Cold+War


 * What I know about the Cold War:** The Cold war wasn't really a war it was more of an argument, between Russia and someone else. Joseph Stalin was in command of Russia during that time and President Roosevelt, It was just an argument between the US and Russia.

A. The Zooks and Yooks did not get along because the two different sides had different methods and I assume they wanted the other side to convert to their method.
 * Dr Seuss Questions**

B: What caused this conflict to get worse is that they always tried to retaliate in some way but the other side always had "pushed them back?" or had a bigger method of doing something so the other side always had to back down, always losing hope.

C: How I think this happens with my friends and siblings is that someone always tries to one up one another, we reach the same point or one is always superior.

D: What the Zooks and The Yooks could have done differently is come to an argument, how about putting butter on both sides of the bread so the people who like it on the top will like it there is and vice versa.

E: Each sides had their ways "plastered" all over their part of the town, each side would teach everyone and promote everyone that their way is right and the other ways are wrong.

F: This story tells me about the Cold War is that either side couldn't come to an agreement and kept on fighting but no war really happened.

G: The story ends by those bombs being "duds" and they realize they were being idiots all along and were fighting for a idiotic reason.


 * Linking Activity:**

The Big Three all took a piece of Berlin, East and West. East was Communism and only one of the big three decided to back it and that was basically Stalin, The other side was West Berlin and that was backed by three people. Churchill, Truman and someone from France that I do not recall. Stalin did not meet his promises that he made at the Yalta Conference and that was giving the people of Germany their freedom. Afraid He put up the Iron Curtain in order to stop the spread of **Capitalism** over East Berlin. USA completely disregarded that wall and just have begun to airlift supplies to West Berlin, completely embarrassing Russia.

The Marshall Plan is basically the way of helping European Countries rebuild after WWII which was basically a problem because after that war, everything was destroyed and USA decided to help people rebuilt this also links with the Truman Doctrine to help them push back communism. If you just live a war torn country like that again another Hitler can occur again because that what basically happened. After WWI Germany was left in ruins then Hitler found that as an opportunity to go and take control and USA doesn't want that to happen so that's why we rebuilt countries and just to contain communism.

Bumper Sticker Churchill Excerpt Speech Markup Truman Doctrine Excerpt [|Stalin Speech Excerpt]

What I managed to learn from the Cold War is that each side is very opinion based and set with great facts and they seems to stick to their words tremendously not ever falling back on anything, for an example when Truman and Churchill both found themselves indirectly agreeing that Russia seems to be a rising problem after the war and how they never managed to keep up with any of their promises they've made to better society in a way, only caring about themselves and how to futher their country and their way of life(communism). But then we also learn how Russia thought all along that Capitalism was the cause of the war all along and they think their way of the life is the best way because it allows every to be on then same equal level, no is more superior than one another keeping everyone at the same scale with one another and it should be like that everywhere thus Stalin stating in his speech that he thinks this is the main reason the war happened. This is where I bring up the topic again, how this is truely a opinion based topic and ding between either side is a hard choice.
 * What knowledge about the Cold War did you learn from these three speeches?**

In my honest opinion I can't choose a side between the both for the main reason of them being so through of other sides ways being bad, I'm more leniet towards the the capitalism side but more of in the middle because as I stated earlier they provided a good cause on why I should do what.

KOREAN WAR

**Opener: 10/30:**
 * How did the Korean War turn into a Cold War Conflict?** Again the two most powerful people began to fight again, equally matched in power it's like the situation in Berlin, the 38th parallel was basically the "wall" separating each faction again


 * Why did the Korean War not lead to world war?** Not many people were available to fight again and also it came to the point where the people were in tie, or they got an advantage and then lost it
 * How does the Korean War shed light on the broad themes of the Cold War**? The Korean War sheds light because it actually managed to go on hiatus they managed to stop it for the short while.



You be the Judge ---> [|Summary of Korean War Markup]


 * Opener 10/31:**

I believe that the Korean war was a proxy war because it was basically the Soviets and United States fighting each other. Communism and Capitalism basically fighting each other because North Korea and South Korea didn't have a military until someone rebuilt them so they couldn't fight on their own, without the aid of the us troops and Russia's New raised Troops, basically furthering how it was a Battle of Capitalism and Communism spread because the North was Communism and the South the Capitalism,

Communism is in the north and when they were getting pushed back by the Capitalist, China being Communism at the time felt obligated at the time to jump it because of the north being communism and Russia is where communism began to truly develop and they wanted Korea to fully be Communism hence wanting the Spread of communism and South Korea wanted the complete opposite.

North and Side Korea basically had their leaders installed by the Communist and Capitalist Leaders. Started as a Civil War then evolved into a Proxy War. South Korea was a Capitalist Haven in Asia Soviet Union and the United States get involved without countries and basically use them as puppets



Summary of the Korean War


 * Ranking of the Public Opinion:**
 * 1) **People did want the Korean War to over, alot of people voted for the Armistice for end the Korean War once and for all.**
 * 2) **They Believe that the United States should be the one to initiate the end of the War.**
 * 3) **The War is something that should have happened.**


 * I picked number one as my top one because they just wanted the war too be over, if back then it reached instances of that high of an aggression and that dangerous of a level ( Nuclear Warfare) who knows what it can achieve today with all this new Technology so people would like to end it as soon as possible before something gets out of our hands.**
