The containment policy, Truman doctrine, Marshall plan, the Berlin Airlift were all acts made during the cold war to help the European people who were in trouble. Josef Stalin was the leader of the communist country known as the USSR during the Cold War, and John F. Kennedy was one of the presidents during the cold war. Fidel Castro was the leader of Cuba and he was the man who allowed Nikita Khrushchev to build nuclear bomb sites in Cuba which later cause the Cuban Missile Crisis to begin.

Winston Churchill coined the Iron Curtained to represent the rift between the east and the west. The Korean and Vietnam war were both proxy wars with the Capitalist East/USA and West/USSR each backing one side of the war, the US backing the South Koreans and the USSR backing the North Koreans.

What knowledge about the cold war did you learn from these three speech?
These three speech's really started the cold war. From Churchill's speech I learned that Churchill while wanting to maintain friendly relations he knew that the communist USSR was not to be trusted, and Churchill thought that the communist system will simply not work as a ruling ideology. I also learned that there was really a clear divide between the East and the West, I always thought that was meant hypothetically. Stalin's speech taught me that Josef Stalin really thought that the Allies winning against the Nazis meant that communism has shown it self as a reliable ideology for a government to follow. His speech also very clearly told his opinion on capitalism in relation to the war, he thought that capitalism promoted war and civil strife. President Truman's speech told me that while it simply sounded liked a honest want to help these two ailing countries, there was actually a mountain of reasons to help Greece and Turkey other than simply helping out of the goodness of our hearts.

 * Opener: Based on Korean War Video: **
 * **Do you Believe the Korean War was a Civil War or a Proxy War ( war that results when opposing powers use third parties as substitutes for fighting each other directly.)?**
 * **Provide three pieces of evidence from the video to support your claim**
 * **Pair/share responses and make revisions in red**

I believe that the Korean War was a proxy war. I believe this because the leaders of North and South Korea were basically installed by communism and capitalism. While the Chinese and the Americans did support the war directly, they started off by simply providing support and only later joined in to help with actual military combat. The north and south Korea did not have an army until others came into help them. The Chinese and Soviet Union supported the North Koreans with arms, while the South Koreans were backed by the US who supplied them with lots of man power.
