The Cold War Spike (increased tensions) 
REVIEW: Cold War Events

 

 

 

 

 The Cold War dominated culture. Incidents between the U.S. and U.S.S.R., such as America’s U-2 spy plane being shot down, added to the tension. Plus, a new “arms race” of nuclear weapons, and a “space race” to develop satellites and rockets began.

COLD WAR LANGUAGE
Containment - The blocking of another nation’s attempts to spread its influence especially the efforts of the U.S. to block the spread of Soviet influence starting in the late 1940s,

The Domino Theory- The idea that if a nation falls under Communist control, nearby nations will also fall under Communist control.

Massive Retaliation - Policies of both the U.S. & the Soviet Union to build up enough nuclear weapons in order to show that it could still destroy the other side, even if attacked first

Brinkmanship - The practice of threatening an enemy with massive retaliation for any aggression.

 

 

 

 

 

ARCHITECTS of COLD WAR POLICY
John Foster Dulles  (Ikes’ Secretary of State)– churchgoer – push back (roll back) Communist advances, “liberate captive people” Also try to balance budget by reducing military spending.
