair festival (which commemorated not space but Seattle's maritime heritage), the city hosted the Navy's squadron of Blue Angel performing jets as well as a variety of naval vessels. Richland High Bombers , after 1970 or so, adopted an atomic-blast mushroom cloud as the school logo. Townspeople defended the much-criticized symbol as an accurate icon for their history. Much more than Seattle, Richland and Hanford, products of the atom, were creatures of World War Two and the Cold War. [On Richland's past see John M. Findlay, "Atomic Frontier Days: Richland, Washington, and the Modern American West," Journal of the West 34 (July 1995): 32-41.]

    Extractions: The Cold War and the spread of Communism in Eastern Europe, China, and Korea in the late 1940s and early 1950s prompted the United States to increase dramatically its defense spending. As more and more companies came to rely on defense contracts, the power of the military-industrial complex grew. One domestic result of this was relationship was a wave of prosperity and the growth of the middle class in the United States. This lecture examines America's foreign policy in the 1950s and the effect of that policy on the American people. Some questions to keep in mind: How did American leaders respond to the perceived threat of Communist aggression during the 1950s? How did Americans define "The American Dream" during the 1950s? Describe the impact of the "Military-Industrial Complex" on the American economy. Compare the migration patterns (i.e., where did people live?) of Americans during the 1950s to those of the 1940s.

    Extractions: Revelations from the Russian Archives COLD WAR: CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS According to Nikita Khrushchev's memoirs, in May 1962 he conceived the idea of placing intermediate-range nuclear missiles in Cuba as a means of countering an emerging lead of the United States in developing and deploying strategic missiles. He also presented the scheme as a means of protecting Cuba from another United States-sponsored invasion, such as the failed attempt at the Bay of Pigs in 1961. After obtaining Fidel Castro's approval, the Soviet Union worked quickly and secretly to build missile installations in Cuba. On October 16, President John Kennedy was shown reconnaissance photographs of Soviet missile installations under construction in Cuba. After seven days of guarded and intense debate in the United States administration, during which Soviet diplomats denied that installations for offensive missiles were being built in Cuba, President Kennedy, in a televised address on October 22, announced the discovery of the installations and proclaimed that any nuclear missile attack from Cuba would be regarded as an attack by the Soviet Union and would be responded to accordingly. He also imposed a naval quarantine on Cuba to prevent further Soviet shipments of offensive military weapons from arriving there.

    Extractions: FBI report names Hollywood figures as communists Hollywood figures, including film stars Frederic March, John Garfield, Paul Muni, and Edward G. Robinson, are named in a FBI report as Communist Party members. Such reports helped to fuel the anticommunist hysteria in the United States during the late-1940s and 1950s. The FBI report relied largely on accusations made by "confidential informants," supplemented with some highly dubious analysis. It began by arguing that the Communist Party in the United States claimed to have "been successful in using well-known Hollywood personalities to further Communist Party aims." The report particularly pointed to the actions of the Academy Award-winning actor Frederic March. Suspicions about March were raised by his activities in a group that was critical of America's growing nuclear arsenal (the group included other well-known radicals such as Helen Keller and Danny Kaye). March had also campaigned for efforts to provide relief to war-devastated Russia. The report went on to name several others who shared March's political leanings: Edward G. Robinson, the African-American singer; actor and activist Paul Robeson; the writer Dorothy Parker; and a host of Hollywood actors, writers, and directors.

100. 26) Nike Missiles At Fort Tilden
     An important coastal defence facility during two world wars, Fort Tilden became home to Nike Ajax and Hercules air defense missiles during the cold war.  
     http://www.geocities.com/fort_tilden/nike.html
     
     Extractions: The Nike missile site at Fort Tilden was designated NY-49. The site was shown to the media, and on the following day, March 1,1956, the New York Herald Tribune reported that Brig. General Charles B. Duff was the commander of the 52nd Anti-Aircraft Artillery Brigade, in charge of the anti-aircraft defense of the New York-New Jersey area. The tour of the Nike facility at Fort Tilden was conducted by Lt. Col. Mathew E. Chotas of the 505th AAA Missile Battalion. The numerous Nike sites were coordinated by an Army Air Defense Command Post (AADCP) operating the "Missile Master" or "Battery Integration and Radar Display Equipment" (BIRDIE) system to ensure that only one battery engaged a target and that friendly aircraft were not targeted. Missile Master could up to 24 batteries, while BIRDIE could handle up to 16 batteries. On July 4, 1960, the New York area Missile Master was activated and manned by personnel from the 52nd Air Defense Artillery Brigade (formerly stationed at Fort Wadsworth in Staten Island, NY). This Missile Master facility was located at the Highlands Air Force Station along with the U.S. Air Force 646th Radar Squadron. The 646th was a component of the
