Notes UCLA:

//The Cold War//:
The Red Scare is a rise of communism in the United States as this was the worse possible outcome America could know as the U.S is a outright Capitalist and Communism would destroy our society as we know it.This relates to the cold war as we were currently fighting the Russians from expanding across the globe.McCarthyism is accusing people of wrongdoings without having any evidence to back it up evidenced by Senator McCarthy.McCarthyism Stoked the fires of war as it led us to the point of Brinkmanship. 
//McCarthyism//:
Joseph McCarthy was the senator of Wisconsin who looked for ways to maintain his political success. he took advantage of the fact that people were scared on the fact of communists-soviets were working in the government and used propaganda to get his way. He had a list of people he was ocusing of being spies. Later is what found that there was no evidence of his statements. With that came McCarthyism, the act of blaming others with no evidence of being associated with a certain group. McCarthy was later stopped and his position was taken.
//The Red Scare//: The red scare was the belief of the US that soviets were working in the government as soviet spies posing threat to US security. It was a series of political and economic classes between the two main powers, USSR and US, that took place from 1939 to 1945. 

George Town: 
The U-2 Spy Incident was between the USSR and the U.S. In May 1960 the Soviets shot down an American U-2 spy plane in Soviet air space. Pilot Francis Powers was captured  and president Dwight D. Eisenhower  had to admit to the Soviets that the CIA had been launching spy missions over the USSR for many years. Which led to the conviction of Powers, with espionage charges and was sentenced 10 years in prison. Fortunately he only served 2 years and was released in exchange for a captured Soviet agent. And was known as the first "spy swap." 


The Nuclear Test ban Treaty: 
The Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty is an agreement signed in Moscow on August 5, 1963 by the representatives of the Soviet Union (represented by Andrei Gromyko), Great Britain (represented by Alec Douglas-Home), and the United States (represented by Dean Rusk). The treaty banned the testing of nuclear weapons in outer space, underwater, and in the atmosphere. This was was seen as an important first step toward nuclear weapon control. President John F. Kennedy signed the document less than three months before 

his assassination.

relates to the cold war:
Both sides were on the brink of an atomic war, which just meant more devastation for the world, but they both had similar amounts of bombs, so they didn’t want to destroy everything. They both fought to be the most dominant, but they would be equal in war. This just created more tension for each country, so no war actually happened

why did it occur during the cold war: Since nuclear weapons were the newest technology, it was used to prevent elimination of the Soviets and the US and also to control nuclear weapons during the time being.This eventually lead to no testing at all for the safety of their ‘test areas’ and other lands to keep life. The Cold war had more tension with the nuclear weapons, so it had to be suppressed
The Bay of Pigs invasion:
The Bay of Pigs was the U.S attempt to invade Cuba using Cuban CIA agents but had failed. All this had happened between April 17, 1961 – April 19, 1961. The Bay of Pigs invasion was a surprise attack planned by the CIA and John F. Kennedy to establish provisional government in Cuba. They wanted to completely remove Fidel Castro from his government and a non-communists government friendly to the United States. This plan was authorized by Eisenhower and that’s when the CIA set up training camps in Guatemala right outside of southern Mexico. Later that year by November the CIA had a small army of 1.4k men to go make a guerilla warfare. The army was led by Jose Miro Cordoba which was a former member of Castro’s government. His goal was to take over the provisional presidency. Through the Cuban Intelligence Fidel Castro had found out of the invasion on October of 1960/ Later in February of 1961 that’s when President Kennedy approved to launch the invasion plan.

THE WARSAW PACT:
The Warsaw Pact was a response to West Germany joining NATO, that came into being in May 1955. The pact gave the Soviet Union an equal stance with the United States as the leader of an alliance of independent nations supporting its foreign policy initiatives internationally.  
-Provided for a unified military command and for the maintenance of Soviet military units on the territories of the other participating states. 
-Remained intact until 1991
-The majority of the actions performed by the Warsaw Pact were run by the Political Consultative Committee and the Unified Command of Pact Armed forces. 
-Provided for a unified military command and for the maintenance of Soviet military units on the territories of the other states.

Social Security during the Great Depression.

  1. Both the NAACP representative and the women in Document C were unhappy with Social Security. How did their concerns differ? there was complains about lack of profits and and a lot of people were stealing due to the problems of social security.
  2. How would FDR have responded to the complaints in Document B and C? i think they would have ignored the problem as usual and just ignore it. Some times they have to protect the government more than people's needs.
  3. Let’s go back to the historians. Do these three documents support Degler or Bernstein? Explain. half of what the documents said are true mostly.
