Question Answered step-by-step Need help with my Cold War study guide What two powers emerged from… Need help with my Cold War study guide What two powers emerged from WWII as adversaries (opponents)? Why was this ironic, considering what happened in WWII? Name a few nations that lost considerable power after WWII. What was the “Containment” and “Truman Doctrine?” Was it reasonable considering what happened in WWII and the actions of Joseph Stalin after WWII? After WWI, Germany was forced to pay reparations that they could not afford to pay. This caused the German economy to suffer, and some think it caused the rise of Hitler. What plan was put in place after WWII that was the complete opposite of reparations for Germany? Did the plan work (think about Europe today)? What were the name of the two alliances created after WWII and which nations allied with the US, and which nations allied with the Soviet Union? What did Greece have to do with the Cold War in the later 1940s, considering the Cold War was between the 2 superpowers? Why was there a Berlin Wall until 1989? Who had control of East and West Germany? Is there an East and West Germany now? What role did China and Korea play in the Cold War, considering they were not a superpower? Summarize the Cuban Missile Crisis, and explain which leader won the encounter. Why was America ready to go to nuclear war with the Soviet Union over this incident? How did the philisophy of American leaders lead to American involvement in Vietnam (Remember the containment doctrine)? Did the US have the right approach when facing down the Soviet Union, or did the US overreact and cause more problems than there would have been if there was nocontainment policy? Think about it from today’s point of view, but also think about it from the point of view of 1945 when WWII was ending. History US History HISTORY 104 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
