In February 1945 the ldquoBig Threerdquo Allied lead-ersmdashFranklin D Roosevelt Winston Churchilland Joseph Stalinmdashmet at Yalta a Soviet port onthe Black Sea They came to discuss issues affect-ing the postwar world Out of this meeting camethe Yalta agreement in which the Soviet Unionagreed to enter the war against Japan In returnthe Soviets received some territories in Asia

Reaching an agreement on postwar arrange-ments proved more difficult Roosevelt andChurchill feared the Soviet domination of East-ern Europe and the spread of communismStalin on the other hand wanted to keep a large

area of land between the Soviet Union and itspotential enemies in the West Germany pre-sented a special problem The Allies finallyagreed to divide Germany into four zones untilelections could be held to determine its futureThe Soviet Union the United States Britain andFrance would each control a zone

Stalin agreed to allow free elections in occu-pied Eastern Europe and to cooperate in planningfor the new international organization proposedby the United States and Britain Roosevelt andChurchill felt encouraged about a peaceful post-war world Their hopes went unfulfilled

12 1945 Vice President Harry S Truman suc-ceeded him Facing the enormous responsibili-ties of the presidency Truman told reportersldquoWhen they told me yesterday [of Rooseveltrsquosdeath] I felt like the moon the stars and all theplanets had fallen on merdquo

One of Trumanrsquos first decisions as presidentwas to go ahead with the meeting to form thenew international organization discussed atYalta On June 26 in San Francisco California50 nationsmdashincluding the Soviet Unionmdashsignedthe charter creating the United Nations (UN)The members hoped the UN could settle dis-putes between nations and prevent future wars

Geography

Soviet Expansion in EuropeThe uneasy wartime alliance between the

Western nations and the Soviet Union did notlast Stalin did not keep his promise to hold freeelections in Eastern Europe Instead the Sovietsset up Communist governments in these coun-tries and Soviet forces remained in the region

Developments in Eastern Europe led to agrowing distrust between the Soviet Union andWestern nations Europe split into two campsmdashthe Soviet-controlled Communist governments of the East and the capitalist democracies

The Iron CurtainWinston Churchill believed that the division

between East and West was permanent In 1946he declared in a speech in Fulton Missouri thatan ldquoiron curtainrdquo had descended on EuropeChurchill meant that the Soviets had cut offEastern Europe from the West Behind this ironcurtain he said lay the countries of EasternEurope ldquoin what I must call the Soviet sphereand all are subject to a very high measure ofcontrol from Moscowrdquo

Churchill warned that the Soviets wouldeventually look beyond Eastern Europe and tryto gain control of other parts of the world Thisidea alarmed Americans who had feared thespread of communism ever since the RussianRevolution in 1917

Civil war raged in Greece as Communistrebels armed by the Soviet Union attempted tooverthrow the Greek king and his pro-Westerngovernment At the same time the Soviets putenormous pressure on Turkey to give themnaval bases on the straits leading to theMediterranean Sea

791CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

Containing the SovietsSeeking ways to counter Soviet expansion

President Truman drew from the ideas of GeorgeF Kennan an American diplomat and an experton Soviet history and culture Kennan argued thatthe United States and the Soviet Union could notcooperate and that the United States must takeforceful steps to stop Soviet expansion His ideasled to the policy of containment The UnitedStates would try to ldquocontainrdquo Soviet expansionthrough limited military means and nonmilitarymeans in areas of the world that were of strategicimportance to the United States Kennan definedthese areas narrowlymdashmostly Western Europeand Japan But other US officials graduallyexpanded their view of what was of strategicimportance to the country and its future

The Truman DoctrineThe policy of containment soon went into

effect Speaking to Congress in March 1947 thepresident proposed a policy that became knownas the Truman Doctrine a commitment to helpnations threatened by communism and Sovietexpansion

ldquoI believe that it must be the policy of theUnited States to support free peoples who areresisting attempted subjugation [conquest] byarmed minorities or by outside pressuresrdquo

Congress voted to give military and economicassistance to Greece and Turkey to hold back theSoviet threat

The Marshall PlanAt the end of World War II much of Europe

lay in ruins Bombing had destroyed countlesshouses factories bridges and roads Many peo-ple lacked homes and jobs and they often didnot have enough food Their war-ravaged soci-eties provided fertile ground for communismwith its promises of housing and employmentfor all

George Marshall the US secretary of statesaw Western Europe as strategically importantto the United States He believed that the bestway to keep the countries of Western Europefree of communism would be to help restore

their economies In June 1947 Marshall pro-posed a plan to provide massive economic aid toEurope At first his plan met some resistance inCongress After Soviet-supported Communiststook over the government of Czechoslovakiain February 1948 however this resistance disappeared

Congress approved the Marshall Plan a pro-gram of economic aid for Europe that became avital part of the policy of containment Between1948 and 1951 the Marshall Plan contributednearly $13 billion to the rebuilding of the coun-tries of Western Europe As Marshall had pre-dicted no Western government in the region fellto a communist revolution

Explaining How was the MarshallPlan supposed to check communist expansion

Crisis in BerlinThe Allied leaders at Yalta had divided Ger-

many into four occupation zones The SovietUnion controlled the eastern part of the countrywhile the United States Britain and Francedivided the western part The German capital of Berlin located deep within Soviet-controlled East Germany was also dividedamong the four nations

President Truman believed that a reunitedGermany was essential to the future of EuropeStalin on the other hand feared that a reunitedGermany would once again pose a threat to theSoviet Union He sought to maintain Sovietinfluence in a divided Germany Tensions overthe German issue led to a serious crisis in 1948

The Berlin BlockadeOn June 7 1948 the United States Britain

and France announced that they were unitingtheir zones to form a new West German repub-lic Each nationrsquos section of Berlin would beincluded in this republic as well even though the city lay within Soviet-held East Germany

The Berlin blockade was Stalinrsquos answer to theWestrsquos plans for West Germany On June 24 1948Soviet troops rushed into position around theedge of West Berlin Almost overnight they cre-ated a blockade stopping traffic on all highway

Two Armed CampsThe crisis in Berlin confirmed that the United

States and the Soviet Union were locked in acold warmdasha war in which the two enemies didnot actually fight each other Instead each nationbegan building up its military forces and armsto intimidate the other European nations beganto take sides in this mounting cold war

The United States and the countries of West-ern Europe agreed that the best way to containthe Soviets was through mutual defense In

Berlin AirliftIn June 1948 the Soviet Union halted all traffic by land

or water into or out of Western-controlled Berlin AlliedPowers began supplying the cityrsquos 25 million residents withthe necessities of lifemdashby air Night and day for more than10 months British and United States cargo planescarried food medicine clothing raw materialsand even coal to Berlin World opinion turnedagainst the Soviet Union and its tactics of starvinginnocent people to achieve its goals Berlin becamea symbol of Americarsquos fight against communism

The effortmdashsome 278000 flights delivering 2 million tons of suppliesmdashmelted the hatredbetween former American and German enemies InMay 1949 the Soviet Union finally lifted its blockade

A West Berlin taxi driver explained how the airlift boosted the morale

of the people of BerlinldquoThere You hear There is another plane

And therersquos another Our faith doesnrsquot comefrom our hearts or our brain anymore

It comes through the earsrdquo

railroad and water routes through East Germany to West Berlin As a result WestBerlin and its two million citizens were cut off from vital supplies The Soviets hoped thisblockade would drive the West out of Berlin

The Berlin AirliftPresident Truman refused to give in to the

Soviets ldquoWe stay in Berlin periodrdquo he declaredbut he did not want to risk war by using militaryforce to end the blockade Instead he organizeda massive airlift to save the city American andBritish cargo planes began flying food fuel andother supplies into West Berlin

The Berlin airlift continued day and night formore than 10 months delivering tons of suppliesto West Berlin Realizing that the Western powersintended to stay in the city Stalin ended the Berlinblockade in May 1949 Despite the success of theairlift Berlin and Germany remained divided In October 1949 the division of Germany into two

April 1949 the United States Canada and 10Western European nations signed a pact estab-lishing the North Atlantic Treaty Organization(NATO) The agreement stated that ldquoan armedattack against one or more of [the membernations] shall be considered an attack againstallrdquo To defend against a possible Soviet inva-sion of Western Europe the NATO countriescreated a large military force

In response to NATO the Soviet Union cre-ated an alliance of its own with the Communistgovernments of Eastern Europe The allianceestablished in 1955 by mutual defense treatiesknown as the Warsaw Pact had a military forcethat the Soviet Union controlled The formationof NATO and the Warsaw Pact divided Europeinto two armed camps

The United States RearmsAfter World War II some of President Trumanrsquos

foreign policy advisers in the National SecurityCouncil (NSC) argued that America could not relyon other nations to contain the Soviets and resistthe spread of communism Unlike George Kennanand the supporters of the containment policy theNSC advisers believed the United States neededto take a more active stand against communismeverywheremdashnot just in strategic locations

In 1950 the NSC released a report known asNSC-68 which said that the United States mustactively

ldquofoster the seeds of destruction within theSoviet Unionrdquo

and fight communist movements wherever theyarose The United States committed itself tocombating communist expansion everywhere inthe world

When soldiers returned home after World War II they came back to a nation facingthe difficult task of changing from wartime to peacetime Would the economy collapseagain and another depression sweep the country President Truman was optimisticldquoWe are having our little troubles now Just a blow-up after a little let-down from warrdquoPublic concern however forced the nationrsquos political leaders into a heated debate overthe best way to deal with Americarsquos economic problems

The Postwar EconomyAfter World War II the nation and its economy had to adjust to peacetime

life Industries had to shift from producing war materials to making consumergoods Defense workers had to be retrained to work in consumer industriesand returning soldiers needed jobs

During the war government price controls had kept the cost of consumergoods such as food and clothing quite stable When the government removedthese controls prices began to surge This rise in prices or inflation also resultedfrom a huge increase in consumer demand and spending During the war years

CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

Americans had saved their money because manyconsumer goods were unavailable or rationedNow they were eager to spend this money onnew consumer products and services

Workers Seek Higher WagesAs a result of inflation consumer prices rose at

a much faster rate than wages During the warworkers had accepted government controls onwages and agreed not to strike Now they wouldno longer be put off When employers refused toraise wages labor unions called for strikes In1945 and 1946 millions of steelworkers railroadworkers and others walked off their jobsdemanding higher wages and better conditions

Labor unrest and strikes disrupted the nationrsquoseconomy When miners went on strike in 1946many Americans feared that dwindling coal sup-plies would cause the economy to grind to a haltAt about the same time a strike by railroadworkers caused a total shutdown of the nationrsquosrailroads which were vital to the economy

Truman Takes ActionAlarmed by the labor unrest President Tru-

man pressured the striking miners and railroadworkers to go back to their jobs In May 1946 he threatened to draft them into the army if theydid not return to work The president insisted hehad the right to take such steps to keep vitalindustries operating

President Truman finally forced striking min-ers back on the job by having the governmenttake over the mines At the same time howeverhe persuaded the mine owners to grant many ofthe workersrsquo demands Truman also pressuredrailroad workers to return to work

Describing What happened to theprice of consumer goods when demand grew after the war

Truman Faces the RepublicansIn September 1945 President Truman a

Democrat presented Congress with a plan ofdomestic reforms aimed at solving some of thenationrsquos economic problems Truman latercalled this program the Fair Deal

Truman proposed to raise the minimum wageexpand Social Security benefits increase federalspending to create jobs build new public hous-ing and create a system of national health insur-ance However because of opposition by acoalition of Republicans and Southern Demo-crats these measures failed to pass in Congress

Republicans Control CongressMany Americans blamed Truman and the

Democratic Party for the nationrsquos economicproblems In the congressional elections of 1946the slogan ldquoHad Enoughrdquo helped Republicanswin control of both houses of Congress

The new Republican Congress moved quicklyto create its own plans for the nation Havingrejected Trumanrsquos program for reform theRepublicans now set up proposals to enact aprogram that would limit government spend-ing control labor unions reduce governmentregulation of the economy and reverse policiesadopted in the 1930s under FDRrsquos New Deal

For many Republicans in Congress the mostimportant problem facing the nation was laborunrest and the growing power of labor unionsConservative Republicans favored big business

and wanted to limit the power of unions In the spring of 1947 Congress introduced theTaft-Hartley bill This bill limited the actionsworkers could take against their employers Itoutlawed the closed shop a workplace thathires only union members It also allowed thegovernment to temporarily stop any strike thatendangered public health or safety This provi-sion aimed to prevent any future strikes likethose of the miners and the railroad workers theyear before Union members and their leaderssharply criticized the Taft-Hartley Act calling ita ldquoslave labor billrdquo Although President Trumanopposed recent strikes he also knew that theDemocrats needed the support of labor Trumanvetoed the act but the Republican-controlledCongress overrode his veto

Government ReorganizationOne issue on which Truman and Congress

agreed was the need to improve the adminis-tration of the federal government which had

greatly expanded since the New Deal In 1947Truman appointed a commission headed byformer President Herbert Hoover to studyways of improving the efficiency of govern-ment Out of the Hoover Commissionrsquos workcame plans to create new government depart-ments and agencies

In 1947 Congress passed the National Secu-rity Act It unified the army navy marines andair force under the Department of Defense Asecretary of defense headed the new depart-ment The act also set up a permanent JointChiefs of Staff made up of the heads of each ofthe armed forces to coordinate military policyA National Security Council operating out ofthe White House would advise the presidenton foreign and military matters

The National Security Act also set up anotherinstitution the Central Intelligence Agency(CIA) The CIA aids American foreign policy by collecting information about what is going onin other countries evaluating it and passing it

Many Americans feared that the CIA wouldbe used to spy on American citizens Trumanhowever promised that the new agency wouldoperate only in foreign lands and would notbring ldquopolice state methodsrdquo into Americansociety The CIA was so successful that in 1949Congress gave that agency the right to receiveexchange and spend money without givingaccount to Congress

The Election of 1948As the 1948 presidential election approached

Truman appeared to be the underdog Continu-ing economic problems made the presidentunpopular with many Americans and his lackof success in winning passage of domesticreforms made Trumanrsquos administration lookweak and ineffective

Divisions within the Democratic Party alsoincreased the chances of an easy Republican vic-tory At the partyrsquos national convention a groupof Southern Democrats walked out to protestTrumanrsquos support for civil rights legislation TheSouthern Democrats formed the Statesrsquo RightsDemocratic Party or Dixiecrats and nominatedGovernor Strom Thurmond of South Carolinafor president At the same time some liberalmembers of the Democratic Party left to formthe Progressive Party with Henry Wallace astheir nominee for president Wallace opposedTrumanrsquos foreign policy and called for closer tiesbetween the United States and the Soviet Union

Dewey Leads PollsWith the Democrats badly divided it looked

as though Governor Thomas Dewey of NewYork the Republican nominee would surelywin the election Opinion polls showed Deweywith a huge lead One pollster remarked ldquoMrDewey is still so clearly ahead that we might justas well get ready to listen to his inauguralrdquo

Truman campaigned aggressively Travelingmore than 30000 miles (48000 km) by train on a ldquowhistle-stoprdquo tour of the country he gavesome 250 speeches along the way In town aftertown he sharply attacked what he called ldquothat do-nothing good-for-nothing worst Congressrdquofor rejecting his Fair Deal legislation

Truman Stages an UpsetOn Election Day experts still expected Dewey

to win Expectations for a Republican victorywere so great that on the evening of the elec-tionmdashbefore many votes were countedmdashtheChicago Daily Tribune newspaper issued a specialedition announcing ldquoDewey Defeats Trumanrdquo

The nation was in for a great surprise Whenall the ballots were counted Truman had edgedout Dewey by more than two million votes in anarrow upset victory Democrats also regainedcontrol of both the House of Representativesand the Senate in the election

Analyzing Why was the outcome ofthe 1948 presidential election a surprise

A Fair Deal for AmericansTruman took the election results as a sign that

Americans wanted reform He quickly reintro-duced the Fair Deal legislation he had presented to Congress in 1945 Some of thesereform measures passed but his plan lackedbroad support and Congress defeated most ofthe measures Congress did pass laws to raisethe minimum wage expand Social Security ben-efits for senior citizens and provide funds forhousing for low-income families

CitizenshipA Stand on Civil Rights

In a message to Congress in 1948 PresidentTruman declared

ldquoWe shall not however finally achieve theideals for which this nation was founded so longas any American suffers discrimination as aresult of his race or religion or color or theland of origin of his forefathersrdquo

Conflict in KoreaBefore June 1950 few Americans knew much about Korea a small east Asian

country located on the Korean Peninsula west of Japan In 1945 Korea was acolony of Japan At the end of World War II Japan was stripped of its territorialpossessions The United States and the Soviet Union both sent troops into Koreaand agreed to occupy it temporarily They divided the peninsula in half alongthe 38th parallel of latitude with the Soviets controlling North Korea and theAmericans controlling South Korea

803CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

The Soviet Union and the United States couldnot agree on how to unify Korea When thesetwo nations removed their forces in 1949 Korearemained divided Tensions between the twoKoreas were high

On June 24 1950 President Truman flew to his home in Independence Missouri for a briefvacation While sitting on his porch on a hotsummer night the president received a tele-phone call from Secretary of State Dean AchesonldquoMr Presidentrdquo Acheson said in a grim tone ldquoIhave very serious news The North Koreans haveinvaded South Koreardquo Truman knew this meantonly one thing the United States soon would beinvolved in military action in Asia

The Invasion of South KoreaAfter the American troops pulled out of South

Korea North Korea decided to unify the countryby force On June 25 1950 the armies of NorthKorea crossed the 38th parallel into South KoreaPoorly armed the South Koreans were no matchfor the North Within days the Communistforces had gained control over much of SouthKorea including Seoul the capital city

President Truman reacted quickly to theKorean invasion which he believed was sup-ported by the Soviet Union Without askingCongress to actually declare war Trumanordered the use of limited American air and seaforces in Korea He called this ldquopolice actionrdquonecessary to carry out Americarsquos policy of con-tainment Truman said

ldquoKorea is the Greece of the Far East If we aretough enough now if we stand up to them likewe did in Greece three years ago they wonrsquottake any next stepsrdquo

United Nations RespondsAt the same time President Truman asked the

UN to send forces to defend the South KoreansThe United Nations condemned the invasion ofSouth Korea and agreed to send a special forceto the region under the United Statesrsquos directionPresident Truman quickly appointed GeneralDouglas MacArthur a hero of World War II tocommand the UN forces

On June 30 just days after the North Koreaninvasion General MacArthur led Americantroops into Korea to stop the Communistadvance By the end of 1950 other nations weresupplying troops or other assistance to theAmerican-led war effort Even so Americansmade up the majority of troops throughout theKorean War

The United Nations had a clear but difficultgoalmdashpush the North Koreans back across the38th parallel When China intervened in the con-flict this goal changed causing Truman andMacArthur to clash over military strategy

Early Phases of the WarBy September 1950 North Korean forces had

pushed all the way to the southern tip of theKorean Peninsula Only a small area in thesoutheast around the port city of Pusan was stillheld by the South Korean army

After joining the South Koreans GeneralMacArthur designed a bold counterattackagainst North Korea In September UnitedNations forces made a daring landing midwayon the Korean Peninsula near the port ofInchon They took that strategic city and movedon to recapture Seoul

Meanwhile American and UN troops beganpushing north from Pusan By October 1 theNorth Koreans caught between UN forcesadvancing from both Seoul and Pusan wereforced to retreat north across the 38th parallelSouth Korea now came under the control of theUnited Nations forces

Taking the OffensiveEncouraged by this success General Mac-

Arthur urged President Truman to order aninvasion of North Korea He assured Trumanthat neither China nor the Soviet Union wouldenter the war to help North Korea and he prom-ised to have troops ldquohome by Christmasrdquo Tru-man sought and received approval from theUnited Nations to cross the 38th parallel invadethe North and create ldquoa unified independentand democratic Koreardquomdasha new goal for the war

After receiving these new orders MacArthurmoved his forces northward The UN forces cap-tured Pyongyang the North Korean capital onOctober 19 and then moved north toward theYalu River part of North Korearsquos border withChina Total victory seemed just days away

As the UN forces advanced the United Statesreceived a warning from the Chinese If theinvasion of North Korea continued Chinawould send in its army to support the NorthKoreans Believing the Chinese warning was abluff President Truman allowed MacArthur tocontinue moving north

The Chinese were not bluffing however Bylate October thousands of Chinese troops beganmassing along the border and some crossed theYalu River southward into North Korea OnNovember 26 huge numbers of Chinese troopslaunched an attack on United Nations forcesBadly outnumbered the UN forces retreatedsouth back across the 38th parallel Withinweeks the Communists had recaptured Seoul

American Leadership DividedBy January 1951 United Nations forces man-

Truman and MacArthur DisagreeAs the stalemate dragged on President Tru-

man began to consider negotiating an end to thefighting General MacArthur however arguedthat the UN forces should now attack Chinaeither by invading the country or by bombingChinese troops stationed in North Korea Tru-man opposed MacArthurrsquos plan fearing thatsuch actions would lead to a larger war withChina or escalate into another world war

In a letter to a member of Congress Mac-Arthur complained that he was being kept fromdoing his job ldquoWe must winrdquo he wrote ldquoThereis no substitute for victoryrdquo

On April 11 1951 President Truman relievedGeneral MacArthur of his command in Korea ldquoIcould do nothing else and still be president of theUnited Statesrdquo Truman concluded He wrote

ldquoIf I allowed him to defy the civil authoritiesin this manner I myself would be violating myoath to uphold and defend the Constitutionrdquo

MacArthurrsquos firing created a storm of protestin the United States The general was extremelypopular and polls showed that a majority ofAmericans supported him against the presidentMoreover MacArthur did not go quietly After receiving a herorsquos welcome on his return to theUnited States he delivered a farewell speech toCongress ldquoOld soldiers never dierdquo he saidldquothey just fade awayrdquo

Ending the ConflictThe two sides in the

Korean War begannegotiations in July1951 The talks lastedfor two years before acease-fire agreementwas signed on July 271953 during the presi-dency of Dwight Eisenhower This agreementending the war created a demilitarized zonemdasharegion where military forces could not entermdashbetween North and South Korea The zoneextended roughly a mile and a half on eitherside of the 38th parallel

The Korean War ended with neither sideachieving victory and almost no change in terri-tory Losses had been great More than 54000Americans died in the war and another 103000were wounded Nearly two million Koreans andChinese lost their lives and large portions ofNorth and South Korea were devastated

Americarsquos involvement in the Korean War senta clear message to the Soviet Union The UnitedStates was committed to fighting Communistexpansion with money arms and even lives Atthe same time the inability of the United States towin a clear victory contributed to uncertainty athome about the nationrsquos foreign policy

This Red Scare dominated the nationrsquos politicsfor years and led to a massive hunt to uncoverCommunists In this climate of fear few Ameri-cans were safe from accusations of disloyaltymdashnot even the president

Republican critics began accusing PresidentTruman of being too easy on Communists In1947 Truman responded by ordering an investi-gation into the loyalty of all federal employeesMillions of government workers had to undergosecurity checks and thousands were investi-gated by the FBI Although the investigationsfound little evidence of espionage many federalemployees lost their jobs

Loyalty Oaths and InvestigationsMany state and local governments colleges

and businesses began similar campaigns touncover communist subversion Some organiza-tions required individuals to sign oaths swearingtheir loyalty to the United States Those whorefused risked losing their jobs

In 1950 Congress passed the McCarran Actwhich required all Communist organizations toregister with the government and to providelists of members President Truman vetoed theact ldquoIn a free country we punish men for crimesthey commitrdquo he said ldquobut never for the opin-ions they holdrdquo Congress overrode his veto

In 1947 a congressional committee the HouseUn-American Activities Committee (HUAC)began investigating communist subversion inthe nation In widely publicized hearings thecommittee questioned people about their knowl-edge of Communists or Communist sympathiz-ers Individuals came under suspicion because ofthe beliefs of their friends or coworkersmdashguiltby association The committeersquos activities fueledan anti-Communist hysteria in the nation

HUAC launched a sensational investigationof the Hollywood film industry rumored to befull of Communists A number of those whowere summoned refused to testify and severalscreenwriters and directorsmdashthe ldquoHollywoodTenrdquomdashwent to jail for refusing to answer ques-tions about their political beliefs or those of theircolleagues Reacting to public and governmentpressure film companies created blacklistsmdash

lists of individuals whose loyalty was suspi-ciousmdashthat barred people from working in Hollywoodrsquos film industry

American Spies RevealedIn 1948 Whittaker Chambers a magazine

editor volunteered to testify before HUACAfter admitting that he had spied for the SovietUnion in the 1930s Chambers accused AlgerHiss a former State Department official of giv-ing him secret government documents in 1937and 1938 to pass on to the Soviets

Chambers produced secret State Departmentpapers he claimed were written by Hiss andmicrofilm of other secret documents Chambersswore that he had received the microfilm (whichwas hidden in a pumpkin) from Hiss Investiga-tors could not prosecute Hiss for spying becausetoo much time had passed since the events had occurred However he was found guilty ofperjury or lying and sent to prison

First elected to theHouse in 1940 Smithmade many contributionsduring her four termsDuring World War II sheworked to improve theposition of women in themilitary She played amajor role in the passage

of a new law theWomenrsquos Armed ServicesIntegration Act (1948)that allowed women toserve as permanent regu-lar members of thenationrsquos military forces

Smith also served fourterms in the SenateNever afraid to speak outon the issues she wasone of the first to con-demn the tactics used by

Senator Joseph McCarthyin his crusade againstcommunism

In 1964 Smith was oneof the presidential nomi-nees at the RepublicanNational Conventionmaking her the firstwoman to have her nameplaced in nomination by amajor political party

The most dramatic spy case to come beforeHUAC involved the atomic bomb Julius andEthel Rosenberg a New York couple who weremembers of the Communist Party were accusedof plotting to pass secret information about theatomic bomb to the Soviet Union Brought totrial in 1951 the Rosenbergs were convicted andsentenced to death The judge in the casedeclared their crime ldquoworse than murderrdquo

Groups around the world protested the sen-tence as a gross injustice but higher courtsupheld the death sentence decision Executed in1953 the Rosenbergs maintained their inno-cence to the end and claimed that they were per-secuted because of their political beliefs

Explaining What did the McCarranAct require

McCarthyismFrom 1950 to 1954 the hunt for Communists

in America was dominated by Senator JosephMcCarthy of Wisconsin During those yearsMcCarthy publicly attacked many peopleallegedmdashdeclared without proofmdashto be Com-

munists His unfounded accusations destroyedthe careers of many innocent Americans andheightened the atmosphere of anti-Communisthysteria in the country A new word was coinedMcCarthyism which came to mean the use ofunproved accusations against political oppo-nents

Joseph McCarthy rose to national attentionalmost overnight In a speech in Wheeling WestVirginia in February 1950 he announced thatAmerica had been betrayed by the ldquotraitorousactionsrdquo of certain individuals Raising a sheetof paper he claimed to have in his hand a list of205 State Department employees who weremembers of the Communist Party Millions ofAmericans believed McCarthyrsquos charges

During the next four years McCarthy contin-ued to accuse government officials and others ofbeing Communists His congressional subcom-mittee attacked and bullied the people it calledto testify Many federal employees resigned orwere dismissed as a result of McCarthyrsquos inves-tigations

Even the most powerful government officialshesitated to oppose him McCarthy often targetedDemocrats He and his Republican colleagues in

Congress saw anticommunism as an importantissue to use against the Democratic Party SomeRepublican candidates for Congress includingRichard Nixon successfully smeared their oppo-nents with charges of being soft on communismSuch tactics worked because so many Americansfeared the threat of communism

McCarthyrsquos DownfallIn 1954 McCarthy launched an investigation

of the United States Army He made alarmingclaims that Communists had infiltrated the mili-tary In a series of televised hearings watched bymillions of Americans McCarthy hurled wildaccusations at highly respected army officials

The televised Army-McCarthy Hearingsproved the turning point in the McCarthy inves-tigations For weeks Americans witnessedMcCarthyrsquos sneering and cruel attacks Towardthe end of the hearings Joseph Welch an attor-ney for the army said to McCarthy

ldquoUntil this moment Senator I think I neverreally gauged your cruelty or your recklessness Have you left no sense of decencyrdquo

Many Americans now came to viewMcCarthy as a cruel bully who had little basisfor his accusations Congress also turned againstMcCarthy In December 1954 the Senate votedto censure or formally criticize him for ldquocon-duct unbecoming a senatorrdquo Censure and the

area of land between the Soviet Union and itspotential enemies in the West Germany pre-sented a special problem The Allies finallyagreed to divide Germany into four zones untilelections could be held to determine its futureThe Soviet Union the United States Britain andFrance would each control a zone

Stalin agreed to allow free elections in occu-pied Eastern Europe and to cooperate in planningfor the new international organization proposedby the United States and Britain Roosevelt andChurchill felt encouraged about a peaceful post-war world Their hopes went unfulfilled

One of Trumanrsquos first decisions as presidentwas to go ahead with the meeting to form thenew international organization discussed atYalta On June 26 in San Francisco California50 nationsmdashincluding the Soviet Unionmdashsignedthe charter creating the United Nations (UN)The members hoped the UN could settle dis-putes between nations and prevent future wars

Soviet Expansion in EuropeThe uneasy wartime alliance between the

Western nations and the Soviet Union did notlast Stalin did not keep his promise to hold freeelections in Eastern Europe Instead the Sovietsset up Communist governments in these coun-tries and Soviet forces remained in the region

Developments in Eastern Europe led to agrowing distrust between the Soviet Union andWestern nations Europe split into two campsmdashthe Soviet-controlled Communist governments of the East and the capitalist democracies

The Iron CurtainWinston Churchill believed that the division

between East and West was permanent In 1946he declared in a speech in Fulton Missouri thatan ldquoiron curtainrdquo had descended on EuropeChurchill meant that the Soviets had cut offEastern Europe from the West Behind this ironcurtain he said lay the countries of EasternEurope ldquoin what I must call the Soviet sphereand all are subject to a very high measure ofcontrol from Moscowrdquo

Churchill warned that the Soviets wouldeventually look beyond Eastern Europe and tryto gain control of other parts of the world Thisidea alarmed Americans who had feared thespread of communism ever since the RussianRevolution in 1917

Civil war raged in Greece as Communistrebels armed by the Soviet Union attempted tooverthrow the Greek king and his pro-Westerngovernment At the same time the Soviets putenormous pressure on Turkey to give themnaval bases on the straits leading to theMediterranean Sea

Containing the SovietsSeeking ways to counter Soviet expansion

President Truman drew from the ideas of GeorgeF Kennan an American diplomat and an experton Soviet history and culture Kennan argued thatthe United States and the Soviet Union could notcooperate and that the United States must takeforceful steps to stop Soviet expansion His ideasled to the policy of containment The UnitedStates would try to ldquocontainrdquo Soviet expansionthrough limited military means and nonmilitarymeans in areas of the world that were of strategicimportance to the United States Kennan definedthese areas narrowlymdashmostly Western Europeand Japan But other US officials graduallyexpanded their view of what was of strategicimportance to the country and its future

The Truman DoctrineThe policy of containment soon went into

effect Speaking to Congress in March 1947 thepresident proposed a policy that became knownas the Truman Doctrine a commitment to helpnations threatened by communism and Sovietexpansion

ldquoI believe that it must be the policy of theUnited States to support free peoples who areresisting attempted subjugation [conquest] byarmed minorities or by outside pressuresrdquo

Congress voted to give military and economicassistance to Greece and Turkey to hold back theSoviet threat

The Marshall PlanAt the end of World War II much of Europe

lay in ruins Bombing had destroyed countlesshouses factories bridges and roads Many peo-ple lacked homes and jobs and they often didnot have enough food Their war-ravaged soci-eties provided fertile ground for communismwith its promises of housing and employmentfor all

George Marshall the US secretary of statesaw Western Europe as strategically importantto the United States He believed that the bestway to keep the countries of Western Europefree of communism would be to help restore

their economies In June 1947 Marshall pro-posed a plan to provide massive economic aid toEurope At first his plan met some resistance inCongress After Soviet-supported Communiststook over the government of Czechoslovakiain February 1948 however this resistance disappeared

Congress approved the Marshall Plan a pro-gram of economic aid for Europe that became avital part of the policy of containment Between1948 and 1951 the Marshall Plan contributednearly $13 billion to the rebuilding of the coun-tries of Western Europe As Marshall had pre-dicted no Western government in the region fellto a communist revolution

Explaining How was the MarshallPlan supposed to check communist expansion

Crisis in BerlinThe Allied leaders at Yalta had divided Ger-

many into four occupation zones The SovietUnion controlled the eastern part of the countrywhile the United States Britain and Francedivided the western part The German capital of Berlin located deep within Soviet-controlled East Germany was also dividedamong the four nations

President Truman believed that a reunitedGermany was essential to the future of EuropeStalin on the other hand feared that a reunitedGermany would once again pose a threat to theSoviet Union He sought to maintain Sovietinfluence in a divided Germany Tensions overthe German issue led to a serious crisis in 1948

The Berlin BlockadeOn June 7 1948 the United States Britain

and France announced that they were unitingtheir zones to form a new West German repub-lic Each nationrsquos section of Berlin would beincluded in this republic as well even though the city lay within Soviet-held East Germany

The Berlin blockade was Stalinrsquos answer to theWestrsquos plans for West Germany On June 24 1948Soviet troops rushed into position around theedge of West Berlin Almost overnight they cre-ated a blockade stopping traffic on all highway

States and the Soviet Union were locked in acold warmdasha war in which the two enemies didnot actually fight each other Instead each nationbegan building up its military forces and armsto intimidate the other European nations beganto take sides in this mounting cold war

The United States and the countries of West-ern Europe agreed that the best way to containthe Soviets was through mutual defense In

Berlin AirliftIn June 1948 the Soviet Union halted all traffic by land

The effortmdashsome 278000 flights delivering 2 million tons of suppliesmdashmelted the hatredbetween former American and German enemies InMay 1949 the Soviet Union finally lifted its blockade

A West Berlin taxi driver explained how the airlift boosted the morale

railroad and water routes through East Germany to West Berlin As a result WestBerlin and its two million citizens were cut off from vital supplies The Soviets hoped thisblockade would drive the West out of Berlin

The Berlin AirliftPresident Truman refused to give in to the

Soviets ldquoWe stay in Berlin periodrdquo he declaredbut he did not want to risk war by using militaryforce to end the blockade Instead he organizeda massive airlift to save the city American andBritish cargo planes began flying food fuel andother supplies into West Berlin

The Berlin airlift continued day and night formore than 10 months delivering tons of suppliesto West Berlin Realizing that the Western powersintended to stay in the city Stalin ended the Berlinblockade in May 1949 Despite the success of theairlift Berlin and Germany remained divided In October 1949 the division of Germany into two

April 1949 the United States Canada and 10Western European nations signed a pact estab-lishing the North Atlantic Treaty Organization(NATO) The agreement stated that ldquoan armedattack against one or more of [the membernations] shall be considered an attack againstallrdquo To defend against a possible Soviet inva-sion of Western Europe the NATO countriescreated a large military force

In response to NATO the Soviet Union cre-ated an alliance of its own with the Communistgovernments of Eastern Europe The allianceestablished in 1955 by mutual defense treatiesknown as the Warsaw Pact had a military forcethat the Soviet Union controlled The formationof NATO and the Warsaw Pact divided Europeinto two armed camps

The United States RearmsAfter World War II some of President Trumanrsquos

foreign policy advisers in the National SecurityCouncil (NSC) argued that America could not relyon other nations to contain the Soviets and resistthe spread of communism Unlike George Kennanand the supporters of the containment policy theNSC advisers believed the United States neededto take a more active stand against communismeverywheremdashnot just in strategic locations

In 1950 the NSC released a report known asNSC-68 which said that the United States mustactively

The Postwar EconomyAfter World War II the nation and its economy had to adjust to peacetime

life Industries had to shift from producing war materials to making consumergoods Defense workers had to be retrained to work in consumer industriesand returning soldiers needed jobs

During the war government price controls had kept the cost of consumergoods such as food and clothing quite stable When the government removedthese controls prices began to surge This rise in prices or inflation also resultedfrom a huge increase in consumer demand and spending During the war years

CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

Americans had saved their money because manyconsumer goods were unavailable or rationedNow they were eager to spend this money onnew consumer products and services

Workers Seek Higher WagesAs a result of inflation consumer prices rose at

a much faster rate than wages During the warworkers had accepted government controls onwages and agreed not to strike Now they wouldno longer be put off When employers refused toraise wages labor unions called for strikes In1945 and 1946 millions of steelworkers railroadworkers and others walked off their jobsdemanding higher wages and better conditions

Labor unrest and strikes disrupted the nationrsquoseconomy When miners went on strike in 1946many Americans feared that dwindling coal sup-plies would cause the economy to grind to a haltAt about the same time a strike by railroadworkers caused a total shutdown of the nationrsquosrailroads which were vital to the economy

Truman Takes ActionAlarmed by the labor unrest President Tru-

man pressured the striking miners and railroadworkers to go back to their jobs In May 1946 he threatened to draft them into the army if theydid not return to work The president insisted hehad the right to take such steps to keep vitalindustries operating

President Truman finally forced striking min-ers back on the job by having the governmenttake over the mines At the same time howeverhe persuaded the mine owners to grant many ofthe workersrsquo demands Truman also pressuredrailroad workers to return to work

Describing What happened to theprice of consumer goods when demand grew after the war

Truman Faces the RepublicansIn September 1945 President Truman a

Democrat presented Congress with a plan ofdomestic reforms aimed at solving some of thenationrsquos economic problems Truman latercalled this program the Fair Deal

Truman proposed to raise the minimum wageexpand Social Security benefits increase federalspending to create jobs build new public hous-ing and create a system of national health insur-ance However because of opposition by acoalition of Republicans and Southern Demo-crats these measures failed to pass in Congress

Republicans Control CongressMany Americans blamed Truman and the

Democratic Party for the nationrsquos economicproblems In the congressional elections of 1946the slogan ldquoHad Enoughrdquo helped Republicanswin control of both houses of Congress

The new Republican Congress moved quicklyto create its own plans for the nation Havingrejected Trumanrsquos program for reform theRepublicans now set up proposals to enact aprogram that would limit government spend-ing control labor unions reduce governmentregulation of the economy and reverse policiesadopted in the 1930s under FDRrsquos New Deal

For many Republicans in Congress the mostimportant problem facing the nation was laborunrest and the growing power of labor unionsConservative Republicans favored big business

and wanted to limit the power of unions In the spring of 1947 Congress introduced theTaft-Hartley bill This bill limited the actionsworkers could take against their employers Itoutlawed the closed shop a workplace thathires only union members It also allowed thegovernment to temporarily stop any strike thatendangered public health or safety This provi-sion aimed to prevent any future strikes likethose of the miners and the railroad workers theyear before Union members and their leaderssharply criticized the Taft-Hartley Act calling ita ldquoslave labor billrdquo Although President Trumanopposed recent strikes he also knew that theDemocrats needed the support of labor Trumanvetoed the act but the Republican-controlledCongress overrode his veto

Government ReorganizationOne issue on which Truman and Congress

agreed was the need to improve the adminis-tration of the federal government which had

greatly expanded since the New Deal In 1947Truman appointed a commission headed byformer President Herbert Hoover to studyways of improving the efficiency of govern-ment Out of the Hoover Commissionrsquos workcame plans to create new government depart-ments and agencies

In 1947 Congress passed the National Secu-rity Act It unified the army navy marines andair force under the Department of Defense Asecretary of defense headed the new depart-ment The act also set up a permanent JointChiefs of Staff made up of the heads of each ofthe armed forces to coordinate military policyA National Security Council operating out ofthe White House would advise the presidenton foreign and military matters

The Election of 1948As the 1948 presidential election approached

Truman appeared to be the underdog Continu-ing economic problems made the presidentunpopular with many Americans and his lackof success in winning passage of domesticreforms made Trumanrsquos administration lookweak and ineffective

Divisions within the Democratic Party alsoincreased the chances of an easy Republican vic-tory At the partyrsquos national convention a groupof Southern Democrats walked out to protestTrumanrsquos support for civil rights legislation TheSouthern Democrats formed the Statesrsquo RightsDemocratic Party or Dixiecrats and nominatedGovernor Strom Thurmond of South Carolinafor president At the same time some liberalmembers of the Democratic Party left to formthe Progressive Party with Henry Wallace astheir nominee for president Wallace opposedTrumanrsquos foreign policy and called for closer tiesbetween the United States and the Soviet Union

Dewey Leads PollsWith the Democrats badly divided it looked

as though Governor Thomas Dewey of NewYork the Republican nominee would surelywin the election Opinion polls showed Deweywith a huge lead One pollster remarked ldquoMrDewey is still so clearly ahead that we might justas well get ready to listen to his inauguralrdquo

A Fair Deal for AmericansTruman took the election results as a sign that

Americans wanted reform He quickly reintro-duced the Fair Deal legislation he had presented to Congress in 1945 Some of thesereform measures passed but his plan lackedbroad support and Congress defeated most ofthe measures Congress did pass laws to raisethe minimum wage expand Social Security ben-efits for senior citizens and provide funds forhousing for low-income families

CitizenshipA Stand on Civil Rights

In a message to Congress in 1948 PresidentTruman declared

ldquoWe shall not however finally achieve theideals for which this nation was founded so longas any American suffers discrimination as aresult of his race or religion or color or theland of origin of his forefathersrdquo

803CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

The Soviet Union and the United States couldnot agree on how to unify Korea When thesetwo nations removed their forces in 1949 Korearemained divided Tensions between the twoKoreas were high

On June 24 1950 President Truman flew to his home in Independence Missouri for a briefvacation While sitting on his porch on a hotsummer night the president received a tele-phone call from Secretary of State Dean AchesonldquoMr Presidentrdquo Acheson said in a grim tone ldquoIhave very serious news The North Koreans haveinvaded South Koreardquo Truman knew this meantonly one thing the United States soon would beinvolved in military action in Asia

The Invasion of South KoreaAfter the American troops pulled out of South

Korea North Korea decided to unify the countryby force On June 25 1950 the armies of NorthKorea crossed the 38th parallel into South KoreaPoorly armed the South Koreans were no matchfor the North Within days the Communistforces had gained control over much of SouthKorea including Seoul the capital city

President Truman reacted quickly to theKorean invasion which he believed was sup-ported by the Soviet Union Without askingCongress to actually declare war Trumanordered the use of limited American air and seaforces in Korea He called this ldquopolice actionrdquonecessary to carry out Americarsquos policy of con-tainment Truman said

ldquoKorea is the Greece of the Far East If we aretough enough now if we stand up to them likewe did in Greece three years ago they wonrsquottake any next stepsrdquo

United Nations RespondsAt the same time President Truman asked the

UN to send forces to defend the South KoreansThe United Nations condemned the invasion ofSouth Korea and agreed to send a special forceto the region under the United Statesrsquos directionPresident Truman quickly appointed GeneralDouglas MacArthur a hero of World War II tocommand the UN forces

On June 30 just days after the North Koreaninvasion General MacArthur led Americantroops into Korea to stop the Communistadvance By the end of 1950 other nations weresupplying troops or other assistance to theAmerican-led war effort Even so Americansmade up the majority of troops throughout theKorean War

The United Nations had a clear but difficultgoalmdashpush the North Koreans back across the38th parallel When China intervened in the con-flict this goal changed causing Truman andMacArthur to clash over military strategy

Early Phases of the WarBy September 1950 North Korean forces had

pushed all the way to the southern tip of theKorean Peninsula Only a small area in thesoutheast around the port city of Pusan was stillheld by the South Korean army

After joining the South Koreans GeneralMacArthur designed a bold counterattackagainst North Korea In September UnitedNations forces made a daring landing midwayon the Korean Peninsula near the port ofInchon They took that strategic city and movedon to recapture Seoul

Meanwhile American and UN troops beganpushing north from Pusan By October 1 theNorth Koreans caught between UN forcesadvancing from both Seoul and Pusan wereforced to retreat north across the 38th parallelSouth Korea now came under the control of theUnited Nations forces

Taking the OffensiveEncouraged by this success General Mac-

Arthur urged President Truman to order aninvasion of North Korea He assured Trumanthat neither China nor the Soviet Union wouldenter the war to help North Korea and he prom-ised to have troops ldquohome by Christmasrdquo Tru-man sought and received approval from theUnited Nations to cross the 38th parallel invadethe North and create ldquoa unified independentand democratic Koreardquomdasha new goal for the war

After receiving these new orders MacArthurmoved his forces northward The UN forces cap-tured Pyongyang the North Korean capital onOctober 19 and then moved north toward theYalu River part of North Korearsquos border withChina Total victory seemed just days away

As the UN forces advanced the United Statesreceived a warning from the Chinese If theinvasion of North Korea continued Chinawould send in its army to support the NorthKoreans Believing the Chinese warning was abluff President Truman allowed MacArthur tocontinue moving north

The Chinese were not bluffing however Bylate October thousands of Chinese troops beganmassing along the border and some crossed theYalu River southward into North Korea OnNovember 26 huge numbers of Chinese troopslaunched an attack on United Nations forcesBadly outnumbered the UN forces retreatedsouth back across the 38th parallel Withinweeks the Communists had recaptured Seoul

American Leadership DividedBy January 1951 United Nations forces man-

Truman and MacArthur DisagreeAs the stalemate dragged on President Tru-

man began to consider negotiating an end to thefighting General MacArthur however arguedthat the UN forces should now attack Chinaeither by invading the country or by bombingChinese troops stationed in North Korea Tru-man opposed MacArthurrsquos plan fearing thatsuch actions would lead to a larger war withChina or escalate into another world war

In a letter to a member of Congress Mac-Arthur complained that he was being kept fromdoing his job ldquoWe must winrdquo he wrote ldquoThereis no substitute for victoryrdquo

On April 11 1951 President Truman relievedGeneral MacArthur of his command in Korea ldquoIcould do nothing else and still be president of theUnited Statesrdquo Truman concluded He wrote

ldquoIf I allowed him to defy the civil authoritiesin this manner I myself would be violating myoath to uphold and defend the Constitutionrdquo

MacArthurrsquos firing created a storm of protestin the United States The general was extremelypopular and polls showed that a majority ofAmericans supported him against the presidentMoreover MacArthur did not go quietly After receiving a herorsquos welcome on his return to theUnited States he delivered a farewell speech toCongress ldquoOld soldiers never dierdquo he saidldquothey just fade awayrdquo

Ending the ConflictThe two sides in the

Korean War begannegotiations in July1951 The talks lastedfor two years before acease-fire agreementwas signed on July 271953 during the presi-dency of Dwight Eisenhower This agreementending the war created a demilitarized zonemdasharegion where military forces could not entermdashbetween North and South Korea The zoneextended roughly a mile and a half on eitherside of the 38th parallel

The Korean War ended with neither sideachieving victory and almost no change in terri-tory Losses had been great More than 54000Americans died in the war and another 103000were wounded Nearly two million Koreans andChinese lost their lives and large portions ofNorth and South Korea were devastated

Americarsquos involvement in the Korean War senta clear message to the Soviet Union The UnitedStates was committed to fighting Communistexpansion with money arms and even lives Atthe same time the inability of the United States towin a clear victory contributed to uncertainty athome about the nationrsquos foreign policy

sabotage Stories of stolen government documents and spy rings gripped thecountry in the late 1940s Then in 1949 Americans learned that the Soviet Unionhad built its own atomic bomb

This Red Scare dominated the nationrsquos politicsfor years and led to a massive hunt to uncoverCommunists In this climate of fear few Ameri-cans were safe from accusations of disloyaltymdashnot even the president

Republican critics began accusing PresidentTruman of being too easy on Communists In1947 Truman responded by ordering an investi-gation into the loyalty of all federal employeesMillions of government workers had to undergosecurity checks and thousands were investi-gated by the FBI Although the investigationsfound little evidence of espionage many federalemployees lost their jobs

Loyalty Oaths and InvestigationsMany state and local governments colleges

and businesses began similar campaigns touncover communist subversion Some organiza-tions required individuals to sign oaths swearingtheir loyalty to the United States Those whorefused risked losing their jobs

In 1950 Congress passed the McCarran Actwhich required all Communist organizations toregister with the government and to providelists of members President Truman vetoed theact ldquoIn a free country we punish men for crimesthey commitrdquo he said ldquobut never for the opin-ions they holdrdquo Congress overrode his veto

In 1947 a congressional committee the HouseUn-American Activities Committee (HUAC)began investigating communist subversion inthe nation In widely publicized hearings thecommittee questioned people about their knowl-edge of Communists or Communist sympathiz-ers Individuals came under suspicion because ofthe beliefs of their friends or coworkersmdashguiltby association The committeersquos activities fueledan anti-Communist hysteria in the nation

HUAC launched a sensational investigationof the Hollywood film industry rumored to befull of Communists A number of those whowere summoned refused to testify and severalscreenwriters and directorsmdashthe ldquoHollywoodTenrdquomdashwent to jail for refusing to answer ques-tions about their political beliefs or those of theircolleagues Reacting to public and governmentpressure film companies created blacklistsmdash

lists of individuals whose loyalty was suspi-ciousmdashthat barred people from working in Hollywoodrsquos film industry

American Spies RevealedIn 1948 Whittaker Chambers a magazine

editor volunteered to testify before HUACAfter admitting that he had spied for the SovietUnion in the 1930s Chambers accused AlgerHiss a former State Department official of giv-ing him secret government documents in 1937and 1938 to pass on to the Soviets

Chambers produced secret State Departmentpapers he claimed were written by Hiss andmicrofilm of other secret documents Chambersswore that he had received the microfilm (whichwas hidden in a pumpkin) from Hiss Investiga-tors could not prosecute Hiss for spying becausetoo much time had passed since the events had occurred However he was found guilty ofperjury or lying and sent to prison

Margaret Chase Smithof Maine was the firstwoman to be elected toboth houses of Congress

First elected to theHouse in 1940 Smithmade many contributionsduring her four termsDuring World War II sheworked to improve theposition of women in themilitary She played amajor role in the passage

of a new law theWomenrsquos Armed ServicesIntegration Act (1948)that allowed women toserve as permanent regu-lar members of thenationrsquos military forces

Smith also served fourterms in the SenateNever afraid to speak outon the issues she wasone of the first to con-demn the tactics used by

Senator Joseph McCarthyin his crusade againstcommunism

In 1964 Smith was oneof the presidential nomi-nees at the RepublicanNational Conventionmaking her the firstwoman to have her nameplaced in nomination by amajor political party

The most dramatic spy case to come beforeHUAC involved the atomic bomb Julius andEthel Rosenberg a New York couple who weremembers of the Communist Party were accusedof plotting to pass secret information about theatomic bomb to the Soviet Union Brought totrial in 1951 the Rosenbergs were convicted andsentenced to death The judge in the casedeclared their crime ldquoworse than murderrdquo

Groups around the world protested the sen-tence as a gross injustice but higher courtsupheld the death sentence decision Executed in1953 the Rosenbergs maintained their inno-cence to the end and claimed that they were per-secuted because of their political beliefs

Explaining What did the McCarranAct require

McCarthyismFrom 1950 to 1954 the hunt for Communists

in America was dominated by Senator JosephMcCarthy of Wisconsin During those yearsMcCarthy publicly attacked many peopleallegedmdashdeclared without proofmdashto be Com-

munists His unfounded accusations destroyedthe careers of many innocent Americans andheightened the atmosphere of anti-Communisthysteria in the country A new word was coinedMcCarthyism which came to mean the use ofunproved accusations against political oppo-nents

Joseph McCarthy rose to national attentionalmost overnight In a speech in Wheeling WestVirginia in February 1950 he announced thatAmerica had been betrayed by the ldquotraitorousactionsrdquo of certain individuals Raising a sheetof paper he claimed to have in his hand a list of205 State Department employees who weremembers of the Communist Party Millions ofAmericans believed McCarthyrsquos charges

During the next four years McCarthy contin-ued to accuse government officials and others ofbeing Communists His congressional subcom-mittee attacked and bullied the people it calledto testify Many federal employees resigned orwere dismissed as a result of McCarthyrsquos inves-tigations

Even the most powerful government officialshesitated to oppose him McCarthy often targetedDemocrats He and his Republican colleagues in

Congress saw anticommunism as an importantissue to use against the Democratic Party SomeRepublican candidates for Congress includingRichard Nixon successfully smeared their oppo-nents with charges of being soft on communismSuch tactics worked because so many Americansfeared the threat of communism

McCarthyrsquos DownfallIn 1954 McCarthy launched an investigation

of the United States Army He made alarmingclaims that Communists had infiltrated the mili-tary In a series of televised hearings watched bymillions of Americans McCarthy hurled wildaccusations at highly respected army officials

The televised Army-McCarthy Hearingsproved the turning point in the McCarthy inves-tigations For weeks Americans witnessedMcCarthyrsquos sneering and cruel attacks Towardthe end of the hearings Joseph Welch an attor-ney for the army said to McCarthy

ldquoUntil this moment Senator I think I neverreally gauged your cruelty or your recklessness Have you left no sense of decencyrdquo

Many Americans now came to viewMcCarthy as a cruel bully who had little basisfor his accusations Congress also turned againstMcCarthy In December 1954 the Senate votedto censure or formally criticize him for ldquocon-duct unbecoming a senatorrdquo Censure and the

In February 1945 the ldquoBig Threerdquo Allied lead-ersmdashFranklin D Roosevelt Winston Churchilland Joseph Stalinmdashmet at Yalta a Soviet port onthe Black Sea They came to discuss issues affect-ing the postwar world Out of this meeting camethe Yalta agreement in which the Soviet Unionagreed to enter the war against Japan In returnthe Soviets received some territories in Asia

Reaching an agreement on postwar arrange-ments proved more difficult Roosevelt andChurchill feared the Soviet domination of East-ern Europe and the spread of communismStalin on the other hand wanted to keep a large

area of land between the Soviet Union and itspotential enemies in the West Germany pre-sented a special problem The Allies finallyagreed to divide Germany into four zones untilelections could be held to determine its futureThe Soviet Union the United States Britain andFrance would each control a zone

Stalin agreed to allow free elections in occu-pied Eastern Europe and to cooperate in planningfor the new international organization proposedby the United States and Britain Roosevelt andChurchill felt encouraged about a peaceful post-war world Their hopes went unfulfilled

12 1945 Vice President Harry S Truman suc-ceeded him Facing the enormous responsibili-ties of the presidency Truman told reportersldquoWhen they told me yesterday [of Rooseveltrsquosdeath] I felt like the moon the stars and all theplanets had fallen on merdquo

One of Trumanrsquos first decisions as presidentwas to go ahead with the meeting to form thenew international organization discussed atYalta On June 26 in San Francisco California50 nationsmdashincluding the Soviet Unionmdashsignedthe charter creating the United Nations (UN)The members hoped the UN could settle dis-putes between nations and prevent future wars

Geography

Soviet Expansion in EuropeThe uneasy wartime alliance between the

Western nations and the Soviet Union did notlast Stalin did not keep his promise to hold freeelections in Eastern Europe Instead the Sovietsset up Communist governments in these coun-tries and Soviet forces remained in the region

Developments in Eastern Europe led to agrowing distrust between the Soviet Union andWestern nations Europe split into two campsmdashthe Soviet-controlled Communist governments of the East and the capitalist democracies

The Iron CurtainWinston Churchill believed that the division

between East and West was permanent In 1946he declared in a speech in Fulton Missouri thatan ldquoiron curtainrdquo had descended on EuropeChurchill meant that the Soviets had cut offEastern Europe from the West Behind this ironcurtain he said lay the countries of EasternEurope ldquoin what I must call the Soviet sphereand all are subject to a very high measure ofcontrol from Moscowrdquo

Churchill warned that the Soviets wouldeventually look beyond Eastern Europe and tryto gain control of other parts of the world Thisidea alarmed Americans who had feared thespread of communism ever since the RussianRevolution in 1917

Civil war raged in Greece as Communistrebels armed by the Soviet Union attempted tooverthrow the Greek king and his pro-Westerngovernment At the same time the Soviets putenormous pressure on Turkey to give themnaval bases on the straits leading to theMediterranean Sea

791CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

Containing the SovietsSeeking ways to counter Soviet expansion

President Truman drew from the ideas of GeorgeF Kennan an American diplomat and an experton Soviet history and culture Kennan argued thatthe United States and the Soviet Union could notcooperate and that the United States must takeforceful steps to stop Soviet expansion His ideasled to the policy of containment The UnitedStates would try to ldquocontainrdquo Soviet expansionthrough limited military means and nonmilitarymeans in areas of the world that were of strategicimportance to the United States Kennan definedthese areas narrowlymdashmostly Western Europeand Japan But other US officials graduallyexpanded their view of what was of strategicimportance to the country and its future

The Truman DoctrineThe policy of containment soon went into

effect Speaking to Congress in March 1947 thepresident proposed a policy that became knownas the Truman Doctrine a commitment to helpnations threatened by communism and Sovietexpansion

ldquoI believe that it must be the policy of theUnited States to support free peoples who areresisting attempted subjugation [conquest] byarmed minorities or by outside pressuresrdquo

Congress voted to give military and economicassistance to Greece and Turkey to hold back theSoviet threat

The Marshall PlanAt the end of World War II much of Europe

lay in ruins Bombing had destroyed countlesshouses factories bridges and roads Many peo-ple lacked homes and jobs and they often didnot have enough food Their war-ravaged soci-eties provided fertile ground for communismwith its promises of housing and employmentfor all

George Marshall the US secretary of statesaw Western Europe as strategically importantto the United States He believed that the bestway to keep the countries of Western Europefree of communism would be to help restore

their economies In June 1947 Marshall pro-posed a plan to provide massive economic aid toEurope At first his plan met some resistance inCongress After Soviet-supported Communiststook over the government of Czechoslovakiain February 1948 however this resistance disappeared

Congress approved the Marshall Plan a pro-gram of economic aid for Europe that became avital part of the policy of containment Between1948 and 1951 the Marshall Plan contributednearly $13 billion to the rebuilding of the coun-tries of Western Europe As Marshall had pre-dicted no Western government in the region fellto a communist revolution

Explaining How was the MarshallPlan supposed to check communist expansion

Crisis in BerlinThe Allied leaders at Yalta had divided Ger-

many into four occupation zones The SovietUnion controlled the eastern part of the countrywhile the United States Britain and Francedivided the western part The German capital of Berlin located deep within Soviet-controlled East Germany was also dividedamong the four nations

President Truman believed that a reunitedGermany was essential to the future of EuropeStalin on the other hand feared that a reunitedGermany would once again pose a threat to theSoviet Union He sought to maintain Sovietinfluence in a divided Germany Tensions overthe German issue led to a serious crisis in 1948

The Berlin BlockadeOn June 7 1948 the United States Britain

and France announced that they were unitingtheir zones to form a new West German repub-lic Each nationrsquos section of Berlin would beincluded in this republic as well even though the city lay within Soviet-held East Germany

The Berlin blockade was Stalinrsquos answer to theWestrsquos plans for West Germany On June 24 1948Soviet troops rushed into position around theedge of West Berlin Almost overnight they cre-ated a blockade stopping traffic on all highway

States and the Soviet Union were locked in acold warmdasha war in which the two enemies didnot actually fight each other Instead each nationbegan building up its military forces and armsto intimidate the other European nations beganto take sides in this mounting cold war

The effortmdashsome 278000 flights delivering 2 million tons of suppliesmdashmelted the hatredbetween former American and German enemies InMay 1949 the Soviet Union finally lifted its blockade

The Berlin AirliftPresident Truman refused to give in to the

Soviets ldquoWe stay in Berlin periodrdquo he declaredbut he did not want to risk war by using militaryforce to end the blockade Instead he organizeda massive airlift to save the city American andBritish cargo planes began flying food fuel andother supplies into West Berlin

The Berlin airlift continued day and night formore than 10 months delivering tons of suppliesto West Berlin Realizing that the Western powersintended to stay in the city Stalin ended the Berlinblockade in May 1949 Despite the success of theairlift Berlin and Germany remained divided In October 1949 the division of Germany into two

April 1949 the United States Canada and 10Western European nations signed a pact estab-lishing the North Atlantic Treaty Organization(NATO) The agreement stated that ldquoan armedattack against one or more of [the membernations] shall be considered an attack againstallrdquo To defend against a possible Soviet inva-sion of Western Europe the NATO countriescreated a large military force

In response to NATO the Soviet Union cre-ated an alliance of its own with the Communistgovernments of Eastern Europe The allianceestablished in 1955 by mutual defense treatiesknown as the Warsaw Pact had a military forcethat the Soviet Union controlled The formationof NATO and the Warsaw Pact divided Europeinto two armed camps

The United States RearmsAfter World War II some of President Trumanrsquos

foreign policy advisers in the National SecurityCouncil (NSC) argued that America could not relyon other nations to contain the Soviets and resistthe spread of communism Unlike George Kennanand the supporters of the containment policy theNSC advisers believed the United States neededto take a more active stand against communismeverywheremdashnot just in strategic locations

In 1950 the NSC released a report known asNSC-68 which said that the United States mustactively

ldquofoster the seeds of destruction within theSoviet Unionrdquo

and fight communist movements wherever theyarose The United States committed itself tocombating communist expansion everywhere inthe world

When soldiers returned home after World War II they came back to a nation facingthe difficult task of changing from wartime to peacetime Would the economy collapseagain and another depression sweep the country President Truman was optimisticldquoWe are having our little troubles now Just a blow-up after a little let-down from warrdquoPublic concern however forced the nationrsquos political leaders into a heated debate overthe best way to deal with Americarsquos economic problems

Economics

The Postwar EconomyAfter World War II the nation and its economy had to adjust to peacetime

life Industries had to shift from producing war materials to making consumergoods Defense workers had to be retrained to work in consumer industriesand returning soldiers needed jobs

During the war government price controls had kept the cost of consumergoods such as food and clothing quite stable When the government removedthese controls prices began to surge This rise in prices or inflation also resultedfrom a huge increase in consumer demand and spending During the war years

CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

Americans had saved their money because manyconsumer goods were unavailable or rationedNow they were eager to spend this money onnew consumer products and services

Workers Seek Higher WagesAs a result of inflation consumer prices rose at

a much faster rate than wages During the warworkers had accepted government controls onwages and agreed not to strike Now they wouldno longer be put off When employers refused toraise wages labor unions called for strikes In1945 and 1946 millions of steelworkers railroadworkers and others walked off their jobsdemanding higher wages and better conditions

Labor unrest and strikes disrupted the nationrsquoseconomy When miners went on strike in 1946many Americans feared that dwindling coal sup-plies would cause the economy to grind to a haltAt about the same time a strike by railroadworkers caused a total shutdown of the nationrsquosrailroads which were vital to the economy

Truman Takes ActionAlarmed by the labor unrest President Tru-

man pressured the striking miners and railroadworkers to go back to their jobs In May 1946 he threatened to draft them into the army if theydid not return to work The president insisted hehad the right to take such steps to keep vitalindustries operating

President Truman finally forced striking min-ers back on the job by having the governmenttake over the mines At the same time howeverhe persuaded the mine owners to grant many ofthe workersrsquo demands Truman also pressuredrailroad workers to return to work

Describing What happened to theprice of consumer goods when demand grew after the war

Truman Faces the RepublicansIn September 1945 President Truman a

Democrat presented Congress with a plan ofdomestic reforms aimed at solving some of thenationrsquos economic problems Truman latercalled this program the Fair Deal

Truman proposed to raise the minimum wageexpand Social Security benefits increase federalspending to create jobs build new public hous-ing and create a system of national health insur-ance However because of opposition by acoalition of Republicans and Southern Demo-crats these measures failed to pass in Congress

Republicans Control CongressMany Americans blamed Truman and the

Democratic Party for the nationrsquos economicproblems In the congressional elections of 1946the slogan ldquoHad Enoughrdquo helped Republicanswin control of both houses of Congress

The new Republican Congress moved quicklyto create its own plans for the nation Havingrejected Trumanrsquos program for reform theRepublicans now set up proposals to enact aprogram that would limit government spend-ing control labor unions reduce governmentregulation of the economy and reverse policiesadopted in the 1930s under FDRrsquos New Deal

For many Republicans in Congress the mostimportant problem facing the nation was laborunrest and the growing power of labor unionsConservative Republicans favored big business

and wanted to limit the power of unions In the spring of 1947 Congress introduced theTaft-Hartley bill This bill limited the actionsworkers could take against their employers Itoutlawed the closed shop a workplace thathires only union members It also allowed thegovernment to temporarily stop any strike thatendangered public health or safety This provi-sion aimed to prevent any future strikes likethose of the miners and the railroad workers theyear before Union members and their leaderssharply criticized the Taft-Hartley Act calling ita ldquoslave labor billrdquo Although President Trumanopposed recent strikes he also knew that theDemocrats needed the support of labor Trumanvetoed the act but the Republican-controlledCongress overrode his veto

Government ReorganizationOne issue on which Truman and Congress

agreed was the need to improve the adminis-tration of the federal government which had

greatly expanded since the New Deal In 1947Truman appointed a commission headed byformer President Herbert Hoover to studyways of improving the efficiency of govern-ment Out of the Hoover Commissionrsquos workcame plans to create new government depart-ments and agencies

In 1947 Congress passed the National Secu-rity Act It unified the army navy marines andair force under the Department of Defense Asecretary of defense headed the new depart-ment The act also set up a permanent JointChiefs of Staff made up of the heads of each ofthe armed forces to coordinate military policyA National Security Council operating out ofthe White House would advise the presidenton foreign and military matters

The National Security Act also set up anotherinstitution the Central Intelligence Agency(CIA) The CIA aids American foreign policy by collecting information about what is going onin other countries evaluating it and passing it

Many Americans feared that the CIA wouldbe used to spy on American citizens Trumanhowever promised that the new agency wouldoperate only in foreign lands and would notbring ldquopolice state methodsrdquo into Americansociety The CIA was so successful that in 1949Congress gave that agency the right to receiveexchange and spend money without givingaccount to Congress

The Election of 1948As the 1948 presidential election approached

Truman appeared to be the underdog Continu-ing economic problems made the presidentunpopular with many Americans and his lackof success in winning passage of domesticreforms made Trumanrsquos administration lookweak and ineffective

Divisions within the Democratic Party alsoincreased the chances of an easy Republican vic-tory At the partyrsquos national convention a groupof Southern Democrats walked out to protestTrumanrsquos support for civil rights legislation TheSouthern Democrats formed the Statesrsquo RightsDemocratic Party or Dixiecrats and nominatedGovernor Strom Thurmond of South Carolinafor president At the same time some liberalmembers of the Democratic Party left to formthe Progressive Party with Henry Wallace astheir nominee for president Wallace opposedTrumanrsquos foreign policy and called for closer tiesbetween the United States and the Soviet Union

Dewey Leads PollsWith the Democrats badly divided it looked

as though Governor Thomas Dewey of NewYork the Republican nominee would surelywin the election Opinion polls showed Deweywith a huge lead One pollster remarked ldquoMrDewey is still so clearly ahead that we might justas well get ready to listen to his inauguralrdquo

Truman Stages an UpsetOn Election Day experts still expected Dewey

to win Expectations for a Republican victorywere so great that on the evening of the elec-tionmdashbefore many votes were countedmdashtheChicago Daily Tribune newspaper issued a specialedition announcing ldquoDewey Defeats Trumanrdquo

The nation was in for a great surprise Whenall the ballots were counted Truman had edgedout Dewey by more than two million votes in anarrow upset victory Democrats also regainedcontrol of both the House of Representativesand the Senate in the election

Analyzing Why was the outcome ofthe 1948 presidential election a surprise

A Fair Deal for AmericansTruman took the election results as a sign that

Americans wanted reform He quickly reintro-duced the Fair Deal legislation he had presented to Congress in 1945 Some of thesereform measures passed but his plan lackedbroad support and Congress defeated most ofthe measures Congress did pass laws to raisethe minimum wage expand Social Security ben-efits for senior citizens and provide funds forhousing for low-income families

CitizenshipA Stand on Civil Rights

In a message to Congress in 1948 PresidentTruman declared

ldquoWe shall not however finally achieve theideals for which this nation was founded so longas any American suffers discrimination as aresult of his race or religion or color or theland of origin of his forefathersrdquo

The Soviet Union and the United States couldnot agree on how to unify Korea When thesetwo nations removed their forces in 1949 Korearemained divided Tensions between the twoKoreas were high

On June 24 1950 President Truman flew to his home in Independence Missouri for a briefvacation While sitting on his porch on a hotsummer night the president received a tele-phone call from Secretary of State Dean AchesonldquoMr Presidentrdquo Acheson said in a grim tone ldquoIhave very serious news The North Koreans haveinvaded South Koreardquo Truman knew this meantonly one thing the United States soon would beinvolved in military action in Asia

The Invasion of South KoreaAfter the American troops pulled out of South

Korea North Korea decided to unify the countryby force On June 25 1950 the armies of NorthKorea crossed the 38th parallel into South KoreaPoorly armed the South Koreans were no matchfor the North Within days the Communistforces had gained control over much of SouthKorea including Seoul the capital city

President Truman reacted quickly to theKorean invasion which he believed was sup-ported by the Soviet Union Without askingCongress to actually declare war Trumanordered the use of limited American air and seaforces in Korea He called this ldquopolice actionrdquonecessary to carry out Americarsquos policy of con-tainment Truman said

ldquoKorea is the Greece of the Far East If we aretough enough now if we stand up to them likewe did in Greece three years ago they wonrsquottake any next stepsrdquo

United Nations RespondsAt the same time President Truman asked the

UN to send forces to defend the South KoreansThe United Nations condemned the invasion ofSouth Korea and agreed to send a special forceto the region under the United Statesrsquos directionPresident Truman quickly appointed GeneralDouglas MacArthur a hero of World War II tocommand the UN forces

On June 30 just days after the North Koreaninvasion General MacArthur led Americantroops into Korea to stop the Communistadvance By the end of 1950 other nations weresupplying troops or other assistance to theAmerican-led war effort Even so Americansmade up the majority of troops throughout theKorean War

The United Nations had a clear but difficultgoalmdashpush the North Koreans back across the38th parallel When China intervened in the con-flict this goal changed causing Truman andMacArthur to clash over military strategy

Early Phases of the WarBy September 1950 North Korean forces had

pushed all the way to the southern tip of theKorean Peninsula Only a small area in thesoutheast around the port city of Pusan was stillheld by the South Korean army

After joining the South Koreans GeneralMacArthur designed a bold counterattackagainst North Korea In September UnitedNations forces made a daring landing midwayon the Korean Peninsula near the port ofInchon They took that strategic city and movedon to recapture Seoul

Meanwhile American and UN troops beganpushing north from Pusan By October 1 theNorth Koreans caught between UN forcesadvancing from both Seoul and Pusan wereforced to retreat north across the 38th parallelSouth Korea now came under the control of theUnited Nations forces

Taking the OffensiveEncouraged by this success General Mac-

Arthur urged President Truman to order aninvasion of North Korea He assured Trumanthat neither China nor the Soviet Union wouldenter the war to help North Korea and he prom-ised to have troops ldquohome by Christmasrdquo Tru-man sought and received approval from theUnited Nations to cross the 38th parallel invadethe North and create ldquoa unified independentand democratic Koreardquomdasha new goal for the war

After receiving these new orders MacArthurmoved his forces northward The UN forces cap-tured Pyongyang the North Korean capital onOctober 19 and then moved north toward theYalu River part of North Korearsquos border withChina Total victory seemed just days away

As the UN forces advanced the United Statesreceived a warning from the Chinese If theinvasion of North Korea continued Chinawould send in its army to support the NorthKoreans Believing the Chinese warning was abluff President Truman allowed MacArthur tocontinue moving north

The Chinese were not bluffing however Bylate October thousands of Chinese troops beganmassing along the border and some crossed theYalu River southward into North Korea OnNovember 26 huge numbers of Chinese troopslaunched an attack on United Nations forcesBadly outnumbered the UN forces retreatedsouth back across the 38th parallel Withinweeks the Communists had recaptured Seoul

In a letter to a member of Congress Mac-Arthur complained that he was being kept fromdoing his job ldquoWe must winrdquo he wrote ldquoThereis no substitute for victoryrdquo

On April 11 1951 President Truman relievedGeneral MacArthur of his command in Korea ldquoIcould do nothing else and still be president of theUnited Statesrdquo Truman concluded He wrote

ldquoIf I allowed him to defy the civil authoritiesin this manner I myself would be violating myoath to uphold and defend the Constitutionrdquo

MacArthurrsquos firing created a storm of protestin the United States The general was extremelypopular and polls showed that a majority ofAmericans supported him against the presidentMoreover MacArthur did not go quietly After receiving a herorsquos welcome on his return to theUnited States he delivered a farewell speech toCongress ldquoOld soldiers never dierdquo he saidldquothey just fade awayrdquo

Ending the ConflictThe two sides in the

Korean War begannegotiations in July1951 The talks lastedfor two years before acease-fire agreementwas signed on July 271953 during the presi-dency of Dwight Eisenhower This agreementending the war created a demilitarized zonemdasharegion where military forces could not entermdashbetween North and South Korea The zoneextended roughly a mile and a half on eitherside of the 38th parallel

The Korean War ended with neither sideachieving victory and almost no change in terri-tory Losses had been great More than 54000Americans died in the war and another 103000were wounded Nearly two million Koreans andChinese lost their lives and large portions ofNorth and South Korea were devastated

Americarsquos involvement in the Korean War senta clear message to the Soviet Union The UnitedStates was committed to fighting Communistexpansion with money arms and even lives Atthe same time the inability of the United States towin a clear victory contributed to uncertainty athome about the nationrsquos foreign policy

sabotage Stories of stolen government documents and spy rings gripped thecountry in the late 1940s Then in 1949 Americans learned that the Soviet Unionhad built its own atomic bomb

This Red Scare dominated the nationrsquos politicsfor years and led to a massive hunt to uncoverCommunists In this climate of fear few Ameri-cans were safe from accusations of disloyaltymdashnot even the president

Republican critics began accusing PresidentTruman of being too easy on Communists In1947 Truman responded by ordering an investi-gation into the loyalty of all federal employeesMillions of government workers had to undergosecurity checks and thousands were investi-gated by the FBI Although the investigationsfound little evidence of espionage many federalemployees lost their jobs

Loyalty Oaths and InvestigationsMany state and local governments colleges

and businesses began similar campaigns touncover communist subversion Some organiza-tions required individuals to sign oaths swearingtheir loyalty to the United States Those whorefused risked losing their jobs

In 1950 Congress passed the McCarran Actwhich required all Communist organizations toregister with the government and to providelists of members President Truman vetoed theact ldquoIn a free country we punish men for crimesthey commitrdquo he said ldquobut never for the opin-ions they holdrdquo Congress overrode his veto

In 1947 a congressional committee the HouseUn-American Activities Committee (HUAC)began investigating communist subversion inthe nation In widely publicized hearings thecommittee questioned people about their knowl-edge of Communists or Communist sympathiz-ers Individuals came under suspicion because ofthe beliefs of their friends or coworkersmdashguiltby association The committeersquos activities fueledan anti-Communist hysteria in the nation

HUAC launched a sensational investigationof the Hollywood film industry rumored to befull of Communists A number of those whowere summoned refused to testify and severalscreenwriters and directorsmdashthe ldquoHollywoodTenrdquomdashwent to jail for refusing to answer ques-tions about their political beliefs or those of theircolleagues Reacting to public and governmentpressure film companies created blacklistsmdash

lists of individuals whose loyalty was suspi-ciousmdashthat barred people from working in Hollywoodrsquos film industry

American Spies RevealedIn 1948 Whittaker Chambers a magazine

editor volunteered to testify before HUACAfter admitting that he had spied for the SovietUnion in the 1930s Chambers accused AlgerHiss a former State Department official of giv-ing him secret government documents in 1937and 1938 to pass on to the Soviets

Chambers produced secret State Departmentpapers he claimed were written by Hiss andmicrofilm of other secret documents Chambersswore that he had received the microfilm (whichwas hidden in a pumpkin) from Hiss Investiga-tors could not prosecute Hiss for spying becausetoo much time had passed since the events had occurred However he was found guilty ofperjury or lying and sent to prison

Margaret Chase Smithof Maine was the firstwoman to be elected toboth houses of Congress

First elected to theHouse in 1940 Smithmade many contributionsduring her four termsDuring World War II sheworked to improve theposition of women in themilitary She played amajor role in the passage

of a new law theWomenrsquos Armed ServicesIntegration Act (1948)that allowed women toserve as permanent regu-lar members of thenationrsquos military forces

Smith also served fourterms in the SenateNever afraid to speak outon the issues she wasone of the first to con-demn the tactics used by

Senator Joseph McCarthyin his crusade againstcommunism

In 1964 Smith was oneof the presidential nomi-nees at the RepublicanNational Conventionmaking her the firstwoman to have her nameplaced in nomination by amajor political party

The most dramatic spy case to come beforeHUAC involved the atomic bomb Julius andEthel Rosenberg a New York couple who weremembers of the Communist Party were accusedof plotting to pass secret information about theatomic bomb to the Soviet Union Brought totrial in 1951 the Rosenbergs were convicted andsentenced to death The judge in the casedeclared their crime ldquoworse than murderrdquo

Groups around the world protested the sen-tence as a gross injustice but higher courtsupheld the death sentence decision Executed in1953 the Rosenbergs maintained their inno-cence to the end and claimed that they were per-secuted because of their political beliefs

Explaining What did the McCarranAct require

McCarthyismFrom 1950 to 1954 the hunt for Communists

in America was dominated by Senator JosephMcCarthy of Wisconsin During those yearsMcCarthy publicly attacked many peopleallegedmdashdeclared without proofmdashto be Com-

munists His unfounded accusations destroyedthe careers of many innocent Americans andheightened the atmosphere of anti-Communisthysteria in the country A new word was coinedMcCarthyism which came to mean the use ofunproved accusations against political oppo-nents

Joseph McCarthy rose to national attentionalmost overnight In a speech in Wheeling WestVirginia in February 1950 he announced thatAmerica had been betrayed by the ldquotraitorousactionsrdquo of certain individuals Raising a sheetof paper he claimed to have in his hand a list of205 State Department employees who weremembers of the Communist Party Millions ofAmericans believed McCarthyrsquos charges

During the next four years McCarthy contin-ued to accuse government officials and others ofbeing Communists His congressional subcom-mittee attacked and bullied the people it calledto testify Many federal employees resigned orwere dismissed as a result of McCarthyrsquos inves-tigations

Even the most powerful government officialshesitated to oppose him McCarthy often targetedDemocrats He and his Republican colleagues in

Congress saw anticommunism as an importantissue to use against the Democratic Party SomeRepublican candidates for Congress includingRichard Nixon successfully smeared their oppo-nents with charges of being soft on communismSuch tactics worked because so many Americansfeared the threat of communism

McCarthyrsquos DownfallIn 1954 McCarthy launched an investigation

of the United States Army He made alarmingclaims that Communists had infiltrated the mili-tary In a series of televised hearings watched bymillions of Americans McCarthy hurled wildaccusations at highly respected army officials

The televised Army-McCarthy Hearingsproved the turning point in the McCarthy inves-tigations For weeks Americans witnessedMcCarthyrsquos sneering and cruel attacks Towardthe end of the hearings Joseph Welch an attor-ney for the army said to McCarthy

ldquoUntil this moment Senator I think I neverreally gauged your cruelty or your recklessness Have you left no sense of decencyrdquo

Many Americans now came to viewMcCarthy as a cruel bully who had little basisfor his accusations Congress also turned againstMcCarthy In December 1954 the Senate votedto censure or formally criticize him for ldquocon-duct unbecoming a senatorrdquo Censure and the

In February 1945 the ldquoBig Threerdquo Allied lead-ersmdashFranklin D Roosevelt Winston Churchilland Joseph Stalinmdashmet at Yalta a Soviet port onthe Black Sea They came to discuss issues affect-ing the postwar world Out of this meeting camethe Yalta agreement in which the Soviet Unionagreed to enter the war against Japan In returnthe Soviets received some territories in Asia

Reaching an agreement on postwar arrange-ments proved more difficult Roosevelt andChurchill feared the Soviet domination of East-ern Europe and the spread of communismStalin on the other hand wanted to keep a large

area of land between the Soviet Union and itspotential enemies in the West Germany pre-sented a special problem The Allies finallyagreed to divide Germany into four zones untilelections could be held to determine its futureThe Soviet Union the United States Britain andFrance would each control a zone

Stalin agreed to allow free elections in occu-pied Eastern Europe and to cooperate in planningfor the new international organization proposedby the United States and Britain Roosevelt andChurchill felt encouraged about a peaceful post-war world Their hopes went unfulfilled

12 1945 Vice President Harry S Truman suc-ceeded him Facing the enormous responsibili-ties of the presidency Truman told reportersldquoWhen they told me yesterday [of Rooseveltrsquosdeath] I felt like the moon the stars and all theplanets had fallen on merdquo

One of Trumanrsquos first decisions as presidentwas to go ahead with the meeting to form thenew international organization discussed atYalta On June 26 in San Francisco California50 nationsmdashincluding the Soviet Unionmdashsignedthe charter creating the United Nations (UN)The members hoped the UN could settle dis-putes between nations and prevent future wars

Geography

Soviet Expansion in EuropeThe uneasy wartime alliance between the

Western nations and the Soviet Union did notlast Stalin did not keep his promise to hold freeelections in Eastern Europe Instead the Sovietsset up Communist governments in these coun-tries and Soviet forces remained in the region

Developments in Eastern Europe led to agrowing distrust between the Soviet Union andWestern nations Europe split into two campsmdashthe Soviet-controlled Communist governments of the East and the capitalist democracies

The Iron CurtainWinston Churchill believed that the division

between East and West was permanent In 1946he declared in a speech in Fulton Missouri thatan ldquoiron curtainrdquo had descended on EuropeChurchill meant that the Soviets had cut offEastern Europe from the West Behind this ironcurtain he said lay the countries of EasternEurope ldquoin what I must call the Soviet sphereand all are subject to a very high measure ofcontrol from Moscowrdquo

Churchill warned that the Soviets wouldeventually look beyond Eastern Europe and tryto gain control of other parts of the world Thisidea alarmed Americans who had feared thespread of communism ever since the RussianRevolution in 1917

Civil war raged in Greece as Communistrebels armed by the Soviet Union attempted tooverthrow the Greek king and his pro-Westerngovernment At the same time the Soviets putenormous pressure on Turkey to give themnaval bases on the straits leading to theMediterranean Sea

Containing the SovietsSeeking ways to counter Soviet expansion

President Truman drew from the ideas of GeorgeF Kennan an American diplomat and an experton Soviet history and culture Kennan argued thatthe United States and the Soviet Union could notcooperate and that the United States must takeforceful steps to stop Soviet expansion His ideasled to the policy of containment The UnitedStates would try to ldquocontainrdquo Soviet expansionthrough limited military means and nonmilitarymeans in areas of the world that were of strategicimportance to the United States Kennan definedthese areas narrowlymdashmostly Western Europeand Japan But other US officials graduallyexpanded their view of what was of strategicimportance to the country and its future

The Truman DoctrineThe policy of containment soon went into

effect Speaking to Congress in March 1947 thepresident proposed a policy that became knownas the Truman Doctrine a commitment to helpnations threatened by communism and Sovietexpansion

ldquoI believe that it must be the policy of theUnited States to support free peoples who areresisting attempted subjugation [conquest] byarmed minorities or by outside pressuresrdquo

Congress voted to give military and economicassistance to Greece and Turkey to hold back theSoviet threat

The Marshall PlanAt the end of World War II much of Europe

lay in ruins Bombing had destroyed countlesshouses factories bridges and roads Many peo-ple lacked homes and jobs and they often didnot have enough food Their war-ravaged soci-eties provided fertile ground for communismwith its promises of housing and employmentfor all

George Marshall the US secretary of statesaw Western Europe as strategically importantto the United States He believed that the bestway to keep the countries of Western Europefree of communism would be to help restore

their economies In June 1947 Marshall pro-posed a plan to provide massive economic aid toEurope At first his plan met some resistance inCongress After Soviet-supported Communiststook over the government of Czechoslovakiain February 1948 however this resistance disappeared

Congress approved the Marshall Plan a pro-gram of economic aid for Europe that became avital part of the policy of containment Between1948 and 1951 the Marshall Plan contributednearly $13 billion to the rebuilding of the coun-tries of Western Europe As Marshall had pre-dicted no Western government in the region fellto a communist revolution

Explaining How was the MarshallPlan supposed to check communist expansion

Crisis in BerlinThe Allied leaders at Yalta had divided Ger-

many into four occupation zones The SovietUnion controlled the eastern part of the countrywhile the United States Britain and Francedivided the western part The German capital of Berlin located deep within Soviet-controlled East Germany was also dividedamong the four nations

President Truman believed that a reunitedGermany was essential to the future of EuropeStalin on the other hand feared that a reunitedGermany would once again pose a threat to theSoviet Union He sought to maintain Sovietinfluence in a divided Germany Tensions overthe German issue led to a serious crisis in 1948

The Berlin BlockadeOn June 7 1948 the United States Britain

and France announced that they were unitingtheir zones to form a new West German repub-lic Each nationrsquos section of Berlin would beincluded in this republic as well even though the city lay within Soviet-held East Germany

The Berlin blockade was Stalinrsquos answer to theWestrsquos plans for West Germany On June 24 1948Soviet troops rushed into position around theedge of West Berlin Almost overnight they cre-ated a blockade stopping traffic on all highway

Two Armed CampsThe crisis in Berlin confirmed that the United

States and the Soviet Union were locked in acold warmdasha war in which the two enemies didnot actually fight each other Instead each nationbegan building up its military forces and armsto intimidate the other European nations beganto take sides in this mounting cold war

The United States and the countries of West-ern Europe agreed that the best way to containthe Soviets was through mutual defense In

Berlin AirliftIn June 1948 the Soviet Union halted all traffic by land

The effortmdashsome 278000 flights delivering 2 million tons of suppliesmdashmelted the hatredbetween former American and German enemies InMay 1949 the Soviet Union finally lifted its blockade

A West Berlin taxi driver explained how the airlift boosted the morale

It comes through the earsrdquo

railroad and water routes through East Germany to West Berlin As a result WestBerlin and its two million citizens were cut off from vital supplies The Soviets hoped thisblockade would drive the West out of Berlin

The Berlin AirliftPresident Truman refused to give in to the

Soviets ldquoWe stay in Berlin periodrdquo he declaredbut he did not want to risk war by using militaryforce to end the blockade Instead he organizeda massive airlift to save the city American andBritish cargo planes began flying food fuel andother supplies into West Berlin

The Berlin airlift continued day and night formore than 10 months delivering tons of suppliesto West Berlin Realizing that the Western powersintended to stay in the city Stalin ended the Berlinblockade in May 1949 Despite the success of theairlift Berlin and Germany remained divided In October 1949 the division of Germany into two

April 1949 the United States Canada and 10Western European nations signed a pact estab-lishing the North Atlantic Treaty Organization(NATO) The agreement stated that ldquoan armedattack against one or more of [the membernations] shall be considered an attack againstallrdquo To defend against a possible Soviet inva-sion of Western Europe the NATO countriescreated a large military force

In response to NATO the Soviet Union cre-ated an alliance of its own with the Communistgovernments of Eastern Europe The allianceestablished in 1955 by mutual defense treatiesknown as the Warsaw Pact had a military forcethat the Soviet Union controlled The formationof NATO and the Warsaw Pact divided Europeinto two armed camps

The United States RearmsAfter World War II some of President Trumanrsquos

foreign policy advisers in the National SecurityCouncil (NSC) argued that America could not relyon other nations to contain the Soviets and resistthe spread of communism Unlike George Kennanand the supporters of the containment policy theNSC advisers believed the United States neededto take a more active stand against communismeverywheremdashnot just in strategic locations

In 1950 the NSC released a report known asNSC-68 which said that the United States mustactively

ldquofoster the seeds of destruction within theSoviet Unionrdquo

and fight communist movements wherever theyarose The United States committed itself tocombating communist expansion everywhere inthe world

Independence MovementsAs the Cold War grew more bitter in Europe

nations in other parts of the world were under-going dramatic changes Many states broke freeof colonial rule and established independence

The Philippines gained independence fromthe United States in 1946 For years afterwardFilipinos struggled with terrible poverty gov-ernment corruption and civil war In the late1940s Asian countries such as India Pakistanand Burma broke away from the British Empireto form new nations During the 1950s and theearly 1960s more than 25 African nations gainedindependence from European colonial powersThe path to independence in Africa was oftenbloody Once free the new nations faced theenormous task of building modern societies

In the Middle East Jews and Arabs bothclaimed the region of Palestine an area the

British had controlled In 1947 the United Nationsproposed dividing Palestine into independentJewish and Arab states with Jerusalem as aninternational city The Jews accepted the plan butthe Arab states did not After declaring its inde-pendence the new Jewish state of Israel wasattacked by Arab armies in the first of six majorwars between the Arabs and Israel

When soldiers returned home after World War II they came back to a nation facingthe difficult task of changing from wartime to peacetime Would the economy collapseagain and another depression sweep the country President Truman was optimisticldquoWe are having our little troubles now Just a blow-up after a little let-down from warrdquoPublic concern however forced the nationrsquos political leaders into a heated debate overthe best way to deal with Americarsquos economic problems

Economics

The Postwar EconomyAfter World War II the nation and its economy had to adjust to peacetime

life Industries had to shift from producing war materials to making consumergoods Defense workers had to be retrained to work in consumer industriesand returning soldiers needed jobs

During the war government price controls had kept the cost of consumergoods such as food and clothing quite stable When the government removedthese controls prices began to surge This rise in prices or inflation also resultedfrom a huge increase in consumer demand and spending During the war years

CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

Americans had saved their money because manyconsumer goods were unavailable or rationedNow they were eager to spend this money onnew consumer products and services

Workers Seek Higher WagesAs a result of inflation consumer prices rose at

a much faster rate than wages During the warworkers had accepted government controls onwages and agreed not to strike Now they wouldno longer be put off When employers refused toraise wages labor unions called for strikes In1945 and 1946 millions of steelworkers railroadworkers and others walked off their jobsdemanding higher wages and better conditions

Labor unrest and strikes disrupted the nationrsquoseconomy When miners went on strike in 1946many Americans feared that dwindling coal sup-plies would cause the economy to grind to a haltAt about the same time a strike by railroadworkers caused a total shutdown of the nationrsquosrailroads which were vital to the economy

Truman Takes ActionAlarmed by the labor unrest President Tru-

man pressured the striking miners and railroadworkers to go back to their jobs In May 1946 he threatened to draft them into the army if theydid not return to work The president insisted hehad the right to take such steps to keep vitalindustries operating

President Truman finally forced striking min-ers back on the job by having the governmenttake over the mines At the same time howeverhe persuaded the mine owners to grant many ofthe workersrsquo demands Truman also pressuredrailroad workers to return to work

Describing What happened to theprice of consumer goods when demand grew after the war

Truman Faces the RepublicansIn September 1945 President Truman a

Democrat presented Congress with a plan ofdomestic reforms aimed at solving some of thenationrsquos economic problems Truman latercalled this program the Fair Deal

Truman proposed to raise the minimum wageexpand Social Security benefits increase federalspending to create jobs build new public hous-ing and create a system of national health insur-ance However because of opposition by acoalition of Republicans and Southern Demo-crats these measures failed to pass in Congress

Republicans Control CongressMany Americans blamed Truman and the

Democratic Party for the nationrsquos economicproblems In the congressional elections of 1946the slogan ldquoHad Enoughrdquo helped Republicanswin control of both houses of Congress

The new Republican Congress moved quicklyto create its own plans for the nation Havingrejected Trumanrsquos program for reform theRepublicans now set up proposals to enact aprogram that would limit government spend-ing control labor unions reduce governmentregulation of the economy and reverse policiesadopted in the 1930s under FDRrsquos New Deal

For many Republicans in Congress the mostimportant problem facing the nation was laborunrest and the growing power of labor unionsConservative Republicans favored big business

and wanted to limit the power of unions In the spring of 1947 Congress introduced theTaft-Hartley bill This bill limited the actionsworkers could take against their employers Itoutlawed the closed shop a workplace thathires only union members It also allowed thegovernment to temporarily stop any strike thatendangered public health or safety This provi-sion aimed to prevent any future strikes likethose of the miners and the railroad workers theyear before Union members and their leaderssharply criticized the Taft-Hartley Act calling ita ldquoslave labor billrdquo Although President Trumanopposed recent strikes he also knew that theDemocrats needed the support of labor Trumanvetoed the act but the Republican-controlledCongress overrode his veto

Government ReorganizationOne issue on which Truman and Congress

agreed was the need to improve the adminis-tration of the federal government which had

greatly expanded since the New Deal In 1947Truman appointed a commission headed byformer President Herbert Hoover to studyways of improving the efficiency of govern-ment Out of the Hoover Commissionrsquos workcame plans to create new government depart-ments and agencies

In 1947 Congress passed the National Secu-rity Act It unified the army navy marines andair force under the Department of Defense Asecretary of defense headed the new depart-ment The act also set up a permanent JointChiefs of Staff made up of the heads of each ofthe armed forces to coordinate military policyA National Security Council operating out ofthe White House would advise the presidenton foreign and military matters

The National Security Act also set up anotherinstitution the Central Intelligence Agency(CIA) The CIA aids American foreign policy by collecting information about what is going onin other countries evaluating it and passing it

Many Americans feared that the CIA wouldbe used to spy on American citizens Trumanhowever promised that the new agency wouldoperate only in foreign lands and would notbring ldquopolice state methodsrdquo into Americansociety The CIA was so successful that in 1949Congress gave that agency the right to receiveexchange and spend money without givingaccount to Congress

The Election of 1948As the 1948 presidential election approached

Truman appeared to be the underdog Continu-ing economic problems made the presidentunpopular with many Americans and his lackof success in winning passage of domesticreforms made Trumanrsquos administration lookweak and ineffective

Divisions within the Democratic Party alsoincreased the chances of an easy Republican vic-tory At the partyrsquos national convention a groupof Southern Democrats walked out to protestTrumanrsquos support for civil rights legislation TheSouthern Democrats formed the Statesrsquo RightsDemocratic Party or Dixiecrats and nominatedGovernor Strom Thurmond of South Carolinafor president At the same time some liberalmembers of the Democratic Party left to formthe Progressive Party with Henry Wallace astheir nominee for president Wallace opposedTrumanrsquos foreign policy and called for closer tiesbetween the United States and the Soviet Union

Dewey Leads PollsWith the Democrats badly divided it looked

as though Governor Thomas Dewey of NewYork the Republican nominee would surelywin the election Opinion polls showed Deweywith a huge lead One pollster remarked ldquoMrDewey is still so clearly ahead that we might justas well get ready to listen to his inauguralrdquo

Truman campaigned aggressively Travelingmore than 30000 miles (48000 km) by train on a ldquowhistle-stoprdquo tour of the country he gavesome 250 speeches along the way In town aftertown he sharply attacked what he called ldquothat do-nothing good-for-nothing worst Congressrdquofor rejecting his Fair Deal legislation

Truman Stages an UpsetOn Election Day experts still expected Dewey

to win Expectations for a Republican victorywere so great that on the evening of the elec-tionmdashbefore many votes were countedmdashtheChicago Daily Tribune newspaper issued a specialedition announcing ldquoDewey Defeats Trumanrdquo

The nation was in for a great surprise Whenall the ballots were counted Truman had edgedout Dewey by more than two million votes in anarrow upset victory Democrats also regainedcontrol of both the House of Representativesand the Senate in the election

Analyzing Why was the outcome ofthe 1948 presidential election a surprise

A Fair Deal for AmericansTruman took the election results as a sign that

Americans wanted reform He quickly reintro-duced the Fair Deal legislation he had presented to Congress in 1945 Some of thesereform measures passed but his plan lackedbroad support and Congress defeated most ofthe measures Congress did pass laws to raisethe minimum wage expand Social Security ben-efits for senior citizens and provide funds forhousing for low-income families

CitizenshipA Stand on Civil Rights

In a message to Congress in 1948 PresidentTruman declared

ldquoWe shall not however finally achieve theideals for which this nation was founded so longas any American suffers discrimination as aresult of his race or religion or color or theland of origin of his forefathersrdquo

The Soviet Union and the United States couldnot agree on how to unify Korea When thesetwo nations removed their forces in 1949 Korearemained divided Tensions between the twoKoreas were high

On June 24 1950 President Truman flew to his home in Independence Missouri for a briefvacation While sitting on his porch on a hotsummer night the president received a tele-phone call from Secretary of State Dean AchesonldquoMr Presidentrdquo Acheson said in a grim tone ldquoIhave very serious news The North Koreans haveinvaded South Koreardquo Truman knew this meantonly one thing the United States soon would beinvolved in military action in Asia

The Invasion of South KoreaAfter the American troops pulled out of South

Korea North Korea decided to unify the countryby force On June 25 1950 the armies of NorthKorea crossed the 38th parallel into South KoreaPoorly armed the South Koreans were no matchfor the North Within days the Communistforces had gained control over much of SouthKorea including Seoul the capital city

President Truman reacted quickly to theKorean invasion which he believed was sup-ported by the Soviet Union Without askingCongress to actually declare war Trumanordered the use of limited American air and seaforces in Korea He called this ldquopolice actionrdquonecessary to carry out Americarsquos policy of con-tainment Truman said

ldquoKorea is the Greece of the Far East If we aretough enough now if we stand up to them likewe did in Greece three years ago they wonrsquottake any next stepsrdquo

United Nations RespondsAt the same time President Truman asked the

UN to send forces to defend the South KoreansThe United Nations condemned the invasion ofSouth Korea and agreed to send a special forceto the region under the United Statesrsquos directionPresident Truman quickly appointed GeneralDouglas MacArthur a hero of World War II tocommand the UN forces

On June 30 just days after the North Koreaninvasion General MacArthur led Americantroops into Korea to stop the Communistadvance By the end of 1950 other nations weresupplying troops or other assistance to theAmerican-led war effort Even so Americansmade up the majority of troops throughout theKorean War

The United Nations had a clear but difficultgoalmdashpush the North Koreans back across the38th parallel When China intervened in the con-flict this goal changed causing Truman andMacArthur to clash over military strategy

Early Phases of the WarBy September 1950 North Korean forces had

pushed all the way to the southern tip of theKorean Peninsula Only a small area in thesoutheast around the port city of Pusan was stillheld by the South Korean army

After joining the South Koreans GeneralMacArthur designed a bold counterattackagainst North Korea In September UnitedNations forces made a daring landing midwayon the Korean Peninsula near the port ofInchon They took that strategic city and movedon to recapture Seoul

Meanwhile American and UN troops beganpushing north from Pusan By October 1 theNorth Koreans caught between UN forcesadvancing from both Seoul and Pusan wereforced to retreat north across the 38th parallelSouth Korea now came under the control of theUnited Nations forces

Taking the OffensiveEncouraged by this success General Mac-

Arthur urged President Truman to order aninvasion of North Korea He assured Trumanthat neither China nor the Soviet Union wouldenter the war to help North Korea and he prom-ised to have troops ldquohome by Christmasrdquo Tru-man sought and received approval from theUnited Nations to cross the 38th parallel invadethe North and create ldquoa unified independentand democratic Koreardquomdasha new goal for the war

After receiving these new orders MacArthurmoved his forces northward The UN forces cap-tured Pyongyang the North Korean capital onOctober 19 and then moved north toward theYalu River part of North Korearsquos border withChina Total victory seemed just days away

As the UN forces advanced the United Statesreceived a warning from the Chinese If theinvasion of North Korea continued Chinawould send in its army to support the NorthKoreans Believing the Chinese warning was abluff President Truman allowed MacArthur tocontinue moving north

The Chinese were not bluffing however Bylate October thousands of Chinese troops beganmassing along the border and some crossed theYalu River southward into North Korea OnNovember 26 huge numbers of Chinese troopslaunched an attack on United Nations forcesBadly outnumbered the UN forces retreatedsouth back across the 38th parallel Withinweeks the Communists had recaptured Seoul

Truman and MacArthur DisagreeAs the stalemate dragged on President Tru-

man began to consider negotiating an end to thefighting General MacArthur however arguedthat the UN forces should now attack Chinaeither by invading the country or by bombingChinese troops stationed in North Korea Tru-man opposed MacArthurrsquos plan fearing thatsuch actions would lead to a larger war withChina or escalate into another world war

In a letter to a member of Congress Mac-Arthur complained that he was being kept fromdoing his job ldquoWe must winrdquo he wrote ldquoThereis no substitute for victoryrdquo

On April 11 1951 President Truman relievedGeneral MacArthur of his command in Korea ldquoIcould do nothing else and still be president of theUnited Statesrdquo Truman concluded He wrote

ldquoIf I allowed him to defy the civil authoritiesin this manner I myself would be violating myoath to uphold and defend the Constitutionrdquo

MacArthurrsquos firing created a storm of protestin the United States The general was extremelypopular and polls showed that a majority ofAmericans supported him against the presidentMoreover MacArthur did not go quietly After receiving a herorsquos welcome on his return to theUnited States he delivered a farewell speech toCongress ldquoOld soldiers never dierdquo he saidldquothey just fade awayrdquo

Ending the ConflictThe two sides in the

Korean War begannegotiations in July1951 The talks lastedfor two years before acease-fire agreementwas signed on July 271953 during the presi-dency of Dwight Eisenhower This agreementending the war created a demilitarized zonemdasharegion where military forces could not entermdashbetween North and South Korea The zoneextended roughly a mile and a half on eitherside of the 38th parallel

The Korean War ended with neither sideachieving victory and almost no change in terri-tory Losses had been great More than 54000Americans died in the war and another 103000were wounded Nearly two million Koreans andChinese lost their lives and large portions ofNorth and South Korea were devastated

Americarsquos involvement in the Korean War senta clear message to the Soviet Union The UnitedStates was committed to fighting Communistexpansion with money arms and even lives Atthe same time the inability of the United States towin a clear victory contributed to uncertainty athome about the nationrsquos foreign policy

807CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

This Red Scare dominated the nationrsquos politicsfor years and led to a massive hunt to uncoverCommunists In this climate of fear few Ameri-cans were safe from accusations of disloyaltymdashnot even the president

Republican critics began accusing PresidentTruman of being too easy on Communists In1947 Truman responded by ordering an investi-gation into the loyalty of all federal employeesMillions of government workers had to undergosecurity checks and thousands were investi-gated by the FBI Although the investigationsfound little evidence of espionage many federalemployees lost their jobs

Loyalty Oaths and InvestigationsMany state and local governments colleges

and businesses began similar campaigns touncover communist subversion Some organiza-tions required individuals to sign oaths swearingtheir loyalty to the United States Those whorefused risked losing their jobs

In 1950 Congress passed the McCarran Actwhich required all Communist organizations toregister with the government and to providelists of members President Truman vetoed theact ldquoIn a free country we punish men for crimesthey commitrdquo he said ldquobut never for the opin-ions they holdrdquo Congress overrode his veto

In 1947 a congressional committee the HouseUn-American Activities Committee (HUAC)began investigating communist subversion inthe nation In widely publicized hearings thecommittee questioned people about their knowl-edge of Communists or Communist sympathiz-ers Individuals came under suspicion because ofthe beliefs of their friends or coworkersmdashguiltby association The committeersquos activities fueledan anti-Communist hysteria in the nation

HUAC launched a sensational investigationof the Hollywood film industry rumored to befull of Communists A number of those whowere summoned refused to testify and severalscreenwriters and directorsmdashthe ldquoHollywoodTenrdquomdashwent to jail for refusing to answer ques-tions about their political beliefs or those of theircolleagues Reacting to public and governmentpressure film companies created blacklistsmdash

of a new law theWomenrsquos Armed ServicesIntegration Act (1948)that allowed women toserve as permanent regu-lar members of thenationrsquos military forces

Smith also served fourterms in the SenateNever afraid to speak outon the issues she wasone of the first to con-demn the tactics used by

Senator Joseph McCarthyin his crusade againstcommunism

In 1964 Smith was oneof the presidential nomi-nees at the RepublicanNational Conventionmaking her the firstwoman to have her nameplaced in nomination by amajor political party

The most dramatic spy case to come beforeHUAC involved the atomic bomb Julius andEthel Rosenberg a New York couple who weremembers of the Communist Party were accusedof plotting to pass secret information about theatomic bomb to the Soviet Union Brought totrial in 1951 the Rosenbergs were convicted andsentenced to death The judge in the casedeclared their crime ldquoworse than murderrdquo

Groups around the world protested the sen-tence as a gross injustice but higher courtsupheld the death sentence decision Executed in1953 the Rosenbergs maintained their inno-cence to the end and claimed that they were per-secuted because of their political beliefs

Explaining What did the McCarranAct require

McCarthyismFrom 1950 to 1954 the hunt for Communists

in America was dominated by Senator JosephMcCarthy of Wisconsin During those yearsMcCarthy publicly attacked many peopleallegedmdashdeclared without proofmdashto be Com-

munists His unfounded accusations destroyedthe careers of many innocent Americans andheightened the atmosphere of anti-Communisthysteria in the country A new word was coinedMcCarthyism which came to mean the use ofunproved accusations against political oppo-nents

Joseph McCarthy rose to national attentionalmost overnight In a speech in Wheeling WestVirginia in February 1950 he announced thatAmerica had been betrayed by the ldquotraitorousactionsrdquo of certain individuals Raising a sheetof paper he claimed to have in his hand a list of205 State Department employees who weremembers of the Communist Party Millions ofAmericans believed McCarthyrsquos charges

During the next four years McCarthy contin-ued to accuse government officials and others ofbeing Communists His congressional subcom-mittee attacked and bullied the people it calledto testify Many federal employees resigned orwere dismissed as a result of McCarthyrsquos inves-tigations

Even the most powerful government officialshesitated to oppose him McCarthy often targetedDemocrats He and his Republican colleagues in

Congress saw anticommunism as an importantissue to use against the Democratic Party SomeRepublican candidates for Congress includingRichard Nixon successfully smeared their oppo-nents with charges of being soft on communismSuch tactics worked because so many Americansfeared the threat of communism

McCarthyrsquos DownfallIn 1954 McCarthy launched an investigation

of the United States Army He made alarmingclaims that Communists had infiltrated the mili-tary In a series of televised hearings watched bymillions of Americans McCarthy hurled wildaccusations at highly respected army officials

The televised Army-McCarthy Hearingsproved the turning point in the McCarthy inves-tigations For weeks Americans witnessedMcCarthyrsquos sneering and cruel attacks Towardthe end of the hearings Joseph Welch an attor-ney for the army said to McCarthy

ldquoUntil this moment Senator I think I neverreally gauged your cruelty or your recklessness Have you left no sense of decencyrdquo

Many Americans now came to viewMcCarthy as a cruel bully who had little basisfor his accusations Congress also turned againstMcCarthy In December 1954 the Senate votedto censure or formally criticize him for ldquocon-duct unbecoming a senatorrdquo Censure and the

Reaching an agreement on postwar arrange-ments proved more difficult Roosevelt andChurchill feared the Soviet domination of East-ern Europe and the spread of communismStalin on the other hand wanted to keep a large

area of land between the Soviet Union and itspotential enemies in the West Germany pre-sented a special problem The Allies finallyagreed to divide Germany into four zones untilelections could be held to determine its futureThe Soviet Union the United States Britain andFrance would each control a zone

Stalin agreed to allow free elections in occu-pied Eastern Europe and to cooperate in planningfor the new international organization proposedby the United States and Britain Roosevelt andChurchill felt encouraged about a peaceful post-war world Their hopes went unfulfilled

12 1945 Vice President Harry S Truman suc-ceeded him Facing the enormous responsibili-ties of the presidency Truman told reportersldquoWhen they told me yesterday [of Rooseveltrsquosdeath] I felt like the moon the stars and all theplanets had fallen on merdquo

One of Trumanrsquos first decisions as presidentwas to go ahead with the meeting to form thenew international organization discussed atYalta On June 26 in San Francisco California50 nationsmdashincluding the Soviet Unionmdashsignedthe charter creating the United Nations (UN)The members hoped the UN could settle dis-putes between nations and prevent future wars

Geography

Soviet Expansion in EuropeThe uneasy wartime alliance between the

Western nations and the Soviet Union did notlast Stalin did not keep his promise to hold freeelections in Eastern Europe Instead the Sovietsset up Communist governments in these coun-tries and Soviet forces remained in the region

Developments in Eastern Europe led to agrowing distrust between the Soviet Union andWestern nations Europe split into two campsmdashthe Soviet-controlled Communist governments of the East and the capitalist democracies

The Iron CurtainWinston Churchill believed that the division

between East and West was permanent In 1946he declared in a speech in Fulton Missouri thatan ldquoiron curtainrdquo had descended on EuropeChurchill meant that the Soviets had cut offEastern Europe from the West Behind this ironcurtain he said lay the countries of EasternEurope ldquoin what I must call the Soviet sphereand all are subject to a very high measure ofcontrol from Moscowrdquo

Churchill warned that the Soviets wouldeventually look beyond Eastern Europe and tryto gain control of other parts of the world Thisidea alarmed Americans who had feared thespread of communism ever since the RussianRevolution in 1917

Civil war raged in Greece as Communistrebels armed by the Soviet Union attempted tooverthrow the Greek king and his pro-Westerngovernment At the same time the Soviets putenormous pressure on Turkey to give themnaval bases on the straits leading to theMediterranean Sea

Containing the SovietsSeeking ways to counter Soviet expansion

President Truman drew from the ideas of GeorgeF Kennan an American diplomat and an experton Soviet history and culture Kennan argued thatthe United States and the Soviet Union could notcooperate and that the United States must takeforceful steps to stop Soviet expansion His ideasled to the policy of containment The UnitedStates would try to ldquocontainrdquo Soviet expansionthrough limited military means and nonmilitarymeans in areas of the world that were of strategicimportance to the United States Kennan definedthese areas narrowlymdashmostly Western Europeand Japan But other US officials graduallyexpanded their view of what was of strategicimportance to the country and its future

The Truman DoctrineThe policy of containment soon went into

effect Speaking to Congress in March 1947 thepresident proposed a policy that became knownas the Truman Doctrine a commitment to helpnations threatened by communism and Sovietexpansion

ldquoI believe that it must be the policy of theUnited States to support free peoples who areresisting attempted subjugation [conquest] byarmed minorities or by outside pressuresrdquo

Congress voted to give military and economicassistance to Greece and Turkey to hold back theSoviet threat

The Marshall PlanAt the end of World War II much of Europe

lay in ruins Bombing had destroyed countlesshouses factories bridges and roads Many peo-ple lacked homes and jobs and they often didnot have enough food Their war-ravaged soci-eties provided fertile ground for communismwith its promises of housing and employmentfor all

George Marshall the US secretary of statesaw Western Europe as strategically importantto the United States He believed that the bestway to keep the countries of Western Europefree of communism would be to help restore

their economies In June 1947 Marshall pro-posed a plan to provide massive economic aid toEurope At first his plan met some resistance inCongress After Soviet-supported Communiststook over the government of Czechoslovakiain February 1948 however this resistance disappeared

Congress approved the Marshall Plan a pro-gram of economic aid for Europe that became avital part of the policy of containment Between1948 and 1951 the Marshall Plan contributednearly $13 billion to the rebuilding of the coun-tries of Western Europe As Marshall had pre-dicted no Western government in the region fellto a communist revolution

Explaining How was the MarshallPlan supposed to check communist expansion

Crisis in BerlinThe Allied leaders at Yalta had divided Ger-

many into four occupation zones The SovietUnion controlled the eastern part of the countrywhile the United States Britain and Francedivided the western part The German capital of Berlin located deep within Soviet-controlled East Germany was also dividedamong the four nations

President Truman believed that a reunitedGermany was essential to the future of EuropeStalin on the other hand feared that a reunitedGermany would once again pose a threat to theSoviet Union He sought to maintain Sovietinfluence in a divided Germany Tensions overthe German issue led to a serious crisis in 1948

The Berlin BlockadeOn June 7 1948 the United States Britain

and France announced that they were unitingtheir zones to form a new West German repub-lic Each nationrsquos section of Berlin would beincluded in this republic as well even though the city lay within Soviet-held East Germany

The Berlin blockade was Stalinrsquos answer to theWestrsquos plans for West Germany On June 24 1948Soviet troops rushed into position around theedge of West Berlin Almost overnight they cre-ated a blockade stopping traffic on all highway

States and the Soviet Union were locked in acold warmdasha war in which the two enemies didnot actually fight each other Instead each nationbegan building up its military forces and armsto intimidate the other European nations beganto take sides in this mounting cold war

The United States and the countries of West-ern Europe agreed that the best way to containthe Soviets was through mutual defense In

The effortmdashsome 278000 flights delivering 2 million tons of suppliesmdashmelted the hatredbetween former American and German enemies InMay 1949 the Soviet Union finally lifted its blockade

A West Berlin taxi driver explained how the airlift boosted the morale

railroad and water routes through East Germany to West Berlin As a result WestBerlin and its two million citizens were cut off from vital supplies The Soviets hoped thisblockade would drive the West out of Berlin

The Berlin AirliftPresident Truman refused to give in to the

Soviets ldquoWe stay in Berlin periodrdquo he declaredbut he did not want to risk war by using militaryforce to end the blockade Instead he organizeda massive airlift to save the city American andBritish cargo planes began flying food fuel andother supplies into West Berlin

The Berlin airlift continued day and night formore than 10 months delivering tons of suppliesto West Berlin Realizing that the Western powersintended to stay in the city Stalin ended the Berlinblockade in May 1949 Despite the success of theairlift Berlin and Germany remained divided In October 1949 the division of Germany into two

April 1949 the United States Canada and 10Western European nations signed a pact estab-lishing the North Atlantic Treaty Organization(NATO) The agreement stated that ldquoan armedattack against one or more of [the membernations] shall be considered an attack againstallrdquo To defend against a possible Soviet inva-sion of Western Europe the NATO countriescreated a large military force

In response to NATO the Soviet Union cre-ated an alliance of its own with the Communistgovernments of Eastern Europe The allianceestablished in 1955 by mutual defense treatiesknown as the Warsaw Pact had a military forcethat the Soviet Union controlled The formationof NATO and the Warsaw Pact divided Europeinto two armed camps

The United States RearmsAfter World War II some of President Trumanrsquos

foreign policy advisers in the National SecurityCouncil (NSC) argued that America could not relyon other nations to contain the Soviets and resistthe spread of communism Unlike George Kennanand the supporters of the containment policy theNSC advisers believed the United States neededto take a more active stand against communismeverywheremdashnot just in strategic locations

In 1950 the NSC released a report known asNSC-68 which said that the United States mustactively

The Postwar EconomyAfter World War II the nation and its economy had to adjust to peacetime

life Industries had to shift from producing war materials to making consumergoods Defense workers had to be retrained to work in consumer industriesand returning soldiers needed jobs

During the war government price controls had kept the cost of consumergoods such as food and clothing quite stable When the government removedthese controls prices began to surge This rise in prices or inflation also resultedfrom a huge increase in consumer demand and spending During the war years

CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

Americans had saved their money because manyconsumer goods were unavailable or rationedNow they were eager to spend this money onnew consumer products and services

Workers Seek Higher WagesAs a result of inflation consumer prices rose at

a much faster rate than wages During the warworkers had accepted government controls onwages and agreed not to strike Now they wouldno longer be put off When employers refused toraise wages labor unions called for strikes In1945 and 1946 millions of steelworkers railroadworkers and others walked off their jobsdemanding higher wages and better conditions

Labor unrest and strikes disrupted the nationrsquoseconomy When miners went on strike in 1946many Americans feared that dwindling coal sup-plies would cause the economy to grind to a haltAt about the same time a strike by railroadworkers caused a total shutdown of the nationrsquosrailroads which were vital to the economy

Truman Takes ActionAlarmed by the labor unrest President Tru-

man pressured the striking miners and railroadworkers to go back to their jobs In May 1946 he threatened to draft them into the army if theydid not return to work The president insisted hehad the right to take such steps to keep vitalindustries operating

President Truman finally forced striking min-ers back on the job by having the governmenttake over the mines At the same time howeverhe persuaded the mine owners to grant many ofthe workersrsquo demands Truman also pressuredrailroad workers to return to work

Democratic Party for the nationrsquos economicproblems In the congressional elections of 1946the slogan ldquoHad Enoughrdquo helped Republicanswin control of both houses of Congress

The new Republican Congress moved quicklyto create its own plans for the nation Havingrejected Trumanrsquos program for reform theRepublicans now set up proposals to enact aprogram that would limit government spend-ing control labor unions reduce governmentregulation of the economy and reverse policiesadopted in the 1930s under FDRrsquos New Deal

For many Republicans in Congress the mostimportant problem facing the nation was laborunrest and the growing power of labor unionsConservative Republicans favored big business

and wanted to limit the power of unions In the spring of 1947 Congress introduced theTaft-Hartley bill This bill limited the actionsworkers could take against their employers Itoutlawed the closed shop a workplace thathires only union members It also allowed thegovernment to temporarily stop any strike thatendangered public health or safety This provi-sion aimed to prevent any future strikes likethose of the miners and the railroad workers theyear before Union members and their leaderssharply criticized the Taft-Hartley Act calling ita ldquoslave labor billrdquo Although President Trumanopposed recent strikes he also knew that theDemocrats needed the support of labor Trumanvetoed the act but the Republican-controlledCongress overrode his veto

Government ReorganizationOne issue on which Truman and Congress

agreed was the need to improve the adminis-tration of the federal government which had

greatly expanded since the New Deal In 1947Truman appointed a commission headed byformer President Herbert Hoover to studyways of improving the efficiency of govern-ment Out of the Hoover Commissionrsquos workcame plans to create new government depart-ments and agencies

In 1947 Congress passed the National Secu-rity Act It unified the army navy marines andair force under the Department of Defense Asecretary of defense headed the new depart-ment The act also set up a permanent JointChiefs of Staff made up of the heads of each ofthe armed forces to coordinate military policyA National Security Council operating out ofthe White House would advise the presidenton foreign and military matters

The National Security Act also set up anotherinstitution the Central Intelligence Agency(CIA) The CIA aids American foreign policy by collecting information about what is going onin other countries evaluating it and passing it

Many Americans feared that the CIA wouldbe used to spy on American citizens Trumanhowever promised that the new agency wouldoperate only in foreign lands and would notbring ldquopolice state methodsrdquo into Americansociety The CIA was so successful that in 1949Congress gave that agency the right to receiveexchange and spend money without givingaccount to Congress

The Election of 1948As the 1948 presidential election approached

Truman appeared to be the underdog Continu-ing economic problems made the presidentunpopular with many Americans and his lackof success in winning passage of domesticreforms made Trumanrsquos administration lookweak and ineffective

Divisions within the Democratic Party alsoincreased the chances of an easy Republican vic-tory At the partyrsquos national convention a groupof Southern Democrats walked out to protestTrumanrsquos support for civil rights legislation TheSouthern Democrats formed the Statesrsquo RightsDemocratic Party or Dixiecrats and nominatedGovernor Strom Thurmond of South Carolinafor president At the same time some liberalmembers of the Democratic Party left to formthe Progressive Party with Henry Wallace astheir nominee for president Wallace opposedTrumanrsquos foreign policy and called for closer tiesbetween the United States and the Soviet Union

Dewey Leads PollsWith the Democrats badly divided it looked

as though Governor Thomas Dewey of NewYork the Republican nominee would surelywin the election Opinion polls showed Deweywith a huge lead One pollster remarked ldquoMrDewey is still so clearly ahead that we might justas well get ready to listen to his inauguralrdquo

Truman campaigned aggressively Travelingmore than 30000 miles (48000 km) by train on a ldquowhistle-stoprdquo tour of the country he gavesome 250 speeches along the way In town aftertown he sharply attacked what he called ldquothat do-nothing good-for-nothing worst Congressrdquofor rejecting his Fair Deal legislation

Truman Stages an UpsetOn Election Day experts still expected Dewey

to win Expectations for a Republican victorywere so great that on the evening of the elec-tionmdashbefore many votes were countedmdashtheChicago Daily Tribune newspaper issued a specialedition announcing ldquoDewey Defeats Trumanrdquo

The nation was in for a great surprise Whenall the ballots were counted Truman had edgedout Dewey by more than two million votes in anarrow upset victory Democrats also regainedcontrol of both the House of Representativesand the Senate in the election

Analyzing Why was the outcome ofthe 1948 presidential election a surprise

A Fair Deal for AmericansTruman took the election results as a sign that

Americans wanted reform He quickly reintro-duced the Fair Deal legislation he had presented to Congress in 1945 Some of thesereform measures passed but his plan lackedbroad support and Congress defeated most ofthe measures Congress did pass laws to raisethe minimum wage expand Social Security ben-efits for senior citizens and provide funds forhousing for low-income families

CitizenshipA Stand on Civil Rights

In a message to Congress in 1948 PresidentTruman declared

ldquoWe shall not however finally achieve theideals for which this nation was founded so longas any American suffers discrimination as aresult of his race or religion or color or theland of origin of his forefathersrdquo

803CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

The Soviet Union and the United States couldnot agree on how to unify Korea When thesetwo nations removed their forces in 1949 Korearemained divided Tensions between the twoKoreas were high

On June 24 1950 President Truman flew to his home in Independence Missouri for a briefvacation While sitting on his porch on a hotsummer night the president received a tele-phone call from Secretary of State Dean AchesonldquoMr Presidentrdquo Acheson said in a grim tone ldquoIhave very serious news The North Koreans haveinvaded South Koreardquo Truman knew this meantonly one thing the United States soon would beinvolved in military action in Asia

The Invasion of South KoreaAfter the American troops pulled out of South

Korea North Korea decided to unify the countryby force On June 25 1950 the armies of NorthKorea crossed the 38th parallel into South KoreaPoorly armed the South Koreans were no matchfor the North Within days the Communistforces had gained control over much of SouthKorea including Seoul the capital city

President Truman reacted quickly to theKorean invasion which he believed was sup-ported by the Soviet Union Without askingCongress to actually declare war Trumanordered the use of limited American air and seaforces in Korea He called this ldquopolice actionrdquonecessary to carry out Americarsquos policy of con-tainment Truman said

ldquoKorea is the Greece of the Far East If we aretough enough now if we stand up to them likewe did in Greece three years ago they wonrsquottake any next stepsrdquo

United Nations RespondsAt the same time President Truman asked the

UN to send forces to defend the South KoreansThe United Nations condemned the invasion ofSouth Korea and agreed to send a special forceto the region under the United Statesrsquos directionPresident Truman quickly appointed GeneralDouglas MacArthur a hero of World War II tocommand the UN forces

On June 30 just days after the North Koreaninvasion General MacArthur led Americantroops into Korea to stop the Communistadvance By the end of 1950 other nations weresupplying troops or other assistance to theAmerican-led war effort Even so Americansmade up the majority of troops throughout theKorean War

The United Nations had a clear but difficultgoalmdashpush the North Koreans back across the38th parallel When China intervened in the con-flict this goal changed causing Truman andMacArthur to clash over military strategy

Early Phases of the WarBy September 1950 North Korean forces had

pushed all the way to the southern tip of theKorean Peninsula Only a small area in thesoutheast around the port city of Pusan was stillheld by the South Korean army

After joining the South Koreans GeneralMacArthur designed a bold counterattackagainst North Korea In September UnitedNations forces made a daring landing midwayon the Korean Peninsula near the port ofInchon They took that strategic city and movedon to recapture Seoul

Meanwhile American and UN troops beganpushing north from Pusan By October 1 theNorth Koreans caught between UN forcesadvancing from both Seoul and Pusan wereforced to retreat north across the 38th parallelSouth Korea now came under the control of theUnited Nations forces

Taking the OffensiveEncouraged by this success General Mac-

Arthur urged President Truman to order aninvasion of North Korea He assured Trumanthat neither China nor the Soviet Union wouldenter the war to help North Korea and he prom-ised to have troops ldquohome by Christmasrdquo Tru-man sought and received approval from theUnited Nations to cross the 38th parallel invadethe North and create ldquoa unified independentand democratic Koreardquomdasha new goal for the war

After receiving these new orders MacArthurmoved his forces northward The UN forces cap-tured Pyongyang the North Korean capital onOctober 19 and then moved north toward theYalu River part of North Korearsquos border withChina Total victory seemed just days away

As the UN forces advanced the United Statesreceived a warning from the Chinese If theinvasion of North Korea continued Chinawould send in its army to support the NorthKoreans Believing the Chinese warning was abluff President Truman allowed MacArthur tocontinue moving north

The Chinese were not bluffing however Bylate October thousands of Chinese troops beganmassing along the border and some crossed theYalu River southward into North Korea OnNovember 26 huge numbers of Chinese troopslaunched an attack on United Nations forcesBadly outnumbered the UN forces retreatedsouth back across the 38th parallel Withinweeks the Communists had recaptured Seoul

Truman and MacArthur DisagreeAs the stalemate dragged on President Tru-

man began to consider negotiating an end to thefighting General MacArthur however arguedthat the UN forces should now attack Chinaeither by invading the country or by bombingChinese troops stationed in North Korea Tru-man opposed MacArthurrsquos plan fearing thatsuch actions would lead to a larger war withChina or escalate into another world war

In a letter to a member of Congress Mac-Arthur complained that he was being kept fromdoing his job ldquoWe must winrdquo he wrote ldquoThereis no substitute for victoryrdquo

On April 11 1951 President Truman relievedGeneral MacArthur of his command in Korea ldquoIcould do nothing else and still be president of theUnited Statesrdquo Truman concluded He wrote

ldquoIf I allowed him to defy the civil authoritiesin this manner I myself would be violating myoath to uphold and defend the Constitutionrdquo

MacArthurrsquos firing created a storm of protestin the United States The general was extremelypopular and polls showed that a majority ofAmericans supported him against the presidentMoreover MacArthur did not go quietly After receiving a herorsquos welcome on his return to theUnited States he delivered a farewell speech toCongress ldquoOld soldiers never dierdquo he saidldquothey just fade awayrdquo

Ending the ConflictThe two sides in the

Korean War begannegotiations in July1951 The talks lastedfor two years before acease-fire agreementwas signed on July 271953 during the presi-dency of Dwight Eisenhower This agreementending the war created a demilitarized zonemdasharegion where military forces could not entermdashbetween North and South Korea The zoneextended roughly a mile and a half on eitherside of the 38th parallel

The Korean War ended with neither sideachieving victory and almost no change in terri-tory Losses had been great More than 54000Americans died in the war and another 103000were wounded Nearly two million Koreans andChinese lost their lives and large portions ofNorth and South Korea were devastated

Americarsquos involvement in the Korean War senta clear message to the Soviet Union The UnitedStates was committed to fighting Communistexpansion with money arms and even lives Atthe same time the inability of the United States towin a clear victory contributed to uncertainty athome about the nationrsquos foreign policy

This Red Scare dominated the nationrsquos politicsfor years and led to a massive hunt to uncoverCommunists In this climate of fear few Ameri-cans were safe from accusations of disloyaltymdashnot even the president

Republican critics began accusing PresidentTruman of being too easy on Communists In1947 Truman responded by ordering an investi-gation into the loyalty of all federal employeesMillions of government workers had to undergosecurity checks and thousands were investi-gated by the FBI Although the investigationsfound little evidence of espionage many federalemployees lost their jobs

Loyalty Oaths and InvestigationsMany state and local governments colleges

and businesses began similar campaigns touncover communist subversion Some organiza-tions required individuals to sign oaths swearingtheir loyalty to the United States Those whorefused risked losing their jobs

In 1950 Congress passed the McCarran Actwhich required all Communist organizations toregister with the government and to providelists of members President Truman vetoed theact ldquoIn a free country we punish men for crimesthey commitrdquo he said ldquobut never for the opin-ions they holdrdquo Congress overrode his veto

In 1947 a congressional committee the HouseUn-American Activities Committee (HUAC)began investigating communist subversion inthe nation In widely publicized hearings thecommittee questioned people about their knowl-edge of Communists or Communist sympathiz-ers Individuals came under suspicion because ofthe beliefs of their friends or coworkersmdashguiltby association The committeersquos activities fueledan anti-Communist hysteria in the nation

HUAC launched a sensational investigationof the Hollywood film industry rumored to befull of Communists A number of those whowere summoned refused to testify and severalscreenwriters and directorsmdashthe ldquoHollywoodTenrdquomdashwent to jail for refusing to answer ques-tions about their political beliefs or those of theircolleagues Reacting to public and governmentpressure film companies created blacklistsmdash

lists of individuals whose loyalty was suspi-ciousmdashthat barred people from working in Hollywoodrsquos film industry

American Spies RevealedIn 1948 Whittaker Chambers a magazine

editor volunteered to testify before HUACAfter admitting that he had spied for the SovietUnion in the 1930s Chambers accused AlgerHiss a former State Department official of giv-ing him secret government documents in 1937and 1938 to pass on to the Soviets

Chambers produced secret State Departmentpapers he claimed were written by Hiss andmicrofilm of other secret documents Chambersswore that he had received the microfilm (whichwas hidden in a pumpkin) from Hiss Investiga-tors could not prosecute Hiss for spying becausetoo much time had passed since the events had occurred However he was found guilty ofperjury or lying and sent to prison

Smith also served fourterms in the SenateNever afraid to speak outon the issues she wasone of the first to con-demn the tactics used by

Senator Joseph McCarthyin his crusade againstcommunism

In 1964 Smith was oneof the presidential nomi-nees at the RepublicanNational Conventionmaking her the firstwoman to have her nameplaced in nomination by amajor political party

The most dramatic spy case to come beforeHUAC involved the atomic bomb Julius andEthel Rosenberg a New York couple who weremembers of the Communist Party were accusedof plotting to pass secret information about theatomic bomb to the Soviet Union Brought totrial in 1951 the Rosenbergs were convicted andsentenced to death The judge in the casedeclared their crime ldquoworse than murderrdquo

Groups around the world protested the sen-tence as a gross injustice but higher courtsupheld the death sentence decision Executed in1953 the Rosenbergs maintained their inno-cence to the end and claimed that they were per-secuted because of their political beliefs

Explaining What did the McCarranAct require

McCarthyismFrom 1950 to 1954 the hunt for Communists

in America was dominated by Senator JosephMcCarthy of Wisconsin During those yearsMcCarthy publicly attacked many peopleallegedmdashdeclared without proofmdashto be Com-

munists His unfounded accusations destroyedthe careers of many innocent Americans andheightened the atmosphere of anti-Communisthysteria in the country A new word was coinedMcCarthyism which came to mean the use ofunproved accusations against political oppo-nents

Joseph McCarthy rose to national attentionalmost overnight In a speech in Wheeling WestVirginia in February 1950 he announced thatAmerica had been betrayed by the ldquotraitorousactionsrdquo of certain individuals Raising a sheetof paper he claimed to have in his hand a list of205 State Department employees who weremembers of the Communist Party Millions ofAmericans believed McCarthyrsquos charges

During the next four years McCarthy contin-ued to accuse government officials and others ofbeing Communists His congressional subcom-mittee attacked and bullied the people it calledto testify Many federal employees resigned orwere dismissed as a result of McCarthyrsquos inves-tigations

Even the most powerful government officialshesitated to oppose him McCarthy often targetedDemocrats He and his Republican colleagues in

Congress saw anticommunism as an importantissue to use against the Democratic Party SomeRepublican candidates for Congress includingRichard Nixon successfully smeared their oppo-nents with charges of being soft on communismSuch tactics worked because so many Americansfeared the threat of communism

McCarthyrsquos DownfallIn 1954 McCarthy launched an investigation

of the United States Army He made alarmingclaims that Communists had infiltrated the mili-tary In a series of televised hearings watched bymillions of Americans McCarthy hurled wildaccusations at highly respected army officials

The televised Army-McCarthy Hearingsproved the turning point in the McCarthy inves-tigations For weeks Americans witnessedMcCarthyrsquos sneering and cruel attacks Towardthe end of the hearings Joseph Welch an attor-ney for the army said to McCarthy

ldquoUntil this moment Senator I think I neverreally gauged your cruelty or your recklessness Have you left no sense of decencyrdquo

Many Americans now came to viewMcCarthy as a cruel bully who had little basisfor his accusations Congress also turned againstMcCarthy In December 1954 the Senate votedto censure or formally criticize him for ldquocon-duct unbecoming a senatorrdquo Censure and the

Soviet Expansion in EuropeThe uneasy wartime alliance between the

Western nations and the Soviet Union did notlast Stalin did not keep his promise to hold freeelections in Eastern Europe Instead the Sovietsset up Communist governments in these coun-tries and Soviet forces remained in the region

Developments in Eastern Europe led to agrowing distrust between the Soviet Union andWestern nations Europe split into two campsmdashthe Soviet-controlled Communist governments of the East and the capitalist democracies

The Iron CurtainWinston Churchill believed that the division

between East and West was permanent In 1946he declared in a speech in Fulton Missouri thatan ldquoiron curtainrdquo had descended on EuropeChurchill meant that the Soviets had cut offEastern Europe from the West Behind this ironcurtain he said lay the countries of EasternEurope ldquoin what I must call the Soviet sphereand all are subject to a very high measure ofcontrol from Moscowrdquo

Churchill warned that the Soviets wouldeventually look beyond Eastern Europe and tryto gain control of other parts of the world Thisidea alarmed Americans who had feared thespread of communism ever since the RussianRevolution in 1917

Civil war raged in Greece as Communistrebels armed by the Soviet Union attempted tooverthrow the Greek king and his pro-Westerngovernment At the same time the Soviets putenormous pressure on Turkey to give themnaval bases on the straits leading to theMediterranean Sea

Containing the SovietsSeeking ways to counter Soviet expansion

President Truman drew from the ideas of GeorgeF Kennan an American diplomat and an experton Soviet history and culture Kennan argued thatthe United States and the Soviet Union could notcooperate and that the United States must takeforceful steps to stop Soviet expansion His ideasled to the policy of containment The UnitedStates would try to ldquocontainrdquo Soviet expansionthrough limited military means and nonmilitarymeans in areas of the world that were of strategicimportance to the United States Kennan definedthese areas narrowlymdashmostly Western Europeand Japan But other US officials graduallyexpanded their view of what was of strategicimportance to the country and its future

The Truman DoctrineThe policy of containment soon went into

effect Speaking to Congress in March 1947 thepresident proposed a policy that became knownas the Truman Doctrine a commitment to helpnations threatened by communism and Sovietexpansion

ldquoI believe that it must be the policy of theUnited States to support free peoples who areresisting attempted subjugation [conquest] byarmed minorities or by outside pressuresrdquo

Congress voted to give military and economicassistance to Greece and Turkey to hold back theSoviet threat

The Marshall PlanAt the end of World War II much of Europe

lay in ruins Bombing had destroyed countlesshouses factories bridges and roads Many peo-ple lacked homes and jobs and they often didnot have enough food Their war-ravaged soci-eties provided fertile ground for communismwith its promises of housing and employmentfor all

George Marshall the US secretary of statesaw Western Europe as strategically importantto the United States He believed that the bestway to keep the countries of Western Europefree of communism would be to help restore

their economies In June 1947 Marshall pro-posed a plan to provide massive economic aid toEurope At first his plan met some resistance inCongress After Soviet-supported Communiststook over the government of Czechoslovakiain February 1948 however this resistance disappeared

Congress approved the Marshall Plan a pro-gram of economic aid for Europe that became avital part of the policy of containment Between1948 and 1951 the Marshall Plan contributednearly $13 billion to the rebuilding of the coun-tries of Western Europe As Marshall had pre-dicted no Western government in the region fellto a communist revolution

Explaining How was the MarshallPlan supposed to check communist expansion

Crisis in BerlinThe Allied leaders at Yalta had divided Ger-

many into four occupation zones The SovietUnion controlled the eastern part of the countrywhile the United States Britain and Francedivided the western part The German capital of Berlin located deep within Soviet-controlled East Germany was also dividedamong the four nations

President Truman believed that a reunitedGermany was essential to the future of EuropeStalin on the other hand feared that a reunitedGermany would once again pose a threat to theSoviet Union He sought to maintain Sovietinfluence in a divided Germany Tensions overthe German issue led to a serious crisis in 1948

The Berlin BlockadeOn June 7 1948 the United States Britain

and France announced that they were unitingtheir zones to form a new West German repub-lic Each nationrsquos section of Berlin would beincluded in this republic as well even though the city lay within Soviet-held East Germany

The Berlin blockade was Stalinrsquos answer to theWestrsquos plans for West Germany On June 24 1948Soviet troops rushed into position around theedge of West Berlin Almost overnight they cre-ated a blockade stopping traffic on all highway

The United States and the countries of West-ern Europe agreed that the best way to containthe Soviets was through mutual defense In

Berlin AirliftIn June 1948 the Soviet Union halted all traffic by land

The effortmdashsome 278000 flights delivering 2 million tons of suppliesmdashmelted the hatredbetween former American and German enemies InMay 1949 the Soviet Union finally lifted its blockade

A West Berlin taxi driver explained how the airlift boosted the morale

railroad and water routes through East Germany to West Berlin As a result WestBerlin and its two million citizens were cut off from vital supplies The Soviets hoped thisblockade would drive the West out of Berlin

The Berlin AirliftPresident Truman refused to give in to the

Soviets ldquoWe stay in Berlin periodrdquo he declaredbut he did not want to risk war by using militaryforce to end the blockade Instead he organizeda massive airlift to save the city American andBritish cargo planes began flying food fuel andother supplies into West Berlin

The Berlin airlift continued day and night formore than 10 months delivering tons of suppliesto West Berlin Realizing that the Western powersintended to stay in the city Stalin ended the Berlinblockade in May 1949 Despite the success of theairlift Berlin and Germany remained divided In October 1949 the division of Germany into two

In response to NATO the Soviet Union cre-ated an alliance of its own with the Communistgovernments of Eastern Europe The allianceestablished in 1955 by mutual defense treatiesknown as the Warsaw Pact had a military forcethat the Soviet Union controlled The formationof NATO and the Warsaw Pact divided Europeinto two armed camps

The United States RearmsAfter World War II some of President Trumanrsquos

foreign policy advisers in the National SecurityCouncil (NSC) argued that America could not relyon other nations to contain the Soviets and resistthe spread of communism Unlike George Kennanand the supporters of the containment policy theNSC advisers believed the United States neededto take a more active stand against communismeverywheremdashnot just in strategic locations

In 1950 the NSC released a report known asNSC-68 which said that the United States mustactively

The Postwar EconomyAfter World War II the nation and its economy had to adjust to peacetime

life Industries had to shift from producing war materials to making consumergoods Defense workers had to be retrained to work in consumer industriesand returning soldiers needed jobs

During the war government price controls had kept the cost of consumergoods such as food and clothing quite stable When the government removedthese controls prices began to surge This rise in prices or inflation also resultedfrom a huge increase in consumer demand and spending During the war years

CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

Americans had saved their money because manyconsumer goods were unavailable or rationedNow they were eager to spend this money onnew consumer products and services

Workers Seek Higher WagesAs a result of inflation consumer prices rose at

a much faster rate than wages During the warworkers had accepted government controls onwages and agreed not to strike Now they wouldno longer be put off When employers refused toraise wages labor unions called for strikes In1945 and 1946 millions of steelworkers railroadworkers and others walked off their jobsdemanding higher wages and better conditions

Labor unrest and strikes disrupted the nationrsquoseconomy When miners went on strike in 1946many Americans feared that dwindling coal sup-plies would cause the economy to grind to a haltAt about the same time a strike by railroadworkers caused a total shutdown of the nationrsquosrailroads which were vital to the economy

Truman Takes ActionAlarmed by the labor unrest President Tru-

man pressured the striking miners and railroadworkers to go back to their jobs In May 1946 he threatened to draft them into the army if theydid not return to work The president insisted hehad the right to take such steps to keep vitalindustries operating

President Truman finally forced striking min-ers back on the job by having the governmenttake over the mines At the same time howeverhe persuaded the mine owners to grant many ofthe workersrsquo demands Truman also pressuredrailroad workers to return to work

Describing What happened to theprice of consumer goods when demand grew after the war

Truman Faces the RepublicansIn September 1945 President Truman a

Democrat presented Congress with a plan ofdomestic reforms aimed at solving some of thenationrsquos economic problems Truman latercalled this program the Fair Deal

Truman proposed to raise the minimum wageexpand Social Security benefits increase federalspending to create jobs build new public hous-ing and create a system of national health insur-ance However because of opposition by acoalition of Republicans and Southern Demo-crats these measures failed to pass in Congress

Republicans Control CongressMany Americans blamed Truman and the

Democratic Party for the nationrsquos economicproblems In the congressional elections of 1946the slogan ldquoHad Enoughrdquo helped Republicanswin control of both houses of Congress

The new Republican Congress moved quicklyto create its own plans for the nation Havingrejected Trumanrsquos program for reform theRepublicans now set up proposals to enact aprogram that would limit government spend-ing control labor unions reduce governmentregulation of the economy and reverse policiesadopted in the 1930s under FDRrsquos New Deal

For many Republicans in Congress the mostimportant problem facing the nation was laborunrest and the growing power of labor unionsConservative Republicans favored big business

and wanted to limit the power of unions In the spring of 1947 Congress introduced theTaft-Hartley bill This bill limited the actionsworkers could take against their employers Itoutlawed the closed shop a workplace thathires only union members It also allowed thegovernment to temporarily stop any strike thatendangered public health or safety This provi-sion aimed to prevent any future strikes likethose of the miners and the railroad workers theyear before Union members and their leaderssharply criticized the Taft-Hartley Act calling ita ldquoslave labor billrdquo Although President Trumanopposed recent strikes he also knew that theDemocrats needed the support of labor Trumanvetoed the act but the Republican-controlledCongress overrode his veto

Government ReorganizationOne issue on which Truman and Congress

agreed was the need to improve the adminis-tration of the federal government which had

greatly expanded since the New Deal In 1947Truman appointed a commission headed byformer President Herbert Hoover to studyways of improving the efficiency of govern-ment Out of the Hoover Commissionrsquos workcame plans to create new government depart-ments and agencies

In 1947 Congress passed the National Secu-rity Act It unified the army navy marines andair force under the Department of Defense Asecretary of defense headed the new depart-ment The act also set up a permanent JointChiefs of Staff made up of the heads of each ofthe armed forces to coordinate military policyA National Security Council operating out ofthe White House would advise the presidenton foreign and military matters

The Election of 1948As the 1948 presidential election approached

Truman appeared to be the underdog Continu-ing economic problems made the presidentunpopular with many Americans and his lackof success in winning passage of domesticreforms made Trumanrsquos administration lookweak and ineffective

Divisions within the Democratic Party alsoincreased the chances of an easy Republican vic-tory At the partyrsquos national convention a groupof Southern Democrats walked out to protestTrumanrsquos support for civil rights legislation TheSouthern Democrats formed the Statesrsquo RightsDemocratic Party or Dixiecrats and nominatedGovernor Strom Thurmond of South Carolinafor president At the same time some liberalmembers of the Democratic Party left to formthe Progressive Party with Henry Wallace astheir nominee for president Wallace opposedTrumanrsquos foreign policy and called for closer tiesbetween the United States and the Soviet Union

Dewey Leads PollsWith the Democrats badly divided it looked

as though Governor Thomas Dewey of NewYork the Republican nominee would surelywin the election Opinion polls showed Deweywith a huge lead One pollster remarked ldquoMrDewey is still so clearly ahead that we might justas well get ready to listen to his inauguralrdquo

A Fair Deal for AmericansTruman took the election results as a sign that

Americans wanted reform He quickly reintro-duced the Fair Deal legislation he had presented to Congress in 1945 Some of thesereform measures passed but his plan lackedbroad support and Congress defeated most ofthe measures Congress did pass laws to raisethe minimum wage expand Social Security ben-efits for senior citizens and provide funds forhousing for low-income families

ldquoWe shall not however finally achieve theideals for which this nation was founded so longas any American suffers discrimination as aresult of his race or religion or color or theland of origin of his forefathersrdquo

The Invasion of South KoreaAfter the American troops pulled out of South

Korea North Korea decided to unify the countryby force On June 25 1950 the armies of NorthKorea crossed the 38th parallel into South KoreaPoorly armed the South Koreans were no matchfor the North Within days the Communistforces had gained control over much of SouthKorea including Seoul the capital city

President Truman reacted quickly to theKorean invasion which he believed was sup-ported by the Soviet Union Without askingCongress to actually declare war Trumanordered the use of limited American air and seaforces in Korea He called this ldquopolice actionrdquonecessary to carry out Americarsquos policy of con-tainment Truman said

ldquoKorea is the Greece of the Far East If we aretough enough now if we stand up to them likewe did in Greece three years ago they wonrsquottake any next stepsrdquo

United Nations RespondsAt the same time President Truman asked the

UN to send forces to defend the South KoreansThe United Nations condemned the invasion ofSouth Korea and agreed to send a special forceto the region under the United Statesrsquos directionPresident Truman quickly appointed GeneralDouglas MacArthur a hero of World War II tocommand the UN forces

On June 30 just days after the North Koreaninvasion General MacArthur led Americantroops into Korea to stop the Communistadvance By the end of 1950 other nations weresupplying troops or other assistance to theAmerican-led war effort Even so Americansmade up the majority of troops throughout theKorean War

The United Nations had a clear but difficultgoalmdashpush the North Koreans back across the38th parallel When China intervened in the con-flict this goal changed causing Truman andMacArthur to clash over military strategy

Early Phases of the WarBy September 1950 North Korean forces had

pushed all the way to the southern tip of theKorean Peninsula Only a small area in thesoutheast around the port city of Pusan was stillheld by the South Korean army

After joining the South Koreans GeneralMacArthur designed a bold counterattackagainst North Korea In September UnitedNations forces made a daring landing midwayon the Korean Peninsula near the port ofInchon They took that strategic city and movedon to recapture Seoul

Meanwhile American and UN troops beganpushing north from Pusan By October 1 theNorth Koreans caught between UN forcesadvancing from both Seoul and Pusan wereforced to retreat north across the 38th parallelSouth Korea now came under the control of theUnited Nations forces

Taking the OffensiveEncouraged by this success General Mac-

Arthur urged President Truman to order aninvasion of North Korea He assured Trumanthat neither China nor the Soviet Union wouldenter the war to help North Korea and he prom-ised to have troops ldquohome by Christmasrdquo Tru-man sought and received approval from theUnited Nations to cross the 38th parallel invadethe North and create ldquoa unified independentand democratic Koreardquomdasha new goal for the war

After receiving these new orders MacArthurmoved his forces northward The UN forces cap-tured Pyongyang the North Korean capital onOctober 19 and then moved north toward theYalu River part of North Korearsquos border withChina Total victory seemed just days away

As the UN forces advanced the United Statesreceived a warning from the Chinese If theinvasion of North Korea continued Chinawould send in its army to support the NorthKoreans Believing the Chinese warning was abluff President Truman allowed MacArthur tocontinue moving north

The Chinese were not bluffing however Bylate October thousands of Chinese troops beganmassing along the border and some crossed theYalu River southward into North Korea OnNovember 26 huge numbers of Chinese troopslaunched an attack on United Nations forcesBadly outnumbered the UN forces retreatedsouth back across the 38th parallel Withinweeks the Communists had recaptured Seoul

American Leadership DividedBy January 1951 United Nations forces man-

Truman and MacArthur DisagreeAs the stalemate dragged on President Tru-

man began to consider negotiating an end to thefighting General MacArthur however arguedthat the UN forces should now attack Chinaeither by invading the country or by bombingChinese troops stationed in North Korea Tru-man opposed MacArthurrsquos plan fearing thatsuch actions would lead to a larger war withChina or escalate into another world war

In a letter to a member of Congress Mac-Arthur complained that he was being kept fromdoing his job ldquoWe must winrdquo he wrote ldquoThereis no substitute for victoryrdquo

On April 11 1951 President Truman relievedGeneral MacArthur of his command in Korea ldquoIcould do nothing else and still be president of theUnited Statesrdquo Truman concluded He wrote

ldquoIf I allowed him to defy the civil authoritiesin this manner I myself would be violating myoath to uphold and defend the Constitutionrdquo

MacArthurrsquos firing created a storm of protestin the United States The general was extremelypopular and polls showed that a majority ofAmericans supported him against the presidentMoreover MacArthur did not go quietly After receiving a herorsquos welcome on his return to theUnited States he delivered a farewell speech toCongress ldquoOld soldiers never dierdquo he saidldquothey just fade awayrdquo

Ending the ConflictThe two sides in the

Korean War begannegotiations in July1951 The talks lastedfor two years before acease-fire agreementwas signed on July 271953 during the presi-dency of Dwight Eisenhower This agreementending the war created a demilitarized zonemdasharegion where military forces could not entermdashbetween North and South Korea The zoneextended roughly a mile and a half on eitherside of the 38th parallel

The Korean War ended with neither sideachieving victory and almost no change in terri-tory Losses had been great More than 54000Americans died in the war and another 103000were wounded Nearly two million Koreans andChinese lost their lives and large portions ofNorth and South Korea were devastated

Americarsquos involvement in the Korean War senta clear message to the Soviet Union The UnitedStates was committed to fighting Communistexpansion with money arms and even lives Atthe same time the inability of the United States towin a clear victory contributed to uncertainty athome about the nationrsquos foreign policy

This Red Scare dominated the nationrsquos politicsfor years and led to a massive hunt to uncoverCommunists In this climate of fear few Ameri-cans were safe from accusations of disloyaltymdashnot even the president

Republican critics began accusing PresidentTruman of being too easy on Communists In1947 Truman responded by ordering an investi-gation into the loyalty of all federal employeesMillions of government workers had to undergosecurity checks and thousands were investi-gated by the FBI Although the investigationsfound little evidence of espionage many federalemployees lost their jobs

Loyalty Oaths and InvestigationsMany state and local governments colleges

and businesses began similar campaigns touncover communist subversion Some organiza-tions required individuals to sign oaths swearingtheir loyalty to the United States Those whorefused risked losing their jobs

In 1950 Congress passed the McCarran Actwhich required all Communist organizations toregister with the government and to providelists of members President Truman vetoed theact ldquoIn a free country we punish men for crimesthey commitrdquo he said ldquobut never for the opin-ions they holdrdquo Congress overrode his veto

In 1947 a congressional committee the HouseUn-American Activities Committee (HUAC)began investigating communist subversion inthe nation In widely publicized hearings thecommittee questioned people about their knowl-edge of Communists or Communist sympathiz-ers Individuals came under suspicion because ofthe beliefs of their friends or coworkersmdashguiltby association The committeersquos activities fueledan anti-Communist hysteria in the nation

HUAC launched a sensational investigationof the Hollywood film industry rumored to befull of Communists A number of those whowere summoned refused to testify and severalscreenwriters and directorsmdashthe ldquoHollywoodTenrdquomdashwent to jail for refusing to answer ques-tions about their political beliefs or those of theircolleagues Reacting to public and governmentpressure film companies created blacklistsmdash

lists of individuals whose loyalty was suspi-ciousmdashthat barred people from working in Hollywoodrsquos film industry

American Spies RevealedIn 1948 Whittaker Chambers a magazine

editor volunteered to testify before HUACAfter admitting that he had spied for the SovietUnion in the 1930s Chambers accused AlgerHiss a former State Department official of giv-ing him secret government documents in 1937and 1938 to pass on to the Soviets

Chambers produced secret State Departmentpapers he claimed were written by Hiss andmicrofilm of other secret documents Chambersswore that he had received the microfilm (whichwas hidden in a pumpkin) from Hiss Investiga-tors could not prosecute Hiss for spying becausetoo much time had passed since the events had occurred However he was found guilty ofperjury or lying and sent to prison

Margaret Chase Smithof Maine was the firstwoman to be elected toboth houses of Congress

First elected to theHouse in 1940 Smithmade many contributionsduring her four termsDuring World War II sheworked to improve theposition of women in themilitary She played amajor role in the passage

of a new law theWomenrsquos Armed ServicesIntegration Act (1948)that allowed women toserve as permanent regu-lar members of thenationrsquos military forces

Smith also served fourterms in the SenateNever afraid to speak outon the issues she wasone of the first to con-demn the tactics used by

Senator Joseph McCarthyin his crusade againstcommunism

In 1964 Smith was oneof the presidential nomi-nees at the RepublicanNational Conventionmaking her the firstwoman to have her nameplaced in nomination by amajor political party

The most dramatic spy case to come beforeHUAC involved the atomic bomb Julius andEthel Rosenberg a New York couple who weremembers of the Communist Party were accusedof plotting to pass secret information about theatomic bomb to the Soviet Union Brought totrial in 1951 the Rosenbergs were convicted andsentenced to death The judge in the casedeclared their crime ldquoworse than murderrdquo

Groups around the world protested the sen-tence as a gross injustice but higher courtsupheld the death sentence decision Executed in1953 the Rosenbergs maintained their inno-cence to the end and claimed that they were per-secuted because of their political beliefs

Explaining What did the McCarranAct require

McCarthyismFrom 1950 to 1954 the hunt for Communists

in America was dominated by Senator JosephMcCarthy of Wisconsin During those yearsMcCarthy publicly attacked many peopleallegedmdashdeclared without proofmdashto be Com-

munists His unfounded accusations destroyedthe careers of many innocent Americans andheightened the atmosphere of anti-Communisthysteria in the country A new word was coinedMcCarthyism which came to mean the use ofunproved accusations against political oppo-nents

Joseph McCarthy rose to national attentionalmost overnight In a speech in Wheeling WestVirginia in February 1950 he announced thatAmerica had been betrayed by the ldquotraitorousactionsrdquo of certain individuals Raising a sheetof paper he claimed to have in his hand a list of205 State Department employees who weremembers of the Communist Party Millions ofAmericans believed McCarthyrsquos charges

During the next four years McCarthy contin-ued to accuse government officials and others ofbeing Communists His congressional subcom-mittee attacked and bullied the people it calledto testify Many federal employees resigned orwere dismissed as a result of McCarthyrsquos inves-tigations

Even the most powerful government officialshesitated to oppose him McCarthy often targetedDemocrats He and his Republican colleagues in

Congress saw anticommunism as an importantissue to use against the Democratic Party SomeRepublican candidates for Congress includingRichard Nixon successfully smeared their oppo-nents with charges of being soft on communismSuch tactics worked because so many Americansfeared the threat of communism

McCarthyrsquos DownfallIn 1954 McCarthy launched an investigation

of the United States Army He made alarmingclaims that Communists had infiltrated the mili-tary In a series of televised hearings watched bymillions of Americans McCarthy hurled wildaccusations at highly respected army officials

The televised Army-McCarthy Hearingsproved the turning point in the McCarthy inves-tigations For weeks Americans witnessedMcCarthyrsquos sneering and cruel attacks Towardthe end of the hearings Joseph Welch an attor-ney for the army said to McCarthy

ldquoUntil this moment Senator I think I neverreally gauged your cruelty or your recklessness Have you left no sense of decencyrdquo

Many Americans now came to viewMcCarthy as a cruel bully who had little basisfor his accusations Congress also turned againstMcCarthy In December 1954 the Senate votedto censure or formally criticize him for ldquocon-duct unbecoming a senatorrdquo Censure and the

Soviet Expansion in EuropeThe uneasy wartime alliance between the

Western nations and the Soviet Union did notlast Stalin did not keep his promise to hold freeelections in Eastern Europe Instead the Sovietsset up Communist governments in these coun-tries and Soviet forces remained in the region

Developments in Eastern Europe led to agrowing distrust between the Soviet Union andWestern nations Europe split into two campsmdashthe Soviet-controlled Communist governments of the East and the capitalist democracies

The Iron CurtainWinston Churchill believed that the division

between East and West was permanent In 1946he declared in a speech in Fulton Missouri thatan ldquoiron curtainrdquo had descended on EuropeChurchill meant that the Soviets had cut offEastern Europe from the West Behind this ironcurtain he said lay the countries of EasternEurope ldquoin what I must call the Soviet sphereand all are subject to a very high measure ofcontrol from Moscowrdquo

Churchill warned that the Soviets wouldeventually look beyond Eastern Europe and tryto gain control of other parts of the world Thisidea alarmed Americans who had feared thespread of communism ever since the RussianRevolution in 1917

Civil war raged in Greece as Communistrebels armed by the Soviet Union attempted tooverthrow the Greek king and his pro-Westerngovernment At the same time the Soviets putenormous pressure on Turkey to give themnaval bases on the straits leading to theMediterranean Sea

Containing the SovietsSeeking ways to counter Soviet expansion

President Truman drew from the ideas of GeorgeF Kennan an American diplomat and an experton Soviet history and culture Kennan argued thatthe United States and the Soviet Union could notcooperate and that the United States must takeforceful steps to stop Soviet expansion His ideasled to the policy of containment The UnitedStates would try to ldquocontainrdquo Soviet expansionthrough limited military means and nonmilitarymeans in areas of the world that were of strategicimportance to the United States Kennan definedthese areas narrowlymdashmostly Western Europeand Japan But other US officials graduallyexpanded their view of what was of strategicimportance to the country and its future

The Truman DoctrineThe policy of containment soon went into

effect Speaking to Congress in March 1947 thepresident proposed a policy that became knownas the Truman Doctrine a commitment to helpnations threatened by communism and Sovietexpansion

ldquoI believe that it must be the policy of theUnited States to support free peoples who areresisting attempted subjugation [conquest] byarmed minorities or by outside pressuresrdquo

Congress voted to give military and economicassistance to Greece and Turkey to hold back theSoviet threat

The Marshall PlanAt the end of World War II much of Europe

lay in ruins Bombing had destroyed countlesshouses factories bridges and roads Many peo-ple lacked homes and jobs and they often didnot have enough food Their war-ravaged soci-eties provided fertile ground for communismwith its promises of housing and employmentfor all

George Marshall the US secretary of statesaw Western Europe as strategically importantto the United States He believed that the bestway to keep the countries of Western Europefree of communism would be to help restore

their economies In June 1947 Marshall pro-posed a plan to provide massive economic aid toEurope At first his plan met some resistance inCongress After Soviet-supported Communiststook over the government of Czechoslovakiain February 1948 however this resistance disappeared

Congress approved the Marshall Plan a pro-gram of economic aid for Europe that became avital part of the policy of containment Between1948 and 1951 the Marshall Plan contributednearly $13 billion to the rebuilding of the coun-tries of Western Europe As Marshall had pre-dicted no Western government in the region fellto a communist revolution

Explaining How was the MarshallPlan supposed to check communist expansion

Crisis in BerlinThe Allied leaders at Yalta had divided Ger-

many into four occupation zones The SovietUnion controlled the eastern part of the countrywhile the United States Britain and Francedivided the western part The German capital of Berlin located deep within Soviet-controlled East Germany was also dividedamong the four nations

President Truman believed that a reunitedGermany was essential to the future of EuropeStalin on the other hand feared that a reunitedGermany would once again pose a threat to theSoviet Union He sought to maintain Sovietinfluence in a divided Germany Tensions overthe German issue led to a serious crisis in 1948

The Berlin BlockadeOn June 7 1948 the United States Britain

and France announced that they were unitingtheir zones to form a new West German repub-lic Each nationrsquos section of Berlin would beincluded in this republic as well even though the city lay within Soviet-held East Germany

The Berlin blockade was Stalinrsquos answer to theWestrsquos plans for West Germany On June 24 1948Soviet troops rushed into position around theedge of West Berlin Almost overnight they cre-ated a blockade stopping traffic on all highway

The effortmdashsome 278000 flights delivering 2 million tons of suppliesmdashmelted the hatredbetween former American and German enemies InMay 1949 the Soviet Union finally lifted its blockade

railroad and water routes through East Germany to West Berlin As a result WestBerlin and its two million citizens were cut off from vital supplies The Soviets hoped thisblockade would drive the West out of Berlin

The Berlin AirliftPresident Truman refused to give in to the

Soviets ldquoWe stay in Berlin periodrdquo he declaredbut he did not want to risk war by using militaryforce to end the blockade Instead he organizeda massive airlift to save the city American andBritish cargo planes began flying food fuel andother supplies into West Berlin

April 1949 the United States Canada and 10Western European nations signed a pact estab-lishing the North Atlantic Treaty Organization(NATO) The agreement stated that ldquoan armedattack against one or more of [the membernations] shall be considered an attack againstallrdquo To defend against a possible Soviet inva-sion of Western Europe the NATO countriescreated a large military force

In response to NATO the Soviet Union cre-ated an alliance of its own with the Communistgovernments of Eastern Europe The allianceestablished in 1955 by mutual defense treatiesknown as the Warsaw Pact had a military forcethat the Soviet Union controlled The formationof NATO and the Warsaw Pact divided Europeinto two armed camps

The United States RearmsAfter World War II some of President Trumanrsquos

foreign policy advisers in the National SecurityCouncil (NSC) argued that America could not relyon other nations to contain the Soviets and resistthe spread of communism Unlike George Kennanand the supporters of the containment policy theNSC advisers believed the United States neededto take a more active stand against communismeverywheremdashnot just in strategic locations

In 1950 the NSC released a report known asNSC-68 which said that the United States mustactively

Independence MovementsAs the Cold War grew more bitter in Europe

nations in other parts of the world were under-going dramatic changes Many states broke freeof colonial rule and established independence

The Philippines gained independence fromthe United States in 1946 For years afterwardFilipinos struggled with terrible poverty gov-ernment corruption and civil war In the late1940s Asian countries such as India Pakistanand Burma broke away from the British Empireto form new nations During the 1950s and theearly 1960s more than 25 African nations gainedindependence from European colonial powersThe path to independence in Africa was oftenbloody Once free the new nations faced theenormous task of building modern societies

In the Middle East Jews and Arabs bothclaimed the region of Palestine an area the

British had controlled In 1947 the United Nationsproposed dividing Palestine into independentJewish and Arab states with Jerusalem as aninternational city The Jews accepted the plan butthe Arab states did not After declaring its inde-pendence the new Jewish state of Israel wasattacked by Arab armies in the first of six majorwars between the Arabs and Israel

Communism in ChinaPerhaps the most threatening change of the

postwar period occurred in China the largestcountry in Asia In 1949 a long civil war endedwith the victory of Chinese Communist forcesled by Mao Zedong (MAU ZUHbullDUNG) overthe armies commanded by Chiang Kai-shek(JEEbullAHNG KYbullSHEHK) the head of the Chi-nese government Mao Zedong formed a newCommunist state the Peoplersquos Republic ofChina while Chiang Kai-shek retreated with hisforces to the island of Taiwan off the southeast-ern coast of China The United States recognizedthe government in Taiwan as the legitimate gov-ernment of all China

With Communists in control of mainlandChina the Soviet Union had a powerful ally inAsia It appeared to many people that the entirecontinent of Asia was in danger of converting to communism

When soldiers returned home after World War II they came back to a nation facingthe difficult task of changing from wartime to peacetime Would the economy collapseagain and another depression sweep the country President Truman was optimisticldquoWe are having our little troubles now Just a blow-up after a little let-down from warrdquoPublic concern however forced the nationrsquos political leaders into a heated debate overthe best way to deal with Americarsquos economic problems

Economics

The Postwar EconomyAfter World War II the nation and its economy had to adjust to peacetime

life Industries had to shift from producing war materials to making consumergoods Defense workers had to be retrained to work in consumer industriesand returning soldiers needed jobs

During the war government price controls had kept the cost of consumergoods such as food and clothing quite stable When the government removedthese controls prices began to surge This rise in prices or inflation also resultedfrom a huge increase in consumer demand and spending During the war years

CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

Americans had saved their money because manyconsumer goods were unavailable or rationedNow they were eager to spend this money onnew consumer products and services

Workers Seek Higher WagesAs a result of inflation consumer prices rose at

a much faster rate than wages During the warworkers had accepted government controls onwages and agreed not to strike Now they wouldno longer be put off When employers refused toraise wages labor unions called for strikes In1945 and 1946 millions of steelworkers railroadworkers and others walked off their jobsdemanding higher wages and better conditions

Labor unrest and strikes disrupted the nationrsquoseconomy When miners went on strike in 1946many Americans feared that dwindling coal sup-plies would cause the economy to grind to a haltAt about the same time a strike by railroadworkers caused a total shutdown of the nationrsquosrailroads which were vital to the economy

Truman Takes ActionAlarmed by the labor unrest President Tru-

man pressured the striking miners and railroadworkers to go back to their jobs In May 1946 he threatened to draft them into the army if theydid not return to work The president insisted hehad the right to take such steps to keep vitalindustries operating

President Truman finally forced striking min-ers back on the job by having the governmenttake over the mines At the same time howeverhe persuaded the mine owners to grant many ofthe workersrsquo demands Truman also pressuredrailroad workers to return to work

Describing What happened to theprice of consumer goods when demand grew after the war

Truman Faces the RepublicansIn September 1945 President Truman a

Democrat presented Congress with a plan ofdomestic reforms aimed at solving some of thenationrsquos economic problems Truman latercalled this program the Fair Deal

Truman proposed to raise the minimum wageexpand Social Security benefits increase federalspending to create jobs build new public hous-ing and create a system of national health insur-ance However because of opposition by acoalition of Republicans and Southern Demo-crats these measures failed to pass in Congress

Republicans Control CongressMany Americans blamed Truman and the

Democratic Party for the nationrsquos economicproblems In the congressional elections of 1946the slogan ldquoHad Enoughrdquo helped Republicanswin control of both houses of Congress

The new Republican Congress moved quicklyto create its own plans for the nation Havingrejected Trumanrsquos program for reform theRepublicans now set up proposals to enact aprogram that would limit government spend-ing control labor unions reduce governmentregulation of the economy and reverse policiesadopted in the 1930s under FDRrsquos New Deal

For many Republicans in Congress the mostimportant problem facing the nation was laborunrest and the growing power of labor unionsConservative Republicans favored big business

and wanted to limit the power of unions In the spring of 1947 Congress introduced theTaft-Hartley bill This bill limited the actionsworkers could take against their employers Itoutlawed the closed shop a workplace thathires only union members It also allowed thegovernment to temporarily stop any strike thatendangered public health or safety This provi-sion aimed to prevent any future strikes likethose of the miners and the railroad workers theyear before Union members and their leaderssharply criticized the Taft-Hartley Act calling ita ldquoslave labor billrdquo Although President Trumanopposed recent strikes he also knew that theDemocrats needed the support of labor Trumanvetoed the act but the Republican-controlledCongress overrode his veto

Government ReorganizationOne issue on which Truman and Congress

agreed was the need to improve the adminis-tration of the federal government which had

greatly expanded since the New Deal In 1947Truman appointed a commission headed byformer President Herbert Hoover to studyways of improving the efficiency of govern-ment Out of the Hoover Commissionrsquos workcame plans to create new government depart-ments and agencies

In 1947 Congress passed the National Secu-rity Act It unified the army navy marines andair force under the Department of Defense Asecretary of defense headed the new depart-ment The act also set up a permanent JointChiefs of Staff made up of the heads of each ofthe armed forces to coordinate military policyA National Security Council operating out ofthe White House would advise the presidenton foreign and military matters

The National Security Act also set up anotherinstitution the Central Intelligence Agency(CIA) The CIA aids American foreign policy by collecting information about what is going onin other countries evaluating it and passing it

Many Americans feared that the CIA wouldbe used to spy on American citizens Trumanhowever promised that the new agency wouldoperate only in foreign lands and would notbring ldquopolice state methodsrdquo into Americansociety The CIA was so successful that in 1949Congress gave that agency the right to receiveexchange and spend money without givingaccount to Congress

The Election of 1948As the 1948 presidential election approached

Truman appeared to be the underdog Continu-ing economic problems made the presidentunpopular with many Americans and his lackof success in winning passage of domesticreforms made Trumanrsquos administration lookweak and ineffective

Divisions within the Democratic Party alsoincreased the chances of an easy Republican vic-tory At the partyrsquos national convention a groupof Southern Democrats walked out to protestTrumanrsquos support for civil rights legislation TheSouthern Democrats formed the Statesrsquo RightsDemocratic Party or Dixiecrats and nominatedGovernor Strom Thurmond of South Carolinafor president At the same time some liberalmembers of the Democratic Party left to formthe Progressive Party with Henry Wallace astheir nominee for president Wallace opposedTrumanrsquos foreign policy and called for closer tiesbetween the United States and the Soviet Union

Dewey Leads PollsWith the Democrats badly divided it looked

as though Governor Thomas Dewey of NewYork the Republican nominee would surelywin the election Opinion polls showed Deweywith a huge lead One pollster remarked ldquoMrDewey is still so clearly ahead that we might justas well get ready to listen to his inauguralrdquo

Truman campaigned aggressively Travelingmore than 30000 miles (48000 km) by train on a ldquowhistle-stoprdquo tour of the country he gavesome 250 speeches along the way In town aftertown he sharply attacked what he called ldquothat do-nothing good-for-nothing worst Congressrdquofor rejecting his Fair Deal legislation

Truman Stages an UpsetOn Election Day experts still expected Dewey

to win Expectations for a Republican victorywere so great that on the evening of the elec-tionmdashbefore many votes were countedmdashtheChicago Daily Tribune newspaper issued a specialedition announcing ldquoDewey Defeats Trumanrdquo

The nation was in for a great surprise Whenall the ballots were counted Truman had edgedout Dewey by more than two million votes in anarrow upset victory Democrats also regainedcontrol of both the House of Representativesand the Senate in the election

Analyzing Why was the outcome ofthe 1948 presidential election a surprise

A Fair Deal for AmericansTruman took the election results as a sign that

Americans wanted reform He quickly reintro-duced the Fair Deal legislation he had presented to Congress in 1945 Some of thesereform measures passed but his plan lackedbroad support and Congress defeated most ofthe measures Congress did pass laws to raisethe minimum wage expand Social Security ben-efits for senior citizens and provide funds forhousing for low-income families

CitizenshipA Stand on Civil Rights

In a message to Congress in 1948 PresidentTruman declared

ldquoWe shall not however finally achieve theideals for which this nation was founded so longas any American suffers discrimination as aresult of his race or religion or color or theland of origin of his forefathersrdquo

The Soviet Union and the United States couldnot agree on how to unify Korea When thesetwo nations removed their forces in 1949 Korearemained divided Tensions between the twoKoreas were high

On June 24 1950 President Truman flew to his home in Independence Missouri for a briefvacation While sitting on his porch on a hotsummer night the president received a tele-phone call from Secretary of State Dean AchesonldquoMr Presidentrdquo Acheson said in a grim tone ldquoIhave very serious news The North Koreans haveinvaded South Koreardquo Truman knew this meantonly one thing the United States soon would beinvolved in military action in Asia

The Invasion of South KoreaAfter the American troops pulled out of South

Korea North Korea decided to unify the countryby force On June 25 1950 the armies of NorthKorea crossed the 38th parallel into South KoreaPoorly armed the South Koreans were no matchfor the North Within days the Communistforces had gained control over much of SouthKorea including Seoul the capital city

President Truman reacted quickly to theKorean invasion which he believed was sup-ported by the Soviet Union Without askingCongress to actually declare war Trumanordered the use of limited American air and seaforces in Korea He called this ldquopolice actionrdquonecessary to carry out Americarsquos policy of con-tainment Truman said

ldquoKorea is the Greece of the Far East If we aretough enough now if we stand up to them likewe did in Greece three years ago they wonrsquottake any next stepsrdquo

United Nations RespondsAt the same time President Truman asked the

UN to send forces to defend the South KoreansThe United Nations condemned the invasion ofSouth Korea and agreed to send a special forceto the region under the United Statesrsquos directionPresident Truman quickly appointed GeneralDouglas MacArthur a hero of World War II tocommand the UN forces

On June 30 just days after the North Koreaninvasion General MacArthur led Americantroops into Korea to stop the Communistadvance By the end of 1950 other nations weresupplying troops or other assistance to theAmerican-led war effort Even so Americansmade up the majority of troops throughout theKorean War

The United Nations had a clear but difficultgoalmdashpush the North Koreans back across the38th parallel When China intervened in the con-flict this goal changed causing Truman andMacArthur to clash over military strategy

Early Phases of the WarBy September 1950 North Korean forces had

pushed all the way to the southern tip of theKorean Peninsula Only a small area in thesoutheast around the port city of Pusan was stillheld by the South Korean army

After joining the South Koreans GeneralMacArthur designed a bold counterattackagainst North Korea In September UnitedNations forces made a daring landing midwayon the Korean Peninsula near the port ofInchon They took that strategic city and movedon to recapture Seoul

Meanwhile American and UN troops beganpushing north from Pusan By October 1 theNorth Koreans caught between UN forcesadvancing from both Seoul and Pusan wereforced to retreat north across the 38th parallelSouth Korea now came under the control of theUnited Nations forces

Taking the OffensiveEncouraged by this success General Mac-

Arthur urged President Truman to order aninvasion of North Korea He assured Trumanthat neither China nor the Soviet Union wouldenter the war to help North Korea and he prom-ised to have troops ldquohome by Christmasrdquo Tru-man sought and received approval from theUnited Nations to cross the 38th parallel invadethe North and create ldquoa unified independentand democratic Koreardquomdasha new goal for the war

After receiving these new orders MacArthurmoved his forces northward The UN forces cap-tured Pyongyang the North Korean capital onOctober 19 and then moved north toward theYalu River part of North Korearsquos border withChina Total victory seemed just days away

As the UN forces advanced the United Statesreceived a warning from the Chinese If theinvasion of North Korea continued Chinawould send in its army to support the NorthKoreans Believing the Chinese warning was abluff President Truman allowed MacArthur tocontinue moving north

The Chinese were not bluffing however Bylate October thousands of Chinese troops beganmassing along the border and some crossed theYalu River southward into North Korea OnNovember 26 huge numbers of Chinese troopslaunched an attack on United Nations forcesBadly outnumbered the UN forces retreatedsouth back across the 38th parallel Withinweeks the Communists had recaptured Seoul

American Leadership DividedBy January 1951 United Nations forces man-

Truman and MacArthur DisagreeAs the stalemate dragged on President Tru-

man began to consider negotiating an end to thefighting General MacArthur however arguedthat the UN forces should now attack Chinaeither by invading the country or by bombingChinese troops stationed in North Korea Tru-man opposed MacArthurrsquos plan fearing thatsuch actions would lead to a larger war withChina or escalate into another world war

In a letter to a member of Congress Mac-Arthur complained that he was being kept fromdoing his job ldquoWe must winrdquo he wrote ldquoThereis no substitute for victoryrdquo

On April 11 1951 President Truman relievedGeneral MacArthur of his command in Korea ldquoIcould do nothing else and still be president of theUnited Statesrdquo Truman concluded He wrote

ldquoIf I allowed him to defy the civil authoritiesin this manner I myself would be violating myoath to uphold and defend the Constitutionrdquo

MacArthurrsquos firing created a storm of protestin the United States The general was extremelypopular and polls showed that a majority ofAmericans supported him against the presidentMoreover MacArthur did not go quietly After receiving a herorsquos welcome on his return to theUnited States he delivered a farewell speech toCongress ldquoOld soldiers never dierdquo he saidldquothey just fade awayrdquo

Ending the ConflictThe two sides in the

Korean War begannegotiations in July1951 The talks lastedfor two years before acease-fire agreementwas signed on July 271953 during the presi-dency of Dwight Eisenhower This agreementending the war created a demilitarized zonemdasharegion where military forces could not entermdashbetween North and South Korea The zoneextended roughly a mile and a half on eitherside of the 38th parallel

The Korean War ended with neither sideachieving victory and almost no change in terri-tory Losses had been great More than 54000Americans died in the war and another 103000were wounded Nearly two million Koreans andChinese lost their lives and large portions ofNorth and South Korea were devastated

Americarsquos involvement in the Korean War senta clear message to the Soviet Union The UnitedStates was committed to fighting Communistexpansion with money arms and even lives Atthe same time the inability of the United States towin a clear victory contributed to uncertainty athome about the nationrsquos foreign policy

807CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

This Red Scare dominated the nationrsquos politicsfor years and led to a massive hunt to uncoverCommunists In this climate of fear few Ameri-cans were safe from accusations of disloyaltymdashnot even the president

Republican critics began accusing PresidentTruman of being too easy on Communists In1947 Truman responded by ordering an investi-gation into the loyalty of all federal employeesMillions of government workers had to undergosecurity checks and thousands were investi-gated by the FBI Although the investigationsfound little evidence of espionage many federalemployees lost their jobs

Loyalty Oaths and InvestigationsMany state and local governments colleges

and businesses began similar campaigns touncover communist subversion Some organiza-tions required individuals to sign oaths swearingtheir loyalty to the United States Those whorefused risked losing their jobs

In 1950 Congress passed the McCarran Actwhich required all Communist organizations toregister with the government and to providelists of members President Truman vetoed theact ldquoIn a free country we punish men for crimesthey commitrdquo he said ldquobut never for the opin-ions they holdrdquo Congress overrode his veto

In 1947 a congressional committee the HouseUn-American Activities Committee (HUAC)began investigating communist subversion inthe nation In widely publicized hearings thecommittee questioned people about their knowl-edge of Communists or Communist sympathiz-ers Individuals came under suspicion because ofthe beliefs of their friends or coworkersmdashguiltby association The committeersquos activities fueledan anti-Communist hysteria in the nation

HUAC launched a sensational investigationof the Hollywood film industry rumored to befull of Communists A number of those whowere summoned refused to testify and severalscreenwriters and directorsmdashthe ldquoHollywoodTenrdquomdashwent to jail for refusing to answer ques-tions about their political beliefs or those of theircolleagues Reacting to public and governmentpressure film companies created blacklistsmdash

Senator Joseph McCarthyin his crusade againstcommunism

In 1964 Smith was oneof the presidential nomi-nees at the RepublicanNational Conventionmaking her the firstwoman to have her nameplaced in nomination by amajor political party

The most dramatic spy case to come beforeHUAC involved the atomic bomb Julius andEthel Rosenberg a New York couple who weremembers of the Communist Party were accusedof plotting to pass secret information about theatomic bomb to the Soviet Union Brought totrial in 1951 the Rosenbergs were convicted andsentenced to death The judge in the casedeclared their crime ldquoworse than murderrdquo

Groups around the world protested the sen-tence as a gross injustice but higher courtsupheld the death sentence decision Executed in1953 the Rosenbergs maintained their inno-cence to the end and claimed that they were per-secuted because of their political beliefs

Explaining What did the McCarranAct require

McCarthyismFrom 1950 to 1954 the hunt for Communists

in America was dominated by Senator JosephMcCarthy of Wisconsin During those yearsMcCarthy publicly attacked many peopleallegedmdashdeclared without proofmdashto be Com-

munists His unfounded accusations destroyedthe careers of many innocent Americans andheightened the atmosphere of anti-Communisthysteria in the country A new word was coinedMcCarthyism which came to mean the use ofunproved accusations against political oppo-nents

Joseph McCarthy rose to national attentionalmost overnight In a speech in Wheeling WestVirginia in February 1950 he announced thatAmerica had been betrayed by the ldquotraitorousactionsrdquo of certain individuals Raising a sheetof paper he claimed to have in his hand a list of205 State Department employees who weremembers of the Communist Party Millions ofAmericans believed McCarthyrsquos charges

During the next four years McCarthy contin-ued to accuse government officials and others ofbeing Communists His congressional subcom-mittee attacked and bullied the people it calledto testify Many federal employees resigned orwere dismissed as a result of McCarthyrsquos inves-tigations

Even the most powerful government officialshesitated to oppose him McCarthy often targetedDemocrats He and his Republican colleagues in

Congress saw anticommunism as an importantissue to use against the Democratic Party SomeRepublican candidates for Congress includingRichard Nixon successfully smeared their oppo-nents with charges of being soft on communismSuch tactics worked because so many Americansfeared the threat of communism

McCarthyrsquos DownfallIn 1954 McCarthy launched an investigation

of the United States Army He made alarmingclaims that Communists had infiltrated the mili-tary In a series of televised hearings watched bymillions of Americans McCarthy hurled wildaccusations at highly respected army officials

The televised Army-McCarthy Hearingsproved the turning point in the McCarthy inves-tigations For weeks Americans witnessedMcCarthyrsquos sneering and cruel attacks Towardthe end of the hearings Joseph Welch an attor-ney for the army said to McCarthy

ldquoUntil this moment Senator I think I neverreally gauged your cruelty or your recklessness Have you left no sense of decencyrdquo

Many Americans now came to viewMcCarthy as a cruel bully who had little basisfor his accusations Congress also turned againstMcCarthy In December 1954 the Senate votedto censure or formally criticize him for ldquocon-duct unbecoming a senatorrdquo Censure and the

791CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

Containing the SovietsSeeking ways to counter Soviet expansion

President Truman drew from the ideas of GeorgeF Kennan an American diplomat and an experton Soviet history and culture Kennan argued thatthe United States and the Soviet Union could notcooperate and that the United States must takeforceful steps to stop Soviet expansion His ideasled to the policy of containment The UnitedStates would try to ldquocontainrdquo Soviet expansionthrough limited military means and nonmilitarymeans in areas of the world that were of strategicimportance to the United States Kennan definedthese areas narrowlymdashmostly Western Europeand Japan But other US officials graduallyexpanded their view of what was of strategicimportance to the country and its future

The Truman DoctrineThe policy of containment soon went into

effect Speaking to Congress in March 1947 thepresident proposed a policy that became knownas the Truman Doctrine a commitment to helpnations threatened by communism and Sovietexpansion

ldquoI believe that it must be the policy of theUnited States to support free peoples who areresisting attempted subjugation [conquest] byarmed minorities or by outside pressuresrdquo

Congress voted to give military and economicassistance to Greece and Turkey to hold back theSoviet threat

The Marshall PlanAt the end of World War II much of Europe

lay in ruins Bombing had destroyed countlesshouses factories bridges and roads Many peo-ple lacked homes and jobs and they often didnot have enough food Their war-ravaged soci-eties provided fertile ground for communismwith its promises of housing and employmentfor all

George Marshall the US secretary of statesaw Western Europe as strategically importantto the United States He believed that the bestway to keep the countries of Western Europefree of communism would be to help restore

their economies In June 1947 Marshall pro-posed a plan to provide massive economic aid toEurope At first his plan met some resistance inCongress After Soviet-supported Communiststook over the government of Czechoslovakiain February 1948 however this resistance disappeared

Congress approved the Marshall Plan a pro-gram of economic aid for Europe that became avital part of the policy of containment Between1948 and 1951 the Marshall Plan contributednearly $13 billion to the rebuilding of the coun-tries of Western Europe As Marshall had pre-dicted no Western government in the region fellto a communist revolution

Explaining How was the MarshallPlan supposed to check communist expansion

Crisis in BerlinThe Allied leaders at Yalta had divided Ger-

many into four occupation zones The SovietUnion controlled the eastern part of the countrywhile the United States Britain and Francedivided the western part The German capital of Berlin located deep within Soviet-controlled East Germany was also dividedamong the four nations

President Truman believed that a reunitedGermany was essential to the future of EuropeStalin on the other hand feared that a reunitedGermany would once again pose a threat to theSoviet Union He sought to maintain Sovietinfluence in a divided Germany Tensions overthe German issue led to a serious crisis in 1948

The Berlin BlockadeOn June 7 1948 the United States Britain

and France announced that they were unitingtheir zones to form a new West German repub-lic Each nationrsquos section of Berlin would beincluded in this republic as well even though the city lay within Soviet-held East Germany

The Berlin blockade was Stalinrsquos answer to theWestrsquos plans for West Germany On June 24 1948Soviet troops rushed into position around theedge of West Berlin Almost overnight they cre-ated a blockade stopping traffic on all highway

Two Armed CampsThe crisis in Berlin confirmed that the United

States and the Soviet Union were locked in acold warmdasha war in which the two enemies didnot actually fight each other Instead each nationbegan building up its military forces and armsto intimidate the other European nations beganto take sides in this mounting cold war

The United States and the countries of West-ern Europe agreed that the best way to containthe Soviets was through mutual defense In

Berlin AirliftIn June 1948 the Soviet Union halted all traffic by land

or water into or out of Western-controlled Berlin AlliedPowers began supplying the cityrsquos 25 million residents withthe necessities of lifemdashby air Night and day for more than10 months British and United States cargo planescarried food medicine clothing raw materialsand even coal to Berlin World opinion turnedagainst the Soviet Union and its tactics of starvinginnocent people to achieve its goals Berlin becamea symbol of Americarsquos fight against communism

The effortmdashsome 278000 flights delivering 2 million tons of suppliesmdashmelted the hatredbetween former American and German enemies InMay 1949 the Soviet Union finally lifted its blockade

A West Berlin taxi driver explained how the airlift boosted the morale

railroad and water routes through East Germany to West Berlin As a result WestBerlin and its two million citizens were cut off from vital supplies The Soviets hoped thisblockade would drive the West out of Berlin

The Berlin AirliftPresident Truman refused to give in to the

Soviets ldquoWe stay in Berlin periodrdquo he declaredbut he did not want to risk war by using militaryforce to end the blockade Instead he organizeda massive airlift to save the city American andBritish cargo planes began flying food fuel andother supplies into West Berlin

The Berlin airlift continued day and night formore than 10 months delivering tons of suppliesto West Berlin Realizing that the Western powersintended to stay in the city Stalin ended the Berlinblockade in May 1949 Despite the success of theairlift Berlin and Germany remained divided In October 1949 the division of Germany into two

April 1949 the United States Canada and 10Western European nations signed a pact estab-lishing the North Atlantic Treaty Organization(NATO) The agreement stated that ldquoan armedattack against one or more of [the membernations] shall be considered an attack againstallrdquo To defend against a possible Soviet inva-sion of Western Europe the NATO countriescreated a large military force

In response to NATO the Soviet Union cre-ated an alliance of its own with the Communistgovernments of Eastern Europe The allianceestablished in 1955 by mutual defense treatiesknown as the Warsaw Pact had a military forcethat the Soviet Union controlled The formationof NATO and the Warsaw Pact divided Europeinto two armed camps

The United States RearmsAfter World War II some of President Trumanrsquos

foreign policy advisers in the National SecurityCouncil (NSC) argued that America could not relyon other nations to contain the Soviets and resistthe spread of communism Unlike George Kennanand the supporters of the containment policy theNSC advisers believed the United States neededto take a more active stand against communismeverywheremdashnot just in strategic locations

In 1950 the NSC released a report known asNSC-68 which said that the United States mustactively

ldquofoster the seeds of destruction within theSoviet Unionrdquo

and fight communist movements wherever theyarose The United States committed itself tocombating communist expansion everywhere inthe world

nations in other parts of the world were under-going dramatic changes Many states broke freeof colonial rule and established independence

When soldiers returned home after World War II they came back to a nation facingthe difficult task of changing from wartime to peacetime Would the economy collapseagain and another depression sweep the country President Truman was optimisticldquoWe are having our little troubles now Just a blow-up after a little let-down from warrdquoPublic concern however forced the nationrsquos political leaders into a heated debate overthe best way to deal with Americarsquos economic problems

Economics

The Postwar EconomyAfter World War II the nation and its economy had to adjust to peacetime

life Industries had to shift from producing war materials to making consumergoods Defense workers had to be retrained to work in consumer industriesand returning soldiers needed jobs

During the war government price controls had kept the cost of consumergoods such as food and clothing quite stable When the government removedthese controls prices began to surge This rise in prices or inflation also resultedfrom a huge increase in consumer demand and spending During the war years

CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

Americans had saved their money because manyconsumer goods were unavailable or rationedNow they were eager to spend this money onnew consumer products and services

Workers Seek Higher WagesAs a result of inflation consumer prices rose at

a much faster rate than wages During the warworkers had accepted government controls onwages and agreed not to strike Now they wouldno longer be put off When employers refused toraise wages labor unions called for strikes In1945 and 1946 millions of steelworkers railroadworkers and others walked off their jobsdemanding higher wages and better conditions

Labor unrest and strikes disrupted the nationrsquoseconomy When miners went on strike in 1946many Americans feared that dwindling coal sup-plies would cause the economy to grind to a haltAt about the same time a strike by railroadworkers caused a total shutdown of the nationrsquosrailroads which were vital to the economy

Truman Takes ActionAlarmed by the labor unrest President Tru-

man pressured the striking miners and railroadworkers to go back to their jobs In May 1946 he threatened to draft them into the army if theydid not return to work The president insisted hehad the right to take such steps to keep vitalindustries operating

President Truman finally forced striking min-ers back on the job by having the governmenttake over the mines At the same time howeverhe persuaded the mine owners to grant many ofthe workersrsquo demands Truman also pressuredrailroad workers to return to work

Describing What happened to theprice of consumer goods when demand grew after the war

Truman Faces the RepublicansIn September 1945 President Truman a

Democrat presented Congress with a plan ofdomestic reforms aimed at solving some of thenationrsquos economic problems Truman latercalled this program the Fair Deal

Truman proposed to raise the minimum wageexpand Social Security benefits increase federalspending to create jobs build new public hous-ing and create a system of national health insur-ance However because of opposition by acoalition of Republicans and Southern Demo-crats these measures failed to pass in Congress

Republicans Control CongressMany Americans blamed Truman and the

Democratic Party for the nationrsquos economicproblems In the congressional elections of 1946the slogan ldquoHad Enoughrdquo helped Republicanswin control of both houses of Congress

The new Republican Congress moved quicklyto create its own plans for the nation Havingrejected Trumanrsquos program for reform theRepublicans now set up proposals to enact aprogram that would limit government spend-ing control labor unions reduce governmentregulation of the economy and reverse policiesadopted in the 1930s under FDRrsquos New Deal

For many Republicans in Congress the mostimportant problem facing the nation was laborunrest and the growing power of labor unionsConservative Republicans favored big business

and wanted to limit the power of unions In the spring of 1947 Congress introduced theTaft-Hartley bill This bill limited the actionsworkers could take against their employers Itoutlawed the closed shop a workplace thathires only union members It also allowed thegovernment to temporarily stop any strike thatendangered public health or safety This provi-sion aimed to prevent any future strikes likethose of the miners and the railroad workers theyear before Union members and their leaderssharply criticized the Taft-Hartley Act calling ita ldquoslave labor billrdquo Although President Trumanopposed recent strikes he also knew that theDemocrats needed the support of labor Trumanvetoed the act but the Republican-controlledCongress overrode his veto

Government ReorganizationOne issue on which Truman and Congress

agreed was the need to improve the adminis-tration of the federal government which had

greatly expanded since the New Deal In 1947Truman appointed a commission headed byformer President Herbert Hoover to studyways of improving the efficiency of govern-ment Out of the Hoover Commissionrsquos workcame plans to create new government depart-ments and agencies

In 1947 Congress passed the National Secu-rity Act It unified the army navy marines andair force under the Department of Defense Asecretary of defense headed the new depart-ment The act also set up a permanent JointChiefs of Staff made up of the heads of each ofthe armed forces to coordinate military policyA National Security Council operating out ofthe White House would advise the presidenton foreign and military matters

The National Security Act also set up anotherinstitution the Central Intelligence Agency(CIA) The CIA aids American foreign policy by collecting information about what is going onin other countries evaluating it and passing it

Many Americans feared that the CIA wouldbe used to spy on American citizens Trumanhowever promised that the new agency wouldoperate only in foreign lands and would notbring ldquopolice state methodsrdquo into Americansociety The CIA was so successful that in 1949Congress gave that agency the right to receiveexchange and spend money without givingaccount to Congress

The Election of 1948As the 1948 presidential election approached

Truman appeared to be the underdog Continu-ing economic problems made the presidentunpopular with many Americans and his lackof success in winning passage of domesticreforms made Trumanrsquos administration lookweak and ineffective

Divisions within the Democratic Party alsoincreased the chances of an easy Republican vic-tory At the partyrsquos national convention a groupof Southern Democrats walked out to protestTrumanrsquos support for civil rights legislation TheSouthern Democrats formed the Statesrsquo RightsDemocratic Party or Dixiecrats and nominatedGovernor Strom Thurmond of South Carolinafor president At the same time some liberalmembers of the Democratic Party left to formthe Progressive Party with Henry Wallace astheir nominee for president Wallace opposedTrumanrsquos foreign policy and called for closer tiesbetween the United States and the Soviet Union

Dewey Leads PollsWith the Democrats badly divided it looked

as though Governor Thomas Dewey of NewYork the Republican nominee would surelywin the election Opinion polls showed Deweywith a huge lead One pollster remarked ldquoMrDewey is still so clearly ahead that we might justas well get ready to listen to his inauguralrdquo

Truman campaigned aggressively Travelingmore than 30000 miles (48000 km) by train on a ldquowhistle-stoprdquo tour of the country he gavesome 250 speeches along the way In town aftertown he sharply attacked what he called ldquothat do-nothing good-for-nothing worst Congressrdquofor rejecting his Fair Deal legislation

Truman Stages an UpsetOn Election Day experts still expected Dewey

to win Expectations for a Republican victorywere so great that on the evening of the elec-tionmdashbefore many votes were countedmdashtheChicago Daily Tribune newspaper issued a specialedition announcing ldquoDewey Defeats Trumanrdquo

The nation was in for a great surprise Whenall the ballots were counted Truman had edgedout Dewey by more than two million votes in anarrow upset victory Democrats also regainedcontrol of both the House of Representativesand the Senate in the election

Analyzing Why was the outcome ofthe 1948 presidential election a surprise

A Fair Deal for AmericansTruman took the election results as a sign that

Americans wanted reform He quickly reintro-duced the Fair Deal legislation he had presented to Congress in 1945 Some of thesereform measures passed but his plan lackedbroad support and Congress defeated most ofthe measures Congress did pass laws to raisethe minimum wage expand Social Security ben-efits for senior citizens and provide funds forhousing for low-income families

CitizenshipA Stand on Civil Rights

In a message to Congress in 1948 PresidentTruman declared

ldquoWe shall not however finally achieve theideals for which this nation was founded so longas any American suffers discrimination as aresult of his race or religion or color or theland of origin of his forefathersrdquo

country located on the Korean Peninsula west of Japan In 1945 Korea was acolony of Japan At the end of World War II Japan was stripped of its territorialpossessions The United States and the Soviet Union both sent troops into Koreaand agreed to occupy it temporarily They divided the peninsula in half alongthe 38th parallel of latitude with the Soviets controlling North Korea and theAmericans controlling South Korea

803CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

The Soviet Union and the United States couldnot agree on how to unify Korea When thesetwo nations removed their forces in 1949 Korearemained divided Tensions between the twoKoreas were high

On June 24 1950 President Truman flew to his home in Independence Missouri for a briefvacation While sitting on his porch on a hotsummer night the president received a tele-phone call from Secretary of State Dean AchesonldquoMr Presidentrdquo Acheson said in a grim tone ldquoIhave very serious news The North Koreans haveinvaded South Koreardquo Truman knew this meantonly one thing the United States soon would beinvolved in military action in Asia

The Invasion of South KoreaAfter the American troops pulled out of South

Korea North Korea decided to unify the countryby force On June 25 1950 the armies of NorthKorea crossed the 38th parallel into South KoreaPoorly armed the South Koreans were no matchfor the North Within days the Communistforces had gained control over much of SouthKorea including Seoul the capital city

President Truman reacted quickly to theKorean invasion which he believed was sup-ported by the Soviet Union Without askingCongress to actually declare war Trumanordered the use of limited American air and seaforces in Korea He called this ldquopolice actionrdquonecessary to carry out Americarsquos policy of con-tainment Truman said

ldquoKorea is the Greece of the Far East If we aretough enough now if we stand up to them likewe did in Greece three years ago they wonrsquottake any next stepsrdquo

United Nations RespondsAt the same time President Truman asked the

UN to send forces to defend the South KoreansThe United Nations condemned the invasion ofSouth Korea and agreed to send a special forceto the region under the United Statesrsquos directionPresident Truman quickly appointed GeneralDouglas MacArthur a hero of World War II tocommand the UN forces

On June 30 just days after the North Koreaninvasion General MacArthur led Americantroops into Korea to stop the Communistadvance By the end of 1950 other nations weresupplying troops or other assistance to theAmerican-led war effort Even so Americansmade up the majority of troops throughout theKorean War

The United Nations had a clear but difficultgoalmdashpush the North Koreans back across the38th parallel When China intervened in the con-flict this goal changed causing Truman andMacArthur to clash over military strategy

Early Phases of the WarBy September 1950 North Korean forces had

pushed all the way to the southern tip of theKorean Peninsula Only a small area in thesoutheast around the port city of Pusan was stillheld by the South Korean army

After joining the South Koreans GeneralMacArthur designed a bold counterattackagainst North Korea In September UnitedNations forces made a daring landing midwayon the Korean Peninsula near the port ofInchon They took that strategic city and movedon to recapture Seoul

Meanwhile American and UN troops beganpushing north from Pusan By October 1 theNorth Koreans caught between UN forcesadvancing from both Seoul and Pusan wereforced to retreat north across the 38th parallelSouth Korea now came under the control of theUnited Nations forces

Taking the OffensiveEncouraged by this success General Mac-

Arthur urged President Truman to order aninvasion of North Korea He assured Trumanthat neither China nor the Soviet Union wouldenter the war to help North Korea and he prom-ised to have troops ldquohome by Christmasrdquo Tru-man sought and received approval from theUnited Nations to cross the 38th parallel invadethe North and create ldquoa unified independentand democratic Koreardquomdasha new goal for the war

After receiving these new orders MacArthurmoved his forces northward The UN forces cap-tured Pyongyang the North Korean capital onOctober 19 and then moved north toward theYalu River part of North Korearsquos border withChina Total victory seemed just days away

As the UN forces advanced the United Statesreceived a warning from the Chinese If theinvasion of North Korea continued Chinawould send in its army to support the NorthKoreans Believing the Chinese warning was abluff President Truman allowed MacArthur tocontinue moving north

The Chinese were not bluffing however Bylate October thousands of Chinese troops beganmassing along the border and some crossed theYalu River southward into North Korea OnNovember 26 huge numbers of Chinese troopslaunched an attack on United Nations forcesBadly outnumbered the UN forces retreatedsouth back across the 38th parallel Withinweeks the Communists had recaptured Seoul

American Leadership DividedBy January 1951 United Nations forces man-

Truman and MacArthur DisagreeAs the stalemate dragged on President Tru-

man began to consider negotiating an end to thefighting General MacArthur however arguedthat the UN forces should now attack Chinaeither by invading the country or by bombingChinese troops stationed in North Korea Tru-man opposed MacArthurrsquos plan fearing thatsuch actions would lead to a larger war withChina or escalate into another world war

In a letter to a member of Congress Mac-Arthur complained that he was being kept fromdoing his job ldquoWe must winrdquo he wrote ldquoThereis no substitute for victoryrdquo

On April 11 1951 President Truman relievedGeneral MacArthur of his command in Korea ldquoIcould do nothing else and still be president of theUnited Statesrdquo Truman concluded He wrote

ldquoIf I allowed him to defy the civil authoritiesin this manner I myself would be violating myoath to uphold and defend the Constitutionrdquo

MacArthurrsquos firing created a storm of protestin the United States The general was extremelypopular and polls showed that a majority ofAmericans supported him against the presidentMoreover MacArthur did not go quietly After receiving a herorsquos welcome on his return to theUnited States he delivered a farewell speech toCongress ldquoOld soldiers never dierdquo he saidldquothey just fade awayrdquo

Ending the ConflictThe two sides in the

Korean War begannegotiations in July1951 The talks lastedfor two years before acease-fire agreementwas signed on July 271953 during the presi-dency of Dwight Eisenhower This agreementending the war created a demilitarized zonemdasharegion where military forces could not entermdashbetween North and South Korea The zoneextended roughly a mile and a half on eitherside of the 38th parallel

The Korean War ended with neither sideachieving victory and almost no change in terri-tory Losses had been great More than 54000Americans died in the war and another 103000were wounded Nearly two million Koreans andChinese lost their lives and large portions ofNorth and South Korea were devastated

Americarsquos involvement in the Korean War senta clear message to the Soviet Union The UnitedStates was committed to fighting Communistexpansion with money arms and even lives Atthe same time the inability of the United States towin a clear victory contributed to uncertainty athome about the nationrsquos foreign policy

This Red Scare dominated the nationrsquos politicsfor years and led to a massive hunt to uncoverCommunists In this climate of fear few Ameri-cans were safe from accusations of disloyaltymdashnot even the president

Republican critics began accusing PresidentTruman of being too easy on Communists In1947 Truman responded by ordering an investi-gation into the loyalty of all federal employeesMillions of government workers had to undergosecurity checks and thousands were investi-gated by the FBI Although the investigationsfound little evidence of espionage many federalemployees lost their jobs

Loyalty Oaths and InvestigationsMany state and local governments colleges

and businesses began similar campaigns touncover communist subversion Some organiza-tions required individuals to sign oaths swearingtheir loyalty to the United States Those whorefused risked losing their jobs

In 1950 Congress passed the McCarran Actwhich required all Communist organizations toregister with the government and to providelists of members President Truman vetoed theact ldquoIn a free country we punish men for crimesthey commitrdquo he said ldquobut never for the opin-ions they holdrdquo Congress overrode his veto

In 1947 a congressional committee the HouseUn-American Activities Committee (HUAC)began investigating communist subversion inthe nation In widely publicized hearings thecommittee questioned people about their knowl-edge of Communists or Communist sympathiz-ers Individuals came under suspicion because ofthe beliefs of their friends or coworkersmdashguiltby association The committeersquos activities fueledan anti-Communist hysteria in the nation

HUAC launched a sensational investigationof the Hollywood film industry rumored to befull of Communists A number of those whowere summoned refused to testify and severalscreenwriters and directorsmdashthe ldquoHollywoodTenrdquomdashwent to jail for refusing to answer ques-tions about their political beliefs or those of theircolleagues Reacting to public and governmentpressure film companies created blacklistsmdash

lists of individuals whose loyalty was suspi-ciousmdashthat barred people from working in Hollywoodrsquos film industry

American Spies RevealedIn 1948 Whittaker Chambers a magazine

editor volunteered to testify before HUACAfter admitting that he had spied for the SovietUnion in the 1930s Chambers accused AlgerHiss a former State Department official of giv-ing him secret government documents in 1937and 1938 to pass on to the Soviets

Chambers produced secret State Departmentpapers he claimed were written by Hiss andmicrofilm of other secret documents Chambersswore that he had received the microfilm (whichwas hidden in a pumpkin) from Hiss Investiga-tors could not prosecute Hiss for spying becausetoo much time had passed since the events had occurred However he was found guilty ofperjury or lying and sent to prison

First elected to theHouse in 1940 Smithmade many contributionsduring her four termsDuring World War II sheworked to improve theposition of women in themilitary She played amajor role in the passage

of a new law theWomenrsquos Armed ServicesIntegration Act (1948)that allowed women toserve as permanent regu-lar members of thenationrsquos military forces

Smith also served fourterms in the SenateNever afraid to speak outon the issues she wasone of the first to con-demn the tactics used by

Senator Joseph McCarthyin his crusade againstcommunism

In 1964 Smith was oneof the presidential nomi-nees at the RepublicanNational Conventionmaking her the firstwoman to have her nameplaced in nomination by amajor political party

The most dramatic spy case to come beforeHUAC involved the atomic bomb Julius andEthel Rosenberg a New York couple who weremembers of the Communist Party were accusedof plotting to pass secret information about theatomic bomb to the Soviet Union Brought totrial in 1951 the Rosenbergs were convicted andsentenced to death The judge in the casedeclared their crime ldquoworse than murderrdquo

Groups around the world protested the sen-tence as a gross injustice but higher courtsupheld the death sentence decision Executed in1953 the Rosenbergs maintained their inno-cence to the end and claimed that they were per-secuted because of their political beliefs

Explaining What did the McCarranAct require

McCarthyismFrom 1950 to 1954 the hunt for Communists

in America was dominated by Senator JosephMcCarthy of Wisconsin During those yearsMcCarthy publicly attacked many peopleallegedmdashdeclared without proofmdashto be Com-

munists His unfounded accusations destroyedthe careers of many innocent Americans andheightened the atmosphere of anti-Communisthysteria in the country A new word was coinedMcCarthyism which came to mean the use ofunproved accusations against political oppo-nents

Joseph McCarthy rose to national attentionalmost overnight In a speech in Wheeling WestVirginia in February 1950 he announced thatAmerica had been betrayed by the ldquotraitorousactionsrdquo of certain individuals Raising a sheetof paper he claimed to have in his hand a list of205 State Department employees who weremembers of the Communist Party Millions ofAmericans believed McCarthyrsquos charges

During the next four years McCarthy contin-ued to accuse government officials and others ofbeing Communists His congressional subcom-mittee attacked and bullied the people it calledto testify Many federal employees resigned orwere dismissed as a result of McCarthyrsquos inves-tigations

Even the most powerful government officialshesitated to oppose him McCarthy often targetedDemocrats He and his Republican colleagues in

Congress saw anticommunism as an importantissue to use against the Democratic Party SomeRepublican candidates for Congress includingRichard Nixon successfully smeared their oppo-nents with charges of being soft on communismSuch tactics worked because so many Americansfeared the threat of communism

McCarthyrsquos DownfallIn 1954 McCarthy launched an investigation

of the United States Army He made alarmingclaims that Communists had infiltrated the mili-tary In a series of televised hearings watched bymillions of Americans McCarthy hurled wildaccusations at highly respected army officials

The televised Army-McCarthy Hearingsproved the turning point in the McCarthy inves-tigations For weeks Americans witnessedMcCarthyrsquos sneering and cruel attacks Towardthe end of the hearings Joseph Welch an attor-ney for the army said to McCarthy

ldquoUntil this moment Senator I think I neverreally gauged your cruelty or your recklessness Have you left no sense of decencyrdquo

Many Americans now came to viewMcCarthy as a cruel bully who had little basisfor his accusations Congress also turned againstMcCarthy In December 1954 the Senate votedto censure or formally criticize him for ldquocon-duct unbecoming a senatorrdquo Censure and the

nations in other parts of the world were under-going dramatic changes Many states broke freeof colonial rule and established independence

The Philippines gained independence fromthe United States in 1946 For years afterwardFilipinos struggled with terrible poverty gov-ernment corruption and civil war In the late1940s Asian countries such as India Pakistanand Burma broke away from the British Empireto form new nations During the 1950s and theearly 1960s more than 25 African nations gainedindependence from European colonial powersThe path to independence in Africa was oftenbloody Once free the new nations faced theenormous task of building modern societies

In the Middle East Jews and Arabs bothclaimed the region of Palestine an area the

British had controlled In 1947 the United Nationsproposed dividing Palestine into independentJewish and Arab states with Jerusalem as aninternational city The Jews accepted the plan butthe Arab states did not After declaring its inde-pendence the new Jewish state of Israel wasattacked by Arab armies in the first of six majorwars between the Arabs and Israel

Communism in ChinaPerhaps the most threatening change of the

postwar period occurred in China the largestcountry in Asia In 1949 a long civil war endedwith the victory of Chinese Communist forcesled by Mao Zedong (MAU ZUHbullDUNG) overthe armies commanded by Chiang Kai-shek(JEEbullAHNG KYbullSHEHK) the head of the Chi-nese government Mao Zedong formed a newCommunist state the Peoplersquos Republic ofChina while Chiang Kai-shek retreated with hisforces to the island of Taiwan off the southeast-ern coast of China The United States recognizedthe government in Taiwan as the legitimate gov-ernment of all China

When soldiers returned home after World War II they came back to a nation facingthe difficult task of changing from wartime to peacetime Would the economy collapseagain and another depression sweep the country President Truman was optimisticldquoWe are having our little troubles now Just a blow-up after a little let-down from warrdquoPublic concern however forced the nationrsquos political leaders into a heated debate overthe best way to deal with Americarsquos economic problems

Economics

The Postwar EconomyAfter World War II the nation and its economy had to adjust to peacetime

life Industries had to shift from producing war materials to making consumergoods Defense workers had to be retrained to work in consumer industriesand returning soldiers needed jobs

During the war government price controls had kept the cost of consumergoods such as food and clothing quite stable When the government removedthese controls prices began to surge This rise in prices or inflation also resultedfrom a huge increase in consumer demand and spending During the war years

CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

Americans had saved their money because manyconsumer goods were unavailable or rationedNow they were eager to spend this money onnew consumer products and services

Workers Seek Higher WagesAs a result of inflation consumer prices rose at

a much faster rate than wages During the warworkers had accepted government controls onwages and agreed not to strike Now they wouldno longer be put off When employers refused toraise wages labor unions called for strikes In1945 and 1946 millions of steelworkers railroadworkers and others walked off their jobsdemanding higher wages and better conditions

Labor unrest and strikes disrupted the nationrsquoseconomy When miners went on strike in 1946many Americans feared that dwindling coal sup-plies would cause the economy to grind to a haltAt about the same time a strike by railroadworkers caused a total shutdown of the nationrsquosrailroads which were vital to the economy

Truman Takes ActionAlarmed by the labor unrest President Tru-

man pressured the striking miners and railroadworkers to go back to their jobs In May 1946 he threatened to draft them into the army if theydid not return to work The president insisted hehad the right to take such steps to keep vitalindustries operating

President Truman finally forced striking min-ers back on the job by having the governmenttake over the mines At the same time howeverhe persuaded the mine owners to grant many ofthe workersrsquo demands Truman also pressuredrailroad workers to return to work

Describing What happened to theprice of consumer goods when demand grew after the war

Truman Faces the RepublicansIn September 1945 President Truman a

Democrat presented Congress with a plan ofdomestic reforms aimed at solving some of thenationrsquos economic problems Truman latercalled this program the Fair Deal

Truman proposed to raise the minimum wageexpand Social Security benefits increase federalspending to create jobs build new public hous-ing and create a system of national health insur-ance However because of opposition by acoalition of Republicans and Southern Demo-crats these measures failed to pass in Congress

Republicans Control CongressMany Americans blamed Truman and the

Democratic Party for the nationrsquos economicproblems In the congressional elections of 1946the slogan ldquoHad Enoughrdquo helped Republicanswin control of both houses of Congress

The new Republican Congress moved quicklyto create its own plans for the nation Havingrejected Trumanrsquos program for reform theRepublicans now set up proposals to enact aprogram that would limit government spend-ing control labor unions reduce governmentregulation of the economy and reverse policiesadopted in the 1930s under FDRrsquos New Deal

For many Republicans in Congress the mostimportant problem facing the nation was laborunrest and the growing power of labor unionsConservative Republicans favored big business

and wanted to limit the power of unions In the spring of 1947 Congress introduced theTaft-Hartley bill This bill limited the actionsworkers could take against their employers Itoutlawed the closed shop a workplace thathires only union members It also allowed thegovernment to temporarily stop any strike thatendangered public health or safety This provi-sion aimed to prevent any future strikes likethose of the miners and the railroad workers theyear before Union members and their leaderssharply criticized the Taft-Hartley Act calling ita ldquoslave labor billrdquo Although President Trumanopposed recent strikes he also knew that theDemocrats needed the support of labor Trumanvetoed the act but the Republican-controlledCongress overrode his veto

Government ReorganizationOne issue on which Truman and Congress

agreed was the need to improve the adminis-tration of the federal government which had

greatly expanded since the New Deal In 1947Truman appointed a commission headed byformer President Herbert Hoover to studyways of improving the efficiency of govern-ment Out of the Hoover Commissionrsquos workcame plans to create new government depart-ments and agencies

In 1947 Congress passed the National Secu-rity Act It unified the army navy marines andair force under the Department of Defense Asecretary of defense headed the new depart-ment The act also set up a permanent JointChiefs of Staff made up of the heads of each ofthe armed forces to coordinate military policyA National Security Council operating out ofthe White House would advise the presidenton foreign and military matters

The National Security Act also set up anotherinstitution the Central Intelligence Agency(CIA) The CIA aids American foreign policy by collecting information about what is going onin other countries evaluating it and passing it

Many Americans feared that the CIA wouldbe used to spy on American citizens Trumanhowever promised that the new agency wouldoperate only in foreign lands and would notbring ldquopolice state methodsrdquo into Americansociety The CIA was so successful that in 1949Congress gave that agency the right to receiveexchange and spend money without givingaccount to Congress

The Election of 1948As the 1948 presidential election approached

Truman appeared to be the underdog Continu-ing economic problems made the presidentunpopular with many Americans and his lackof success in winning passage of domesticreforms made Trumanrsquos administration lookweak and ineffective

Divisions within the Democratic Party alsoincreased the chances of an easy Republican vic-tory At the partyrsquos national convention a groupof Southern Democrats walked out to protestTrumanrsquos support for civil rights legislation TheSouthern Democrats formed the Statesrsquo RightsDemocratic Party or Dixiecrats and nominatedGovernor Strom Thurmond of South Carolinafor president At the same time some liberalmembers of the Democratic Party left to formthe Progressive Party with Henry Wallace astheir nominee for president Wallace opposedTrumanrsquos foreign policy and called for closer tiesbetween the United States and the Soviet Union

Dewey Leads PollsWith the Democrats badly divided it looked

as though Governor Thomas Dewey of NewYork the Republican nominee would surelywin the election Opinion polls showed Deweywith a huge lead One pollster remarked ldquoMrDewey is still so clearly ahead that we might justas well get ready to listen to his inauguralrdquo

Truman campaigned aggressively Travelingmore than 30000 miles (48000 km) by train on a ldquowhistle-stoprdquo tour of the country he gavesome 250 speeches along the way In town aftertown he sharply attacked what he called ldquothat do-nothing good-for-nothing worst Congressrdquofor rejecting his Fair Deal legislation

Truman Stages an UpsetOn Election Day experts still expected Dewey

to win Expectations for a Republican victorywere so great that on the evening of the elec-tionmdashbefore many votes were countedmdashtheChicago Daily Tribune newspaper issued a specialedition announcing ldquoDewey Defeats Trumanrdquo

The nation was in for a great surprise Whenall the ballots were counted Truman had edgedout Dewey by more than two million votes in anarrow upset victory Democrats also regainedcontrol of both the House of Representativesand the Senate in the election

Analyzing Why was the outcome ofthe 1948 presidential election a surprise

A Fair Deal for AmericansTruman took the election results as a sign that

Americans wanted reform He quickly reintro-duced the Fair Deal legislation he had presented to Congress in 1945 Some of thesereform measures passed but his plan lackedbroad support and Congress defeated most ofthe measures Congress did pass laws to raisethe minimum wage expand Social Security ben-efits for senior citizens and provide funds forhousing for low-income families

CitizenshipA Stand on Civil Rights

In a message to Congress in 1948 PresidentTruman declared

ldquoWe shall not however finally achieve theideals for which this nation was founded so longas any American suffers discrimination as aresult of his race or religion or color or theland of origin of his forefathersrdquo

The Soviet Union and the United States couldnot agree on how to unify Korea When thesetwo nations removed their forces in 1949 Korearemained divided Tensions between the twoKoreas were high

On June 24 1950 President Truman flew to his home in Independence Missouri for a briefvacation While sitting on his porch on a hotsummer night the president received a tele-phone call from Secretary of State Dean AchesonldquoMr Presidentrdquo Acheson said in a grim tone ldquoIhave very serious news The North Koreans haveinvaded South Koreardquo Truman knew this meantonly one thing the United States soon would beinvolved in military action in Asia

The Invasion of South KoreaAfter the American troops pulled out of South

Korea North Korea decided to unify the countryby force On June 25 1950 the armies of NorthKorea crossed the 38th parallel into South KoreaPoorly armed the South Koreans were no matchfor the North Within days the Communistforces had gained control over much of SouthKorea including Seoul the capital city

President Truman reacted quickly to theKorean invasion which he believed was sup-ported by the Soviet Union Without askingCongress to actually declare war Trumanordered the use of limited American air and seaforces in Korea He called this ldquopolice actionrdquonecessary to carry out Americarsquos policy of con-tainment Truman said

ldquoKorea is the Greece of the Far East If we aretough enough now if we stand up to them likewe did in Greece three years ago they wonrsquottake any next stepsrdquo

United Nations RespondsAt the same time President Truman asked the

UN to send forces to defend the South KoreansThe United Nations condemned the invasion ofSouth Korea and agreed to send a special forceto the region under the United Statesrsquos directionPresident Truman quickly appointed GeneralDouglas MacArthur a hero of World War II tocommand the UN forces

On June 30 just days after the North Koreaninvasion General MacArthur led Americantroops into Korea to stop the Communistadvance By the end of 1950 other nations weresupplying troops or other assistance to theAmerican-led war effort Even so Americansmade up the majority of troops throughout theKorean War

The United Nations had a clear but difficultgoalmdashpush the North Koreans back across the38th parallel When China intervened in the con-flict this goal changed causing Truman andMacArthur to clash over military strategy

Early Phases of the WarBy September 1950 North Korean forces had

pushed all the way to the southern tip of theKorean Peninsula Only a small area in thesoutheast around the port city of Pusan was stillheld by the South Korean army

After joining the South Koreans GeneralMacArthur designed a bold counterattackagainst North Korea In September UnitedNations forces made a daring landing midwayon the Korean Peninsula near the port ofInchon They took that strategic city and movedon to recapture Seoul

Meanwhile American and UN troops beganpushing north from Pusan By October 1 theNorth Koreans caught between UN forcesadvancing from both Seoul and Pusan wereforced to retreat north across the 38th parallelSouth Korea now came under the control of theUnited Nations forces

Taking the OffensiveEncouraged by this success General Mac-

Arthur urged President Truman to order aninvasion of North Korea He assured Trumanthat neither China nor the Soviet Union wouldenter the war to help North Korea and he prom-ised to have troops ldquohome by Christmasrdquo Tru-man sought and received approval from theUnited Nations to cross the 38th parallel invadethe North and create ldquoa unified independentand democratic Koreardquomdasha new goal for the war

After receiving these new orders MacArthurmoved his forces northward The UN forces cap-tured Pyongyang the North Korean capital onOctober 19 and then moved north toward theYalu River part of North Korearsquos border withChina Total victory seemed just days away

As the UN forces advanced the United Statesreceived a warning from the Chinese If theinvasion of North Korea continued Chinawould send in its army to support the NorthKoreans Believing the Chinese warning was abluff President Truman allowed MacArthur tocontinue moving north

The Chinese were not bluffing however Bylate October thousands of Chinese troops beganmassing along the border and some crossed theYalu River southward into North Korea OnNovember 26 huge numbers of Chinese troopslaunched an attack on United Nations forcesBadly outnumbered the UN forces retreatedsouth back across the 38th parallel Withinweeks the Communists had recaptured Seoul

American Leadership DividedBy January 1951 United Nations forces man-

Truman and MacArthur DisagreeAs the stalemate dragged on President Tru-

man began to consider negotiating an end to thefighting General MacArthur however arguedthat the UN forces should now attack Chinaeither by invading the country or by bombingChinese troops stationed in North Korea Tru-man opposed MacArthurrsquos plan fearing thatsuch actions would lead to a larger war withChina or escalate into another world war

In a letter to a member of Congress Mac-Arthur complained that he was being kept fromdoing his job ldquoWe must winrdquo he wrote ldquoThereis no substitute for victoryrdquo

On April 11 1951 President Truman relievedGeneral MacArthur of his command in Korea ldquoIcould do nothing else and still be president of theUnited Statesrdquo Truman concluded He wrote

ldquoIf I allowed him to defy the civil authoritiesin this manner I myself would be violating myoath to uphold and defend the Constitutionrdquo

MacArthurrsquos firing created a storm of protestin the United States The general was extremelypopular and polls showed that a majority ofAmericans supported him against the presidentMoreover MacArthur did not go quietly After receiving a herorsquos welcome on his return to theUnited States he delivered a farewell speech toCongress ldquoOld soldiers never dierdquo he saidldquothey just fade awayrdquo

Ending the ConflictThe two sides in the

Korean War begannegotiations in July1951 The talks lastedfor two years before acease-fire agreementwas signed on July 271953 during the presi-dency of Dwight Eisenhower This agreementending the war created a demilitarized zonemdasharegion where military forces could not entermdashbetween North and South Korea The zoneextended roughly a mile and a half on eitherside of the 38th parallel

The Korean War ended with neither sideachieving victory and almost no change in terri-tory Losses had been great More than 54000Americans died in the war and another 103000were wounded Nearly two million Koreans andChinese lost their lives and large portions ofNorth and South Korea were devastated

Americarsquos involvement in the Korean War senta clear message to the Soviet Union The UnitedStates was committed to fighting Communistexpansion with money arms and even lives Atthe same time the inability of the United States towin a clear victory contributed to uncertainty athome about the nationrsquos foreign policy

807CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

This Red Scare dominated the nationrsquos politicsfor years and led to a massive hunt to uncoverCommunists In this climate of fear few Ameri-cans were safe from accusations of disloyaltymdashnot even the president

Republican critics began accusing PresidentTruman of being too easy on Communists In1947 Truman responded by ordering an investi-gation into the loyalty of all federal employeesMillions of government workers had to undergosecurity checks and thousands were investi-gated by the FBI Although the investigationsfound little evidence of espionage many federalemployees lost their jobs

Loyalty Oaths and InvestigationsMany state and local governments colleges

and businesses began similar campaigns touncover communist subversion Some organiza-tions required individuals to sign oaths swearingtheir loyalty to the United States Those whorefused risked losing their jobs

In 1950 Congress passed the McCarran Actwhich required all Communist organizations toregister with the government and to providelists of members President Truman vetoed theact ldquoIn a free country we punish men for crimesthey commitrdquo he said ldquobut never for the opin-ions they holdrdquo Congress overrode his veto

In 1947 a congressional committee the HouseUn-American Activities Committee (HUAC)began investigating communist subversion inthe nation In widely publicized hearings thecommittee questioned people about their knowl-edge of Communists or Communist sympathiz-ers Individuals came under suspicion because ofthe beliefs of their friends or coworkersmdashguiltby association The committeersquos activities fueledan anti-Communist hysteria in the nation

HUAC launched a sensational investigationof the Hollywood film industry rumored to befull of Communists A number of those whowere summoned refused to testify and severalscreenwriters and directorsmdashthe ldquoHollywoodTenrdquomdashwent to jail for refusing to answer ques-tions about their political beliefs or those of theircolleagues Reacting to public and governmentpressure film companies created blacklistsmdash

lists of individuals whose loyalty was suspi-ciousmdashthat barred people from working in Hollywoodrsquos film industry

American Spies RevealedIn 1948 Whittaker Chambers a magazine

editor volunteered to testify before HUACAfter admitting that he had spied for the SovietUnion in the 1930s Chambers accused AlgerHiss a former State Department official of giv-ing him secret government documents in 1937and 1938 to pass on to the Soviets

Chambers produced secret State Departmentpapers he claimed were written by Hiss andmicrofilm of other secret documents Chambersswore that he had received the microfilm (whichwas hidden in a pumpkin) from Hiss Investiga-tors could not prosecute Hiss for spying becausetoo much time had passed since the events had occurred However he was found guilty ofperjury or lying and sent to prison

Margaret Chase Smithof Maine was the firstwoman to be elected toboth houses of Congress

First elected to theHouse in 1940 Smithmade many contributionsduring her four termsDuring World War II sheworked to improve theposition of women in themilitary She played amajor role in the passage

of a new law theWomenrsquos Armed ServicesIntegration Act (1948)that allowed women toserve as permanent regu-lar members of thenationrsquos military forces

Smith also served fourterms in the SenateNever afraid to speak outon the issues she wasone of the first to con-demn the tactics used by

Senator Joseph McCarthyin his crusade againstcommunism

In 1964 Smith was oneof the presidential nomi-nees at the RepublicanNational Conventionmaking her the firstwoman to have her nameplaced in nomination by amajor political party

The most dramatic spy case to come beforeHUAC involved the atomic bomb Julius andEthel Rosenberg a New York couple who weremembers of the Communist Party were accusedof plotting to pass secret information about theatomic bomb to the Soviet Union Brought totrial in 1951 the Rosenbergs were convicted andsentenced to death The judge in the casedeclared their crime ldquoworse than murderrdquo

Groups around the world protested the sen-tence as a gross injustice but higher courtsupheld the death sentence decision Executed in1953 the Rosenbergs maintained their inno-cence to the end and claimed that they were per-secuted because of their political beliefs

Explaining What did the McCarranAct require

McCarthyismFrom 1950 to 1954 the hunt for Communists

in America was dominated by Senator JosephMcCarthy of Wisconsin During those yearsMcCarthy publicly attacked many peopleallegedmdashdeclared without proofmdashto be Com-

munists His unfounded accusations destroyedthe careers of many innocent Americans andheightened the atmosphere of anti-Communisthysteria in the country A new word was coinedMcCarthyism which came to mean the use ofunproved accusations against political oppo-nents

Joseph McCarthy rose to national attentionalmost overnight In a speech in Wheeling WestVirginia in February 1950 he announced thatAmerica had been betrayed by the ldquotraitorousactionsrdquo of certain individuals Raising a sheetof paper he claimed to have in his hand a list of205 State Department employees who weremembers of the Communist Party Millions ofAmericans believed McCarthyrsquos charges

During the next four years McCarthy contin-ued to accuse government officials and others ofbeing Communists His congressional subcom-mittee attacked and bullied the people it calledto testify Many federal employees resigned orwere dismissed as a result of McCarthyrsquos inves-tigations

Even the most powerful government officialshesitated to oppose him McCarthy often targetedDemocrats He and his Republican colleagues in

Congress saw anticommunism as an importantissue to use against the Democratic Party SomeRepublican candidates for Congress includingRichard Nixon successfully smeared their oppo-nents with charges of being soft on communismSuch tactics worked because so many Americansfeared the threat of communism

McCarthyrsquos DownfallIn 1954 McCarthy launched an investigation

of the United States Army He made alarmingclaims that Communists had infiltrated the mili-tary In a series of televised hearings watched bymillions of Americans McCarthy hurled wildaccusations at highly respected army officials

The televised Army-McCarthy Hearingsproved the turning point in the McCarthy inves-tigations For weeks Americans witnessedMcCarthyrsquos sneering and cruel attacks Towardthe end of the hearings Joseph Welch an attor-ney for the army said to McCarthy

ldquoUntil this moment Senator I think I neverreally gauged your cruelty or your recklessness Have you left no sense of decencyrdquo

Many Americans now came to viewMcCarthy as a cruel bully who had little basisfor his accusations Congress also turned againstMcCarthy In December 1954 the Senate votedto censure or formally criticize him for ldquocon-duct unbecoming a senatorrdquo Censure and the

April 1949 the United States Canada and 10Western European nations signed a pact estab-lishing the North Atlantic Treaty Organization(NATO) The agreement stated that ldquoan armedattack against one or more of [the membernations] shall be considered an attack againstallrdquo To defend against a possible Soviet inva-sion of Western Europe the NATO countriescreated a large military force

In response to NATO the Soviet Union cre-ated an alliance of its own with the Communistgovernments of Eastern Europe The allianceestablished in 1955 by mutual defense treatiesknown as the Warsaw Pact had a military forcethat the Soviet Union controlled The formationof NATO and the Warsaw Pact divided Europeinto two armed camps

The United States RearmsAfter World War II some of President Trumanrsquos

foreign policy advisers in the National SecurityCouncil (NSC) argued that America could not relyon other nations to contain the Soviets and resistthe spread of communism Unlike George Kennanand the supporters of the containment policy theNSC advisers believed the United States neededto take a more active stand against communismeverywheremdashnot just in strategic locations

In 1950 the NSC released a report known asNSC-68 which said that the United States mustactively

ldquofoster the seeds of destruction within theSoviet Unionrdquo

and fight communist movements wherever theyarose The United States committed itself tocombating communist expansion everywhere inthe world

nations in other parts of the world were under-going dramatic changes Many states broke freeof colonial rule and established independence

In the Middle East Jews and Arabs bothclaimed the region of Palestine an area the

British had controlled In 1947 the United Nationsproposed dividing Palestine into independentJewish and Arab states with Jerusalem as aninternational city The Jews accepted the plan butthe Arab states did not After declaring its inde-pendence the new Jewish state of Israel wasattacked by Arab armies in the first of six majorwars between the Arabs and Israel

Communism in ChinaPerhaps the most threatening change of the

postwar period occurred in China the largestcountry in Asia In 1949 a long civil war endedwith the victory of Chinese Communist forcesled by Mao Zedong (MAU ZUHbullDUNG) overthe armies commanded by Chiang Kai-shek(JEEbullAHNG KYbullSHEHK) the head of the Chi-nese government Mao Zedong formed a newCommunist state the Peoplersquos Republic ofChina while Chiang Kai-shek retreated with hisforces to the island of Taiwan off the southeast-ern coast of China The United States recognizedthe government in Taiwan as the legitimate gov-ernment of all China

When soldiers returned home after World War II they came back to a nation facingthe difficult task of changing from wartime to peacetime Would the economy collapseagain and another depression sweep the country President Truman was optimisticldquoWe are having our little troubles now Just a blow-up after a little let-down from warrdquoPublic concern however forced the nationrsquos political leaders into a heated debate overthe best way to deal with Americarsquos economic problems

Economics

The Postwar EconomyAfter World War II the nation and its economy had to adjust to peacetime

life Industries had to shift from producing war materials to making consumergoods Defense workers had to be retrained to work in consumer industriesand returning soldiers needed jobs

During the war government price controls had kept the cost of consumergoods such as food and clothing quite stable When the government removedthese controls prices began to surge This rise in prices or inflation also resultedfrom a huge increase in consumer demand and spending During the war years

CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

Americans had saved their money because manyconsumer goods were unavailable or rationedNow they were eager to spend this money onnew consumer products and services

Workers Seek Higher WagesAs a result of inflation consumer prices rose at

a much faster rate than wages During the warworkers had accepted government controls onwages and agreed not to strike Now they wouldno longer be put off When employers refused toraise wages labor unions called for strikes In1945 and 1946 millions of steelworkers railroadworkers and others walked off their jobsdemanding higher wages and better conditions

Labor unrest and strikes disrupted the nationrsquoseconomy When miners went on strike in 1946many Americans feared that dwindling coal sup-plies would cause the economy to grind to a haltAt about the same time a strike by railroadworkers caused a total shutdown of the nationrsquosrailroads which were vital to the economy

Truman Takes ActionAlarmed by the labor unrest President Tru-

man pressured the striking miners and railroadworkers to go back to their jobs In May 1946 he threatened to draft them into the army if theydid not return to work The president insisted hehad the right to take such steps to keep vitalindustries operating

President Truman finally forced striking min-ers back on the job by having the governmenttake over the mines At the same time howeverhe persuaded the mine owners to grant many ofthe workersrsquo demands Truman also pressuredrailroad workers to return to work

Describing What happened to theprice of consumer goods when demand grew after the war

Truman Faces the RepublicansIn September 1945 President Truman a

Democrat presented Congress with a plan ofdomestic reforms aimed at solving some of thenationrsquos economic problems Truman latercalled this program the Fair Deal

Truman proposed to raise the minimum wageexpand Social Security benefits increase federalspending to create jobs build new public hous-ing and create a system of national health insur-ance However because of opposition by acoalition of Republicans and Southern Demo-crats these measures failed to pass in Congress

Republicans Control CongressMany Americans blamed Truman and the

Democratic Party for the nationrsquos economicproblems In the congressional elections of 1946the slogan ldquoHad Enoughrdquo helped Republicanswin control of both houses of Congress

The new Republican Congress moved quicklyto create its own plans for the nation Havingrejected Trumanrsquos program for reform theRepublicans now set up proposals to enact aprogram that would limit government spend-ing control labor unions reduce governmentregulation of the economy and reverse policiesadopted in the 1930s under FDRrsquos New Deal

For many Republicans in Congress the mostimportant problem facing the nation was laborunrest and the growing power of labor unionsConservative Republicans favored big business

and wanted to limit the power of unions In the spring of 1947 Congress introduced theTaft-Hartley bill This bill limited the actionsworkers could take against their employers Itoutlawed the closed shop a workplace thathires only union members It also allowed thegovernment to temporarily stop any strike thatendangered public health or safety This provi-sion aimed to prevent any future strikes likethose of the miners and the railroad workers theyear before Union members and their leaderssharply criticized the Taft-Hartley Act calling ita ldquoslave labor billrdquo Although President Trumanopposed recent strikes he also knew that theDemocrats needed the support of labor Trumanvetoed the act but the Republican-controlledCongress overrode his veto

Government ReorganizationOne issue on which Truman and Congress

agreed was the need to improve the adminis-tration of the federal government which had

greatly expanded since the New Deal In 1947Truman appointed a commission headed byformer President Herbert Hoover to studyways of improving the efficiency of govern-ment Out of the Hoover Commissionrsquos workcame plans to create new government depart-ments and agencies

In 1947 Congress passed the National Secu-rity Act It unified the army navy marines andair force under the Department of Defense Asecretary of defense headed the new depart-ment The act also set up a permanent JointChiefs of Staff made up of the heads of each ofthe armed forces to coordinate military policyA National Security Council operating out ofthe White House would advise the presidenton foreign and military matters

The National Security Act also set up anotherinstitution the Central Intelligence Agency(CIA) The CIA aids American foreign policy by collecting information about what is going onin other countries evaluating it and passing it

Many Americans feared that the CIA wouldbe used to spy on American citizens Trumanhowever promised that the new agency wouldoperate only in foreign lands and would notbring ldquopolice state methodsrdquo into Americansociety The CIA was so successful that in 1949Congress gave that agency the right to receiveexchange and spend money without givingaccount to Congress

The Election of 1948As the 1948 presidential election approached

Truman appeared to be the underdog Continu-ing economic problems made the presidentunpopular with many Americans and his lackof success in winning passage of domesticreforms made Trumanrsquos administration lookweak and ineffective

Divisions within the Democratic Party alsoincreased the chances of an easy Republican vic-tory At the partyrsquos national convention a groupof Southern Democrats walked out to protestTrumanrsquos support for civil rights legislation TheSouthern Democrats formed the Statesrsquo RightsDemocratic Party or Dixiecrats and nominatedGovernor Strom Thurmond of South Carolinafor president At the same time some liberalmembers of the Democratic Party left to formthe Progressive Party with Henry Wallace astheir nominee for president Wallace opposedTrumanrsquos foreign policy and called for closer tiesbetween the United States and the Soviet Union

Dewey Leads PollsWith the Democrats badly divided it looked

as though Governor Thomas Dewey of NewYork the Republican nominee would surelywin the election Opinion polls showed Deweywith a huge lead One pollster remarked ldquoMrDewey is still so clearly ahead that we might justas well get ready to listen to his inauguralrdquo

Landmark Legislation With roughly 8 million citizens in uniform in 1945and 22 million involved in war production the GIBill helped guide a wartime economy smoothlyback into a peacetime economy

Truman campaigned aggressively Travelingmore than 30000 miles (48000 km) by train on a ldquowhistle-stoprdquo tour of the country he gavesome 250 speeches along the way In town aftertown he sharply attacked what he called ldquothat do-nothing good-for-nothing worst Congressrdquofor rejecting his Fair Deal legislation

Truman Stages an UpsetOn Election Day experts still expected Dewey

to win Expectations for a Republican victorywere so great that on the evening of the elec-tionmdashbefore many votes were countedmdashtheChicago Daily Tribune newspaper issued a specialedition announcing ldquoDewey Defeats Trumanrdquo

The nation was in for a great surprise Whenall the ballots were counted Truman had edgedout Dewey by more than two million votes in anarrow upset victory Democrats also regainedcontrol of both the House of Representativesand the Senate in the election

Analyzing Why was the outcome ofthe 1948 presidential election a surprise

A Fair Deal for AmericansTruman took the election results as a sign that

Americans wanted reform He quickly reintro-duced the Fair Deal legislation he had presented to Congress in 1945 Some of thesereform measures passed but his plan lackedbroad support and Congress defeated most ofthe measures Congress did pass laws to raisethe minimum wage expand Social Security ben-efits for senior citizens and provide funds forhousing for low-income families

CitizenshipA Stand on Civil Rights

In a message to Congress in 1948 PresidentTruman declared

ldquoWe shall not however finally achieve theideals for which this nation was founded so longas any American suffers discrimination as aresult of his race or religion or color or theland of origin of his forefathersrdquo

The bitter wind stung the raw faces of 12 US Marine officers They had just foughtfor five bloody days to lead their troops out of a Chinese trap in the icy wastes of north-east Korea Now they listened to the words of their commander ldquoWe are going tocome out of this as Marines not as stragglers Wersquore going to bring out our woundedand our equipment Wersquore coming out as Marines or not at allrdquo Two more days offighting followed as the tired but determined Marines held off fierce enemy attacksWith the arrival of air cover on the third day the Marines were able to push back theChinese and make their escape

803CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

The Soviet Union and the United States couldnot agree on how to unify Korea When thesetwo nations removed their forces in 1949 Korearemained divided Tensions between the twoKoreas were high

On June 24 1950 President Truman flew to his home in Independence Missouri for a briefvacation While sitting on his porch on a hotsummer night the president received a tele-phone call from Secretary of State Dean AchesonldquoMr Presidentrdquo Acheson said in a grim tone ldquoIhave very serious news The North Koreans haveinvaded South Koreardquo Truman knew this meantonly one thing the United States soon would beinvolved in military action in Asia

The Invasion of South KoreaAfter the American troops pulled out of South

Korea North Korea decided to unify the countryby force On June 25 1950 the armies of NorthKorea crossed the 38th parallel into South KoreaPoorly armed the South Koreans were no matchfor the North Within days the Communistforces had gained control over much of SouthKorea including Seoul the capital city

President Truman reacted quickly to theKorean invasion which he believed was sup-ported by the Soviet Union Without askingCongress to actually declare war Trumanordered the use of limited American air and seaforces in Korea He called this ldquopolice actionrdquonecessary to carry out Americarsquos policy of con-tainment Truman said

ldquoKorea is the Greece of the Far East If we aretough enough now if we stand up to them likewe did in Greece three years ago they wonrsquottake any next stepsrdquo

United Nations RespondsAt the same time President Truman asked the

UN to send forces to defend the South KoreansThe United Nations condemned the invasion ofSouth Korea and agreed to send a special forceto the region under the United Statesrsquos directionPresident Truman quickly appointed GeneralDouglas MacArthur a hero of World War II tocommand the UN forces

On June 30 just days after the North Koreaninvasion General MacArthur led Americantroops into Korea to stop the Communistadvance By the end of 1950 other nations weresupplying troops or other assistance to theAmerican-led war effort Even so Americansmade up the majority of troops throughout theKorean War

The United Nations had a clear but difficultgoalmdashpush the North Koreans back across the38th parallel When China intervened in the con-flict this goal changed causing Truman andMacArthur to clash over military strategy

Early Phases of the WarBy September 1950 North Korean forces had

pushed all the way to the southern tip of theKorean Peninsula Only a small area in thesoutheast around the port city of Pusan was stillheld by the South Korean army

After joining the South Koreans GeneralMacArthur designed a bold counterattackagainst North Korea In September UnitedNations forces made a daring landing midwayon the Korean Peninsula near the port ofInchon They took that strategic city and movedon to recapture Seoul

Meanwhile American and UN troops beganpushing north from Pusan By October 1 theNorth Koreans caught between UN forcesadvancing from both Seoul and Pusan wereforced to retreat north across the 38th parallelSouth Korea now came under the control of theUnited Nations forces

Taking the OffensiveEncouraged by this success General Mac-

Arthur urged President Truman to order aninvasion of North Korea He assured Trumanthat neither China nor the Soviet Union wouldenter the war to help North Korea and he prom-ised to have troops ldquohome by Christmasrdquo Tru-man sought and received approval from theUnited Nations to cross the 38th parallel invadethe North and create ldquoa unified independentand democratic Koreardquomdasha new goal for the war

After receiving these new orders MacArthurmoved his forces northward The UN forces cap-tured Pyongyang the North Korean capital onOctober 19 and then moved north toward theYalu River part of North Korearsquos border withChina Total victory seemed just days away

As the UN forces advanced the United Statesreceived a warning from the Chinese If theinvasion of North Korea continued Chinawould send in its army to support the NorthKoreans Believing the Chinese warning was abluff President Truman allowed MacArthur tocontinue moving north

The Chinese were not bluffing however Bylate October thousands of Chinese troops beganmassing along the border and some crossed theYalu River southward into North Korea OnNovember 26 huge numbers of Chinese troopslaunched an attack on United Nations forcesBadly outnumbered the UN forces retreatedsouth back across the 38th parallel Withinweeks the Communists had recaptured Seoul

American Leadership DividedBy January 1951 United Nations forces man-

Truman and MacArthur DisagreeAs the stalemate dragged on President Tru-

man began to consider negotiating an end to thefighting General MacArthur however arguedthat the UN forces should now attack Chinaeither by invading the country or by bombingChinese troops stationed in North Korea Tru-man opposed MacArthurrsquos plan fearing thatsuch actions would lead to a larger war withChina or escalate into another world war

In a letter to a member of Congress Mac-Arthur complained that he was being kept fromdoing his job ldquoWe must winrdquo he wrote ldquoThereis no substitute for victoryrdquo

On April 11 1951 President Truman relievedGeneral MacArthur of his command in Korea ldquoIcould do nothing else and still be president of theUnited Statesrdquo Truman concluded He wrote

ldquoIf I allowed him to defy the civil authoritiesin this manner I myself would be violating myoath to uphold and defend the Constitutionrdquo

MacArthurrsquos firing created a storm of protestin the United States The general was extremelypopular and polls showed that a majority ofAmericans supported him against the presidentMoreover MacArthur did not go quietly After receiving a herorsquos welcome on his return to theUnited States he delivered a farewell speech toCongress ldquoOld soldiers never dierdquo he saidldquothey just fade awayrdquo

Ending the ConflictThe two sides in the

Korean War begannegotiations in July1951 The talks lastedfor two years before acease-fire agreementwas signed on July 271953 during the presi-dency of Dwight Eisenhower This agreementending the war created a demilitarized zonemdasharegion where military forces could not entermdashbetween North and South Korea The zoneextended roughly a mile and a half on eitherside of the 38th parallel

The Korean War ended with neither sideachieving victory and almost no change in terri-tory Losses had been great More than 54000Americans died in the war and another 103000were wounded Nearly two million Koreans andChinese lost their lives and large portions ofNorth and South Korea were devastated

Americarsquos involvement in the Korean War senta clear message to the Soviet Union The UnitedStates was committed to fighting Communistexpansion with money arms and even lives Atthe same time the inability of the United States towin a clear victory contributed to uncertainty athome about the nationrsquos foreign policy

This Red Scare dominated the nationrsquos politicsfor years and led to a massive hunt to uncoverCommunists In this climate of fear few Ameri-cans were safe from accusations of disloyaltymdashnot even the president

Republican critics began accusing PresidentTruman of being too easy on Communists In1947 Truman responded by ordering an investi-gation into the loyalty of all federal employeesMillions of government workers had to undergosecurity checks and thousands were investi-gated by the FBI Although the investigationsfound little evidence of espionage many federalemployees lost their jobs

Loyalty Oaths and InvestigationsMany state and local governments colleges

and businesses began similar campaigns touncover communist subversion Some organiza-tions required individuals to sign oaths swearingtheir loyalty to the United States Those whorefused risked losing their jobs

In 1950 Congress passed the McCarran Actwhich required all Communist organizations toregister with the government and to providelists of members President Truman vetoed theact ldquoIn a free country we punish men for crimesthey commitrdquo he said ldquobut never for the opin-ions they holdrdquo Congress overrode his veto

In 1947 a congressional committee the HouseUn-American Activities Committee (HUAC)began investigating communist subversion inthe nation In widely publicized hearings thecommittee questioned people about their knowl-edge of Communists or Communist sympathiz-ers Individuals came under suspicion because ofthe beliefs of their friends or coworkersmdashguiltby association The committeersquos activities fueledan anti-Communist hysteria in the nation

HUAC launched a sensational investigationof the Hollywood film industry rumored to befull of Communists A number of those whowere summoned refused to testify and severalscreenwriters and directorsmdashthe ldquoHollywoodTenrdquomdashwent to jail for refusing to answer ques-tions about their political beliefs or those of theircolleagues Reacting to public and governmentpressure film companies created blacklistsmdash

lists of individuals whose loyalty was suspi-ciousmdashthat barred people from working in Hollywoodrsquos film industry

American Spies RevealedIn 1948 Whittaker Chambers a magazine

editor volunteered to testify before HUACAfter admitting that he had spied for the SovietUnion in the 1930s Chambers accused AlgerHiss a former State Department official of giv-ing him secret government documents in 1937and 1938 to pass on to the Soviets

Chambers produced secret State Departmentpapers he claimed were written by Hiss andmicrofilm of other secret documents Chambersswore that he had received the microfilm (whichwas hidden in a pumpkin) from Hiss Investiga-tors could not prosecute Hiss for spying becausetoo much time had passed since the events had occurred However he was found guilty ofperjury or lying and sent to prison

Margaret Chase Smithof Maine was the firstwoman to be elected toboth houses of Congress

First elected to theHouse in 1940 Smithmade many contributionsduring her four termsDuring World War II sheworked to improve theposition of women in themilitary She played amajor role in the passage

of a new law theWomenrsquos Armed ServicesIntegration Act (1948)that allowed women toserve as permanent regu-lar members of thenationrsquos military forces

Smith also served fourterms in the SenateNever afraid to speak outon the issues she wasone of the first to con-demn the tactics used by

Senator Joseph McCarthyin his crusade againstcommunism

In 1964 Smith was oneof the presidential nomi-nees at the RepublicanNational Conventionmaking her the firstwoman to have her nameplaced in nomination by amajor political party

The most dramatic spy case to come beforeHUAC involved the atomic bomb Julius andEthel Rosenberg a New York couple who weremembers of the Communist Party were accusedof plotting to pass secret information about theatomic bomb to the Soviet Union Brought totrial in 1951 the Rosenbergs were convicted andsentenced to death The judge in the casedeclared their crime ldquoworse than murderrdquo

Groups around the world protested the sen-tence as a gross injustice but higher courtsupheld the death sentence decision Executed in1953 the Rosenbergs maintained their inno-cence to the end and claimed that they were per-secuted because of their political beliefs

Explaining What did the McCarranAct require

McCarthyismFrom 1950 to 1954 the hunt for Communists

in America was dominated by Senator JosephMcCarthy of Wisconsin During those yearsMcCarthy publicly attacked many peopleallegedmdashdeclared without proofmdashto be Com-

munists His unfounded accusations destroyedthe careers of many innocent Americans andheightened the atmosphere of anti-Communisthysteria in the country A new word was coinedMcCarthyism which came to mean the use ofunproved accusations against political oppo-nents

Joseph McCarthy rose to national attentionalmost overnight In a speech in Wheeling WestVirginia in February 1950 he announced thatAmerica had been betrayed by the ldquotraitorousactionsrdquo of certain individuals Raising a sheetof paper he claimed to have in his hand a list of205 State Department employees who weremembers of the Communist Party Millions ofAmericans believed McCarthyrsquos charges

During the next four years McCarthy contin-ued to accuse government officials and others ofbeing Communists His congressional subcom-mittee attacked and bullied the people it calledto testify Many federal employees resigned orwere dismissed as a result of McCarthyrsquos inves-tigations

Even the most powerful government officialshesitated to oppose him McCarthy often targetedDemocrats He and his Republican colleagues in

Congress saw anticommunism as an importantissue to use against the Democratic Party SomeRepublican candidates for Congress includingRichard Nixon successfully smeared their oppo-nents with charges of being soft on communismSuch tactics worked because so many Americansfeared the threat of communism

McCarthyrsquos DownfallIn 1954 McCarthy launched an investigation

of the United States Army He made alarmingclaims that Communists had infiltrated the mili-tary In a series of televised hearings watched bymillions of Americans McCarthy hurled wildaccusations at highly respected army officials

The televised Army-McCarthy Hearingsproved the turning point in the McCarthy inves-tigations For weeks Americans witnessedMcCarthyrsquos sneering and cruel attacks Towardthe end of the hearings Joseph Welch an attor-ney for the army said to McCarthy

ldquoUntil this moment Senator I think I neverreally gauged your cruelty or your recklessness Have you left no sense of decencyrdquo

Many Americans now came to viewMcCarthy as a cruel bully who had little basisfor his accusations Congress also turned againstMcCarthy In December 1954 the Senate votedto censure or formally criticize him for ldquocon-duct unbecoming a senatorrdquo Censure and the

CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

When soldiers returned home after World War II they came back to a nation facingthe difficult task of changing from wartime to peacetime Would the economy collapseagain and another depression sweep the country President Truman was optimisticldquoWe are having our little troubles now Just a blow-up after a little let-down from warrdquoPublic concern however forced the nationrsquos political leaders into a heated debate overthe best way to deal with Americarsquos economic problems

The Postwar EconomyAfter World War II the nation and its economy had to adjust to peacetime

life Industries had to shift from producing war materials to making consumergoods Defense workers had to be retrained to work in consumer industriesand returning soldiers needed jobs

During the war government price controls had kept the cost of consumergoods such as food and clothing quite stable When the government removedthese controls prices began to surge This rise in prices or inflation also resultedfrom a huge increase in consumer demand and spending During the war years

CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

Americans had saved their money because manyconsumer goods were unavailable or rationedNow they were eager to spend this money onnew consumer products and services

Workers Seek Higher WagesAs a result of inflation consumer prices rose at

a much faster rate than wages During the warworkers had accepted government controls onwages and agreed not to strike Now they wouldno longer be put off When employers refused toraise wages labor unions called for strikes In1945 and 1946 millions of steelworkers railroadworkers and others walked off their jobsdemanding higher wages and better conditions

Labor unrest and strikes disrupted the nationrsquoseconomy When miners went on strike in 1946many Americans feared that dwindling coal sup-plies would cause the economy to grind to a haltAt about the same time a strike by railroadworkers caused a total shutdown of the nationrsquosrailroads which were vital to the economy

Truman Takes ActionAlarmed by the labor unrest President Tru-

man pressured the striking miners and railroadworkers to go back to their jobs In May 1946 he threatened to draft them into the army if theydid not return to work The president insisted hehad the right to take such steps to keep vitalindustries operating

President Truman finally forced striking min-ers back on the job by having the governmenttake over the mines At the same time howeverhe persuaded the mine owners to grant many ofthe workersrsquo demands Truman also pressuredrailroad workers to return to work

Describing What happened to theprice of consumer goods when demand grew after the war

Truman Faces the RepublicansIn September 1945 President Truman a

Democrat presented Congress with a plan ofdomestic reforms aimed at solving some of thenationrsquos economic problems Truman latercalled this program the Fair Deal

Truman proposed to raise the minimum wageexpand Social Security benefits increase federalspending to create jobs build new public hous-ing and create a system of national health insur-ance However because of opposition by acoalition of Republicans and Southern Demo-crats these measures failed to pass in Congress

Republicans Control CongressMany Americans blamed Truman and the

Democratic Party for the nationrsquos economicproblems In the congressional elections of 1946the slogan ldquoHad Enoughrdquo helped Republicanswin control of both houses of Congress

The new Republican Congress moved quicklyto create its own plans for the nation Havingrejected Trumanrsquos program for reform theRepublicans now set up proposals to enact aprogram that would limit government spend-ing control labor unions reduce governmentregulation of the economy and reverse policiesadopted in the 1930s under FDRrsquos New Deal

For many Republicans in Congress the mostimportant problem facing the nation was laborunrest and the growing power of labor unionsConservative Republicans favored big business

and wanted to limit the power of unions In the spring of 1947 Congress introduced theTaft-Hartley bill This bill limited the actionsworkers could take against their employers Itoutlawed the closed shop a workplace thathires only union members It also allowed thegovernment to temporarily stop any strike thatendangered public health or safety This provi-sion aimed to prevent any future strikes likethose of the miners and the railroad workers theyear before Union members and their leaderssharply criticized the Taft-Hartley Act calling ita ldquoslave labor billrdquo Although President Trumanopposed recent strikes he also knew that theDemocrats needed the support of labor Trumanvetoed the act but the Republican-controlledCongress overrode his veto

Government ReorganizationOne issue on which Truman and Congress

agreed was the need to improve the adminis-tration of the federal government which had

greatly expanded since the New Deal In 1947Truman appointed a commission headed byformer President Herbert Hoover to studyways of improving the efficiency of govern-ment Out of the Hoover Commissionrsquos workcame plans to create new government depart-ments and agencies

In 1947 Congress passed the National Secu-rity Act It unified the army navy marines andair force under the Department of Defense Asecretary of defense headed the new depart-ment The act also set up a permanent JointChiefs of Staff made up of the heads of each ofthe armed forces to coordinate military policyA National Security Council operating out ofthe White House would advise the presidenton foreign and military matters

The National Security Act also set up anotherinstitution the Central Intelligence Agency(CIA) The CIA aids American foreign policy by collecting information about what is going onin other countries evaluating it and passing it

Many Americans feared that the CIA wouldbe used to spy on American citizens Trumanhowever promised that the new agency wouldoperate only in foreign lands and would notbring ldquopolice state methodsrdquo into Americansociety The CIA was so successful that in 1949Congress gave that agency the right to receiveexchange and spend money without givingaccount to Congress

The Election of 1948As the 1948 presidential election approached

Truman appeared to be the underdog Continu-ing economic problems made the presidentunpopular with many Americans and his lackof success in winning passage of domesticreforms made Trumanrsquos administration lookweak and ineffective

Divisions within the Democratic Party alsoincreased the chances of an easy Republican vic-tory At the partyrsquos national convention a groupof Southern Democrats walked out to protestTrumanrsquos support for civil rights legislation TheSouthern Democrats formed the Statesrsquo RightsDemocratic Party or Dixiecrats and nominatedGovernor Strom Thurmond of South Carolinafor president At the same time some liberalmembers of the Democratic Party left to formthe Progressive Party with Henry Wallace astheir nominee for president Wallace opposedTrumanrsquos foreign policy and called for closer tiesbetween the United States and the Soviet Union

Dewey Leads PollsWith the Democrats badly divided it looked

as though Governor Thomas Dewey of NewYork the Republican nominee would surelywin the election Opinion polls showed Deweywith a huge lead One pollster remarked ldquoMrDewey is still so clearly ahead that we might justas well get ready to listen to his inauguralrdquo

Landmark Legislation With roughly 8 million citizens in uniform in 1945and 22 million involved in war production the GIBill helped guide a wartime economy smoothlyback into a peacetime economy

Truman campaigned aggressively Travelingmore than 30000 miles (48000 km) by train on a ldquowhistle-stoprdquo tour of the country he gavesome 250 speeches along the way In town aftertown he sharply attacked what he called ldquothat do-nothing good-for-nothing worst Congressrdquofor rejecting his Fair Deal legislation

Truman Stages an UpsetOn Election Day experts still expected Dewey

to win Expectations for a Republican victorywere so great that on the evening of the elec-tionmdashbefore many votes were countedmdashtheChicago Daily Tribune newspaper issued a specialedition announcing ldquoDewey Defeats Trumanrdquo

The nation was in for a great surprise Whenall the ballots were counted Truman had edgedout Dewey by more than two million votes in anarrow upset victory Democrats also regainedcontrol of both the House of Representativesand the Senate in the election

Analyzing Why was the outcome ofthe 1948 presidential election a surprise

A Fair Deal for AmericansTruman took the election results as a sign that

Americans wanted reform He quickly reintro-duced the Fair Deal legislation he had presented to Congress in 1945 Some of thesereform measures passed but his plan lackedbroad support and Congress defeated most ofthe measures Congress did pass laws to raisethe minimum wage expand Social Security ben-efits for senior citizens and provide funds forhousing for low-income families

CitizenshipA Stand on Civil Rights

In a message to Congress in 1948 PresidentTruman declared

ldquoWe shall not however finally achieve theideals for which this nation was founded so longas any American suffers discrimination as aresult of his race or religion or color or theland of origin of his forefathersrdquo

country located on the Korean Peninsula west of Japan In 1945 Korea was acolony of Japan At the end of World War II Japan was stripped of its territorialpossessions The United States and the Soviet Union both sent troops into Koreaand agreed to occupy it temporarily They divided the peninsula in half alongthe 38th parallel of latitude with the Soviets controlling North Korea and theAmericans controlling South Korea

803CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

The Soviet Union and the United States couldnot agree on how to unify Korea When thesetwo nations removed their forces in 1949 Korearemained divided Tensions between the twoKoreas were high

On June 24 1950 President Truman flew to his home in Independence Missouri for a briefvacation While sitting on his porch on a hotsummer night the president received a tele-phone call from Secretary of State Dean AchesonldquoMr Presidentrdquo Acheson said in a grim tone ldquoIhave very serious news The North Koreans haveinvaded South Koreardquo Truman knew this meantonly one thing the United States soon would beinvolved in military action in Asia

The Invasion of South KoreaAfter the American troops pulled out of South

Korea North Korea decided to unify the countryby force On June 25 1950 the armies of NorthKorea crossed the 38th parallel into South KoreaPoorly armed the South Koreans were no matchfor the North Within days the Communistforces had gained control over much of SouthKorea including Seoul the capital city

President Truman reacted quickly to theKorean invasion which he believed was sup-ported by the Soviet Union Without askingCongress to actually declare war Trumanordered the use of limited American air and seaforces in Korea He called this ldquopolice actionrdquonecessary to carry out Americarsquos policy of con-tainment Truman said

ldquoKorea is the Greece of the Far East If we aretough enough now if we stand up to them likewe did in Greece three years ago they wonrsquottake any next stepsrdquo

United Nations RespondsAt the same time President Truman asked the

UN to send forces to defend the South KoreansThe United Nations condemned the invasion ofSouth Korea and agreed to send a special forceto the region under the United Statesrsquos directionPresident Truman quickly appointed GeneralDouglas MacArthur a hero of World War II tocommand the UN forces

On June 30 just days after the North Koreaninvasion General MacArthur led Americantroops into Korea to stop the Communistadvance By the end of 1950 other nations weresupplying troops or other assistance to theAmerican-led war effort Even so Americansmade up the majority of troops throughout theKorean War

The United Nations had a clear but difficultgoalmdashpush the North Koreans back across the38th parallel When China intervened in the con-flict this goal changed causing Truman andMacArthur to clash over military strategy

Early Phases of the WarBy September 1950 North Korean forces had

pushed all the way to the southern tip of theKorean Peninsula Only a small area in thesoutheast around the port city of Pusan was stillheld by the South Korean army

After joining the South Koreans GeneralMacArthur designed a bold counterattackagainst North Korea In September UnitedNations forces made a daring landing midwayon the Korean Peninsula near the port ofInchon They took that strategic city and movedon to recapture Seoul

Meanwhile American and UN troops beganpushing north from Pusan By October 1 theNorth Koreans caught between UN forcesadvancing from both Seoul and Pusan wereforced to retreat north across the 38th parallelSouth Korea now came under the control of theUnited Nations forces

Taking the OffensiveEncouraged by this success General Mac-

Arthur urged President Truman to order aninvasion of North Korea He assured Trumanthat neither China nor the Soviet Union wouldenter the war to help North Korea and he prom-ised to have troops ldquohome by Christmasrdquo Tru-man sought and received approval from theUnited Nations to cross the 38th parallel invadethe North and create ldquoa unified independentand democratic Koreardquomdasha new goal for the war

After receiving these new orders MacArthurmoved his forces northward The UN forces cap-tured Pyongyang the North Korean capital onOctober 19 and then moved north toward theYalu River part of North Korearsquos border withChina Total victory seemed just days away

As the UN forces advanced the United Statesreceived a warning from the Chinese If theinvasion of North Korea continued Chinawould send in its army to support the NorthKoreans Believing the Chinese warning was abluff President Truman allowed MacArthur tocontinue moving north

The Chinese were not bluffing however Bylate October thousands of Chinese troops beganmassing along the border and some crossed theYalu River southward into North Korea OnNovember 26 huge numbers of Chinese troopslaunched an attack on United Nations forcesBadly outnumbered the UN forces retreatedsouth back across the 38th parallel Withinweeks the Communists had recaptured Seoul

Truman and MacArthur DisagreeAs the stalemate dragged on President Tru-

man began to consider negotiating an end to thefighting General MacArthur however arguedthat the UN forces should now attack Chinaeither by invading the country or by bombingChinese troops stationed in North Korea Tru-man opposed MacArthurrsquos plan fearing thatsuch actions would lead to a larger war withChina or escalate into another world war

In a letter to a member of Congress Mac-Arthur complained that he was being kept fromdoing his job ldquoWe must winrdquo he wrote ldquoThereis no substitute for victoryrdquo

On April 11 1951 President Truman relievedGeneral MacArthur of his command in Korea ldquoIcould do nothing else and still be president of theUnited Statesrdquo Truman concluded He wrote

ldquoIf I allowed him to defy the civil authoritiesin this manner I myself would be violating myoath to uphold and defend the Constitutionrdquo

MacArthurrsquos firing created a storm of protestin the United States The general was extremelypopular and polls showed that a majority ofAmericans supported him against the presidentMoreover MacArthur did not go quietly After receiving a herorsquos welcome on his return to theUnited States he delivered a farewell speech toCongress ldquoOld soldiers never dierdquo he saidldquothey just fade awayrdquo

Ending the ConflictThe two sides in the

Korean War begannegotiations in July1951 The talks lastedfor two years before acease-fire agreementwas signed on July 271953 during the presi-dency of Dwight Eisenhower This agreementending the war created a demilitarized zonemdasharegion where military forces could not entermdashbetween North and South Korea The zoneextended roughly a mile and a half on eitherside of the 38th parallel

The Korean War ended with neither sideachieving victory and almost no change in terri-tory Losses had been great More than 54000Americans died in the war and another 103000were wounded Nearly two million Koreans andChinese lost their lives and large portions ofNorth and South Korea were devastated

Americarsquos involvement in the Korean War senta clear message to the Soviet Union The UnitedStates was committed to fighting Communistexpansion with money arms and even lives Atthe same time the inability of the United States towin a clear victory contributed to uncertainty athome about the nationrsquos foreign policy

807CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

This Red Scare dominated the nationrsquos politicsfor years and led to a massive hunt to uncoverCommunists In this climate of fear few Ameri-cans were safe from accusations of disloyaltymdashnot even the president

Republican critics began accusing PresidentTruman of being too easy on Communists In1947 Truman responded by ordering an investi-gation into the loyalty of all federal employeesMillions of government workers had to undergosecurity checks and thousands were investi-gated by the FBI Although the investigationsfound little evidence of espionage many federalemployees lost their jobs

Loyalty Oaths and InvestigationsMany state and local governments colleges

and businesses began similar campaigns touncover communist subversion Some organiza-tions required individuals to sign oaths swearingtheir loyalty to the United States Those whorefused risked losing their jobs

In 1950 Congress passed the McCarran Actwhich required all Communist organizations toregister with the government and to providelists of members President Truman vetoed theact ldquoIn a free country we punish men for crimesthey commitrdquo he said ldquobut never for the opin-ions they holdrdquo Congress overrode his veto

In 1947 a congressional committee the HouseUn-American Activities Committee (HUAC)began investigating communist subversion inthe nation In widely publicized hearings thecommittee questioned people about their knowl-edge of Communists or Communist sympathiz-ers Individuals came under suspicion because ofthe beliefs of their friends or coworkersmdashguiltby association The committeersquos activities fueledan anti-Communist hysteria in the nation

HUAC launched a sensational investigationof the Hollywood film industry rumored to befull of Communists A number of those whowere summoned refused to testify and severalscreenwriters and directorsmdashthe ldquoHollywoodTenrdquomdashwent to jail for refusing to answer ques-tions about their political beliefs or those of theircolleagues Reacting to public and governmentpressure film companies created blacklistsmdash

lists of individuals whose loyalty was suspi-ciousmdashthat barred people from working in Hollywoodrsquos film industry

American Spies RevealedIn 1948 Whittaker Chambers a magazine

editor volunteered to testify before HUACAfter admitting that he had spied for the SovietUnion in the 1930s Chambers accused AlgerHiss a former State Department official of giv-ing him secret government documents in 1937and 1938 to pass on to the Soviets

Chambers produced secret State Departmentpapers he claimed were written by Hiss andmicrofilm of other secret documents Chambersswore that he had received the microfilm (whichwas hidden in a pumpkin) from Hiss Investiga-tors could not prosecute Hiss for spying becausetoo much time had passed since the events had occurred However he was found guilty ofperjury or lying and sent to prison

The most dramatic spy case to come beforeHUAC involved the atomic bomb Julius andEthel Rosenberg a New York couple who weremembers of the Communist Party were accusedof plotting to pass secret information about theatomic bomb to the Soviet Union Brought totrial in 1951 the Rosenbergs were convicted andsentenced to death The judge in the casedeclared their crime ldquoworse than murderrdquo

Explaining What did the McCarranAct require

McCarthyismFrom 1950 to 1954 the hunt for Communists

in America was dominated by Senator JosephMcCarthy of Wisconsin During those yearsMcCarthy publicly attacked many peopleallegedmdashdeclared without proofmdashto be Com-

munists His unfounded accusations destroyedthe careers of many innocent Americans andheightened the atmosphere of anti-Communisthysteria in the country A new word was coinedMcCarthyism which came to mean the use ofunproved accusations against political oppo-nents

Joseph McCarthy rose to national attentionalmost overnight In a speech in Wheeling WestVirginia in February 1950 he announced thatAmerica had been betrayed by the ldquotraitorousactionsrdquo of certain individuals Raising a sheetof paper he claimed to have in his hand a list of205 State Department employees who weremembers of the Communist Party Millions ofAmericans believed McCarthyrsquos charges

During the next four years McCarthy contin-ued to accuse government officials and others ofbeing Communists His congressional subcom-mittee attacked and bullied the people it calledto testify Many federal employees resigned orwere dismissed as a result of McCarthyrsquos inves-tigations

Even the most powerful government officialshesitated to oppose him McCarthy often targetedDemocrats He and his Republican colleagues in

Congress saw anticommunism as an importantissue to use against the Democratic Party SomeRepublican candidates for Congress includingRichard Nixon successfully smeared their oppo-nents with charges of being soft on communismSuch tactics worked because so many Americansfeared the threat of communism

McCarthyrsquos DownfallIn 1954 McCarthy launched an investigation

of the United States Army He made alarmingclaims that Communists had infiltrated the mili-tary In a series of televised hearings watched bymillions of Americans McCarthy hurled wildaccusations at highly respected army officials

The televised Army-McCarthy Hearingsproved the turning point in the McCarthy inves-tigations For weeks Americans witnessedMcCarthyrsquos sneering and cruel attacks Towardthe end of the hearings Joseph Welch an attor-ney for the army said to McCarthy

ldquoUntil this moment Senator I think I neverreally gauged your cruelty or your recklessness Have you left no sense of decencyrdquo

Many Americans now came to viewMcCarthy as a cruel bully who had little basisfor his accusations Congress also turned againstMcCarthy In December 1954 the Senate votedto censure or formally criticize him for ldquocon-duct unbecoming a senatorrdquo Censure and the

CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

When soldiers returned home after World War II they came back to a nation facingthe difficult task of changing from wartime to peacetime Would the economy collapseagain and another depression sweep the country President Truman was optimisticldquoWe are having our little troubles now Just a blow-up after a little let-down from warrdquoPublic concern however forced the nationrsquos political leaders into a heated debate overthe best way to deal with Americarsquos economic problems

Economics

The Postwar EconomyAfter World War II the nation and its economy had to adjust to peacetime

life Industries had to shift from producing war materials to making consumergoods Defense workers had to be retrained to work in consumer industriesand returning soldiers needed jobs

During the war government price controls had kept the cost of consumergoods such as food and clothing quite stable When the government removedthese controls prices began to surge This rise in prices or inflation also resultedfrom a huge increase in consumer demand and spending During the war years

CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

Americans had saved their money because manyconsumer goods were unavailable or rationedNow they were eager to spend this money onnew consumer products and services

Workers Seek Higher WagesAs a result of inflation consumer prices rose at

a much faster rate than wages During the warworkers had accepted government controls onwages and agreed not to strike Now they wouldno longer be put off When employers refused toraise wages labor unions called for strikes In1945 and 1946 millions of steelworkers railroadworkers and others walked off their jobsdemanding higher wages and better conditions

Labor unrest and strikes disrupted the nationrsquoseconomy When miners went on strike in 1946many Americans feared that dwindling coal sup-plies would cause the economy to grind to a haltAt about the same time a strike by railroadworkers caused a total shutdown of the nationrsquosrailroads which were vital to the economy

Truman Takes ActionAlarmed by the labor unrest President Tru-

man pressured the striking miners and railroadworkers to go back to their jobs In May 1946 he threatened to draft them into the army if theydid not return to work The president insisted hehad the right to take such steps to keep vitalindustries operating

President Truman finally forced striking min-ers back on the job by having the governmenttake over the mines At the same time howeverhe persuaded the mine owners to grant many ofthe workersrsquo demands Truman also pressuredrailroad workers to return to work

Describing What happened to theprice of consumer goods when demand grew after the war

Truman Faces the RepublicansIn September 1945 President Truman a

Democrat presented Congress with a plan ofdomestic reforms aimed at solving some of thenationrsquos economic problems Truman latercalled this program the Fair Deal

Truman proposed to raise the minimum wageexpand Social Security benefits increase federalspending to create jobs build new public hous-ing and create a system of national health insur-ance However because of opposition by acoalition of Republicans and Southern Demo-crats these measures failed to pass in Congress

Republicans Control CongressMany Americans blamed Truman and the

Democratic Party for the nationrsquos economicproblems In the congressional elections of 1946the slogan ldquoHad Enoughrdquo helped Republicanswin control of both houses of Congress

The new Republican Congress moved quicklyto create its own plans for the nation Havingrejected Trumanrsquos program for reform theRepublicans now set up proposals to enact aprogram that would limit government spend-ing control labor unions reduce governmentregulation of the economy and reverse policiesadopted in the 1930s under FDRrsquos New Deal

For many Republicans in Congress the mostimportant problem facing the nation was laborunrest and the growing power of labor unionsConservative Republicans favored big business

and wanted to limit the power of unions In the spring of 1947 Congress introduced theTaft-Hartley bill This bill limited the actionsworkers could take against their employers Itoutlawed the closed shop a workplace thathires only union members It also allowed thegovernment to temporarily stop any strike thatendangered public health or safety This provi-sion aimed to prevent any future strikes likethose of the miners and the railroad workers theyear before Union members and their leaderssharply criticized the Taft-Hartley Act calling ita ldquoslave labor billrdquo Although President Trumanopposed recent strikes he also knew that theDemocrats needed the support of labor Trumanvetoed the act but the Republican-controlledCongress overrode his veto

Government ReorganizationOne issue on which Truman and Congress

agreed was the need to improve the adminis-tration of the federal government which had

greatly expanded since the New Deal In 1947Truman appointed a commission headed byformer President Herbert Hoover to studyways of improving the efficiency of govern-ment Out of the Hoover Commissionrsquos workcame plans to create new government depart-ments and agencies

In 1947 Congress passed the National Secu-rity Act It unified the army navy marines andair force under the Department of Defense Asecretary of defense headed the new depart-ment The act also set up a permanent JointChiefs of Staff made up of the heads of each ofthe armed forces to coordinate military policyA National Security Council operating out ofthe White House would advise the presidenton foreign and military matters

The National Security Act also set up anotherinstitution the Central Intelligence Agency(CIA) The CIA aids American foreign policy by collecting information about what is going onin other countries evaluating it and passing it

Many Americans feared that the CIA wouldbe used to spy on American citizens Trumanhowever promised that the new agency wouldoperate only in foreign lands and would notbring ldquopolice state methodsrdquo into Americansociety The CIA was so successful that in 1949Congress gave that agency the right to receiveexchange and spend money without givingaccount to Congress

The Election of 1948As the 1948 presidential election approached

Truman appeared to be the underdog Continu-ing economic problems made the presidentunpopular with many Americans and his lackof success in winning passage of domesticreforms made Trumanrsquos administration lookweak and ineffective

Divisions within the Democratic Party alsoincreased the chances of an easy Republican vic-tory At the partyrsquos national convention a groupof Southern Democrats walked out to protestTrumanrsquos support for civil rights legislation TheSouthern Democrats formed the Statesrsquo RightsDemocratic Party or Dixiecrats and nominatedGovernor Strom Thurmond of South Carolinafor president At the same time some liberalmembers of the Democratic Party left to formthe Progressive Party with Henry Wallace astheir nominee for president Wallace opposedTrumanrsquos foreign policy and called for closer tiesbetween the United States and the Soviet Union

Dewey Leads PollsWith the Democrats badly divided it looked

as though Governor Thomas Dewey of NewYork the Republican nominee would surelywin the election Opinion polls showed Deweywith a huge lead One pollster remarked ldquoMrDewey is still so clearly ahead that we might justas well get ready to listen to his inauguralrdquo

Landmark Legislation With roughly 8 million citizens in uniform in 1945and 22 million involved in war production the GIBill helped guide a wartime economy smoothlyback into a peacetime economy

Truman campaigned aggressively Travelingmore than 30000 miles (48000 km) by train on a ldquowhistle-stoprdquo tour of the country he gavesome 250 speeches along the way In town aftertown he sharply attacked what he called ldquothat do-nothing good-for-nothing worst Congressrdquofor rejecting his Fair Deal legislation

Truman Stages an UpsetOn Election Day experts still expected Dewey

to win Expectations for a Republican victorywere so great that on the evening of the elec-tionmdashbefore many votes were countedmdashtheChicago Daily Tribune newspaper issued a specialedition announcing ldquoDewey Defeats Trumanrdquo

The nation was in for a great surprise Whenall the ballots were counted Truman had edgedout Dewey by more than two million votes in anarrow upset victory Democrats also regainedcontrol of both the House of Representativesand the Senate in the election

Analyzing Why was the outcome ofthe 1948 presidential election a surprise

A Fair Deal for AmericansTruman took the election results as a sign that

Americans wanted reform He quickly reintro-duced the Fair Deal legislation he had presented to Congress in 1945 Some of thesereform measures passed but his plan lackedbroad support and Congress defeated most ofthe measures Congress did pass laws to raisethe minimum wage expand Social Security ben-efits for senior citizens and provide funds forhousing for low-income families

CitizenshipA Stand on Civil Rights

In a message to Congress in 1948 PresidentTruman declared

ldquoWe shall not however finally achieve theideals for which this nation was founded so longas any American suffers discrimination as aresult of his race or religion or color or theland of origin of his forefathersrdquo

803CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

The Soviet Union and the United States couldnot agree on how to unify Korea When thesetwo nations removed their forces in 1949 Korearemained divided Tensions between the twoKoreas were high

On June 24 1950 President Truman flew to his home in Independence Missouri for a briefvacation While sitting on his porch on a hotsummer night the president received a tele-phone call from Secretary of State Dean AchesonldquoMr Presidentrdquo Acheson said in a grim tone ldquoIhave very serious news The North Koreans haveinvaded South Koreardquo Truman knew this meantonly one thing the United States soon would beinvolved in military action in Asia

The Invasion of South KoreaAfter the American troops pulled out of South

Korea North Korea decided to unify the countryby force On June 25 1950 the armies of NorthKorea crossed the 38th parallel into South KoreaPoorly armed the South Koreans were no matchfor the North Within days the Communistforces had gained control over much of SouthKorea including Seoul the capital city

President Truman reacted quickly to theKorean invasion which he believed was sup-ported by the Soviet Union Without askingCongress to actually declare war Trumanordered the use of limited American air and seaforces in Korea He called this ldquopolice actionrdquonecessary to carry out Americarsquos policy of con-tainment Truman said

ldquoKorea is the Greece of the Far East If we aretough enough now if we stand up to them likewe did in Greece three years ago they wonrsquottake any next stepsrdquo

United Nations RespondsAt the same time President Truman asked the

UN to send forces to defend the South KoreansThe United Nations condemned the invasion ofSouth Korea and agreed to send a special forceto the region under the United Statesrsquos directionPresident Truman quickly appointed GeneralDouglas MacArthur a hero of World War II tocommand the UN forces

On June 30 just days after the North Koreaninvasion General MacArthur led Americantroops into Korea to stop the Communistadvance By the end of 1950 other nations weresupplying troops or other assistance to theAmerican-led war effort Even so Americansmade up the majority of troops throughout theKorean War

The United Nations had a clear but difficultgoalmdashpush the North Koreans back across the38th parallel When China intervened in the con-flict this goal changed causing Truman andMacArthur to clash over military strategy

Early Phases of the WarBy September 1950 North Korean forces had

pushed all the way to the southern tip of theKorean Peninsula Only a small area in thesoutheast around the port city of Pusan was stillheld by the South Korean army

After joining the South Koreans GeneralMacArthur designed a bold counterattackagainst North Korea In September UnitedNations forces made a daring landing midwayon the Korean Peninsula near the port ofInchon They took that strategic city and movedon to recapture Seoul

Meanwhile American and UN troops beganpushing north from Pusan By October 1 theNorth Koreans caught between UN forcesadvancing from both Seoul and Pusan wereforced to retreat north across the 38th parallelSouth Korea now came under the control of theUnited Nations forces

Taking the OffensiveEncouraged by this success General Mac-

Arthur urged President Truman to order aninvasion of North Korea He assured Trumanthat neither China nor the Soviet Union wouldenter the war to help North Korea and he prom-ised to have troops ldquohome by Christmasrdquo Tru-man sought and received approval from theUnited Nations to cross the 38th parallel invadethe North and create ldquoa unified independentand democratic Koreardquomdasha new goal for the war

After receiving these new orders MacArthurmoved his forces northward The UN forces cap-tured Pyongyang the North Korean capital onOctober 19 and then moved north toward theYalu River part of North Korearsquos border withChina Total victory seemed just days away

As the UN forces advanced the United Statesreceived a warning from the Chinese If theinvasion of North Korea continued Chinawould send in its army to support the NorthKoreans Believing the Chinese warning was abluff President Truman allowed MacArthur tocontinue moving north

The Chinese were not bluffing however Bylate October thousands of Chinese troops beganmassing along the border and some crossed theYalu River southward into North Korea OnNovember 26 huge numbers of Chinese troopslaunched an attack on United Nations forcesBadly outnumbered the UN forces retreatedsouth back across the 38th parallel Withinweeks the Communists had recaptured Seoul

Describing What line separatedNorth from South Korea

American Leadership DividedBy January 1951 United Nations forces man-

aged to stop their retreat Launching a coun-teroffensive they retook Seoul and pushed theCommunists back across the 38th parallel Thewar now became a stalemate a situation inwhich neither side was able to gain muchground or achieve a decisive victory The stale-mate lasted for almost two years with much bitter fighting along the 38th parallel

Truman and MacArthur DisagreeAs the stalemate dragged on President Tru-

man began to consider negotiating an end to thefighting General MacArthur however arguedthat the UN forces should now attack Chinaeither by invading the country or by bombingChinese troops stationed in North Korea Tru-man opposed MacArthurrsquos plan fearing thatsuch actions would lead to a larger war withChina or escalate into another world war

In a letter to a member of Congress Mac-Arthur complained that he was being kept fromdoing his job ldquoWe must winrdquo he wrote ldquoThereis no substitute for victoryrdquo

On April 11 1951 President Truman relievedGeneral MacArthur of his command in Korea ldquoIcould do nothing else and still be president of theUnited Statesrdquo Truman concluded He wrote

ldquoIf I allowed him to defy the civil authoritiesin this manner I myself would be violating myoath to uphold and defend the Constitutionrdquo

MacArthurrsquos firing created a storm of protestin the United States The general was extremelypopular and polls showed that a majority ofAmericans supported him against the presidentMoreover MacArthur did not go quietly After receiving a herorsquos welcome on his return to theUnited States he delivered a farewell speech toCongress ldquoOld soldiers never dierdquo he saidldquothey just fade awayrdquo

Ending the ConflictThe two sides in the

Korean War begannegotiations in July1951 The talks lastedfor two years before acease-fire agreementwas signed on July 271953 during the presi-dency of Dwight Eisenhower This agreementending the war created a demilitarized zonemdasharegion where military forces could not entermdashbetween North and South Korea The zoneextended roughly a mile and a half on eitherside of the 38th parallel

In 1947 a congressional committee held public hearings on the alleged communistinfluence in the Hollywood film industry Many witnesses called before the committeewere asked the same questions ldquoAre you now or have you ever been a member ofthe Communist Partyrdquo Two witnesses denied having communist ties but 10 othersrefused to give a straight ldquoyesrdquo or ldquonordquo answer In dramatic moments worthy of themovies these ldquoHollywood Tenrdquo challenged the committeersquos right to ask about theirpolitical beliefs One of the accused yelled ldquoThis is the beginning of an American concentration camprdquo

Cold War FearsThe Cold War intensified Americansrsquo fears of communist subversion or

sabotage Stories of stolen government documents and spy rings gripped thecountry in the late 1940s Then in 1949 Americans learned that the Soviet Unionhad built its own atomic bomb

Many Americans worried that Communist spies and sympathizersmdashpeoplefriendly to Communists or ldquoRedsrdquo as they were knownmdashhad penetrated alllevels of American society and were attempting to weaken the government

807CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

This Red Scare dominated the nationrsquos politicsfor years and led to a massive hunt to uncoverCommunists In this climate of fear few Ameri-cans were safe from accusations of disloyaltymdashnot even the president

Republican critics began accusing PresidentTruman of being too easy on Communists In1947 Truman responded by ordering an investi-gation into the loyalty of all federal employeesMillions of government workers had to undergosecurity checks and thousands were investi-gated by the FBI Although the investigationsfound little evidence of espionage many federalemployees lost their jobs

Loyalty Oaths and InvestigationsMany state and local governments colleges

and businesses began similar campaigns touncover communist subversion Some organiza-tions required individuals to sign oaths swearingtheir loyalty to the United States Those whorefused risked losing their jobs

In 1950 Congress passed the McCarran Actwhich required all Communist organizations toregister with the government and to providelists of members President Truman vetoed theact ldquoIn a free country we punish men for crimesthey commitrdquo he said ldquobut never for the opin-ions they holdrdquo Congress overrode his veto

In 1947 a congressional committee the HouseUn-American Activities Committee (HUAC)began investigating communist subversion inthe nation In widely publicized hearings thecommittee questioned people about their knowl-edge of Communists or Communist sympathiz-ers Individuals came under suspicion because ofthe beliefs of their friends or coworkersmdashguiltby association The committeersquos activities fueledan anti-Communist hysteria in the nation

HUAC launched a sensational investigationof the Hollywood film industry rumored to befull of Communists A number of those whowere summoned refused to testify and severalscreenwriters and directorsmdashthe ldquoHollywoodTenrdquomdashwent to jail for refusing to answer ques-tions about their political beliefs or those of theircolleagues Reacting to public and governmentpressure film companies created blacklistsmdash

lists of individuals whose loyalty was suspi-ciousmdashthat barred people from working in Hollywoodrsquos film industry

American Spies RevealedIn 1948 Whittaker Chambers a magazine

editor volunteered to testify before HUACAfter admitting that he had spied for the SovietUnion in the 1930s Chambers accused AlgerHiss a former State Department official of giv-ing him secret government documents in 1937and 1938 to pass on to the Soviets

Chambers produced secret State Departmentpapers he claimed were written by Hiss andmicrofilm of other secret documents Chambersswore that he had received the microfilm (whichwas hidden in a pumpkin) from Hiss Investiga-tors could not prosecute Hiss for spying becausetoo much time had passed since the events had occurred However he was found guilty ofperjury or lying and sent to prison

Margaret Chase Smithof Maine was the firstwoman to be elected toboth houses of Congress

First elected to theHouse in 1940 Smithmade many contributionsduring her four termsDuring World War II sheworked to improve theposition of women in themilitary She played amajor role in the passage

of a new law theWomenrsquos Armed ServicesIntegration Act (1948)that allowed women toserve as permanent regu-lar members of thenationrsquos military forces

Smith also served fourterms in the SenateNever afraid to speak outon the issues she wasone of the first to con-demn the tactics used by

Senator Joseph McCarthyin his crusade againstcommunism

In 1964 Smith was oneof the presidential nomi-nees at the RepublicanNational Conventionmaking her the firstwoman to have her nameplaced in nomination by amajor political party

The most dramatic spy case to come beforeHUAC involved the atomic bomb Julius andEthel Rosenberg a New York couple who weremembers of the Communist Party were accusedof plotting to pass secret information about theatomic bomb to the Soviet Union Brought totrial in 1951 the Rosenbergs were convicted andsentenced to death The judge in the casedeclared their crime ldquoworse than murderrdquo

Groups around the world protested the sen-tence as a gross injustice but higher courtsupheld the death sentence decision Executed in1953 the Rosenbergs maintained their inno-cence to the end and claimed that they were per-secuted because of their political beliefs

Explaining What did the McCarranAct require

McCarthyismFrom 1950 to 1954 the hunt for Communists

in America was dominated by Senator JosephMcCarthy of Wisconsin During those yearsMcCarthy publicly attacked many peopleallegedmdashdeclared without proofmdashto be Com-

munists His unfounded accusations destroyedthe careers of many innocent Americans andheightened the atmosphere of anti-Communisthysteria in the country A new word was coinedMcCarthyism which came to mean the use ofunproved accusations against political oppo-nents

Joseph McCarthy rose to national attentionalmost overnight In a speech in Wheeling WestVirginia in February 1950 he announced thatAmerica had been betrayed by the ldquotraitorousactionsrdquo of certain individuals Raising a sheetof paper he claimed to have in his hand a list of205 State Department employees who weremembers of the Communist Party Millions ofAmericans believed McCarthyrsquos charges

During the next four years McCarthy contin-ued to accuse government officials and others ofbeing Communists His congressional subcom-mittee attacked and bullied the people it calledto testify Many federal employees resigned orwere dismissed as a result of McCarthyrsquos inves-tigations

Even the most powerful government officialshesitated to oppose him McCarthy often targetedDemocrats He and his Republican colleagues in

Congress saw anticommunism as an importantissue to use against the Democratic Party SomeRepublican candidates for Congress includingRichard Nixon successfully smeared their oppo-nents with charges of being soft on communismSuch tactics worked because so many Americansfeared the threat of communism

McCarthyrsquos DownfallIn 1954 McCarthy launched an investigation

of the United States Army He made alarmingclaims that Communists had infiltrated the mili-tary In a series of televised hearings watched bymillions of Americans McCarthy hurled wildaccusations at highly respected army officials

The televised Army-McCarthy Hearingsproved the turning point in the McCarthy inves-tigations For weeks Americans witnessedMcCarthyrsquos sneering and cruel attacks Towardthe end of the hearings Joseph Welch an attor-ney for the army said to McCarthy

ldquoUntil this moment Senator I think I neverreally gauged your cruelty or your recklessness Have you left no sense of decencyrdquo

Many Americans now came to viewMcCarthy as a cruel bully who had little basisfor his accusations Congress also turned againstMcCarthy In December 1954 the Senate votedto censure or formally criticize him for ldquocon-duct unbecoming a senatorrdquo Censure and the

CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

When soldiers returned home after World War II they came back to a nation facingthe difficult task of changing from wartime to peacetime Would the economy collapseagain and another depression sweep the country President Truman was optimisticldquoWe are having our little troubles now Just a blow-up after a little let-down from warrdquoPublic concern however forced the nationrsquos political leaders into a heated debate overthe best way to deal with Americarsquos economic problems

Economics

The Postwar EconomyAfter World War II the nation and its economy had to adjust to peacetime

life Industries had to shift from producing war materials to making consumergoods Defense workers had to be retrained to work in consumer industriesand returning soldiers needed jobs

During the war government price controls had kept the cost of consumergoods such as food and clothing quite stable When the government removedthese controls prices began to surge This rise in prices or inflation also resultedfrom a huge increase in consumer demand and spending During the war years

CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

Americans had saved their money because manyconsumer goods were unavailable or rationedNow they were eager to spend this money onnew consumer products and services

Workers Seek Higher WagesAs a result of inflation consumer prices rose at

a much faster rate than wages During the warworkers had accepted government controls onwages and agreed not to strike Now they wouldno longer be put off When employers refused toraise wages labor unions called for strikes In1945 and 1946 millions of steelworkers railroadworkers and others walked off their jobsdemanding higher wages and better conditions

Labor unrest and strikes disrupted the nationrsquoseconomy When miners went on strike in 1946many Americans feared that dwindling coal sup-plies would cause the economy to grind to a haltAt about the same time a strike by railroadworkers caused a total shutdown of the nationrsquosrailroads which were vital to the economy

Truman Takes ActionAlarmed by the labor unrest President Tru-

man pressured the striking miners and railroadworkers to go back to their jobs In May 1946 he threatened to draft them into the army if theydid not return to work The president insisted hehad the right to take such steps to keep vitalindustries operating

President Truman finally forced striking min-ers back on the job by having the governmenttake over the mines At the same time howeverhe persuaded the mine owners to grant many ofthe workersrsquo demands Truman also pressuredrailroad workers to return to work

Describing What happened to theprice of consumer goods when demand grew after the war

Truman Faces the RepublicansIn September 1945 President Truman a

Democrat presented Congress with a plan ofdomestic reforms aimed at solving some of thenationrsquos economic problems Truman latercalled this program the Fair Deal

Truman proposed to raise the minimum wageexpand Social Security benefits increase federalspending to create jobs build new public hous-ing and create a system of national health insur-ance However because of opposition by acoalition of Republicans and Southern Demo-crats these measures failed to pass in Congress

Republicans Control CongressMany Americans blamed Truman and the

Democratic Party for the nationrsquos economicproblems In the congressional elections of 1946the slogan ldquoHad Enoughrdquo helped Republicanswin control of both houses of Congress

The new Republican Congress moved quicklyto create its own plans for the nation Havingrejected Trumanrsquos program for reform theRepublicans now set up proposals to enact aprogram that would limit government spend-ing control labor unions reduce governmentregulation of the economy and reverse policiesadopted in the 1930s under FDRrsquos New Deal

For many Republicans in Congress the mostimportant problem facing the nation was laborunrest and the growing power of labor unionsConservative Republicans favored big business

and wanted to limit the power of unions In the spring of 1947 Congress introduced theTaft-Hartley bill This bill limited the actionsworkers could take against their employers Itoutlawed the closed shop a workplace thathires only union members It also allowed thegovernment to temporarily stop any strike thatendangered public health or safety This provi-sion aimed to prevent any future strikes likethose of the miners and the railroad workers theyear before Union members and their leaderssharply criticized the Taft-Hartley Act calling ita ldquoslave labor billrdquo Although President Trumanopposed recent strikes he also knew that theDemocrats needed the support of labor Trumanvetoed the act but the Republican-controlledCongress overrode his veto

Government ReorganizationOne issue on which Truman and Congress

agreed was the need to improve the adminis-tration of the federal government which had

greatly expanded since the New Deal In 1947Truman appointed a commission headed byformer President Herbert Hoover to studyways of improving the efficiency of govern-ment Out of the Hoover Commissionrsquos workcame plans to create new government depart-ments and agencies

In 1947 Congress passed the National Secu-rity Act It unified the army navy marines andair force under the Department of Defense Asecretary of defense headed the new depart-ment The act also set up a permanent JointChiefs of Staff made up of the heads of each ofthe armed forces to coordinate military policyA National Security Council operating out ofthe White House would advise the presidenton foreign and military matters

The National Security Act also set up anotherinstitution the Central Intelligence Agency(CIA) The CIA aids American foreign policy by collecting information about what is going onin other countries evaluating it and passing it

Many Americans feared that the CIA wouldbe used to spy on American citizens Trumanhowever promised that the new agency wouldoperate only in foreign lands and would notbring ldquopolice state methodsrdquo into Americansociety The CIA was so successful that in 1949Congress gave that agency the right to receiveexchange and spend money without givingaccount to Congress

The Election of 1948As the 1948 presidential election approached

Truman appeared to be the underdog Continu-ing economic problems made the presidentunpopular with many Americans and his lackof success in winning passage of domesticreforms made Trumanrsquos administration lookweak and ineffective

Divisions within the Democratic Party alsoincreased the chances of an easy Republican vic-tory At the partyrsquos national convention a groupof Southern Democrats walked out to protestTrumanrsquos support for civil rights legislation TheSouthern Democrats formed the Statesrsquo RightsDemocratic Party or Dixiecrats and nominatedGovernor Strom Thurmond of South Carolinafor president At the same time some liberalmembers of the Democratic Party left to formthe Progressive Party with Henry Wallace astheir nominee for president Wallace opposedTrumanrsquos foreign policy and called for closer tiesbetween the United States and the Soviet Union

Dewey Leads PollsWith the Democrats badly divided it looked

as though Governor Thomas Dewey of NewYork the Republican nominee would surelywin the election Opinion polls showed Deweywith a huge lead One pollster remarked ldquoMrDewey is still so clearly ahead that we might justas well get ready to listen to his inauguralrdquo

Landmark Legislation With roughly 8 million citizens in uniform in 1945and 22 million involved in war production the GIBill helped guide a wartime economy smoothlyback into a peacetime economy

ldquoMore than 2250000 American veterans of WWIIreceived at least part of their college education as aresult of legislation known as the GI Billrdquo ndashMichael D Haydock historian

Truman campaigned aggressively Travelingmore than 30000 miles (48000 km) by train on a ldquowhistle-stoprdquo tour of the country he gavesome 250 speeches along the way In town aftertown he sharply attacked what he called ldquothat do-nothing good-for-nothing worst Congressrdquofor rejecting his Fair Deal legislation

Truman Stages an UpsetOn Election Day experts still expected Dewey

to win Expectations for a Republican victorywere so great that on the evening of the elec-tionmdashbefore many votes were countedmdashtheChicago Daily Tribune newspaper issued a specialedition announcing ldquoDewey Defeats Trumanrdquo

The nation was in for a great surprise Whenall the ballots were counted Truman had edgedout Dewey by more than two million votes in anarrow upset victory Democrats also regainedcontrol of both the House of Representativesand the Senate in the election

Analyzing Why was the outcome ofthe 1948 presidential election a surprise

A Fair Deal for AmericansTruman took the election results as a sign that

Americans wanted reform He quickly reintro-duced the Fair Deal legislation he had presented to Congress in 1945 Some of thesereform measures passed but his plan lackedbroad support and Congress defeated most ofthe measures Congress did pass laws to raisethe minimum wage expand Social Security ben-efits for senior citizens and provide funds forhousing for low-income families

CitizenshipA Stand on Civil Rights

In a message to Congress in 1948 PresidentTruman declared

ldquoWe shall not however finally achieve theideals for which this nation was founded so longas any American suffers discrimination as aresult of his race or religion or color or theland of origin of his forefathersrdquo

The bitter wind stung the raw faces of 12 US Marine officers They had just foughtfor five bloody days to lead their troops out of a Chinese trap in the icy wastes of north-east Korea Now they listened to the words of their commander ldquoWe are going tocome out of this as Marines not as stragglers Wersquore going to bring out our woundedand our equipment Wersquore coming out as Marines or not at allrdquo Two more days offighting followed as the tired but determined Marines held off fierce enemy attacksWith the arrival of air cover on the third day the Marines were able to push back theChinese and make their escape

Conflict in KoreaBefore June 1950 few Americans knew much about Korea a small east Asian

country located on the Korean Peninsula west of Japan In 1945 Korea was acolony of Japan At the end of World War II Japan was stripped of its territorialpossessions The United States and the Soviet Union both sent troops into Koreaand agreed to occupy it temporarily They divided the peninsula in half alongthe 38th parallel of latitude with the Soviets controlling North Korea and theAmericans controlling South Korea

The Soviet Union and the United States couldnot agree on how to unify Korea When thesetwo nations removed their forces in 1949 Korearemained divided Tensions between the twoKoreas were high

On June 24 1950 President Truman flew to his home in Independence Missouri for a briefvacation While sitting on his porch on a hotsummer night the president received a tele-phone call from Secretary of State Dean AchesonldquoMr Presidentrdquo Acheson said in a grim tone ldquoIhave very serious news The North Koreans haveinvaded South Koreardquo Truman knew this meantonly one thing the United States soon would beinvolved in military action in Asia

The Invasion of South KoreaAfter the American troops pulled out of South

Korea North Korea decided to unify the countryby force On June 25 1950 the armies of NorthKorea crossed the 38th parallel into South KoreaPoorly armed the South Koreans were no matchfor the North Within days the Communistforces had gained control over much of SouthKorea including Seoul the capital city

President Truman reacted quickly to theKorean invasion which he believed was sup-ported by the Soviet Union Without askingCongress to actually declare war Trumanordered the use of limited American air and seaforces in Korea He called this ldquopolice actionrdquonecessary to carry out Americarsquos policy of con-tainment Truman said

ldquoKorea is the Greece of the Far East If we aretough enough now if we stand up to them likewe did in Greece three years ago they wonrsquottake any next stepsrdquo

United Nations RespondsAt the same time President Truman asked the

UN to send forces to defend the South KoreansThe United Nations condemned the invasion ofSouth Korea and agreed to send a special forceto the region under the United Statesrsquos directionPresident Truman quickly appointed GeneralDouglas MacArthur a hero of World War II tocommand the UN forces

On June 30 just days after the North Koreaninvasion General MacArthur led Americantroops into Korea to stop the Communistadvance By the end of 1950 other nations weresupplying troops or other assistance to theAmerican-led war effort Even so Americansmade up the majority of troops throughout theKorean War

The United Nations had a clear but difficultgoalmdashpush the North Koreans back across the38th parallel When China intervened in the con-flict this goal changed causing Truman andMacArthur to clash over military strategy

Early Phases of the WarBy September 1950 North Korean forces had

pushed all the way to the southern tip of theKorean Peninsula Only a small area in thesoutheast around the port city of Pusan was stillheld by the South Korean army

After joining the South Koreans GeneralMacArthur designed a bold counterattackagainst North Korea In September UnitedNations forces made a daring landing midwayon the Korean Peninsula near the port ofInchon They took that strategic city and movedon to recapture Seoul

Meanwhile American and UN troops beganpushing north from Pusan By October 1 theNorth Koreans caught between UN forcesadvancing from both Seoul and Pusan wereforced to retreat north across the 38th parallelSouth Korea now came under the control of theUnited Nations forces

Taking the OffensiveEncouraged by this success General Mac-

Arthur urged President Truman to order aninvasion of North Korea He assured Trumanthat neither China nor the Soviet Union wouldenter the war to help North Korea and he prom-ised to have troops ldquohome by Christmasrdquo Tru-man sought and received approval from theUnited Nations to cross the 38th parallel invadethe North and create ldquoa unified independentand democratic Koreardquomdasha new goal for the war

After receiving these new orders MacArthurmoved his forces northward The UN forces cap-tured Pyongyang the North Korean capital onOctober 19 and then moved north toward theYalu River part of North Korearsquos border withChina Total victory seemed just days away

As the UN forces advanced the United Statesreceived a warning from the Chinese If theinvasion of North Korea continued Chinawould send in its army to support the NorthKoreans Believing the Chinese warning was abluff President Truman allowed MacArthur tocontinue moving north

The Chinese were not bluffing however Bylate October thousands of Chinese troops beganmassing along the border and some crossed theYalu River southward into North Korea OnNovember 26 huge numbers of Chinese troopslaunched an attack on United Nations forcesBadly outnumbered the UN forces retreatedsouth back across the 38th parallel Withinweeks the Communists had recaptured Seoul

American Leadership DividedBy January 1951 United Nations forces man-

aged to stop their retreat Launching a coun-teroffensive they retook Seoul and pushed theCommunists back across the 38th parallel Thewar now became a stalemate a situation inwhich neither side was able to gain muchground or achieve a decisive victory The stale-mate lasted for almost two years with much bitter fighting along the 38th parallel

Truman and MacArthur DisagreeAs the stalemate dragged on President Tru-

man began to consider negotiating an end to thefighting General MacArthur however arguedthat the UN forces should now attack Chinaeither by invading the country or by bombingChinese troops stationed in North Korea Tru-man opposed MacArthurrsquos plan fearing thatsuch actions would lead to a larger war withChina or escalate into another world war

In a letter to a member of Congress Mac-Arthur complained that he was being kept fromdoing his job ldquoWe must winrdquo he wrote ldquoThereis no substitute for victoryrdquo

On April 11 1951 President Truman relievedGeneral MacArthur of his command in Korea ldquoIcould do nothing else and still be president of theUnited Statesrdquo Truman concluded He wrote

ldquoIf I allowed him to defy the civil authoritiesin this manner I myself would be violating myoath to uphold and defend the Constitutionrdquo

MacArthurrsquos firing created a storm of protestin the United States The general was extremelypopular and polls showed that a majority ofAmericans supported him against the presidentMoreover MacArthur did not go quietly After receiving a herorsquos welcome on his return to theUnited States he delivered a farewell speech toCongress ldquoOld soldiers never dierdquo he saidldquothey just fade awayrdquo

Ending the ConflictThe two sides in the

Korean War begannegotiations in July1951 The talks lastedfor two years before acease-fire agreementwas signed on July 271953 during the presi-dency of Dwight Eisenhower This agreementending the war created a demilitarized zonemdasharegion where military forces could not entermdashbetween North and South Korea The zoneextended roughly a mile and a half on eitherside of the 38th parallel

The Korean War ended with neither sideachieving victory and almost no change in terri-tory Losses had been great More than 54000Americans died in the war and another 103000were wounded Nearly two million Koreans andChinese lost their lives and large portions ofNorth and South Korea were devastated

Americarsquos involvement in the Korean War senta clear message to the Soviet Union The UnitedStates was committed to fighting Communistexpansion with money arms and even lives Atthe same time the inability of the United States towin a clear victory contributed to uncertainty athome about the nationrsquos foreign policy

This Red Scare dominated the nationrsquos politicsfor years and led to a massive hunt to uncoverCommunists In this climate of fear few Ameri-cans were safe from accusations of disloyaltymdashnot even the president

Republican critics began accusing PresidentTruman of being too easy on Communists In1947 Truman responded by ordering an investi-gation into the loyalty of all federal employeesMillions of government workers had to undergosecurity checks and thousands were investi-gated by the FBI Although the investigationsfound little evidence of espionage many federalemployees lost their jobs

Loyalty Oaths and InvestigationsMany state and local governments colleges

and businesses began similar campaigns touncover communist subversion Some organiza-tions required individuals to sign oaths swearingtheir loyalty to the United States Those whorefused risked losing their jobs

In 1950 Congress passed the McCarran Actwhich required all Communist organizations toregister with the government and to providelists of members President Truman vetoed theact ldquoIn a free country we punish men for crimesthey commitrdquo he said ldquobut never for the opin-ions they holdrdquo Congress overrode his veto

In 1947 a congressional committee the HouseUn-American Activities Committee (HUAC)began investigating communist subversion inthe nation In widely publicized hearings thecommittee questioned people about their knowl-edge of Communists or Communist sympathiz-ers Individuals came under suspicion because ofthe beliefs of their friends or coworkersmdashguiltby association The committeersquos activities fueledan anti-Communist hysteria in the nation

HUAC launched a sensational investigationof the Hollywood film industry rumored to befull of Communists A number of those whowere summoned refused to testify and severalscreenwriters and directorsmdashthe ldquoHollywoodTenrdquomdashwent to jail for refusing to answer ques-tions about their political beliefs or those of theircolleagues Reacting to public and governmentpressure film companies created blacklistsmdash

lists of individuals whose loyalty was suspi-ciousmdashthat barred people from working in Hollywoodrsquos film industry

American Spies RevealedIn 1948 Whittaker Chambers a magazine

editor volunteered to testify before HUACAfter admitting that he had spied for the SovietUnion in the 1930s Chambers accused AlgerHiss a former State Department official of giv-ing him secret government documents in 1937and 1938 to pass on to the Soviets

Chambers produced secret State Departmentpapers he claimed were written by Hiss andmicrofilm of other secret documents Chambersswore that he had received the microfilm (whichwas hidden in a pumpkin) from Hiss Investiga-tors could not prosecute Hiss for spying becausetoo much time had passed since the events had occurred However he was found guilty ofperjury or lying and sent to prison

Margaret Chase Smithof Maine was the firstwoman to be elected toboth houses of Congress

First elected to theHouse in 1940 Smithmade many contributionsduring her four termsDuring World War II sheworked to improve theposition of women in themilitary She played amajor role in the passage

of a new law theWomenrsquos Armed ServicesIntegration Act (1948)that allowed women toserve as permanent regu-lar members of thenationrsquos military forces

Smith also served fourterms in the SenateNever afraid to speak outon the issues she wasone of the first to con-demn the tactics used by

Senator Joseph McCarthyin his crusade againstcommunism

In 1964 Smith was oneof the presidential nomi-nees at the RepublicanNational Conventionmaking her the firstwoman to have her nameplaced in nomination by amajor political party

The most dramatic spy case to come beforeHUAC involved the atomic bomb Julius andEthel Rosenberg a New York couple who weremembers of the Communist Party were accusedof plotting to pass secret information about theatomic bomb to the Soviet Union Brought totrial in 1951 the Rosenbergs were convicted andsentenced to death The judge in the casedeclared their crime ldquoworse than murderrdquo

Groups around the world protested the sen-tence as a gross injustice but higher courtsupheld the death sentence decision Executed in1953 the Rosenbergs maintained their inno-cence to the end and claimed that they were per-secuted because of their political beliefs

Explaining What did the McCarranAct require

McCarthyismFrom 1950 to 1954 the hunt for Communists

in America was dominated by Senator JosephMcCarthy of Wisconsin During those yearsMcCarthy publicly attacked many peopleallegedmdashdeclared without proofmdashto be Com-

munists His unfounded accusations destroyedthe careers of many innocent Americans andheightened the atmosphere of anti-Communisthysteria in the country A new word was coinedMcCarthyism which came to mean the use ofunproved accusations against political oppo-nents

Joseph McCarthy rose to national attentionalmost overnight In a speech in Wheeling WestVirginia in February 1950 he announced thatAmerica had been betrayed by the ldquotraitorousactionsrdquo of certain individuals Raising a sheetof paper he claimed to have in his hand a list of205 State Department employees who weremembers of the Communist Party Millions ofAmericans believed McCarthyrsquos charges

During the next four years McCarthy contin-ued to accuse government officials and others ofbeing Communists His congressional subcom-mittee attacked and bullied the people it calledto testify Many federal employees resigned orwere dismissed as a result of McCarthyrsquos inves-tigations

Even the most powerful government officialshesitated to oppose him McCarthy often targetedDemocrats He and his Republican colleagues in

Congress saw anticommunism as an importantissue to use against the Democratic Party SomeRepublican candidates for Congress includingRichard Nixon successfully smeared their oppo-nents with charges of being soft on communismSuch tactics worked because so many Americansfeared the threat of communism

McCarthyrsquos DownfallIn 1954 McCarthy launched an investigation

of the United States Army He made alarmingclaims that Communists had infiltrated the mili-tary In a series of televised hearings watched bymillions of Americans McCarthy hurled wildaccusations at highly respected army officials

The televised Army-McCarthy Hearingsproved the turning point in the McCarthy inves-tigations For weeks Americans witnessedMcCarthyrsquos sneering and cruel attacks Towardthe end of the hearings Joseph Welch an attor-ney for the army said to McCarthy

ldquoUntil this moment Senator I think I neverreally gauged your cruelty or your recklessness Have you left no sense of decencyrdquo

Many Americans now came to viewMcCarthy as a cruel bully who had little basisfor his accusations Congress also turned againstMcCarthy In December 1954 the Senate votedto censure or formally criticize him for ldquocon-duct unbecoming a senatorrdquo Censure and the

CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

Americans had saved their money because manyconsumer goods were unavailable or rationedNow they were eager to spend this money onnew consumer products and services

Workers Seek Higher WagesAs a result of inflation consumer prices rose at

a much faster rate than wages During the warworkers had accepted government controls onwages and agreed not to strike Now they wouldno longer be put off When employers refused toraise wages labor unions called for strikes In1945 and 1946 millions of steelworkers railroadworkers and others walked off their jobsdemanding higher wages and better conditions

Labor unrest and strikes disrupted the nationrsquoseconomy When miners went on strike in 1946many Americans feared that dwindling coal sup-plies would cause the economy to grind to a haltAt about the same time a strike by railroadworkers caused a total shutdown of the nationrsquosrailroads which were vital to the economy

Truman Takes ActionAlarmed by the labor unrest President Tru-

man pressured the striking miners and railroadworkers to go back to their jobs In May 1946 he threatened to draft them into the army if theydid not return to work The president insisted hehad the right to take such steps to keep vitalindustries operating

President Truman finally forced striking min-ers back on the job by having the governmenttake over the mines At the same time howeverhe persuaded the mine owners to grant many ofthe workersrsquo demands Truman also pressuredrailroad workers to return to work

Describing What happened to theprice of consumer goods when demand grew after the war

Truman Faces the RepublicansIn September 1945 President Truman a

Democrat presented Congress with a plan ofdomestic reforms aimed at solving some of thenationrsquos economic problems Truman latercalled this program the Fair Deal

Truman proposed to raise the minimum wageexpand Social Security benefits increase federalspending to create jobs build new public hous-ing and create a system of national health insur-ance However because of opposition by acoalition of Republicans and Southern Demo-crats these measures failed to pass in Congress

Republicans Control CongressMany Americans blamed Truman and the

Democratic Party for the nationrsquos economicproblems In the congressional elections of 1946the slogan ldquoHad Enoughrdquo helped Republicanswin control of both houses of Congress

The new Republican Congress moved quicklyto create its own plans for the nation Havingrejected Trumanrsquos program for reform theRepublicans now set up proposals to enact aprogram that would limit government spend-ing control labor unions reduce governmentregulation of the economy and reverse policiesadopted in the 1930s under FDRrsquos New Deal

For many Republicans in Congress the mostimportant problem facing the nation was laborunrest and the growing power of labor unionsConservative Republicans favored big business

and wanted to limit the power of unions In the spring of 1947 Congress introduced theTaft-Hartley bill This bill limited the actionsworkers could take against their employers Itoutlawed the closed shop a workplace thathires only union members It also allowed thegovernment to temporarily stop any strike thatendangered public health or safety This provi-sion aimed to prevent any future strikes likethose of the miners and the railroad workers theyear before Union members and their leaderssharply criticized the Taft-Hartley Act calling ita ldquoslave labor billrdquo Although President Trumanopposed recent strikes he also knew that theDemocrats needed the support of labor Trumanvetoed the act but the Republican-controlledCongress overrode his veto

Government ReorganizationOne issue on which Truman and Congress

agreed was the need to improve the adminis-tration of the federal government which had

greatly expanded since the New Deal In 1947Truman appointed a commission headed byformer President Herbert Hoover to studyways of improving the efficiency of govern-ment Out of the Hoover Commissionrsquos workcame plans to create new government depart-ments and agencies

In 1947 Congress passed the National Secu-rity Act It unified the army navy marines andair force under the Department of Defense Asecretary of defense headed the new depart-ment The act also set up a permanent JointChiefs of Staff made up of the heads of each ofthe armed forces to coordinate military policyA National Security Council operating out ofthe White House would advise the presidenton foreign and military matters

The National Security Act also set up anotherinstitution the Central Intelligence Agency(CIA) The CIA aids American foreign policy by collecting information about what is going onin other countries evaluating it and passing it

on to the president and other foreign-policydecision makers The CIA uses its own secretagents paid informers and friendly govern-ments to collect such information

Many Americans feared that the CIA wouldbe used to spy on American citizens Trumanhowever promised that the new agency wouldoperate only in foreign lands and would notbring ldquopolice state methodsrdquo into Americansociety The CIA was so successful that in 1949Congress gave that agency the right to receiveexchange and spend money without givingaccount to Congress

The Election of 1948As the 1948 presidential election approached

Truman appeared to be the underdog Continu-ing economic problems made the presidentunpopular with many Americans and his lackof success in winning passage of domesticreforms made Trumanrsquos administration lookweak and ineffective

Divisions within the Democratic Party alsoincreased the chances of an easy Republican vic-tory At the partyrsquos national convention a groupof Southern Democrats walked out to protestTrumanrsquos support for civil rights legislation TheSouthern Democrats formed the Statesrsquo RightsDemocratic Party or Dixiecrats and nominatedGovernor Strom Thurmond of South Carolinafor president At the same time some liberalmembers of the Democratic Party left to formthe Progressive Party with Henry Wallace astheir nominee for president Wallace opposedTrumanrsquos foreign policy and called for closer tiesbetween the United States and the Soviet Union

Dewey Leads PollsWith the Democrats badly divided it looked

as though Governor Thomas Dewey of NewYork the Republican nominee would surelywin the election Opinion polls showed Deweywith a huge lead One pollster remarked ldquoMrDewey is still so clearly ahead that we might justas well get ready to listen to his inauguralrdquo

Landmark Legislation With roughly 8 million citizens in uniform in 1945and 22 million involved in war production the GIBill helped guide a wartime economy smoothlyback into a peacetime economy

ldquoMore than 2250000 American veterans of WWIIreceived at least part of their college education as aresult of legislation known as the GI Billrdquo ndashMichael D Haydock historian

Truman campaigned aggressively Travelingmore than 30000 miles (48000 km) by train on a ldquowhistle-stoprdquo tour of the country he gavesome 250 speeches along the way In town aftertown he sharply attacked what he called ldquothat do-nothing good-for-nothing worst Congressrdquofor rejecting his Fair Deal legislation

Truman Stages an UpsetOn Election Day experts still expected Dewey

to win Expectations for a Republican victorywere so great that on the evening of the elec-tionmdashbefore many votes were countedmdashtheChicago Daily Tribune newspaper issued a specialedition announcing ldquoDewey Defeats Trumanrdquo

The nation was in for a great surprise Whenall the ballots were counted Truman had edgedout Dewey by more than two million votes in anarrow upset victory Democrats also regainedcontrol of both the House of Representativesand the Senate in the election

Analyzing Why was the outcome ofthe 1948 presidential election a surprise

A Fair Deal for AmericansTruman took the election results as a sign that

Americans wanted reform He quickly reintro-duced the Fair Deal legislation he had presented to Congress in 1945 Some of thesereform measures passed but his plan lackedbroad support and Congress defeated most ofthe measures Congress did pass laws to raisethe minimum wage expand Social Security ben-efits for senior citizens and provide funds forhousing for low-income families

CitizenshipA Stand on Civil Rights

In a message to Congress in 1948 PresidentTruman declared

ldquoWe shall not however finally achieve theideals for which this nation was founded so longas any American suffers discrimination as aresult of his race or religion or color or theland of origin of his forefathersrdquo

The Invasion of South KoreaAfter the American troops pulled out of South

President Truman reacted quickly to theKorean invasion which he believed was sup-ported by the Soviet Union Without askingCongress to actually declare war Trumanordered the use of limited American air and seaforces in Korea He called this ldquopolice actionrdquonecessary to carry out Americarsquos policy of con-tainment Truman said

UN to send forces to defend the South KoreansThe United Nations condemned the invasion ofSouth Korea and agreed to send a special forceto the region under the United Statesrsquos directionPresident Truman quickly appointed GeneralDouglas MacArthur a hero of World War II tocommand the UN forces

On June 30 just days after the North Koreaninvasion General MacArthur led Americantroops into Korea to stop the Communistadvance By the end of 1950 other nations weresupplying troops or other assistance to theAmerican-led war effort Even so Americansmade up the majority of troops throughout theKorean War

The United Nations had a clear but difficultgoalmdashpush the North Koreans back across the38th parallel When China intervened in the con-flict this goal changed causing Truman andMacArthur to clash over military strategy

Early Phases of the WarBy September 1950 North Korean forces had

pushed all the way to the southern tip of theKorean Peninsula Only a small area in thesoutheast around the port city of Pusan was stillheld by the South Korean army

After joining the South Koreans GeneralMacArthur designed a bold counterattackagainst North Korea In September UnitedNations forces made a daring landing midwayon the Korean Peninsula near the port ofInchon They took that strategic city and movedon to recapture Seoul

Meanwhile American and UN troops beganpushing north from Pusan By October 1 theNorth Koreans caught between UN forcesadvancing from both Seoul and Pusan wereforced to retreat north across the 38th parallelSouth Korea now came under the control of theUnited Nations forces

Taking the OffensiveEncouraged by this success General Mac-

Arthur urged President Truman to order aninvasion of North Korea He assured Trumanthat neither China nor the Soviet Union wouldenter the war to help North Korea and he prom-ised to have troops ldquohome by Christmasrdquo Tru-man sought and received approval from theUnited Nations to cross the 38th parallel invadethe North and create ldquoa unified independentand democratic Koreardquomdasha new goal for the war

After receiving these new orders MacArthurmoved his forces northward The UN forces cap-tured Pyongyang the North Korean capital onOctober 19 and then moved north toward theYalu River part of North Korearsquos border withChina Total victory seemed just days away

As the UN forces advanced the United Statesreceived a warning from the Chinese If theinvasion of North Korea continued Chinawould send in its army to support the NorthKoreans Believing the Chinese warning was abluff President Truman allowed MacArthur tocontinue moving north

The Chinese were not bluffing however Bylate October thousands of Chinese troops beganmassing along the border and some crossed theYalu River southward into North Korea OnNovember 26 huge numbers of Chinese troopslaunched an attack on United Nations forcesBadly outnumbered the UN forces retreatedsouth back across the 38th parallel Withinweeks the Communists had recaptured Seoul

American Leadership DividedBy January 1951 United Nations forces man-

aged to stop their retreat Launching a coun-teroffensive they retook Seoul and pushed theCommunists back across the 38th parallel Thewar now became a stalemate a situation inwhich neither side was able to gain muchground or achieve a decisive victory The stale-mate lasted for almost two years with much bitter fighting along the 38th parallel

Truman and MacArthur DisagreeAs the stalemate dragged on President Tru-

man began to consider negotiating an end to thefighting General MacArthur however arguedthat the UN forces should now attack Chinaeither by invading the country or by bombingChinese troops stationed in North Korea Tru-man opposed MacArthurrsquos plan fearing thatsuch actions would lead to a larger war withChina or escalate into another world war

In a letter to a member of Congress Mac-Arthur complained that he was being kept fromdoing his job ldquoWe must winrdquo he wrote ldquoThereis no substitute for victoryrdquo

On April 11 1951 President Truman relievedGeneral MacArthur of his command in Korea ldquoIcould do nothing else and still be president of theUnited Statesrdquo Truman concluded He wrote

ldquoIf I allowed him to defy the civil authoritiesin this manner I myself would be violating myoath to uphold and defend the Constitutionrdquo

MacArthurrsquos firing created a storm of protestin the United States The general was extremelypopular and polls showed that a majority ofAmericans supported him against the presidentMoreover MacArthur did not go quietly After receiving a herorsquos welcome on his return to theUnited States he delivered a farewell speech toCongress ldquoOld soldiers never dierdquo he saidldquothey just fade awayrdquo

Ending the ConflictThe two sides in the

Korean War begannegotiations in July1951 The talks lastedfor two years before acease-fire agreementwas signed on July 271953 during the presi-dency of Dwight Eisenhower This agreementending the war created a demilitarized zonemdasharegion where military forces could not entermdashbetween North and South Korea The zoneextended roughly a mile and a half on eitherside of the 38th parallel

The Korean War ended with neither sideachieving victory and almost no change in terri-tory Losses had been great More than 54000Americans died in the war and another 103000were wounded Nearly two million Koreans andChinese lost their lives and large portions ofNorth and South Korea were devastated

Americarsquos involvement in the Korean War senta clear message to the Soviet Union The UnitedStates was committed to fighting Communistexpansion with money arms and even lives Atthe same time the inability of the United States towin a clear victory contributed to uncertainty athome about the nationrsquos foreign policy

This Red Scare dominated the nationrsquos politicsfor years and led to a massive hunt to uncoverCommunists In this climate of fear few Ameri-cans were safe from accusations of disloyaltymdashnot even the president

Republican critics began accusing PresidentTruman of being too easy on Communists In1947 Truman responded by ordering an investi-gation into the loyalty of all federal employeesMillions of government workers had to undergosecurity checks and thousands were investi-gated by the FBI Although the investigationsfound little evidence of espionage many federalemployees lost their jobs

Loyalty Oaths and InvestigationsMany state and local governments colleges

and businesses began similar campaigns touncover communist subversion Some organiza-tions required individuals to sign oaths swearingtheir loyalty to the United States Those whorefused risked losing their jobs

In 1950 Congress passed the McCarran Actwhich required all Communist organizations toregister with the government and to providelists of members President Truman vetoed theact ldquoIn a free country we punish men for crimesthey commitrdquo he said ldquobut never for the opin-ions they holdrdquo Congress overrode his veto

In 1947 a congressional committee the HouseUn-American Activities Committee (HUAC)began investigating communist subversion inthe nation In widely publicized hearings thecommittee questioned people about their knowl-edge of Communists or Communist sympathiz-ers Individuals came under suspicion because ofthe beliefs of their friends or coworkersmdashguiltby association The committeersquos activities fueledan anti-Communist hysteria in the nation

HUAC launched a sensational investigationof the Hollywood film industry rumored to befull of Communists A number of those whowere summoned refused to testify and severalscreenwriters and directorsmdashthe ldquoHollywoodTenrdquomdashwent to jail for refusing to answer ques-tions about their political beliefs or those of theircolleagues Reacting to public and governmentpressure film companies created blacklistsmdash

lists of individuals whose loyalty was suspi-ciousmdashthat barred people from working in Hollywoodrsquos film industry

American Spies RevealedIn 1948 Whittaker Chambers a magazine

editor volunteered to testify before HUACAfter admitting that he had spied for the SovietUnion in the 1930s Chambers accused AlgerHiss a former State Department official of giv-ing him secret government documents in 1937and 1938 to pass on to the Soviets

Chambers produced secret State Departmentpapers he claimed were written by Hiss andmicrofilm of other secret documents Chambersswore that he had received the microfilm (whichwas hidden in a pumpkin) from Hiss Investiga-tors could not prosecute Hiss for spying becausetoo much time had passed since the events had occurred However he was found guilty ofperjury or lying and sent to prison

Margaret Chase Smithof Maine was the firstwoman to be elected toboth houses of Congress

First elected to theHouse in 1940 Smithmade many contributionsduring her four termsDuring World War II sheworked to improve theposition of women in themilitary She played amajor role in the passage

of a new law theWomenrsquos Armed ServicesIntegration Act (1948)that allowed women toserve as permanent regu-lar members of thenationrsquos military forces

Smith also served fourterms in the SenateNever afraid to speak outon the issues she wasone of the first to con-demn the tactics used by

Senator Joseph McCarthyin his crusade againstcommunism

In 1964 Smith was oneof the presidential nomi-nees at the RepublicanNational Conventionmaking her the firstwoman to have her nameplaced in nomination by amajor political party

The most dramatic spy case to come beforeHUAC involved the atomic bomb Julius andEthel Rosenberg a New York couple who weremembers of the Communist Party were accusedof plotting to pass secret information about theatomic bomb to the Soviet Union Brought totrial in 1951 the Rosenbergs were convicted andsentenced to death The judge in the casedeclared their crime ldquoworse than murderrdquo

Groups around the world protested the sen-tence as a gross injustice but higher courtsupheld the death sentence decision Executed in1953 the Rosenbergs maintained their inno-cence to the end and claimed that they were per-secuted because of their political beliefs

Explaining What did the McCarranAct require

McCarthyismFrom 1950 to 1954 the hunt for Communists

in America was dominated by Senator JosephMcCarthy of Wisconsin During those yearsMcCarthy publicly attacked many peopleallegedmdashdeclared without proofmdashto be Com-

munists His unfounded accusations destroyedthe careers of many innocent Americans andheightened the atmosphere of anti-Communisthysteria in the country A new word was coinedMcCarthyism which came to mean the use ofunproved accusations against political oppo-nents

Joseph McCarthy rose to national attentionalmost overnight In a speech in Wheeling WestVirginia in February 1950 he announced thatAmerica had been betrayed by the ldquotraitorousactionsrdquo of certain individuals Raising a sheetof paper he claimed to have in his hand a list of205 State Department employees who weremembers of the Communist Party Millions ofAmericans believed McCarthyrsquos charges

During the next four years McCarthy contin-ued to accuse government officials and others ofbeing Communists His congressional subcom-mittee attacked and bullied the people it calledto testify Many federal employees resigned orwere dismissed as a result of McCarthyrsquos inves-tigations

Even the most powerful government officialshesitated to oppose him McCarthy often targetedDemocrats He and his Republican colleagues in

Congress saw anticommunism as an importantissue to use against the Democratic Party SomeRepublican candidates for Congress includingRichard Nixon successfully smeared their oppo-nents with charges of being soft on communismSuch tactics worked because so many Americansfeared the threat of communism

McCarthyrsquos DownfallIn 1954 McCarthy launched an investigation

of the United States Army He made alarmingclaims that Communists had infiltrated the mili-tary In a series of televised hearings watched bymillions of Americans McCarthy hurled wildaccusations at highly respected army officials

The televised Army-McCarthy Hearingsproved the turning point in the McCarthy inves-tigations For weeks Americans witnessedMcCarthyrsquos sneering and cruel attacks Towardthe end of the hearings Joseph Welch an attor-ney for the army said to McCarthy

ldquoUntil this moment Senator I think I neverreally gauged your cruelty or your recklessness Have you left no sense of decencyrdquo

Many Americans now came to viewMcCarthy as a cruel bully who had little basisfor his accusations Congress also turned againstMcCarthy In December 1954 the Senate votedto censure or formally criticize him for ldquocon-duct unbecoming a senatorrdquo Censure and the

and wanted to limit the power of unions In the spring of 1947 Congress introduced theTaft-Hartley bill This bill limited the actionsworkers could take against their employers Itoutlawed the closed shop a workplace thathires only union members It also allowed thegovernment to temporarily stop any strike thatendangered public health or safety This provi-sion aimed to prevent any future strikes likethose of the miners and the railroad workers theyear before Union members and their leaderssharply criticized the Taft-Hartley Act calling ita ldquoslave labor billrdquo Although President Trumanopposed recent strikes he also knew that theDemocrats needed the support of labor Trumanvetoed the act but the Republican-controlledCongress overrode his veto

Government ReorganizationOne issue on which Truman and Congress

agreed was the need to improve the adminis-tration of the federal government which had

greatly expanded since the New Deal In 1947Truman appointed a commission headed byformer President Herbert Hoover to studyways of improving the efficiency of govern-ment Out of the Hoover Commissionrsquos workcame plans to create new government depart-ments and agencies

In 1947 Congress passed the National Secu-rity Act It unified the army navy marines andair force under the Department of Defense Asecretary of defense headed the new depart-ment The act also set up a permanent JointChiefs of Staff made up of the heads of each ofthe armed forces to coordinate military policyA National Security Council operating out ofthe White House would advise the presidenton foreign and military matters

The National Security Act also set up anotherinstitution the Central Intelligence Agency(CIA) The CIA aids American foreign policy by collecting information about what is going onin other countries evaluating it and passing it

on to the president and other foreign-policydecision makers The CIA uses its own secretagents paid informers and friendly govern-ments to collect such information

Many Americans feared that the CIA wouldbe used to spy on American citizens Trumanhowever promised that the new agency wouldoperate only in foreign lands and would notbring ldquopolice state methodsrdquo into Americansociety The CIA was so successful that in 1949Congress gave that agency the right to receiveexchange and spend money without givingaccount to Congress

The Election of 1948As the 1948 presidential election approached

Truman appeared to be the underdog Continu-ing economic problems made the presidentunpopular with many Americans and his lackof success in winning passage of domesticreforms made Trumanrsquos administration lookweak and ineffective

Divisions within the Democratic Party alsoincreased the chances of an easy Republican vic-tory At the partyrsquos national convention a groupof Southern Democrats walked out to protestTrumanrsquos support for civil rights legislation TheSouthern Democrats formed the Statesrsquo RightsDemocratic Party or Dixiecrats and nominatedGovernor Strom Thurmond of South Carolinafor president At the same time some liberalmembers of the Democratic Party left to formthe Progressive Party with Henry Wallace astheir nominee for president Wallace opposedTrumanrsquos foreign policy and called for closer tiesbetween the United States and the Soviet Union

Dewey Leads PollsWith the Democrats badly divided it looked

as though Governor Thomas Dewey of NewYork the Republican nominee would surelywin the election Opinion polls showed Deweywith a huge lead One pollster remarked ldquoMrDewey is still so clearly ahead that we might justas well get ready to listen to his inauguralrdquo

Landmark Legislation With roughly 8 million citizens in uniform in 1945and 22 million involved in war production the GIBill helped guide a wartime economy smoothlyback into a peacetime economy

ldquoMore than 2250000 American veterans of WWIIreceived at least part of their college education as aresult of legislation known as the GI Billrdquo ndashMichael D Haydock historian

Truman campaigned aggressively Travelingmore than 30000 miles (48000 km) by train on a ldquowhistle-stoprdquo tour of the country he gavesome 250 speeches along the way In town aftertown he sharply attacked what he called ldquothat do-nothing good-for-nothing worst Congressrdquofor rejecting his Fair Deal legislation

Truman Stages an UpsetOn Election Day experts still expected Dewey

to win Expectations for a Republican victorywere so great that on the evening of the elec-tionmdashbefore many votes were countedmdashtheChicago Daily Tribune newspaper issued a specialedition announcing ldquoDewey Defeats Trumanrdquo

The nation was in for a great surprise Whenall the ballots were counted Truman had edgedout Dewey by more than two million votes in anarrow upset victory Democrats also regainedcontrol of both the House of Representativesand the Senate in the election

Analyzing Why was the outcome ofthe 1948 presidential election a surprise

A Fair Deal for AmericansTruman took the election results as a sign that

Americans wanted reform He quickly reintro-duced the Fair Deal legislation he had presented to Congress in 1945 Some of thesereform measures passed but his plan lackedbroad support and Congress defeated most ofthe measures Congress did pass laws to raisethe minimum wage expand Social Security ben-efits for senior citizens and provide funds forhousing for low-income families

CitizenshipA Stand on Civil Rights

In a message to Congress in 1948 PresidentTruman declared

ldquoWe shall not however finally achieve theideals for which this nation was founded so longas any American suffers discrimination as aresult of his race or religion or color or theland of origin of his forefathersrdquo

CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

The bitter wind stung the raw faces of 12 US Marine officers They had just foughtfor five bloody days to lead their troops out of a Chinese trap in the icy wastes of north-east Korea Now they listened to the words of their commander ldquoWe are going tocome out of this as Marines not as stragglers Wersquore going to bring out our woundedand our equipment Wersquore coming out as Marines or not at allrdquo Two more days offighting followed as the tired but determined Marines held off fierce enemy attacksWith the arrival of air cover on the third day the Marines were able to push back theChinese and make their escape

Conflict in KoreaBefore June 1950 few Americans knew much about Korea a small east Asian

803CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

The Soviet Union and the United States couldnot agree on how to unify Korea When thesetwo nations removed their forces in 1949 Korearemained divided Tensions between the twoKoreas were high

On June 24 1950 President Truman flew to his home in Independence Missouri for a briefvacation While sitting on his porch on a hotsummer night the president received a tele-phone call from Secretary of State Dean AchesonldquoMr Presidentrdquo Acheson said in a grim tone ldquoIhave very serious news The North Koreans haveinvaded South Koreardquo Truman knew this meantonly one thing the United States soon would beinvolved in military action in Asia

The Invasion of South KoreaAfter the American troops pulled out of South

Korea North Korea decided to unify the countryby force On June 25 1950 the armies of NorthKorea crossed the 38th parallel into South KoreaPoorly armed the South Koreans were no matchfor the North Within days the Communistforces had gained control over much of SouthKorea including Seoul the capital city

President Truman reacted quickly to theKorean invasion which he believed was sup-ported by the Soviet Union Without askingCongress to actually declare war Trumanordered the use of limited American air and seaforces in Korea He called this ldquopolice actionrdquonecessary to carry out Americarsquos policy of con-tainment Truman said

ldquoKorea is the Greece of the Far East If we aretough enough now if we stand up to them likewe did in Greece three years ago they wonrsquottake any next stepsrdquo

United Nations RespondsAt the same time President Truman asked the

UN to send forces to defend the South KoreansThe United Nations condemned the invasion ofSouth Korea and agreed to send a special forceto the region under the United Statesrsquos directionPresident Truman quickly appointed GeneralDouglas MacArthur a hero of World War II tocommand the UN forces

On June 30 just days after the North Koreaninvasion General MacArthur led Americantroops into Korea to stop the Communistadvance By the end of 1950 other nations weresupplying troops or other assistance to theAmerican-led war effort Even so Americansmade up the majority of troops throughout theKorean War

The United Nations had a clear but difficultgoalmdashpush the North Koreans back across the38th parallel When China intervened in the con-flict this goal changed causing Truman andMacArthur to clash over military strategy

Early Phases of the WarBy September 1950 North Korean forces had

pushed all the way to the southern tip of theKorean Peninsula Only a small area in thesoutheast around the port city of Pusan was stillheld by the South Korean army

After joining the South Koreans GeneralMacArthur designed a bold counterattackagainst North Korea In September UnitedNations forces made a daring landing midwayon the Korean Peninsula near the port ofInchon They took that strategic city and movedon to recapture Seoul

Meanwhile American and UN troops beganpushing north from Pusan By October 1 theNorth Koreans caught between UN forcesadvancing from both Seoul and Pusan wereforced to retreat north across the 38th parallelSouth Korea now came under the control of theUnited Nations forces

Taking the OffensiveEncouraged by this success General Mac-

Arthur urged President Truman to order aninvasion of North Korea He assured Trumanthat neither China nor the Soviet Union wouldenter the war to help North Korea and he prom-ised to have troops ldquohome by Christmasrdquo Tru-man sought and received approval from theUnited Nations to cross the 38th parallel invadethe North and create ldquoa unified independentand democratic Koreardquomdasha new goal for the war

After receiving these new orders MacArthurmoved his forces northward The UN forces cap-tured Pyongyang the North Korean capital onOctober 19 and then moved north toward theYalu River part of North Korearsquos border withChina Total victory seemed just days away

As the UN forces advanced the United Statesreceived a warning from the Chinese If theinvasion of North Korea continued Chinawould send in its army to support the NorthKoreans Believing the Chinese warning was abluff President Truman allowed MacArthur tocontinue moving north

The Chinese were not bluffing however Bylate October thousands of Chinese troops beganmassing along the border and some crossed theYalu River southward into North Korea OnNovember 26 huge numbers of Chinese troopslaunched an attack on United Nations forcesBadly outnumbered the UN forces retreatedsouth back across the 38th parallel Withinweeks the Communists had recaptured Seoul

American Leadership DividedBy January 1951 United Nations forces man-

Truman and MacArthur DisagreeAs the stalemate dragged on President Tru-

man began to consider negotiating an end to thefighting General MacArthur however arguedthat the UN forces should now attack Chinaeither by invading the country or by bombingChinese troops stationed in North Korea Tru-man opposed MacArthurrsquos plan fearing thatsuch actions would lead to a larger war withChina or escalate into another world war

In a letter to a member of Congress Mac-Arthur complained that he was being kept fromdoing his job ldquoWe must winrdquo he wrote ldquoThereis no substitute for victoryrdquo

On April 11 1951 President Truman relievedGeneral MacArthur of his command in Korea ldquoIcould do nothing else and still be president of theUnited Statesrdquo Truman concluded He wrote

ldquoIf I allowed him to defy the civil authoritiesin this manner I myself would be violating myoath to uphold and defend the Constitutionrdquo

MacArthurrsquos firing created a storm of protestin the United States The general was extremelypopular and polls showed that a majority ofAmericans supported him against the presidentMoreover MacArthur did not go quietly After receiving a herorsquos welcome on his return to theUnited States he delivered a farewell speech toCongress ldquoOld soldiers never dierdquo he saidldquothey just fade awayrdquo

Ending the ConflictThe two sides in the

Korean War begannegotiations in July1951 The talks lastedfor two years before acease-fire agreementwas signed on July 271953 during the presi-dency of Dwight Eisenhower This agreementending the war created a demilitarized zonemdasharegion where military forces could not entermdashbetween North and South Korea The zoneextended roughly a mile and a half on eitherside of the 38th parallel

The Korean War ended with neither sideachieving victory and almost no change in terri-tory Losses had been great More than 54000Americans died in the war and another 103000were wounded Nearly two million Koreans andChinese lost their lives and large portions ofNorth and South Korea were devastated

Americarsquos involvement in the Korean War senta clear message to the Soviet Union The UnitedStates was committed to fighting Communistexpansion with money arms and even lives Atthe same time the inability of the United States towin a clear victory contributed to uncertainty athome about the nationrsquos foreign policy

sabotage Stories of stolen government documents and spy rings gripped thecountry in the late 1940s Then in 1949 Americans learned that the Soviet Unionhad built its own atomic bomb

807CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

This Red Scare dominated the nationrsquos politicsfor years and led to a massive hunt to uncoverCommunists In this climate of fear few Ameri-cans were safe from accusations of disloyaltymdashnot even the president

Republican critics began accusing PresidentTruman of being too easy on Communists In1947 Truman responded by ordering an investi-gation into the loyalty of all federal employeesMillions of government workers had to undergosecurity checks and thousands were investi-gated by the FBI Although the investigationsfound little evidence of espionage many federalemployees lost their jobs

Loyalty Oaths and InvestigationsMany state and local governments colleges

and businesses began similar campaigns touncover communist subversion Some organiza-tions required individuals to sign oaths swearingtheir loyalty to the United States Those whorefused risked losing their jobs

In 1950 Congress passed the McCarran Actwhich required all Communist organizations toregister with the government and to providelists of members President Truman vetoed theact ldquoIn a free country we punish men for crimesthey commitrdquo he said ldquobut never for the opin-ions they holdrdquo Congress overrode his veto

In 1947 a congressional committee the HouseUn-American Activities Committee (HUAC)began investigating communist subversion inthe nation In widely publicized hearings thecommittee questioned people about their knowl-edge of Communists or Communist sympathiz-ers Individuals came under suspicion because ofthe beliefs of their friends or coworkersmdashguiltby association The committeersquos activities fueledan anti-Communist hysteria in the nation

HUAC launched a sensational investigationof the Hollywood film industry rumored to befull of Communists A number of those whowere summoned refused to testify and severalscreenwriters and directorsmdashthe ldquoHollywoodTenrdquomdashwent to jail for refusing to answer ques-tions about their political beliefs or those of theircolleagues Reacting to public and governmentpressure film companies created blacklistsmdash

lists of individuals whose loyalty was suspi-ciousmdashthat barred people from working in Hollywoodrsquos film industry

American Spies RevealedIn 1948 Whittaker Chambers a magazine

editor volunteered to testify before HUACAfter admitting that he had spied for the SovietUnion in the 1930s Chambers accused AlgerHiss a former State Department official of giv-ing him secret government documents in 1937and 1938 to pass on to the Soviets

Chambers produced secret State Departmentpapers he claimed were written by Hiss andmicrofilm of other secret documents Chambersswore that he had received the microfilm (whichwas hidden in a pumpkin) from Hiss Investiga-tors could not prosecute Hiss for spying becausetoo much time had passed since the events had occurred However he was found guilty ofperjury or lying and sent to prison

Margaret Chase Smithof Maine was the firstwoman to be elected toboth houses of Congress

First elected to theHouse in 1940 Smithmade many contributionsduring her four termsDuring World War II sheworked to improve theposition of women in themilitary She played amajor role in the passage

of a new law theWomenrsquos Armed ServicesIntegration Act (1948)that allowed women toserve as permanent regu-lar members of thenationrsquos military forces

Smith also served fourterms in the SenateNever afraid to speak outon the issues she wasone of the first to con-demn the tactics used by

Senator Joseph McCarthyin his crusade againstcommunism

In 1964 Smith was oneof the presidential nomi-nees at the RepublicanNational Conventionmaking her the firstwoman to have her nameplaced in nomination by amajor political party

The most dramatic spy case to come beforeHUAC involved the atomic bomb Julius andEthel Rosenberg a New York couple who weremembers of the Communist Party were accusedof plotting to pass secret information about theatomic bomb to the Soviet Union Brought totrial in 1951 the Rosenbergs were convicted andsentenced to death The judge in the casedeclared their crime ldquoworse than murderrdquo

Groups around the world protested the sen-tence as a gross injustice but higher courtsupheld the death sentence decision Executed in1953 the Rosenbergs maintained their inno-cence to the end and claimed that they were per-secuted because of their political beliefs

Explaining What did the McCarranAct require

McCarthyismFrom 1950 to 1954 the hunt for Communists

in America was dominated by Senator JosephMcCarthy of Wisconsin During those yearsMcCarthy publicly attacked many peopleallegedmdashdeclared without proofmdashto be Com-

munists His unfounded accusations destroyedthe careers of many innocent Americans andheightened the atmosphere of anti-Communisthysteria in the country A new word was coinedMcCarthyism which came to mean the use ofunproved accusations against political oppo-nents

Joseph McCarthy rose to national attentionalmost overnight In a speech in Wheeling WestVirginia in February 1950 he announced thatAmerica had been betrayed by the ldquotraitorousactionsrdquo of certain individuals Raising a sheetof paper he claimed to have in his hand a list of205 State Department employees who weremembers of the Communist Party Millions ofAmericans believed McCarthyrsquos charges

During the next four years McCarthy contin-ued to accuse government officials and others ofbeing Communists His congressional subcom-mittee attacked and bullied the people it calledto testify Many federal employees resigned orwere dismissed as a result of McCarthyrsquos inves-tigations

Even the most powerful government officialshesitated to oppose him McCarthy often targetedDemocrats He and his Republican colleagues in

Congress saw anticommunism as an importantissue to use against the Democratic Party SomeRepublican candidates for Congress includingRichard Nixon successfully smeared their oppo-nents with charges of being soft on communismSuch tactics worked because so many Americansfeared the threat of communism

McCarthyrsquos DownfallIn 1954 McCarthy launched an investigation

of the United States Army He made alarmingclaims that Communists had infiltrated the mili-tary In a series of televised hearings watched bymillions of Americans McCarthy hurled wildaccusations at highly respected army officials

The televised Army-McCarthy Hearingsproved the turning point in the McCarthy inves-tigations For weeks Americans witnessedMcCarthyrsquos sneering and cruel attacks Towardthe end of the hearings Joseph Welch an attor-ney for the army said to McCarthy

ldquoUntil this moment Senator I think I neverreally gauged your cruelty or your recklessness Have you left no sense of decencyrdquo

Many Americans now came to viewMcCarthy as a cruel bully who had little basisfor his accusations Congress also turned againstMcCarthy In December 1954 the Senate votedto censure or formally criticize him for ldquocon-duct unbecoming a senatorrdquo Censure and the

on to the president and other foreign-policydecision makers The CIA uses its own secretagents paid informers and friendly govern-ments to collect such information

Many Americans feared that the CIA wouldbe used to spy on American citizens Trumanhowever promised that the new agency wouldoperate only in foreign lands and would notbring ldquopolice state methodsrdquo into Americansociety The CIA was so successful that in 1949Congress gave that agency the right to receiveexchange and spend money without givingaccount to Congress

The Election of 1948As the 1948 presidential election approached

Truman appeared to be the underdog Continu-ing economic problems made the presidentunpopular with many Americans and his lackof success in winning passage of domesticreforms made Trumanrsquos administration lookweak and ineffective

Divisions within the Democratic Party alsoincreased the chances of an easy Republican vic-tory At the partyrsquos national convention a groupof Southern Democrats walked out to protestTrumanrsquos support for civil rights legislation TheSouthern Democrats formed the Statesrsquo RightsDemocratic Party or Dixiecrats and nominatedGovernor Strom Thurmond of South Carolinafor president At the same time some liberalmembers of the Democratic Party left to formthe Progressive Party with Henry Wallace astheir nominee for president Wallace opposedTrumanrsquos foreign policy and called for closer tiesbetween the United States and the Soviet Union

Dewey Leads PollsWith the Democrats badly divided it looked

as though Governor Thomas Dewey of NewYork the Republican nominee would surelywin the election Opinion polls showed Deweywith a huge lead One pollster remarked ldquoMrDewey is still so clearly ahead that we might justas well get ready to listen to his inauguralrdquo

Landmark Legislation With roughly 8 million citizens in uniform in 1945and 22 million involved in war production the GIBill helped guide a wartime economy smoothlyback into a peacetime economy

ldquoMore than 2250000 American veterans of WWIIreceived at least part of their college education as aresult of legislation known as the GI Billrdquo ndashMichael D Haydock historian

Truman campaigned aggressively Travelingmore than 30000 miles (48000 km) by train on a ldquowhistle-stoprdquo tour of the country he gavesome 250 speeches along the way In town aftertown he sharply attacked what he called ldquothat do-nothing good-for-nothing worst Congressrdquofor rejecting his Fair Deal legislation

Truman Stages an UpsetOn Election Day experts still expected Dewey

to win Expectations for a Republican victorywere so great that on the evening of the elec-tionmdashbefore many votes were countedmdashtheChicago Daily Tribune newspaper issued a specialedition announcing ldquoDewey Defeats Trumanrdquo

The nation was in for a great surprise Whenall the ballots were counted Truman had edgedout Dewey by more than two million votes in anarrow upset victory Democrats also regainedcontrol of both the House of Representativesand the Senate in the election

Analyzing Why was the outcome ofthe 1948 presidential election a surprise

A Fair Deal for AmericansTruman took the election results as a sign that

Americans wanted reform He quickly reintro-duced the Fair Deal legislation he had presented to Congress in 1945 Some of thesereform measures passed but his plan lackedbroad support and Congress defeated most ofthe measures Congress did pass laws to raisethe minimum wage expand Social Security ben-efits for senior citizens and provide funds forhousing for low-income families

CitizenshipA Stand on Civil Rights

In a message to Congress in 1948 PresidentTruman declared

ldquoWe shall not however finally achieve theideals for which this nation was founded so longas any American suffers discrimination as aresult of his race or religion or color or theland of origin of his forefathersrdquo

Korea North Korea decided to unify the countryby force On June 25 1950 the armies of NorthKorea crossed the 38th parallel into South KoreaPoorly armed the South Koreans were no matchfor the North Within days the Communistforces had gained control over much of SouthKorea including Seoul the capital city

President Truman reacted quickly to theKorean invasion which he believed was sup-ported by the Soviet Union Without askingCongress to actually declare war Trumanordered the use of limited American air and seaforces in Korea He called this ldquopolice actionrdquonecessary to carry out Americarsquos policy of con-tainment Truman said

ldquoKorea is the Greece of the Far East If we aretough enough now if we stand up to them likewe did in Greece three years ago they wonrsquottake any next stepsrdquo

United Nations RespondsAt the same time President Truman asked the

UN to send forces to defend the South KoreansThe United Nations condemned the invasion ofSouth Korea and agreed to send a special forceto the region under the United Statesrsquos directionPresident Truman quickly appointed GeneralDouglas MacArthur a hero of World War II tocommand the UN forces

On June 30 just days after the North Koreaninvasion General MacArthur led Americantroops into Korea to stop the Communistadvance By the end of 1950 other nations weresupplying troops or other assistance to theAmerican-led war effort Even so Americansmade up the majority of troops throughout theKorean War

The United Nations had a clear but difficultgoalmdashpush the North Koreans back across the38th parallel When China intervened in the con-flict this goal changed causing Truman andMacArthur to clash over military strategy

Early Phases of the WarBy September 1950 North Korean forces had

pushed all the way to the southern tip of theKorean Peninsula Only a small area in thesoutheast around the port city of Pusan was stillheld by the South Korean army

After joining the South Koreans GeneralMacArthur designed a bold counterattackagainst North Korea In September UnitedNations forces made a daring landing midwayon the Korean Peninsula near the port ofInchon They took that strategic city and movedon to recapture Seoul

Meanwhile American and UN troops beganpushing north from Pusan By October 1 theNorth Koreans caught between UN forcesadvancing from both Seoul and Pusan wereforced to retreat north across the 38th parallelSouth Korea now came under the control of theUnited Nations forces

Taking the OffensiveEncouraged by this success General Mac-

Arthur urged President Truman to order aninvasion of North Korea He assured Trumanthat neither China nor the Soviet Union wouldenter the war to help North Korea and he prom-ised to have troops ldquohome by Christmasrdquo Tru-man sought and received approval from theUnited Nations to cross the 38th parallel invadethe North and create ldquoa unified independentand democratic Koreardquomdasha new goal for the war

After receiving these new orders MacArthurmoved his forces northward The UN forces cap-tured Pyongyang the North Korean capital onOctober 19 and then moved north toward theYalu River part of North Korearsquos border withChina Total victory seemed just days away

As the UN forces advanced the United Statesreceived a warning from the Chinese If theinvasion of North Korea continued Chinawould send in its army to support the NorthKoreans Believing the Chinese warning was abluff President Truman allowed MacArthur tocontinue moving north

The Chinese were not bluffing however Bylate October thousands of Chinese troops beganmassing along the border and some crossed theYalu River southward into North Korea OnNovember 26 huge numbers of Chinese troopslaunched an attack on United Nations forcesBadly outnumbered the UN forces retreatedsouth back across the 38th parallel Withinweeks the Communists had recaptured Seoul

American Leadership DividedBy January 1951 United Nations forces man-

aged to stop their retreat Launching a coun-teroffensive they retook Seoul and pushed theCommunists back across the 38th parallel Thewar now became a stalemate a situation inwhich neither side was able to gain muchground or achieve a decisive victory The stale-mate lasted for almost two years with much bitter fighting along the 38th parallel

Truman and MacArthur DisagreeAs the stalemate dragged on President Tru-

man began to consider negotiating an end to thefighting General MacArthur however arguedthat the UN forces should now attack Chinaeither by invading the country or by bombingChinese troops stationed in North Korea Tru-man opposed MacArthurrsquos plan fearing thatsuch actions would lead to a larger war withChina or escalate into another world war

In a letter to a member of Congress Mac-Arthur complained that he was being kept fromdoing his job ldquoWe must winrdquo he wrote ldquoThereis no substitute for victoryrdquo

On April 11 1951 President Truman relievedGeneral MacArthur of his command in Korea ldquoIcould do nothing else and still be president of theUnited Statesrdquo Truman concluded He wrote

ldquoIf I allowed him to defy the civil authoritiesin this manner I myself would be violating myoath to uphold and defend the Constitutionrdquo

MacArthurrsquos firing created a storm of protestin the United States The general was extremelypopular and polls showed that a majority ofAmericans supported him against the presidentMoreover MacArthur did not go quietly After receiving a herorsquos welcome on his return to theUnited States he delivered a farewell speech toCongress ldquoOld soldiers never dierdquo he saidldquothey just fade awayrdquo

Ending the ConflictThe two sides in the

Korean War begannegotiations in July1951 The talks lastedfor two years before acease-fire agreementwas signed on July 271953 during the presi-dency of Dwight Eisenhower This agreementending the war created a demilitarized zonemdasharegion where military forces could not entermdashbetween North and South Korea The zoneextended roughly a mile and a half on eitherside of the 38th parallel

The Korean War ended with neither sideachieving victory and almost no change in terri-tory Losses had been great More than 54000Americans died in the war and another 103000were wounded Nearly two million Koreans andChinese lost their lives and large portions ofNorth and South Korea were devastated

Americarsquos involvement in the Korean War senta clear message to the Soviet Union The UnitedStates was committed to fighting Communistexpansion with money arms and even lives Atthe same time the inability of the United States towin a clear victory contributed to uncertainty athome about the nationrsquos foreign policy

This Red Scare dominated the nationrsquos politicsfor years and led to a massive hunt to uncoverCommunists In this climate of fear few Ameri-cans were safe from accusations of disloyaltymdashnot even the president

Republican critics began accusing PresidentTruman of being too easy on Communists In1947 Truman responded by ordering an investi-gation into the loyalty of all federal employeesMillions of government workers had to undergosecurity checks and thousands were investi-gated by the FBI Although the investigationsfound little evidence of espionage many federalemployees lost their jobs

Loyalty Oaths and InvestigationsMany state and local governments colleges

and businesses began similar campaigns touncover communist subversion Some organiza-tions required individuals to sign oaths swearingtheir loyalty to the United States Those whorefused risked losing their jobs

In 1950 Congress passed the McCarran Actwhich required all Communist organizations toregister with the government and to providelists of members President Truman vetoed theact ldquoIn a free country we punish men for crimesthey commitrdquo he said ldquobut never for the opin-ions they holdrdquo Congress overrode his veto

In 1947 a congressional committee the HouseUn-American Activities Committee (HUAC)began investigating communist subversion inthe nation In widely publicized hearings thecommittee questioned people about their knowl-edge of Communists or Communist sympathiz-ers Individuals came under suspicion because ofthe beliefs of their friends or coworkersmdashguiltby association The committeersquos activities fueledan anti-Communist hysteria in the nation

HUAC launched a sensational investigationof the Hollywood film industry rumored to befull of Communists A number of those whowere summoned refused to testify and severalscreenwriters and directorsmdashthe ldquoHollywoodTenrdquomdashwent to jail for refusing to answer ques-tions about their political beliefs or those of theircolleagues Reacting to public and governmentpressure film companies created blacklistsmdash

lists of individuals whose loyalty was suspi-ciousmdashthat barred people from working in Hollywoodrsquos film industry

American Spies RevealedIn 1948 Whittaker Chambers a magazine

editor volunteered to testify before HUACAfter admitting that he had spied for the SovietUnion in the 1930s Chambers accused AlgerHiss a former State Department official of giv-ing him secret government documents in 1937and 1938 to pass on to the Soviets

Chambers produced secret State Departmentpapers he claimed were written by Hiss andmicrofilm of other secret documents Chambersswore that he had received the microfilm (whichwas hidden in a pumpkin) from Hiss Investiga-tors could not prosecute Hiss for spying becausetoo much time had passed since the events had occurred However he was found guilty ofperjury or lying and sent to prison

Margaret Chase Smithof Maine was the firstwoman to be elected toboth houses of Congress

First elected to theHouse in 1940 Smithmade many contributionsduring her four termsDuring World War II sheworked to improve theposition of women in themilitary She played amajor role in the passage

of a new law theWomenrsquos Armed ServicesIntegration Act (1948)that allowed women toserve as permanent regu-lar members of thenationrsquos military forces

Smith also served fourterms in the SenateNever afraid to speak outon the issues she wasone of the first to con-demn the tactics used by

Senator Joseph McCarthyin his crusade againstcommunism

In 1964 Smith was oneof the presidential nomi-nees at the RepublicanNational Conventionmaking her the firstwoman to have her nameplaced in nomination by amajor political party

The most dramatic spy case to come beforeHUAC involved the atomic bomb Julius andEthel Rosenberg a New York couple who weremembers of the Communist Party were accusedof plotting to pass secret information about theatomic bomb to the Soviet Union Brought totrial in 1951 the Rosenbergs were convicted andsentenced to death The judge in the casedeclared their crime ldquoworse than murderrdquo

Groups around the world protested the sen-tence as a gross injustice but higher courtsupheld the death sentence decision Executed in1953 the Rosenbergs maintained their inno-cence to the end and claimed that they were per-secuted because of their political beliefs

Explaining What did the McCarranAct require

McCarthyismFrom 1950 to 1954 the hunt for Communists

in America was dominated by Senator JosephMcCarthy of Wisconsin During those yearsMcCarthy publicly attacked many peopleallegedmdashdeclared without proofmdashto be Com-

munists His unfounded accusations destroyedthe careers of many innocent Americans andheightened the atmosphere of anti-Communisthysteria in the country A new word was coinedMcCarthyism which came to mean the use ofunproved accusations against political oppo-nents

Joseph McCarthy rose to national attentionalmost overnight In a speech in Wheeling WestVirginia in February 1950 he announced thatAmerica had been betrayed by the ldquotraitorousactionsrdquo of certain individuals Raising a sheetof paper he claimed to have in his hand a list of205 State Department employees who weremembers of the Communist Party Millions ofAmericans believed McCarthyrsquos charges

During the next four years McCarthy contin-ued to accuse government officials and others ofbeing Communists His congressional subcom-mittee attacked and bullied the people it calledto testify Many federal employees resigned orwere dismissed as a result of McCarthyrsquos inves-tigations

Even the most powerful government officialshesitated to oppose him McCarthy often targetedDemocrats He and his Republican colleagues in

Congress saw anticommunism as an importantissue to use against the Democratic Party SomeRepublican candidates for Congress includingRichard Nixon successfully smeared their oppo-nents with charges of being soft on communismSuch tactics worked because so many Americansfeared the threat of communism

McCarthyrsquos DownfallIn 1954 McCarthy launched an investigation

of the United States Army He made alarmingclaims that Communists had infiltrated the mili-tary In a series of televised hearings watched bymillions of Americans McCarthy hurled wildaccusations at highly respected army officials

The televised Army-McCarthy Hearingsproved the turning point in the McCarthy inves-tigations For weeks Americans witnessedMcCarthyrsquos sneering and cruel attacks Towardthe end of the hearings Joseph Welch an attor-ney for the army said to McCarthy

ldquoUntil this moment Senator I think I neverreally gauged your cruelty or your recklessness Have you left no sense of decencyrdquo

Many Americans now came to viewMcCarthy as a cruel bully who had little basisfor his accusations Congress also turned againstMcCarthy In December 1954 the Senate votedto censure or formally criticize him for ldquocon-duct unbecoming a senatorrdquo Censure and the

Thurmond States Rights

Truman campaigned aggressively Travelingmore than 30000 miles (48000 km) by train on a ldquowhistle-stoprdquo tour of the country he gavesome 250 speeches along the way In town aftertown he sharply attacked what he called ldquothat do-nothing good-for-nothing worst Congressrdquofor rejecting his Fair Deal legislation

Truman Stages an UpsetOn Election Day experts still expected Dewey

to win Expectations for a Republican victorywere so great that on the evening of the elec-tionmdashbefore many votes were countedmdashtheChicago Daily Tribune newspaper issued a specialedition announcing ldquoDewey Defeats Trumanrdquo

The nation was in for a great surprise Whenall the ballots were counted Truman had edgedout Dewey by more than two million votes in anarrow upset victory Democrats also regainedcontrol of both the House of Representativesand the Senate in the election

Analyzing Why was the outcome ofthe 1948 presidential election a surprise

A Fair Deal for AmericansTruman took the election results as a sign that

Americans wanted reform He quickly reintro-duced the Fair Deal legislation he had presented to Congress in 1945 Some of thesereform measures passed but his plan lackedbroad support and Congress defeated most ofthe measures Congress did pass laws to raisethe minimum wage expand Social Security ben-efits for senior citizens and provide funds forhousing for low-income families

CitizenshipA Stand on Civil Rights

In a message to Congress in 1948 PresidentTruman declared

ldquoWe shall not however finally achieve theideals for which this nation was founded so longas any American suffers discrimination as aresult of his race or religion or color or theland of origin of his forefathersrdquo

803CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

The Soviet Union and the United States couldnot agree on how to unify Korea When thesetwo nations removed their forces in 1949 Korearemained divided Tensions between the twoKoreas were high

On June 24 1950 President Truman flew to his home in Independence Missouri for a briefvacation While sitting on his porch on a hotsummer night the president received a tele-phone call from Secretary of State Dean AchesonldquoMr Presidentrdquo Acheson said in a grim tone ldquoIhave very serious news The North Koreans haveinvaded South Koreardquo Truman knew this meantonly one thing the United States soon would beinvolved in military action in Asia

The Invasion of South KoreaAfter the American troops pulled out of South

Korea North Korea decided to unify the countryby force On June 25 1950 the armies of NorthKorea crossed the 38th parallel into South KoreaPoorly armed the South Koreans were no matchfor the North Within days the Communistforces had gained control over much of SouthKorea including Seoul the capital city

President Truman reacted quickly to theKorean invasion which he believed was sup-ported by the Soviet Union Without askingCongress to actually declare war Trumanordered the use of limited American air and seaforces in Korea He called this ldquopolice actionrdquonecessary to carry out Americarsquos policy of con-tainment Truman said

ldquoKorea is the Greece of the Far East If we aretough enough now if we stand up to them likewe did in Greece three years ago they wonrsquottake any next stepsrdquo

United Nations RespondsAt the same time President Truman asked the

UN to send forces to defend the South KoreansThe United Nations condemned the invasion ofSouth Korea and agreed to send a special forceto the region under the United Statesrsquos directionPresident Truman quickly appointed GeneralDouglas MacArthur a hero of World War II tocommand the UN forces

On June 30 just days after the North Koreaninvasion General MacArthur led Americantroops into Korea to stop the Communistadvance By the end of 1950 other nations weresupplying troops or other assistance to theAmerican-led war effort Even so Americansmade up the majority of troops throughout theKorean War

The United Nations had a clear but difficultgoalmdashpush the North Koreans back across the38th parallel When China intervened in the con-flict this goal changed causing Truman andMacArthur to clash over military strategy

Early Phases of the WarBy September 1950 North Korean forces had

pushed all the way to the southern tip of theKorean Peninsula Only a small area in thesoutheast around the port city of Pusan was stillheld by the South Korean army

After joining the South Koreans GeneralMacArthur designed a bold counterattackagainst North Korea In September UnitedNations forces made a daring landing midwayon the Korean Peninsula near the port ofInchon They took that strategic city and movedon to recapture Seoul

Meanwhile American and UN troops beganpushing north from Pusan By October 1 theNorth Koreans caught between UN forcesadvancing from both Seoul and Pusan wereforced to retreat north across the 38th parallelSouth Korea now came under the control of theUnited Nations forces

Taking the OffensiveEncouraged by this success General Mac-

Arthur urged President Truman to order aninvasion of North Korea He assured Trumanthat neither China nor the Soviet Union wouldenter the war to help North Korea and he prom-ised to have troops ldquohome by Christmasrdquo Tru-man sought and received approval from theUnited Nations to cross the 38th parallel invadethe North and create ldquoa unified independentand democratic Koreardquomdasha new goal for the war

After receiving these new orders MacArthurmoved his forces northward The UN forces cap-tured Pyongyang the North Korean capital onOctober 19 and then moved north toward theYalu River part of North Korearsquos border withChina Total victory seemed just days away

As the UN forces advanced the United Statesreceived a warning from the Chinese If theinvasion of North Korea continued Chinawould send in its army to support the NorthKoreans Believing the Chinese warning was abluff President Truman allowed MacArthur tocontinue moving north

The Chinese were not bluffing however Bylate October thousands of Chinese troops beganmassing along the border and some crossed theYalu River southward into North Korea OnNovember 26 huge numbers of Chinese troopslaunched an attack on United Nations forcesBadly outnumbered the UN forces retreatedsouth back across the 38th parallel Withinweeks the Communists had recaptured Seoul

American Leadership DividedBy January 1951 United Nations forces man-

aged to stop their retreat Launching a coun-teroffensive they retook Seoul and pushed theCommunists back across the 38th parallel Thewar now became a stalemate a situation inwhich neither side was able to gain muchground or achieve a decisive victory The stale-mate lasted for almost two years with much bitter fighting along the 38th parallel

Truman and MacArthur DisagreeAs the stalemate dragged on President Tru-

man began to consider negotiating an end to thefighting General MacArthur however arguedthat the UN forces should now attack Chinaeither by invading the country or by bombingChinese troops stationed in North Korea Tru-man opposed MacArthurrsquos plan fearing thatsuch actions would lead to a larger war withChina or escalate into another world war

In a letter to a member of Congress Mac-Arthur complained that he was being kept fromdoing his job ldquoWe must winrdquo he wrote ldquoThereis no substitute for victoryrdquo

On April 11 1951 President Truman relievedGeneral MacArthur of his command in Korea ldquoIcould do nothing else and still be president of theUnited Statesrdquo Truman concluded He wrote

ldquoIf I allowed him to defy the civil authoritiesin this manner I myself would be violating myoath to uphold and defend the Constitutionrdquo

MacArthurrsquos firing created a storm of protestin the United States The general was extremelypopular and polls showed that a majority ofAmericans supported him against the presidentMoreover MacArthur did not go quietly After receiving a herorsquos welcome on his return to theUnited States he delivered a farewell speech toCongress ldquoOld soldiers never dierdquo he saidldquothey just fade awayrdquo

Ending the ConflictThe two sides in the

Korean War begannegotiations in July1951 The talks lastedfor two years before acease-fire agreementwas signed on July 271953 during the presi-dency of Dwight Eisenhower This agreementending the war created a demilitarized zonemdasharegion where military forces could not entermdashbetween North and South Korea The zoneextended roughly a mile and a half on eitherside of the 38th parallel

The Korean War ended with neither sideachieving victory and almost no change in terri-tory Losses had been great More than 54000Americans died in the war and another 103000were wounded Nearly two million Koreans andChinese lost their lives and large portions ofNorth and South Korea were devastated

Americarsquos involvement in the Korean War senta clear message to the Soviet Union The UnitedStates was committed to fighting Communistexpansion with money arms and even lives Atthe same time the inability of the United States towin a clear victory contributed to uncertainty athome about the nationrsquos foreign policy

sabotage Stories of stolen government documents and spy rings gripped thecountry in the late 1940s Then in 1949 Americans learned that the Soviet Unionhad built its own atomic bomb

This Red Scare dominated the nationrsquos politicsfor years and led to a massive hunt to uncoverCommunists In this climate of fear few Ameri-cans were safe from accusations of disloyaltymdashnot even the president

Republican critics began accusing PresidentTruman of being too easy on Communists In1947 Truman responded by ordering an investi-gation into the loyalty of all federal employeesMillions of government workers had to undergosecurity checks and thousands were investi-gated by the FBI Although the investigationsfound little evidence of espionage many federalemployees lost their jobs

Loyalty Oaths and InvestigationsMany state and local governments colleges

and businesses began similar campaigns touncover communist subversion Some organiza-tions required individuals to sign oaths swearingtheir loyalty to the United States Those whorefused risked losing their jobs

In 1950 Congress passed the McCarran Actwhich required all Communist organizations toregister with the government and to providelists of members President Truman vetoed theact ldquoIn a free country we punish men for crimesthey commitrdquo he said ldquobut never for the opin-ions they holdrdquo Congress overrode his veto

In 1947 a congressional committee the HouseUn-American Activities Committee (HUAC)began investigating communist subversion inthe nation In widely publicized hearings thecommittee questioned people about their knowl-edge of Communists or Communist sympathiz-ers Individuals came under suspicion because ofthe beliefs of their friends or coworkersmdashguiltby association The committeersquos activities fueledan anti-Communist hysteria in the nation

HUAC launched a sensational investigationof the Hollywood film industry rumored to befull of Communists A number of those whowere summoned refused to testify and severalscreenwriters and directorsmdashthe ldquoHollywoodTenrdquomdashwent to jail for refusing to answer ques-tions about their political beliefs or those of theircolleagues Reacting to public and governmentpressure film companies created blacklistsmdash

lists of individuals whose loyalty was suspi-ciousmdashthat barred people from working in Hollywoodrsquos film industry

American Spies RevealedIn 1948 Whittaker Chambers a magazine

editor volunteered to testify before HUACAfter admitting that he had spied for the SovietUnion in the 1930s Chambers accused AlgerHiss a former State Department official of giv-ing him secret government documents in 1937and 1938 to pass on to the Soviets

Chambers produced secret State Departmentpapers he claimed were written by Hiss andmicrofilm of other secret documents Chambersswore that he had received the microfilm (whichwas hidden in a pumpkin) from Hiss Investiga-tors could not prosecute Hiss for spying becausetoo much time had passed since the events had occurred However he was found guilty ofperjury or lying and sent to prison

First elected to theHouse in 1940 Smithmade many contributionsduring her four termsDuring World War II sheworked to improve theposition of women in themilitary She played amajor role in the passage

of a new law theWomenrsquos Armed ServicesIntegration Act (1948)that allowed women toserve as permanent regu-lar members of thenationrsquos military forces

Smith also served fourterms in the SenateNever afraid to speak outon the issues she wasone of the first to con-demn the tactics used by

Senator Joseph McCarthyin his crusade againstcommunism

In 1964 Smith was oneof the presidential nomi-nees at the RepublicanNational Conventionmaking her the firstwoman to have her nameplaced in nomination by amajor political party

The most dramatic spy case to come beforeHUAC involved the atomic bomb Julius andEthel Rosenberg a New York couple who weremembers of the Communist Party were accusedof plotting to pass secret information about theatomic bomb to the Soviet Union Brought totrial in 1951 the Rosenbergs were convicted andsentenced to death The judge in the casedeclared their crime ldquoworse than murderrdquo

Groups around the world protested the sen-tence as a gross injustice but higher courtsupheld the death sentence decision Executed in1953 the Rosenbergs maintained their inno-cence to the end and claimed that they were per-secuted because of their political beliefs

Explaining What did the McCarranAct require

McCarthyismFrom 1950 to 1954 the hunt for Communists

in America was dominated by Senator JosephMcCarthy of Wisconsin During those yearsMcCarthy publicly attacked many peopleallegedmdashdeclared without proofmdashto be Com-

munists His unfounded accusations destroyedthe careers of many innocent Americans andheightened the atmosphere of anti-Communisthysteria in the country A new word was coinedMcCarthyism which came to mean the use ofunproved accusations against political oppo-nents

Joseph McCarthy rose to national attentionalmost overnight In a speech in Wheeling WestVirginia in February 1950 he announced thatAmerica had been betrayed by the ldquotraitorousactionsrdquo of certain individuals Raising a sheetof paper he claimed to have in his hand a list of205 State Department employees who weremembers of the Communist Party Millions ofAmericans believed McCarthyrsquos charges

During the next four years McCarthy contin-ued to accuse government officials and others ofbeing Communists His congressional subcom-mittee attacked and bullied the people it calledto testify Many federal employees resigned orwere dismissed as a result of McCarthyrsquos inves-tigations

Even the most powerful government officialshesitated to oppose him McCarthy often targetedDemocrats He and his Republican colleagues in

Congress saw anticommunism as an importantissue to use against the Democratic Party SomeRepublican candidates for Congress includingRichard Nixon successfully smeared their oppo-nents with charges of being soft on communismSuch tactics worked because so many Americansfeared the threat of communism

McCarthyrsquos DownfallIn 1954 McCarthy launched an investigation

of the United States Army He made alarmingclaims that Communists had infiltrated the mili-tary In a series of televised hearings watched bymillions of Americans McCarthy hurled wildaccusations at highly respected army officials

The televised Army-McCarthy Hearingsproved the turning point in the McCarthy inves-tigations For weeks Americans witnessedMcCarthyrsquos sneering and cruel attacks Towardthe end of the hearings Joseph Welch an attor-ney for the army said to McCarthy

ldquoUntil this moment Senator I think I neverreally gauged your cruelty or your recklessness Have you left no sense of decencyrdquo

Many Americans now came to viewMcCarthy as a cruel bully who had little basisfor his accusations Congress also turned againstMcCarthy In December 1954 the Senate votedto censure or formally criticize him for ldquocon-duct unbecoming a senatorrdquo Censure and the

CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

The bitter wind stung the raw faces of 12 US Marine officers They had just foughtfor five bloody days to lead their troops out of a Chinese trap in the icy wastes of north-east Korea Now they listened to the words of their commander ldquoWe are going tocome out of this as Marines not as stragglers Wersquore going to bring out our woundedand our equipment Wersquore coming out as Marines or not at allrdquo Two more days offighting followed as the tired but determined Marines held off fierce enemy attacksWith the arrival of air cover on the third day the Marines were able to push back theChinese and make their escape

Conflict in KoreaBefore June 1950 few Americans knew much about Korea a small east Asian

country located on the Korean Peninsula west of Japan In 1945 Korea was acolony of Japan At the end of World War II Japan was stripped of its territorialpossessions The United States and the Soviet Union both sent troops into Koreaand agreed to occupy it temporarily They divided the peninsula in half alongthe 38th parallel of latitude with the Soviets controlling North Korea and theAmericans controlling South Korea

803CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

The Soviet Union and the United States couldnot agree on how to unify Korea When thesetwo nations removed their forces in 1949 Korearemained divided Tensions between the twoKoreas were high

On June 24 1950 President Truman flew to his home in Independence Missouri for a briefvacation While sitting on his porch on a hotsummer night the president received a tele-phone call from Secretary of State Dean AchesonldquoMr Presidentrdquo Acheson said in a grim tone ldquoIhave very serious news The North Koreans haveinvaded South Koreardquo Truman knew this meantonly one thing the United States soon would beinvolved in military action in Asia

The Invasion of South KoreaAfter the American troops pulled out of South

Korea North Korea decided to unify the countryby force On June 25 1950 the armies of NorthKorea crossed the 38th parallel into South KoreaPoorly armed the South Koreans were no matchfor the North Within days the Communistforces had gained control over much of SouthKorea including Seoul the capital city

President Truman reacted quickly to theKorean invasion which he believed was sup-ported by the Soviet Union Without askingCongress to actually declare war Trumanordered the use of limited American air and seaforces in Korea He called this ldquopolice actionrdquonecessary to carry out Americarsquos policy of con-tainment Truman said

ldquoKorea is the Greece of the Far East If we aretough enough now if we stand up to them likewe did in Greece three years ago they wonrsquottake any next stepsrdquo

United Nations RespondsAt the same time President Truman asked the

UN to send forces to defend the South KoreansThe United Nations condemned the invasion ofSouth Korea and agreed to send a special forceto the region under the United Statesrsquos directionPresident Truman quickly appointed GeneralDouglas MacArthur a hero of World War II tocommand the UN forces

On June 30 just days after the North Koreaninvasion General MacArthur led Americantroops into Korea to stop the Communistadvance By the end of 1950 other nations weresupplying troops or other assistance to theAmerican-led war effort Even so Americansmade up the majority of troops throughout theKorean War

The United Nations had a clear but difficultgoalmdashpush the North Koreans back across the38th parallel When China intervened in the con-flict this goal changed causing Truman andMacArthur to clash over military strategy

Early Phases of the WarBy September 1950 North Korean forces had

pushed all the way to the southern tip of theKorean Peninsula Only a small area in thesoutheast around the port city of Pusan was stillheld by the South Korean army

After joining the South Koreans GeneralMacArthur designed a bold counterattackagainst North Korea In September UnitedNations forces made a daring landing midwayon the Korean Peninsula near the port ofInchon They took that strategic city and movedon to recapture Seoul

Meanwhile American and UN troops beganpushing north from Pusan By October 1 theNorth Koreans caught between UN forcesadvancing from both Seoul and Pusan wereforced to retreat north across the 38th parallelSouth Korea now came under the control of theUnited Nations forces

Taking the OffensiveEncouraged by this success General Mac-

Arthur urged President Truman to order aninvasion of North Korea He assured Trumanthat neither China nor the Soviet Union wouldenter the war to help North Korea and he prom-ised to have troops ldquohome by Christmasrdquo Tru-man sought and received approval from theUnited Nations to cross the 38th parallel invadethe North and create ldquoa unified independentand democratic Koreardquomdasha new goal for the war

After receiving these new orders MacArthurmoved his forces northward The UN forces cap-tured Pyongyang the North Korean capital onOctober 19 and then moved north toward theYalu River part of North Korearsquos border withChina Total victory seemed just days away

As the UN forces advanced the United Statesreceived a warning from the Chinese If theinvasion of North Korea continued Chinawould send in its army to support the NorthKoreans Believing the Chinese warning was abluff President Truman allowed MacArthur tocontinue moving north

The Chinese were not bluffing however Bylate October thousands of Chinese troops beganmassing along the border and some crossed theYalu River southward into North Korea OnNovember 26 huge numbers of Chinese troopslaunched an attack on United Nations forcesBadly outnumbered the UN forces retreatedsouth back across the 38th parallel Withinweeks the Communists had recaptured Seoul

Describing What line separatedNorth from South Korea

American Leadership DividedBy January 1951 United Nations forces man-

aged to stop their retreat Launching a coun-teroffensive they retook Seoul and pushed theCommunists back across the 38th parallel Thewar now became a stalemate a situation inwhich neither side was able to gain muchground or achieve a decisive victory The stale-mate lasted for almost two years with much bitter fighting along the 38th parallel

Truman and MacArthur DisagreeAs the stalemate dragged on President Tru-

man began to consider negotiating an end to thefighting General MacArthur however arguedthat the UN forces should now attack Chinaeither by invading the country or by bombingChinese troops stationed in North Korea Tru-man opposed MacArthurrsquos plan fearing thatsuch actions would lead to a larger war withChina or escalate into another world war

In a letter to a member of Congress Mac-Arthur complained that he was being kept fromdoing his job ldquoWe must winrdquo he wrote ldquoThereis no substitute for victoryrdquo

On April 11 1951 President Truman relievedGeneral MacArthur of his command in Korea ldquoIcould do nothing else and still be president of theUnited Statesrdquo Truman concluded He wrote

ldquoIf I allowed him to defy the civil authoritiesin this manner I myself would be violating myoath to uphold and defend the Constitutionrdquo

MacArthurrsquos firing created a storm of protestin the United States The general was extremelypopular and polls showed that a majority ofAmericans supported him against the presidentMoreover MacArthur did not go quietly After receiving a herorsquos welcome on his return to theUnited States he delivered a farewell speech toCongress ldquoOld soldiers never dierdquo he saidldquothey just fade awayrdquo

Ending the ConflictThe two sides in the

Korean War begannegotiations in July1951 The talks lastedfor two years before acease-fire agreementwas signed on July 271953 during the presi-dency of Dwight Eisenhower This agreementending the war created a demilitarized zonemdasharegion where military forces could not entermdashbetween North and South Korea The zoneextended roughly a mile and a half on eitherside of the 38th parallel

The Korean War ended with neither sideachieving victory and almost no change in terri-tory Losses had been great More than 54000Americans died in the war and another 103000were wounded Nearly two million Koreans andChinese lost their lives and large portions ofNorth and South Korea were devastated

Americarsquos involvement in the Korean War senta clear message to the Soviet Union The UnitedStates was committed to fighting Communistexpansion with money arms and even lives Atthe same time the inability of the United States towin a clear victory contributed to uncertainty athome about the nationrsquos foreign policy

In 1947 a congressional committee held public hearings on the alleged communistinfluence in the Hollywood film industry Many witnesses called before the committeewere asked the same questions ldquoAre you now or have you ever been a member ofthe Communist Partyrdquo Two witnesses denied having communist ties but 10 othersrefused to give a straight ldquoyesrdquo or ldquonordquo answer In dramatic moments worthy of themovies these ldquoHollywood Tenrdquo challenged the committeersquos right to ask about theirpolitical beliefs One of the accused yelled ldquoThis is the beginning of an American concentration camprdquo

Cold War FearsThe Cold War intensified Americansrsquo fears of communist subversion or

sabotage Stories of stolen government documents and spy rings gripped thecountry in the late 1940s Then in 1949 Americans learned that the Soviet Unionhad built its own atomic bomb

Many Americans worried that Communist spies and sympathizersmdashpeoplefriendly to Communists or ldquoRedsrdquo as they were knownmdashhad penetrated alllevels of American society and were attempting to weaken the government

This Red Scare dominated the nationrsquos politicsfor years and led to a massive hunt to uncoverCommunists In this climate of fear few Ameri-cans were safe from accusations of disloyaltymdashnot even the president

Republican critics began accusing PresidentTruman of being too easy on Communists In1947 Truman responded by ordering an investi-gation into the loyalty of all federal employeesMillions of government workers had to undergosecurity checks and thousands were investi-gated by the FBI Although the investigationsfound little evidence of espionage many federalemployees lost their jobs

and businesses began similar campaigns touncover communist subversion Some organiza-tions required individuals to sign oaths swearingtheir loyalty to the United States Those whorefused risked losing their jobs

In 1950 Congress passed the McCarran Actwhich required all Communist organizations toregister with the government and to providelists of members President Truman vetoed theact ldquoIn a free country we punish men for crimesthey commitrdquo he said ldquobut never for the opin-ions they holdrdquo Congress overrode his veto

In 1947 a congressional committee the HouseUn-American Activities Committee (HUAC)began investigating communist subversion inthe nation In widely publicized hearings thecommittee questioned people about their knowl-edge of Communists or Communist sympathiz-ers Individuals came under suspicion because ofthe beliefs of their friends or coworkersmdashguiltby association The committeersquos activities fueledan anti-Communist hysteria in the nation

HUAC launched a sensational investigationof the Hollywood film industry rumored to befull of Communists A number of those whowere summoned refused to testify and severalscreenwriters and directorsmdashthe ldquoHollywoodTenrdquomdashwent to jail for refusing to answer ques-tions about their political beliefs or those of theircolleagues Reacting to public and governmentpressure film companies created blacklistsmdash

lists of individuals whose loyalty was suspi-ciousmdashthat barred people from working in Hollywoodrsquos film industry

American Spies RevealedIn 1948 Whittaker Chambers a magazine

editor volunteered to testify before HUACAfter admitting that he had spied for the SovietUnion in the 1930s Chambers accused AlgerHiss a former State Department official of giv-ing him secret government documents in 1937and 1938 to pass on to the Soviets

Chambers produced secret State Departmentpapers he claimed were written by Hiss andmicrofilm of other secret documents Chambersswore that he had received the microfilm (whichwas hidden in a pumpkin) from Hiss Investiga-tors could not prosecute Hiss for spying becausetoo much time had passed since the events had occurred However he was found guilty ofperjury or lying and sent to prison

Margaret Chase Smithof Maine was the firstwoman to be elected toboth houses of Congress

First elected to theHouse in 1940 Smithmade many contributionsduring her four termsDuring World War II sheworked to improve theposition of women in themilitary She played amajor role in the passage

of a new law theWomenrsquos Armed ServicesIntegration Act (1948)that allowed women toserve as permanent regu-lar members of thenationrsquos military forces

Smith also served fourterms in the SenateNever afraid to speak outon the issues she wasone of the first to con-demn the tactics used by

Senator Joseph McCarthyin his crusade againstcommunism

In 1964 Smith was oneof the presidential nomi-nees at the RepublicanNational Conventionmaking her the firstwoman to have her nameplaced in nomination by amajor political party

The most dramatic spy case to come beforeHUAC involved the atomic bomb Julius andEthel Rosenberg a New York couple who weremembers of the Communist Party were accusedof plotting to pass secret information about theatomic bomb to the Soviet Union Brought totrial in 1951 the Rosenbergs were convicted andsentenced to death The judge in the casedeclared their crime ldquoworse than murderrdquo

Groups around the world protested the sen-tence as a gross injustice but higher courtsupheld the death sentence decision Executed in1953 the Rosenbergs maintained their inno-cence to the end and claimed that they were per-secuted because of their political beliefs

Explaining What did the McCarranAct require

McCarthyismFrom 1950 to 1954 the hunt for Communists

in America was dominated by Senator JosephMcCarthy of Wisconsin During those yearsMcCarthy publicly attacked many peopleallegedmdashdeclared without proofmdashto be Com-

munists His unfounded accusations destroyedthe careers of many innocent Americans andheightened the atmosphere of anti-Communisthysteria in the country A new word was coinedMcCarthyism which came to mean the use ofunproved accusations against political oppo-nents

Joseph McCarthy rose to national attentionalmost overnight In a speech in Wheeling WestVirginia in February 1950 he announced thatAmerica had been betrayed by the ldquotraitorousactionsrdquo of certain individuals Raising a sheetof paper he claimed to have in his hand a list of205 State Department employees who weremembers of the Communist Party Millions ofAmericans believed McCarthyrsquos charges

During the next four years McCarthy contin-ued to accuse government officials and others ofbeing Communists His congressional subcom-mittee attacked and bullied the people it calledto testify Many federal employees resigned orwere dismissed as a result of McCarthyrsquos inves-tigations

Even the most powerful government officialshesitated to oppose him McCarthy often targetedDemocrats He and his Republican colleagues in

Congress saw anticommunism as an importantissue to use against the Democratic Party SomeRepublican candidates for Congress includingRichard Nixon successfully smeared their oppo-nents with charges of being soft on communismSuch tactics worked because so many Americansfeared the threat of communism

McCarthyrsquos DownfallIn 1954 McCarthy launched an investigation

of the United States Army He made alarmingclaims that Communists had infiltrated the mili-tary In a series of televised hearings watched bymillions of Americans McCarthy hurled wildaccusations at highly respected army officials

The televised Army-McCarthy Hearingsproved the turning point in the McCarthy inves-tigations For weeks Americans witnessedMcCarthyrsquos sneering and cruel attacks Towardthe end of the hearings Joseph Welch an attor-ney for the army said to McCarthy

ldquoUntil this moment Senator I think I neverreally gauged your cruelty or your recklessness Have you left no sense of decencyrdquo

Many Americans now came to viewMcCarthy as a cruel bully who had little basisfor his accusations Congress also turned againstMcCarthy In December 1954 the Senate votedto censure or formally criticize him for ldquocon-duct unbecoming a senatorrdquo Censure and the

country located on the Korean Peninsula west of Japan In 1945 Korea was acolony of Japan At the end of World War II Japan was stripped of its territorialpossessions The United States and the Soviet Union both sent troops into Koreaand agreed to occupy it temporarily They divided the peninsula in half alongthe 38th parallel of latitude with the Soviets controlling North Korea and theAmericans controlling South Korea

803CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

The Soviet Union and the United States couldnot agree on how to unify Korea When thesetwo nations removed their forces in 1949 Korearemained divided Tensions between the twoKoreas were high

On June 24 1950 President Truman flew to his home in Independence Missouri for a briefvacation While sitting on his porch on a hotsummer night the president received a tele-phone call from Secretary of State Dean AchesonldquoMr Presidentrdquo Acheson said in a grim tone ldquoIhave very serious news The North Koreans haveinvaded South Koreardquo Truman knew this meantonly one thing the United States soon would beinvolved in military action in Asia

The Invasion of South KoreaAfter the American troops pulled out of South

Korea North Korea decided to unify the countryby force On June 25 1950 the armies of NorthKorea crossed the 38th parallel into South KoreaPoorly armed the South Koreans were no matchfor the North Within days the Communistforces had gained control over much of SouthKorea including Seoul the capital city

President Truman reacted quickly to theKorean invasion which he believed was sup-ported by the Soviet Union Without askingCongress to actually declare war Trumanordered the use of limited American air and seaforces in Korea He called this ldquopolice actionrdquonecessary to carry out Americarsquos policy of con-tainment Truman said

ldquoKorea is the Greece of the Far East If we aretough enough now if we stand up to them likewe did in Greece three years ago they wonrsquottake any next stepsrdquo

United Nations RespondsAt the same time President Truman asked the

UN to send forces to defend the South KoreansThe United Nations condemned the invasion ofSouth Korea and agreed to send a special forceto the region under the United Statesrsquos directionPresident Truman quickly appointed GeneralDouglas MacArthur a hero of World War II tocommand the UN forces

On June 30 just days after the North Koreaninvasion General MacArthur led Americantroops into Korea to stop the Communistadvance By the end of 1950 other nations weresupplying troops or other assistance to theAmerican-led war effort Even so Americansmade up the majority of troops throughout theKorean War

The United Nations had a clear but difficultgoalmdashpush the North Koreans back across the38th parallel When China intervened in the con-flict this goal changed causing Truman andMacArthur to clash over military strategy

Early Phases of the WarBy September 1950 North Korean forces had

pushed all the way to the southern tip of theKorean Peninsula Only a small area in thesoutheast around the port city of Pusan was stillheld by the South Korean army

After joining the South Koreans GeneralMacArthur designed a bold counterattackagainst North Korea In September UnitedNations forces made a daring landing midwayon the Korean Peninsula near the port ofInchon They took that strategic city and movedon to recapture Seoul

Meanwhile American and UN troops beganpushing north from Pusan By October 1 theNorth Koreans caught between UN forcesadvancing from both Seoul and Pusan wereforced to retreat north across the 38th parallelSouth Korea now came under the control of theUnited Nations forces

Taking the OffensiveEncouraged by this success General Mac-

Arthur urged President Truman to order aninvasion of North Korea He assured Trumanthat neither China nor the Soviet Union wouldenter the war to help North Korea and he prom-ised to have troops ldquohome by Christmasrdquo Tru-man sought and received approval from theUnited Nations to cross the 38th parallel invadethe North and create ldquoa unified independentand democratic Koreardquomdasha new goal for the war

After receiving these new orders MacArthurmoved his forces northward The UN forces cap-tured Pyongyang the North Korean capital onOctober 19 and then moved north toward theYalu River part of North Korearsquos border withChina Total victory seemed just days away

As the UN forces advanced the United Statesreceived a warning from the Chinese If theinvasion of North Korea continued Chinawould send in its army to support the NorthKoreans Believing the Chinese warning was abluff President Truman allowed MacArthur tocontinue moving north

The Chinese were not bluffing however Bylate October thousands of Chinese troops beganmassing along the border and some crossed theYalu River southward into North Korea OnNovember 26 huge numbers of Chinese troopslaunched an attack on United Nations forcesBadly outnumbered the UN forces retreatedsouth back across the 38th parallel Withinweeks the Communists had recaptured Seoul

American Leadership DividedBy January 1951 United Nations forces man-

Truman and MacArthur DisagreeAs the stalemate dragged on President Tru-

man began to consider negotiating an end to thefighting General MacArthur however arguedthat the UN forces should now attack Chinaeither by invading the country or by bombingChinese troops stationed in North Korea Tru-man opposed MacArthurrsquos plan fearing thatsuch actions would lead to a larger war withChina or escalate into another world war

In a letter to a member of Congress Mac-Arthur complained that he was being kept fromdoing his job ldquoWe must winrdquo he wrote ldquoThereis no substitute for victoryrdquo

On April 11 1951 President Truman relievedGeneral MacArthur of his command in Korea ldquoIcould do nothing else and still be president of theUnited Statesrdquo Truman concluded He wrote

ldquoIf I allowed him to defy the civil authoritiesin this manner I myself would be violating myoath to uphold and defend the Constitutionrdquo

MacArthurrsquos firing created a storm of protestin the United States The general was extremelypopular and polls showed that a majority ofAmericans supported him against the presidentMoreover MacArthur did not go quietly After receiving a herorsquos welcome on his return to theUnited States he delivered a farewell speech toCongress ldquoOld soldiers never dierdquo he saidldquothey just fade awayrdquo

Ending the ConflictThe two sides in the

Korean War begannegotiations in July1951 The talks lastedfor two years before acease-fire agreementwas signed on July 271953 during the presi-dency of Dwight Eisenhower This agreementending the war created a demilitarized zonemdasharegion where military forces could not entermdashbetween North and South Korea The zoneextended roughly a mile and a half on eitherside of the 38th parallel

The Korean War ended with neither sideachieving victory and almost no change in terri-tory Losses had been great More than 54000Americans died in the war and another 103000were wounded Nearly two million Koreans andChinese lost their lives and large portions ofNorth and South Korea were devastated

Americarsquos involvement in the Korean War senta clear message to the Soviet Union The UnitedStates was committed to fighting Communistexpansion with money arms and even lives Atthe same time the inability of the United States towin a clear victory contributed to uncertainty athome about the nationrsquos foreign policy

This Red Scare dominated the nationrsquos politicsfor years and led to a massive hunt to uncoverCommunists In this climate of fear few Ameri-cans were safe from accusations of disloyaltymdashnot even the president

Republican critics began accusing PresidentTruman of being too easy on Communists In1947 Truman responded by ordering an investi-gation into the loyalty of all federal employeesMillions of government workers had to undergosecurity checks and thousands were investi-gated by the FBI Although the investigationsfound little evidence of espionage many federalemployees lost their jobs

Loyalty Oaths and InvestigationsMany state and local governments colleges

and businesses began similar campaigns touncover communist subversion Some organiza-tions required individuals to sign oaths swearingtheir loyalty to the United States Those whorefused risked losing their jobs

In 1950 Congress passed the McCarran Actwhich required all Communist organizations toregister with the government and to providelists of members President Truman vetoed theact ldquoIn a free country we punish men for crimesthey commitrdquo he said ldquobut never for the opin-ions they holdrdquo Congress overrode his veto

In 1947 a congressional committee the HouseUn-American Activities Committee (HUAC)began investigating communist subversion inthe nation In widely publicized hearings thecommittee questioned people about their knowl-edge of Communists or Communist sympathiz-ers Individuals came under suspicion because ofthe beliefs of their friends or coworkersmdashguiltby association The committeersquos activities fueledan anti-Communist hysteria in the nation

HUAC launched a sensational investigationof the Hollywood film industry rumored to befull of Communists A number of those whowere summoned refused to testify and severalscreenwriters and directorsmdashthe ldquoHollywoodTenrdquomdashwent to jail for refusing to answer ques-tions about their political beliefs or those of theircolleagues Reacting to public and governmentpressure film companies created blacklistsmdash

lists of individuals whose loyalty was suspi-ciousmdashthat barred people from working in Hollywoodrsquos film industry

American Spies RevealedIn 1948 Whittaker Chambers a magazine

editor volunteered to testify before HUACAfter admitting that he had spied for the SovietUnion in the 1930s Chambers accused AlgerHiss a former State Department official of giv-ing him secret government documents in 1937and 1938 to pass on to the Soviets

Chambers produced secret State Departmentpapers he claimed were written by Hiss andmicrofilm of other secret documents Chambersswore that he had received the microfilm (whichwas hidden in a pumpkin) from Hiss Investiga-tors could not prosecute Hiss for spying becausetoo much time had passed since the events had occurred However he was found guilty ofperjury or lying and sent to prison

Margaret Chase Smithof Maine was the firstwoman to be elected toboth houses of Congress

First elected to theHouse in 1940 Smithmade many contributionsduring her four termsDuring World War II sheworked to improve theposition of women in themilitary She played amajor role in the passage

of a new law theWomenrsquos Armed ServicesIntegration Act (1948)that allowed women toserve as permanent regu-lar members of thenationrsquos military forces

Smith also served fourterms in the SenateNever afraid to speak outon the issues she wasone of the first to con-demn the tactics used by

Senator Joseph McCarthyin his crusade againstcommunism

In 1964 Smith was oneof the presidential nomi-nees at the RepublicanNational Conventionmaking her the firstwoman to have her nameplaced in nomination by amajor political party

The most dramatic spy case to come beforeHUAC involved the atomic bomb Julius andEthel Rosenberg a New York couple who weremembers of the Communist Party were accusedof plotting to pass secret information about theatomic bomb to the Soviet Union Brought totrial in 1951 the Rosenbergs were convicted andsentenced to death The judge in the casedeclared their crime ldquoworse than murderrdquo

Groups around the world protested the sen-tence as a gross injustice but higher courtsupheld the death sentence decision Executed in1953 the Rosenbergs maintained their inno-cence to the end and claimed that they were per-secuted because of their political beliefs

Explaining What did the McCarranAct require

McCarthyismFrom 1950 to 1954 the hunt for Communists

in America was dominated by Senator JosephMcCarthy of Wisconsin During those yearsMcCarthy publicly attacked many peopleallegedmdashdeclared without proofmdashto be Com-

munists His unfounded accusations destroyedthe careers of many innocent Americans andheightened the atmosphere of anti-Communisthysteria in the country A new word was coinedMcCarthyism which came to mean the use ofunproved accusations against political oppo-nents

Joseph McCarthy rose to national attentionalmost overnight In a speech in Wheeling WestVirginia in February 1950 he announced thatAmerica had been betrayed by the ldquotraitorousactionsrdquo of certain individuals Raising a sheetof paper he claimed to have in his hand a list of205 State Department employees who weremembers of the Communist Party Millions ofAmericans believed McCarthyrsquos charges

During the next four years McCarthy contin-ued to accuse government officials and others ofbeing Communists His congressional subcom-mittee attacked and bullied the people it calledto testify Many federal employees resigned orwere dismissed as a result of McCarthyrsquos inves-tigations

Even the most powerful government officialshesitated to oppose him McCarthy often targetedDemocrats He and his Republican colleagues in

Congress saw anticommunism as an importantissue to use against the Democratic Party SomeRepublican candidates for Congress includingRichard Nixon successfully smeared their oppo-nents with charges of being soft on communismSuch tactics worked because so many Americansfeared the threat of communism

McCarthyrsquos DownfallIn 1954 McCarthy launched an investigation

of the United States Army He made alarmingclaims that Communists had infiltrated the mili-tary In a series of televised hearings watched bymillions of Americans McCarthy hurled wildaccusations at highly respected army officials

The televised Army-McCarthy Hearingsproved the turning point in the McCarthy inves-tigations For weeks Americans witnessedMcCarthyrsquos sneering and cruel attacks Towardthe end of the hearings Joseph Welch an attor-ney for the army said to McCarthy

ldquoUntil this moment Senator I think I neverreally gauged your cruelty or your recklessness Have you left no sense of decencyrdquo

Many Americans now came to viewMcCarthy as a cruel bully who had little basisfor his accusations Congress also turned againstMcCarthy In December 1954 the Senate votedto censure or formally criticize him for ldquocon-duct unbecoming a senatorrdquo Censure and the

803CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

The Soviet Union and the United States couldnot agree on how to unify Korea When thesetwo nations removed their forces in 1949 Korearemained divided Tensions between the twoKoreas were high

On June 24 1950 President Truman flew to his home in Independence Missouri for a briefvacation While sitting on his porch on a hotsummer night the president received a tele-phone call from Secretary of State Dean AchesonldquoMr Presidentrdquo Acheson said in a grim tone ldquoIhave very serious news The North Koreans haveinvaded South Koreardquo Truman knew this meantonly one thing the United States soon would beinvolved in military action in Asia

The Invasion of South KoreaAfter the American troops pulled out of South

Korea North Korea decided to unify the countryby force On June 25 1950 the armies of NorthKorea crossed the 38th parallel into South KoreaPoorly armed the South Koreans were no matchfor the North Within days the Communistforces had gained control over much of SouthKorea including Seoul the capital city

President Truman reacted quickly to theKorean invasion which he believed was sup-ported by the Soviet Union Without askingCongress to actually declare war Trumanordered the use of limited American air and seaforces in Korea He called this ldquopolice actionrdquonecessary to carry out Americarsquos policy of con-tainment Truman said

ldquoKorea is the Greece of the Far East If we aretough enough now if we stand up to them likewe did in Greece three years ago they wonrsquottake any next stepsrdquo

United Nations RespondsAt the same time President Truman asked the

UN to send forces to defend the South KoreansThe United Nations condemned the invasion ofSouth Korea and agreed to send a special forceto the region under the United Statesrsquos directionPresident Truman quickly appointed GeneralDouglas MacArthur a hero of World War II tocommand the UN forces

On June 30 just days after the North Koreaninvasion General MacArthur led Americantroops into Korea to stop the Communistadvance By the end of 1950 other nations weresupplying troops or other assistance to theAmerican-led war effort Even so Americansmade up the majority of troops throughout theKorean War

The United Nations had a clear but difficultgoalmdashpush the North Koreans back across the38th parallel When China intervened in the con-flict this goal changed causing Truman andMacArthur to clash over military strategy

Early Phases of the WarBy September 1950 North Korean forces had

pushed all the way to the southern tip of theKorean Peninsula Only a small area in thesoutheast around the port city of Pusan was stillheld by the South Korean army

After joining the South Koreans GeneralMacArthur designed a bold counterattackagainst North Korea In September UnitedNations forces made a daring landing midwayon the Korean Peninsula near the port ofInchon They took that strategic city and movedon to recapture Seoul

Meanwhile American and UN troops beganpushing north from Pusan By October 1 theNorth Koreans caught between UN forcesadvancing from both Seoul and Pusan wereforced to retreat north across the 38th parallelSouth Korea now came under the control of theUnited Nations forces

Taking the OffensiveEncouraged by this success General Mac-

Arthur urged President Truman to order aninvasion of North Korea He assured Trumanthat neither China nor the Soviet Union wouldenter the war to help North Korea and he prom-ised to have troops ldquohome by Christmasrdquo Tru-man sought and received approval from theUnited Nations to cross the 38th parallel invadethe North and create ldquoa unified independentand democratic Koreardquomdasha new goal for the war

After receiving these new orders MacArthurmoved his forces northward The UN forces cap-tured Pyongyang the North Korean capital onOctober 19 and then moved north toward theYalu River part of North Korearsquos border withChina Total victory seemed just days away

As the UN forces advanced the United Statesreceived a warning from the Chinese If theinvasion of North Korea continued Chinawould send in its army to support the NorthKoreans Believing the Chinese warning was abluff President Truman allowed MacArthur tocontinue moving north

The Chinese were not bluffing however Bylate October thousands of Chinese troops beganmassing along the border and some crossed theYalu River southward into North Korea OnNovember 26 huge numbers of Chinese troopslaunched an attack on United Nations forcesBadly outnumbered the UN forces retreatedsouth back across the 38th parallel Withinweeks the Communists had recaptured Seoul

Describing What line separatedNorth from South Korea

American Leadership DividedBy January 1951 United Nations forces man-

aged to stop their retreat Launching a coun-teroffensive they retook Seoul and pushed theCommunists back across the 38th parallel Thewar now became a stalemate a situation inwhich neither side was able to gain muchground or achieve a decisive victory The stale-mate lasted for almost two years with much bitter fighting along the 38th parallel

Truman and MacArthur DisagreeAs the stalemate dragged on President Tru-

man began to consider negotiating an end to thefighting General MacArthur however arguedthat the UN forces should now attack Chinaeither by invading the country or by bombingChinese troops stationed in North Korea Tru-man opposed MacArthurrsquos plan fearing thatsuch actions would lead to a larger war withChina or escalate into another world war

In a letter to a member of Congress Mac-Arthur complained that he was being kept fromdoing his job ldquoWe must winrdquo he wrote ldquoThereis no substitute for victoryrdquo

On April 11 1951 President Truman relievedGeneral MacArthur of his command in Korea ldquoIcould do nothing else and still be president of theUnited Statesrdquo Truman concluded He wrote

ldquoIf I allowed him to defy the civil authoritiesin this manner I myself would be violating myoath to uphold and defend the Constitutionrdquo

MacArthurrsquos firing created a storm of protestin the United States The general was extremelypopular and polls showed that a majority ofAmericans supported him against the presidentMoreover MacArthur did not go quietly After receiving a herorsquos welcome on his return to theUnited States he delivered a farewell speech toCongress ldquoOld soldiers never dierdquo he saidldquothey just fade awayrdquo

Ending the ConflictThe two sides in the

Korean War begannegotiations in July1951 The talks lastedfor two years before acease-fire agreementwas signed on July 271953 during the presi-dency of Dwight Eisenhower This agreementending the war created a demilitarized zonemdasharegion where military forces could not entermdashbetween North and South Korea The zoneextended roughly a mile and a half on eitherside of the 38th parallel

The Korean War ended with neither sideachieving victory and almost no change in terri-tory Losses had been great More than 54000Americans died in the war and another 103000were wounded Nearly two million Koreans andChinese lost their lives and large portions ofNorth and South Korea were devastated

Americarsquos involvement in the Korean War senta clear message to the Soviet Union The UnitedStates was committed to fighting Communistexpansion with money arms and even lives Atthe same time the inability of the United States towin a clear victory contributed to uncertainty athome about the nationrsquos foreign policy

sabotage Stories of stolen government documents and spy rings gripped thecountry in the late 1940s Then in 1949 Americans learned that the Soviet Unionhad built its own atomic bomb

This Red Scare dominated the nationrsquos politicsfor years and led to a massive hunt to uncoverCommunists In this climate of fear few Ameri-cans were safe from accusations of disloyaltymdashnot even the president

Republican critics began accusing PresidentTruman of being too easy on Communists In1947 Truman responded by ordering an investi-gation into the loyalty of all federal employeesMillions of government workers had to undergosecurity checks and thousands were investi-gated by the FBI Although the investigationsfound little evidence of espionage many federalemployees lost their jobs

Loyalty Oaths and InvestigationsMany state and local governments colleges

and businesses began similar campaigns touncover communist subversion Some organiza-tions required individuals to sign oaths swearingtheir loyalty to the United States Those whorefused risked losing their jobs

In 1950 Congress passed the McCarran Actwhich required all Communist organizations toregister with the government and to providelists of members President Truman vetoed theact ldquoIn a free country we punish men for crimesthey commitrdquo he said ldquobut never for the opin-ions they holdrdquo Congress overrode his veto

In 1947 a congressional committee the HouseUn-American Activities Committee (HUAC)began investigating communist subversion inthe nation In widely publicized hearings thecommittee questioned people about their knowl-edge of Communists or Communist sympathiz-ers Individuals came under suspicion because ofthe beliefs of their friends or coworkersmdashguiltby association The committeersquos activities fueledan anti-Communist hysteria in the nation

HUAC launched a sensational investigationof the Hollywood film industry rumored to befull of Communists A number of those whowere summoned refused to testify and severalscreenwriters and directorsmdashthe ldquoHollywoodTenrdquomdashwent to jail for refusing to answer ques-tions about their political beliefs or those of theircolleagues Reacting to public and governmentpressure film companies created blacklistsmdash

lists of individuals whose loyalty was suspi-ciousmdashthat barred people from working in Hollywoodrsquos film industry

American Spies RevealedIn 1948 Whittaker Chambers a magazine

editor volunteered to testify before HUACAfter admitting that he had spied for the SovietUnion in the 1930s Chambers accused AlgerHiss a former State Department official of giv-ing him secret government documents in 1937and 1938 to pass on to the Soviets

Chambers produced secret State Departmentpapers he claimed were written by Hiss andmicrofilm of other secret documents Chambersswore that he had received the microfilm (whichwas hidden in a pumpkin) from Hiss Investiga-tors could not prosecute Hiss for spying becausetoo much time had passed since the events had occurred However he was found guilty ofperjury or lying and sent to prison

Margaret Chase Smithof Maine was the firstwoman to be elected toboth houses of Congress

First elected to theHouse in 1940 Smithmade many contributionsduring her four termsDuring World War II sheworked to improve theposition of women in themilitary She played amajor role in the passage

of a new law theWomenrsquos Armed ServicesIntegration Act (1948)that allowed women toserve as permanent regu-lar members of thenationrsquos military forces

Smith also served fourterms in the SenateNever afraid to speak outon the issues she wasone of the first to con-demn the tactics used by

Senator Joseph McCarthyin his crusade againstcommunism

In 1964 Smith was oneof the presidential nomi-nees at the RepublicanNational Conventionmaking her the firstwoman to have her nameplaced in nomination by amajor political party

The most dramatic spy case to come beforeHUAC involved the atomic bomb Julius andEthel Rosenberg a New York couple who weremembers of the Communist Party were accusedof plotting to pass secret information about theatomic bomb to the Soviet Union Brought totrial in 1951 the Rosenbergs were convicted andsentenced to death The judge in the casedeclared their crime ldquoworse than murderrdquo

Groups around the world protested the sen-tence as a gross injustice but higher courtsupheld the death sentence decision Executed in1953 the Rosenbergs maintained their inno-cence to the end and claimed that they were per-secuted because of their political beliefs

Explaining What did the McCarranAct require

McCarthyismFrom 1950 to 1954 the hunt for Communists

in America was dominated by Senator JosephMcCarthy of Wisconsin During those yearsMcCarthy publicly attacked many peopleallegedmdashdeclared without proofmdashto be Com-

munists His unfounded accusations destroyedthe careers of many innocent Americans andheightened the atmosphere of anti-Communisthysteria in the country A new word was coinedMcCarthyism which came to mean the use ofunproved accusations against political oppo-nents

Joseph McCarthy rose to national attentionalmost overnight In a speech in Wheeling WestVirginia in February 1950 he announced thatAmerica had been betrayed by the ldquotraitorousactionsrdquo of certain individuals Raising a sheetof paper he claimed to have in his hand a list of205 State Department employees who weremembers of the Communist Party Millions ofAmericans believed McCarthyrsquos charges

During the next four years McCarthy contin-ued to accuse government officials and others ofbeing Communists His congressional subcom-mittee attacked and bullied the people it calledto testify Many federal employees resigned orwere dismissed as a result of McCarthyrsquos inves-tigations

Even the most powerful government officialshesitated to oppose him McCarthy often targetedDemocrats He and his Republican colleagues in

Congress saw anticommunism as an importantissue to use against the Democratic Party SomeRepublican candidates for Congress includingRichard Nixon successfully smeared their oppo-nents with charges of being soft on communismSuch tactics worked because so many Americansfeared the threat of communism

McCarthyrsquos DownfallIn 1954 McCarthy launched an investigation

of the United States Army He made alarmingclaims that Communists had infiltrated the mili-tary In a series of televised hearings watched bymillions of Americans McCarthy hurled wildaccusations at highly respected army officials

The televised Army-McCarthy Hearingsproved the turning point in the McCarthy inves-tigations For weeks Americans witnessedMcCarthyrsquos sneering and cruel attacks Towardthe end of the hearings Joseph Welch an attor-ney for the army said to McCarthy

ldquoUntil this moment Senator I think I neverreally gauged your cruelty or your recklessness Have you left no sense of decencyrdquo

Many Americans now came to viewMcCarthy as a cruel bully who had little basisfor his accusations Congress also turned againstMcCarthy In December 1954 the Senate votedto censure or formally criticize him for ldquocon-duct unbecoming a senatorrdquo Censure and the

Early Phases of the WarBy September 1950 North Korean forces had

pushed all the way to the southern tip of theKorean Peninsula Only a small area in thesoutheast around the port city of Pusan was stillheld by the South Korean army

After joining the South Koreans GeneralMacArthur designed a bold counterattackagainst North Korea In September UnitedNations forces made a daring landing midwayon the Korean Peninsula near the port ofInchon They took that strategic city and movedon to recapture Seoul

Meanwhile American and UN troops beganpushing north from Pusan By October 1 theNorth Koreans caught between UN forcesadvancing from both Seoul and Pusan wereforced to retreat north across the 38th parallelSouth Korea now came under the control of theUnited Nations forces

Taking the OffensiveEncouraged by this success General Mac-

Arthur urged President Truman to order aninvasion of North Korea He assured Trumanthat neither China nor the Soviet Union wouldenter the war to help North Korea and he prom-ised to have troops ldquohome by Christmasrdquo Tru-man sought and received approval from theUnited Nations to cross the 38th parallel invadethe North and create ldquoa unified independentand democratic Koreardquomdasha new goal for the war

After receiving these new orders MacArthurmoved his forces northward The UN forces cap-tured Pyongyang the North Korean capital onOctober 19 and then moved north toward theYalu River part of North Korearsquos border withChina Total victory seemed just days away

As the UN forces advanced the United Statesreceived a warning from the Chinese If theinvasion of North Korea continued Chinawould send in its army to support the NorthKoreans Believing the Chinese warning was abluff President Truman allowed MacArthur tocontinue moving north

The Chinese were not bluffing however Bylate October thousands of Chinese troops beganmassing along the border and some crossed theYalu River southward into North Korea OnNovember 26 huge numbers of Chinese troopslaunched an attack on United Nations forcesBadly outnumbered the UN forces retreatedsouth back across the 38th parallel Withinweeks the Communists had recaptured Seoul

Truman and MacArthur DisagreeAs the stalemate dragged on President Tru-

man began to consider negotiating an end to thefighting General MacArthur however arguedthat the UN forces should now attack Chinaeither by invading the country or by bombingChinese troops stationed in North Korea Tru-man opposed MacArthurrsquos plan fearing thatsuch actions would lead to a larger war withChina or escalate into another world war

In a letter to a member of Congress Mac-Arthur complained that he was being kept fromdoing his job ldquoWe must winrdquo he wrote ldquoThereis no substitute for victoryrdquo

On April 11 1951 President Truman relievedGeneral MacArthur of his command in Korea ldquoIcould do nothing else and still be president of theUnited Statesrdquo Truman concluded He wrote

ldquoIf I allowed him to defy the civil authoritiesin this manner I myself would be violating myoath to uphold and defend the Constitutionrdquo

MacArthurrsquos firing created a storm of protestin the United States The general was extremelypopular and polls showed that a majority ofAmericans supported him against the presidentMoreover MacArthur did not go quietly After receiving a herorsquos welcome on his return to theUnited States he delivered a farewell speech toCongress ldquoOld soldiers never dierdquo he saidldquothey just fade awayrdquo

Ending the ConflictThe two sides in the

Korean War begannegotiations in July1951 The talks lastedfor two years before acease-fire agreementwas signed on July 271953 during the presi-dency of Dwight Eisenhower This agreementending the war created a demilitarized zonemdasharegion where military forces could not entermdashbetween North and South Korea The zoneextended roughly a mile and a half on eitherside of the 38th parallel

The Korean War ended with neither sideachieving victory and almost no change in terri-tory Losses had been great More than 54000Americans died in the war and another 103000were wounded Nearly two million Koreans andChinese lost their lives and large portions ofNorth and South Korea were devastated

Americarsquos involvement in the Korean War senta clear message to the Soviet Union The UnitedStates was committed to fighting Communistexpansion with money arms and even lives Atthe same time the inability of the United States towin a clear victory contributed to uncertainty athome about the nationrsquos foreign policy

This Red Scare dominated the nationrsquos politicsfor years and led to a massive hunt to uncoverCommunists In this climate of fear few Ameri-cans were safe from accusations of disloyaltymdashnot even the president

Republican critics began accusing PresidentTruman of being too easy on Communists In1947 Truman responded by ordering an investi-gation into the loyalty of all federal employeesMillions of government workers had to undergosecurity checks and thousands were investi-gated by the FBI Although the investigationsfound little evidence of espionage many federalemployees lost their jobs

Loyalty Oaths and InvestigationsMany state and local governments colleges

and businesses began similar campaigns touncover communist subversion Some organiza-tions required individuals to sign oaths swearingtheir loyalty to the United States Those whorefused risked losing their jobs

In 1950 Congress passed the McCarran Actwhich required all Communist organizations toregister with the government and to providelists of members President Truman vetoed theact ldquoIn a free country we punish men for crimesthey commitrdquo he said ldquobut never for the opin-ions they holdrdquo Congress overrode his veto

In 1947 a congressional committee the HouseUn-American Activities Committee (HUAC)began investigating communist subversion inthe nation In widely publicized hearings thecommittee questioned people about their knowl-edge of Communists or Communist sympathiz-ers Individuals came under suspicion because ofthe beliefs of their friends or coworkersmdashguiltby association The committeersquos activities fueledan anti-Communist hysteria in the nation

HUAC launched a sensational investigationof the Hollywood film industry rumored to befull of Communists A number of those whowere summoned refused to testify and severalscreenwriters and directorsmdashthe ldquoHollywoodTenrdquomdashwent to jail for refusing to answer ques-tions about their political beliefs or those of theircolleagues Reacting to public and governmentpressure film companies created blacklistsmdash

lists of individuals whose loyalty was suspi-ciousmdashthat barred people from working in Hollywoodrsquos film industry

American Spies RevealedIn 1948 Whittaker Chambers a magazine

editor volunteered to testify before HUACAfter admitting that he had spied for the SovietUnion in the 1930s Chambers accused AlgerHiss a former State Department official of giv-ing him secret government documents in 1937and 1938 to pass on to the Soviets

Chambers produced secret State Departmentpapers he claimed were written by Hiss andmicrofilm of other secret documents Chambersswore that he had received the microfilm (whichwas hidden in a pumpkin) from Hiss Investiga-tors could not prosecute Hiss for spying becausetoo much time had passed since the events had occurred However he was found guilty ofperjury or lying and sent to prison

of a new law theWomenrsquos Armed ServicesIntegration Act (1948)that allowed women toserve as permanent regu-lar members of thenationrsquos military forces

Smith also served fourterms in the SenateNever afraid to speak outon the issues she wasone of the first to con-demn the tactics used by

Senator Joseph McCarthyin his crusade againstcommunism

In 1964 Smith was oneof the presidential nomi-nees at the RepublicanNational Conventionmaking her the firstwoman to have her nameplaced in nomination by amajor political party

The most dramatic spy case to come beforeHUAC involved the atomic bomb Julius andEthel Rosenberg a New York couple who weremembers of the Communist Party were accusedof plotting to pass secret information about theatomic bomb to the Soviet Union Brought totrial in 1951 the Rosenbergs were convicted andsentenced to death The judge in the casedeclared their crime ldquoworse than murderrdquo

Groups around the world protested the sen-tence as a gross injustice but higher courtsupheld the death sentence decision Executed in1953 the Rosenbergs maintained their inno-cence to the end and claimed that they were per-secuted because of their political beliefs

Explaining What did the McCarranAct require

McCarthyismFrom 1950 to 1954 the hunt for Communists

in America was dominated by Senator JosephMcCarthy of Wisconsin During those yearsMcCarthy publicly attacked many peopleallegedmdashdeclared without proofmdashto be Com-

munists His unfounded accusations destroyedthe careers of many innocent Americans andheightened the atmosphere of anti-Communisthysteria in the country A new word was coinedMcCarthyism which came to mean the use ofunproved accusations against political oppo-nents

Joseph McCarthy rose to national attentionalmost overnight In a speech in Wheeling WestVirginia in February 1950 he announced thatAmerica had been betrayed by the ldquotraitorousactionsrdquo of certain individuals Raising a sheetof paper he claimed to have in his hand a list of205 State Department employees who weremembers of the Communist Party Millions ofAmericans believed McCarthyrsquos charges

During the next four years McCarthy contin-ued to accuse government officials and others ofbeing Communists His congressional subcom-mittee attacked and bullied the people it calledto testify Many federal employees resigned orwere dismissed as a result of McCarthyrsquos inves-tigations

Even the most powerful government officialshesitated to oppose him McCarthy often targetedDemocrats He and his Republican colleagues in

Congress saw anticommunism as an importantissue to use against the Democratic Party SomeRepublican candidates for Congress includingRichard Nixon successfully smeared their oppo-nents with charges of being soft on communismSuch tactics worked because so many Americansfeared the threat of communism

McCarthyrsquos DownfallIn 1954 McCarthy launched an investigation

of the United States Army He made alarmingclaims that Communists had infiltrated the mili-tary In a series of televised hearings watched bymillions of Americans McCarthy hurled wildaccusations at highly respected army officials

The televised Army-McCarthy Hearingsproved the turning point in the McCarthy inves-tigations For weeks Americans witnessedMcCarthyrsquos sneering and cruel attacks Towardthe end of the hearings Joseph Welch an attor-ney for the army said to McCarthy

ldquoUntil this moment Senator I think I neverreally gauged your cruelty or your recklessness Have you left no sense of decencyrdquo

Many Americans now came to viewMcCarthy as a cruel bully who had little basisfor his accusations Congress also turned againstMcCarthy In December 1954 the Senate votedto censure or formally criticize him for ldquocon-duct unbecoming a senatorrdquo Censure and the

Truman and MacArthur DisagreeAs the stalemate dragged on President Tru-

man began to consider negotiating an end to thefighting General MacArthur however arguedthat the UN forces should now attack Chinaeither by invading the country or by bombingChinese troops stationed in North Korea Tru-man opposed MacArthurrsquos plan fearing thatsuch actions would lead to a larger war withChina or escalate into another world war

In a letter to a member of Congress Mac-Arthur complained that he was being kept fromdoing his job ldquoWe must winrdquo he wrote ldquoThereis no substitute for victoryrdquo

On April 11 1951 President Truman relievedGeneral MacArthur of his command in Korea ldquoIcould do nothing else and still be president of theUnited Statesrdquo Truman concluded He wrote

ldquoIf I allowed him to defy the civil authoritiesin this manner I myself would be violating myoath to uphold and defend the Constitutionrdquo

MacArthurrsquos firing created a storm of protestin the United States The general was extremelypopular and polls showed that a majority ofAmericans supported him against the presidentMoreover MacArthur did not go quietly After receiving a herorsquos welcome on his return to theUnited States he delivered a farewell speech toCongress ldquoOld soldiers never dierdquo he saidldquothey just fade awayrdquo

Ending the ConflictThe two sides in the

Korean War begannegotiations in July1951 The talks lastedfor two years before acease-fire agreementwas signed on July 271953 during the presi-dency of Dwight Eisenhower This agreementending the war created a demilitarized zonemdasharegion where military forces could not entermdashbetween North and South Korea The zoneextended roughly a mile and a half on eitherside of the 38th parallel

The Korean War ended with neither sideachieving victory and almost no change in terri-tory Losses had been great More than 54000Americans died in the war and another 103000were wounded Nearly two million Koreans andChinese lost their lives and large portions ofNorth and South Korea were devastated

Americarsquos involvement in the Korean War senta clear message to the Soviet Union The UnitedStates was committed to fighting Communistexpansion with money arms and even lives Atthe same time the inability of the United States towin a clear victory contributed to uncertainty athome about the nationrsquos foreign policy

CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

In 1947 a congressional committee held public hearings on the alleged communistinfluence in the Hollywood film industry Many witnesses called before the committeewere asked the same questions ldquoAre you now or have you ever been a member ofthe Communist Partyrdquo Two witnesses denied having communist ties but 10 othersrefused to give a straight ldquoyesrdquo or ldquonordquo answer In dramatic moments worthy of themovies these ldquoHollywood Tenrdquo challenged the committeersquos right to ask about theirpolitical beliefs One of the accused yelled ldquoThis is the beginning of an American concentration camprdquo

Cold War FearsThe Cold War intensified Americansrsquo fears of communist subversion or

sabotage Stories of stolen government documents and spy rings gripped thecountry in the late 1940s Then in 1949 Americans learned that the Soviet Unionhad built its own atomic bomb

Many Americans worried that Communist spies and sympathizersmdashpeoplefriendly to Communists or ldquoRedsrdquo as they were knownmdashhad penetrated alllevels of American society and were attempting to weaken the government

807CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

This Red Scare dominated the nationrsquos politicsfor years and led to a massive hunt to uncoverCommunists In this climate of fear few Ameri-cans were safe from accusations of disloyaltymdashnot even the president

Republican critics began accusing PresidentTruman of being too easy on Communists In1947 Truman responded by ordering an investi-gation into the loyalty of all federal employeesMillions of government workers had to undergosecurity checks and thousands were investi-gated by the FBI Although the investigationsfound little evidence of espionage many federalemployees lost their jobs

Loyalty Oaths and InvestigationsMany state and local governments colleges

and businesses began similar campaigns touncover communist subversion Some organiza-tions required individuals to sign oaths swearingtheir loyalty to the United States Those whorefused risked losing their jobs

In 1950 Congress passed the McCarran Actwhich required all Communist organizations toregister with the government and to providelists of members President Truman vetoed theact ldquoIn a free country we punish men for crimesthey commitrdquo he said ldquobut never for the opin-ions they holdrdquo Congress overrode his veto

In 1947 a congressional committee the HouseUn-American Activities Committee (HUAC)began investigating communist subversion inthe nation In widely publicized hearings thecommittee questioned people about their knowl-edge of Communists or Communist sympathiz-ers Individuals came under suspicion because ofthe beliefs of their friends or coworkersmdashguiltby association The committeersquos activities fueledan anti-Communist hysteria in the nation

HUAC launched a sensational investigationof the Hollywood film industry rumored to befull of Communists A number of those whowere summoned refused to testify and severalscreenwriters and directorsmdashthe ldquoHollywoodTenrdquomdashwent to jail for refusing to answer ques-tions about their political beliefs or those of theircolleagues Reacting to public and governmentpressure film companies created blacklistsmdash

lists of individuals whose loyalty was suspi-ciousmdashthat barred people from working in Hollywoodrsquos film industry

American Spies RevealedIn 1948 Whittaker Chambers a magazine

editor volunteered to testify before HUACAfter admitting that he had spied for the SovietUnion in the 1930s Chambers accused AlgerHiss a former State Department official of giv-ing him secret government documents in 1937and 1938 to pass on to the Soviets

Chambers produced secret State Departmentpapers he claimed were written by Hiss andmicrofilm of other secret documents Chambersswore that he had received the microfilm (whichwas hidden in a pumpkin) from Hiss Investiga-tors could not prosecute Hiss for spying becausetoo much time had passed since the events had occurred However he was found guilty ofperjury or lying and sent to prison

Margaret Chase Smithof Maine was the firstwoman to be elected toboth houses of Congress

First elected to theHouse in 1940 Smithmade many contributionsduring her four termsDuring World War II sheworked to improve theposition of women in themilitary She played amajor role in the passage

of a new law theWomenrsquos Armed ServicesIntegration Act (1948)that allowed women toserve as permanent regu-lar members of thenationrsquos military forces

Smith also served fourterms in the SenateNever afraid to speak outon the issues she wasone of the first to con-demn the tactics used by

Senator Joseph McCarthyin his crusade againstcommunism

In 1964 Smith was oneof the presidential nomi-nees at the RepublicanNational Conventionmaking her the firstwoman to have her nameplaced in nomination by amajor political party

The most dramatic spy case to come beforeHUAC involved the atomic bomb Julius andEthel Rosenberg a New York couple who weremembers of the Communist Party were accusedof plotting to pass secret information about theatomic bomb to the Soviet Union Brought totrial in 1951 the Rosenbergs were convicted andsentenced to death The judge in the casedeclared their crime ldquoworse than murderrdquo

Groups around the world protested the sen-tence as a gross injustice but higher courtsupheld the death sentence decision Executed in1953 the Rosenbergs maintained their inno-cence to the end and claimed that they were per-secuted because of their political beliefs

Explaining What did the McCarranAct require

McCarthyismFrom 1950 to 1954 the hunt for Communists

in America was dominated by Senator JosephMcCarthy of Wisconsin During those yearsMcCarthy publicly attacked many peopleallegedmdashdeclared without proofmdashto be Com-

munists His unfounded accusations destroyedthe careers of many innocent Americans andheightened the atmosphere of anti-Communisthysteria in the country A new word was coinedMcCarthyism which came to mean the use ofunproved accusations against political oppo-nents

Joseph McCarthy rose to national attentionalmost overnight In a speech in Wheeling WestVirginia in February 1950 he announced thatAmerica had been betrayed by the ldquotraitorousactionsrdquo of certain individuals Raising a sheetof paper he claimed to have in his hand a list of205 State Department employees who weremembers of the Communist Party Millions ofAmericans believed McCarthyrsquos charges

During the next four years McCarthy contin-ued to accuse government officials and others ofbeing Communists His congressional subcom-mittee attacked and bullied the people it calledto testify Many federal employees resigned orwere dismissed as a result of McCarthyrsquos inves-tigations

Even the most powerful government officialshesitated to oppose him McCarthy often targetedDemocrats He and his Republican colleagues in

Congress saw anticommunism as an importantissue to use against the Democratic Party SomeRepublican candidates for Congress includingRichard Nixon successfully smeared their oppo-nents with charges of being soft on communismSuch tactics worked because so many Americansfeared the threat of communism

McCarthyrsquos DownfallIn 1954 McCarthy launched an investigation

of the United States Army He made alarmingclaims that Communists had infiltrated the mili-tary In a series of televised hearings watched bymillions of Americans McCarthy hurled wildaccusations at highly respected army officials

The televised Army-McCarthy Hearingsproved the turning point in the McCarthy inves-tigations For weeks Americans witnessedMcCarthyrsquos sneering and cruel attacks Towardthe end of the hearings Joseph Welch an attor-ney for the army said to McCarthy

ldquoUntil this moment Senator I think I neverreally gauged your cruelty or your recklessness Have you left no sense of decencyrdquo

Many Americans now came to viewMcCarthy as a cruel bully who had little basisfor his accusations Congress also turned againstMcCarthy In December 1954 the Senate votedto censure or formally criticize him for ldquocon-duct unbecoming a senatorrdquo Censure and the

CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

In 1947 a congressional committee held public hearings on the alleged communistinfluence in the Hollywood film industry Many witnesses called before the committeewere asked the same questions ldquoAre you now or have you ever been a member ofthe Communist Partyrdquo Two witnesses denied having communist ties but 10 othersrefused to give a straight ldquoyesrdquo or ldquonordquo answer In dramatic moments worthy of themovies these ldquoHollywood Tenrdquo challenged the committeersquos right to ask about theirpolitical beliefs One of the accused yelled ldquoThis is the beginning of an American concentration camprdquo

Cold War FearsThe Cold War intensified Americansrsquo fears of communist subversion or

sabotage Stories of stolen government documents and spy rings gripped thecountry in the late 1940s Then in 1949 Americans learned that the Soviet Unionhad built its own atomic bomb

Many Americans worried that Communist spies and sympathizersmdashpeoplefriendly to Communists or ldquoRedsrdquo as they were knownmdashhad penetrated alllevels of American society and were attempting to weaken the government

807CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

This Red Scare dominated the nationrsquos politicsfor years and led to a massive hunt to uncoverCommunists In this climate of fear few Ameri-cans were safe from accusations of disloyaltymdashnot even the president

Republican critics began accusing PresidentTruman of being too easy on Communists In1947 Truman responded by ordering an investi-gation into the loyalty of all federal employeesMillions of government workers had to undergosecurity checks and thousands were investi-gated by the FBI Although the investigationsfound little evidence of espionage many federalemployees lost their jobs

Loyalty Oaths and InvestigationsMany state and local governments colleges

and businesses began similar campaigns touncover communist subversion Some organiza-tions required individuals to sign oaths swearingtheir loyalty to the United States Those whorefused risked losing their jobs

In 1950 Congress passed the McCarran Actwhich required all Communist organizations toregister with the government and to providelists of members President Truman vetoed theact ldquoIn a free country we punish men for crimesthey commitrdquo he said ldquobut never for the opin-ions they holdrdquo Congress overrode his veto

In 1947 a congressional committee the HouseUn-American Activities Committee (HUAC)began investigating communist subversion inthe nation In widely publicized hearings thecommittee questioned people about their knowl-edge of Communists or Communist sympathiz-ers Individuals came under suspicion because ofthe beliefs of their friends or coworkersmdashguiltby association The committeersquos activities fueledan anti-Communist hysteria in the nation

HUAC launched a sensational investigationof the Hollywood film industry rumored to befull of Communists A number of those whowere summoned refused to testify and severalscreenwriters and directorsmdashthe ldquoHollywoodTenrdquomdashwent to jail for refusing to answer ques-tions about their political beliefs or those of theircolleagues Reacting to public and governmentpressure film companies created blacklistsmdash

lists of individuals whose loyalty was suspi-ciousmdashthat barred people from working in Hollywoodrsquos film industry

American Spies RevealedIn 1948 Whittaker Chambers a magazine

editor volunteered to testify before HUACAfter admitting that he had spied for the SovietUnion in the 1930s Chambers accused AlgerHiss a former State Department official of giv-ing him secret government documents in 1937and 1938 to pass on to the Soviets

Chambers produced secret State Departmentpapers he claimed were written by Hiss andmicrofilm of other secret documents Chambersswore that he had received the microfilm (whichwas hidden in a pumpkin) from Hiss Investiga-tors could not prosecute Hiss for spying becausetoo much time had passed since the events had occurred However he was found guilty ofperjury or lying and sent to prison

Margaret Chase Smithof Maine was the firstwoman to be elected toboth houses of Congress

First elected to theHouse in 1940 Smithmade many contributionsduring her four termsDuring World War II sheworked to improve theposition of women in themilitary She played amajor role in the passage

of a new law theWomenrsquos Armed ServicesIntegration Act (1948)that allowed women toserve as permanent regu-lar members of thenationrsquos military forces

Smith also served fourterms in the SenateNever afraid to speak outon the issues she wasone of the first to con-demn the tactics used by

Senator Joseph McCarthyin his crusade againstcommunism

In 1964 Smith was oneof the presidential nomi-nees at the RepublicanNational Conventionmaking her the firstwoman to have her nameplaced in nomination by amajor political party

The most dramatic spy case to come beforeHUAC involved the atomic bomb Julius andEthel Rosenberg a New York couple who weremembers of the Communist Party were accusedof plotting to pass secret information about theatomic bomb to the Soviet Union Brought totrial in 1951 the Rosenbergs were convicted andsentenced to death The judge in the casedeclared their crime ldquoworse than murderrdquo

Groups around the world protested the sen-tence as a gross injustice but higher courtsupheld the death sentence decision Executed in1953 the Rosenbergs maintained their inno-cence to the end and claimed that they were per-secuted because of their political beliefs

Explaining What did the McCarranAct require

McCarthyismFrom 1950 to 1954 the hunt for Communists

in America was dominated by Senator JosephMcCarthy of Wisconsin During those yearsMcCarthy publicly attacked many peopleallegedmdashdeclared without proofmdashto be Com-

munists His unfounded accusations destroyedthe careers of many innocent Americans andheightened the atmosphere of anti-Communisthysteria in the country A new word was coinedMcCarthyism which came to mean the use ofunproved accusations against political oppo-nents

Joseph McCarthy rose to national attentionalmost overnight In a speech in Wheeling WestVirginia in February 1950 he announced thatAmerica had been betrayed by the ldquotraitorousactionsrdquo of certain individuals Raising a sheetof paper he claimed to have in his hand a list of205 State Department employees who weremembers of the Communist Party Millions ofAmericans believed McCarthyrsquos charges

During the next four years McCarthy contin-ued to accuse government officials and others ofbeing Communists His congressional subcom-mittee attacked and bullied the people it calledto testify Many federal employees resigned orwere dismissed as a result of McCarthyrsquos inves-tigations

Even the most powerful government officialshesitated to oppose him McCarthy often targetedDemocrats He and his Republican colleagues in

Congress saw anticommunism as an importantissue to use against the Democratic Party SomeRepublican candidates for Congress includingRichard Nixon successfully smeared their oppo-nents with charges of being soft on communismSuch tactics worked because so many Americansfeared the threat of communism

McCarthyrsquos DownfallIn 1954 McCarthy launched an investigation

of the United States Army He made alarmingclaims that Communists had infiltrated the mili-tary In a series of televised hearings watched bymillions of Americans McCarthy hurled wildaccusations at highly respected army officials

The televised Army-McCarthy Hearingsproved the turning point in the McCarthy inves-tigations For weeks Americans witnessedMcCarthyrsquos sneering and cruel attacks Towardthe end of the hearings Joseph Welch an attor-ney for the army said to McCarthy

ldquoUntil this moment Senator I think I neverreally gauged your cruelty or your recklessness Have you left no sense of decencyrdquo

Many Americans now came to viewMcCarthy as a cruel bully who had little basisfor his accusations Congress also turned againstMcCarthy In December 1954 the Senate votedto censure or formally criticize him for ldquocon-duct unbecoming a senatorrdquo Censure and the

807CHAPTER 27 The Cold War Era

This Red Scare dominated the nationrsquos politicsfor years and led to a massive hunt to uncoverCommunists In this climate of fear few Ameri-cans were safe from accusations of disloyaltymdashnot even the president

Republican critics began accusing PresidentTruman of being too easy on Communists In1947 Truman responded by ordering an investi-gation into the loyalty of all federal employeesMillions of government workers had to undergosecurity checks and thousands were investi-gated by the FBI Although the investigationsfound little evidence of espionage many federalemployees lost their jobs

Loyalty Oaths and InvestigationsMany state and local governments colleges

and businesses began similar campaigns touncover communist subversion Some organiza-tions required individuals to sign oaths swearingtheir loyalty to the United States Those whorefused risked losing their jobs

In 1950 Congress passed the McCarran Actwhich required all Communist organizations toregister with the government and to providelists of members President Truman vetoed theact ldquoIn a free country we punish men for crimesthey commitrdquo he said ldquobut never for the opin-ions they holdrdquo Congress overrode his veto

In 1947 a congressional committee the HouseUn-American Activities Committee (HUAC)began investigating communist subversion inthe nation In widely publicized hearings thecommittee questioned people about their knowl-edge of Communists or Communist sympathiz-ers Individuals came under suspicion because ofthe beliefs of their friends or coworkersmdashguiltby association The committeersquos activities fueledan anti-Communist hysteria in the nation

HUAC launched a sensational investigationof the Hollywood film industry rumored to befull of Communists A number of those whowere summoned refused to testify and severalscreenwriters and directorsmdashthe ldquoHollywoodTenrdquomdashwent to jail for refusing to answer ques-tions about their political beliefs or those of theircolleagues Reacting to public and governmentpressure film companies created blacklistsmdash

lists of individuals whose loyalty was suspi-ciousmdashthat barred people from working in Hollywoodrsquos film industry

American Spies RevealedIn 1948 Whittaker Chambers a magazine

editor volunteered to testify before HUACAfter admitting that he had spied for the SovietUnion in the 1930s Chambers accused AlgerHiss a former State Department official of giv-ing him secret government documents in 1937and 1938 to pass on to the Soviets

Chambers produced secret State Departmentpapers he claimed were written by Hiss andmicrofilm of other secret documents Chambersswore that he had received the microfilm (whichwas hidden in a pumpkin) from Hiss Investiga-tors could not prosecute Hiss for spying becausetoo much time had passed since the events had occurred However he was found guilty ofperjury or lying and sent to prison

First elected to theHouse in 1940 Smithmade many contributionsduring her four termsDuring World War II sheworked to improve theposition of women in themilitary She played amajor role in the passage

of a new law theWomenrsquos Armed ServicesIntegration Act (1948)that allowed women toserve as permanent regu-lar members of thenationrsquos military forces

Smith also served fourterms in the SenateNever afraid to speak outon the issues she wasone of the first to con-demn the tactics used by

Senator Joseph McCarthyin his crusade againstcommunism

In 1964 Smith was oneof the presidential nomi-nees at the RepublicanNational Conventionmaking her the firstwoman to have her nameplaced in nomination by amajor political party

The most dramatic spy case to come beforeHUAC involved the atomic bomb Julius andEthel Rosenberg a New York couple who weremembers of the Communist Party were accusedof plotting to pass secret information about theatomic bomb to the Soviet Union Brought totrial in 1951 the Rosenbergs were convicted andsentenced to death The judge in the casedeclared their crime ldquoworse than murderrdquo

Groups around the world protested the sen-tence as a gross injustice but higher courtsupheld the death sentence decision Executed in1953 the Rosenbergs maintained their inno-cence to the end and claimed that they were per-secuted because of their political beliefs

Explaining What did the McCarranAct require

McCarthyismFrom 1950 to 1954 the hunt for Communists

in America was dominated by Senator JosephMcCarthy of Wisconsin During those yearsMcCarthy publicly attacked many peopleallegedmdashdeclared without proofmdashto be Com-

munists His unfounded accusations destroyedthe careers of many innocent Americans andheightened the atmosphere of anti-Communisthysteria in the country A new word was coinedMcCarthyism which came to mean the use ofunproved accusations against political oppo-nents

Joseph McCarthy rose to national attentionalmost overnight In a speech in Wheeling WestVirginia in February 1950 he announced thatAmerica had been betrayed by the ldquotraitorousactionsrdquo of certain individuals Raising a sheetof paper he claimed to have in his hand a list of205 State Department employees who weremembers of the Communist Party Millions ofAmericans believed McCarthyrsquos charges

During the next four years McCarthy contin-ued to accuse government officials and others ofbeing Communists His congressional subcom-mittee attacked and bullied the people it calledto testify Many federal employees resigned orwere dismissed as a result of McCarthyrsquos inves-tigations

Even the most powerful government officialshesitated to oppose him McCarthy often targetedDemocrats He and his Republican colleagues in

Congress saw anticommunism as an importantissue to use against the Democratic Party SomeRepublican candidates for Congress includingRichard Nixon successfully smeared their oppo-nents with charges of being soft on communismSuch tactics worked because so many Americansfeared the threat of communism

McCarthyrsquos DownfallIn 1954 McCarthy launched an investigation

of the United States Army He made alarmingclaims that Communists had infiltrated the mili-tary In a series of televised hearings watched bymillions of Americans McCarthy hurled wildaccusations at highly respected army officials

The televised Army-McCarthy Hearingsproved the turning point in the McCarthy inves-tigations For weeks Americans witnessedMcCarthyrsquos sneering and cruel attacks Towardthe end of the hearings Joseph Welch an attor-ney for the army said to McCarthy

ldquoUntil this moment Senator I think I neverreally gauged your cruelty or your recklessness Have you left no sense of decencyrdquo

Many Americans now came to viewMcCarthy as a cruel bully who had little basisfor his accusations Congress also turned againstMcCarthy In December 1954 the Senate votedto censure or formally criticize him for ldquocon-duct unbecoming a senatorrdquo Censure and the

Senator Joseph McCarthyin his crusade againstcommunism

In 1964 Smith was oneof the presidential nomi-nees at the RepublicanNational Conventionmaking her the firstwoman to have her nameplaced in nomination by amajor political party

The most dramatic spy case to come beforeHUAC involved the atomic bomb Julius andEthel Rosenberg a New York couple who weremembers of the Communist Party were accusedof plotting to pass secret information about theatomic bomb to the Soviet Union Brought totrial in 1951 the Rosenbergs were convicted andsentenced to death The judge in the casedeclared their crime ldquoworse than murderrdquo

Groups around the world protested the sen-tence as a gross injustice but higher courtsupheld the death sentence decision Executed in1953 the Rosenbergs maintained their inno-cence to the end and claimed that they were per-secuted because of their political beliefs

Explaining What did the McCarranAct require

McCarthyismFrom 1950 to 1954 the hunt for Communists

in America was dominated by Senator JosephMcCarthy of Wisconsin During those yearsMcCarthy publicly attacked many peopleallegedmdashdeclared without proofmdashto be Com-

munists His unfounded accusations destroyedthe careers of many innocent Americans andheightened the atmosphere of anti-Communisthysteria in the country A new word was coinedMcCarthyism which came to mean the use ofunproved accusations against political oppo-nents
