Important Details
Questions? Important Key Terms to remember?
The victorious Allies held crime trials to punish
Axis leaders and occupied Axis countries to bring
democracy and ensure peace in the world.

    of the Holocaust at the end of the war and put
    Nazis on trial for their war crimes in the
    Nuremberg Trials.
  • Most important purpose of the trials was to
    show that political and military leaders COULD BE
    HELD ACCOUNTABLE for wartime actions AND
    discredited totalitarian ideologies.
  • Japanese atrocities also took place throughout
    Asia.

Nations in the role of peacekeeper, but went
beyond by taking on many world problems such as
hunger and disease

  • The Security Council is made up of 5 permanent
    members US, Britain, France, China and Soviet
    Union (Russia today)

    vote by the Assembly, and therefore differences
    between the US and USSR often rendered the UN
    ineffective.

The Alliance Breaks Apart

    between the US (and its allies) and the USSR (and
    its allies), without armed conflict between the
    major rivals
  • Stalins goal for Eastern Europe was to spread
    communism and create a buffer zone
  • Although Stalin promised free elections in
    Eastern Europe, by 1948 he broke his promise and
    communist nations were in place throughout
    Eastern Europe.

Differences between USSR and US Meetings

New Conflicts Develop
Main Idea

As Stalin was attempting to continue his
aggressiveness in Europe, the US was attempting
to counter him by building stronger democracies
so weakened countries wouldnt feel the need to
give in to communism.
  • Truman Doctrine Military and economic aid sent
    to Greece and Turkey to withstand communist
    threat
  • -rooted in the idea of containment (which would
    limit communism to areas already under communist
    control) and guided our foreign policy for years
  • Marshall Plan massive aid package offered to
    European nations who were war torn- offered in an
    attempt to strengthen democratic governments (so
    they wouldnt give in to communism)
  • Germany was divided into 4 parts (US, Britain,
    France and USSR)
  • -US, Britain and France united their parts as
    Western Germany (democratic)
  • -USSR was communist
  • Berlin (Germany capitol) was located inside of
    USSR portion of Eastern Germany, but was also
    split in 4 sections.
