A Difference In Opinion
• 1945—the beginning of a long period of distrust & misunderstanding between the Soviet Union and its former allies in the West (particularly the US)– Soviet Union believed a powerful central
government should control government and economy
– US believed that businesses should be privately owned
![Page 7: Week 11 day 5- cold war](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081514/55493c06b4c905194d8b4d33/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Post-WWII Europe (1945)

“The Iron Curtain”
• Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin placed most of the Eastern European countries under communist control– “Eastern Bloc”
• The United States led the Western Bloc countries of Western Europe
• The imaginary line separating the two was called the “Iron Curtain”

stronger power.– The Soviet satellite nations were Bulgaria, Romania,
Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, and East Germany.

S-C-LS-C-L With your partner, discuss… Make a prediction- what do you

![Page 28: Week 11 day 5- cold war](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081514/55493c06b4c905194d8b4d33/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Berlin Blockaded!

plane– Day and night, British and American pilots flew in
tons of food, fuel, and raw materials.• How long did it last?

The Berlin Wall• Berliners hated living under communism• Luckily, West Berlin and freedom were
just across the street– About 3 million people fled to West Berlin looking
for political freedom and better lives – The East German government wanted it to stop
