  8. Jiang Jieshi Jiang Jieshi, the Chinese Nationalist Leader, controlled southwestern China. From 1942-1945, the United States sent the nationalists $1.5 billion in aid, but the money wasn’t used how it was supposed to be used because it fell into the hands of corrupt officers. The Nationalists army fought few battles against Japan, but saved it’s strength for Mao’s Red Army (the communists). http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jiang_Jieshi2.jpg Return to Exhibit

  9. Communist Society in China In 1950s, the communist government in China took steps to end the old system. One change involved women, they were now aloud to take part in politics. In 1950, a new marriage law guaranteed women equal rights with men. To the Communists, loyalty to the family, an important part to the Confucian social order, undercut loyalty to the state. http://www.google.com/search?safe=active&site=&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1366&bih=384&q=communists+party+in+china+1950s&oq=communists+party+in+china+1950s&gs_l=img.3...7355.18784.0.19182.31.11.0.20.20.0.188.1178.8j3.11.0....0...1ac.1.42.img..14.17.1263.kVr-6e2jDYM&surl=1#facrc=_&imgrc=AFT6DOy7c5JkcM%253A%3BJyUa8_TGoMlo2M%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Ffactsanddetails.com%252Fmedia%252F2%252F20080310-communist%252520party%252520leaders%252520in%252520mao%252520siuts%252520in%2525201950s%252520u%252520wash.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Ffactsanddetails.com%252Fchina%252Fcat8%252Fsub49%252Fitem309.html%3B452%3B286 Return to Exhibit

  10. China with the Soviets In 1950, the Communists controlled China.

The American B-29 bombers deployed the atomic bomb, killing 90% of the city. 80,000 people were killed immediately; tens of thousands more would die later due to radiation exposure. http://www.google.com/search?safe=active&site=&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1366&bih=384&q=hiroshima&oq=hir&gs_l=img.1.0.0l10.15768.16307.0.17906.3.3.0.0.0.0.95.279.3.3.0....0...1ac.1.42.img..0.3.264.zbd9ykhmnbo&surl=1#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=CCf6IBEnW4u5qM%253A%3B9RoAABOm_7kYBM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.revcom.us%252Fi%252Farticlepics%252Fmushroomcloud.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.revcom.us%252Fa%252F011%252Fburning-hiroshima-nagasaki.htm%3B1199%3B1607 Return to Exhibit

  15. Iron Curtain The iron curtain divided Europe into East and West. The Soviet Union controlled the eastern half, while the western zone became the Federal Republic of Germany in 1949. East Germany was named the German Democratic Republic. This lead to the worsening of the U.S- Soviet relations in 1946-1947, and also the berlin airlift. http://www.studyblue.com/notes/note/n/cold-war-and-the-post-colonial-world/deck/3032991 Return to Exhibit

  16. Berlin Airlift In 1948, France, Britian, and the United States and its allies clashes with the Soviets over Germany. The Soviet Union cut off highway, water, and rail traffic into Berlin’s western zones. The city faced starvation. From June 1948 to May 1949, Allied planes landed every three minutes in West Berlin. Pilots brought in 2.3 million tons of supplies. In May 1949, the Soviet’s lifted the blockade. http://forthesakeofhumanities-10.wikispaces.com/file/view/79602-004-3953EDBF.jpeg/339018246/79602-004-3953EDBF.jpeg Return to Exhibit

  17. Soviet Union In 1949, the Soviets exploded its atomic weapon which led to further technological advances. In 1955, the Soviet Union formed an alliance with the Warsaw Pact. They made the Warsaw Pact because they saw the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) as a threat. http://www.whycenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/soviet-union-collapse.gif Return to Exhibit

  18. Yalta Conference February 1945, the leaders of the U.S., Britian, and the Soviet Union met at the Soviet Black Sea resort of Yalta.

Germany also would have to pay the Soviet Union to compensate for its life and loss of property. http://envisioningtheamericandream.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/cold-war-swscan00805-copy.jpg Return to Exhibit

  19. 38th Parallel On June 25, 1950, North Korea crossed the 38th parallel in a surprise attack on South Korea. President Truman of the United States feared North Korea was repeating Hitlers actions from the 1930s, so he decided to help North Korea resist communism. The United Nations sent international forces to Korea to stop the invasion. By September 1950, North Korea controlled the entire Korean peninsula. http://www.findingdulcinea.com/news/on-this-day/June/Truman-Orders-Troops-Into-Korea.html Return to Exhibit

  20. United Nations The UN pushed the North Koreans out of South Korea and back into the north (near the Chinese boarder). The UN forces contained mostly Americans. The Chinese felt threatened by the troops, and in October 1950, they sent 300,000 troops into North Korea. By January 1951, they had pushed the UN back into South Korea. General Douglas MacArthur called for a nuclear attack on China, which was rejected by President Truman. This also lead to his release from the forces. http://norrishistory.weebly.com/uploads/8/8/4/8/8848237/206901557.jpg Return to Exhibit

  21. The Fighting Stops In 1952, the UN gained back South Korea from the Chinese and North Koreans. The UN military leaders and North Korea signed a cease-fire agreement in July 1953. The agreement meant the fighting would no longer continue, but that didn’t make up for the 4 million lives that were lost during the war. http://www.cleveland.com/plain-dealer-library/index.ssf/2009/11/our_front_page_korea_armistice_signed_hostilities_cease_july_27_1953.html Return to Exhibit

  22. After the War Although the war had ended, Korea remained divided. The two countries are separated by a demilitarized zone that still exists in the present day. Kim Il Sung of North Korea established established collective farms, developed a heavy industry, and built up his military which cause other countries to keep North Korea at arms legnth. http://inapcache.boston.com/universal/site_graphics/blogs/bigpicture/koreanwar_06_23/k16_01116017.jpg Return to Exhibit

  23. Before the War Ho Chi Minh a Vietnamese Nationalist, turned for the communists help in nationalists independence movements. In the 1930s Ho’s communist part led attacks on the French. The French put protesters in jail in return. The French wanted to execute Ho, but he fled to Vietnam where he founded the Vietminh (Independence) League in 1945. The French wanted its colony back, but Ho was sure independence was in the countries near future. http://www.nieuwsdossier.nl/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/ho_chi_minh.jpg Return to Exhibit

  24. The Beginning of the War Vietnamese Nationalist and Communists joined forces to fight the French military. The Vietminh (Nationalists and Communists) had support from the people throughout the country. The French surrendered to Ho after a defeat at Dein Bein Phu in 1954. http://www.businessinsider.com/algerian-war-france-pictures-2012-3?op=1 Return to Exhibit

  25. The United States View The United States had supported the French in the Vietnam war due to the fact they wanted to stop the spread of communism. President Eisenhower believed in the “domino theory,” meaning the Asian countries would fall to communism one after another. This was the basis of the U.S. foreign policy during the cold war. http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/ops/vietnam2-domino-theory.htm Return to Exhibit

  26. The Country Divides After the fighting ceased, an international peace conference met in Geneva to discuss the countries future. Vietnam was separated at 17° north latitude. The leader of the north was Ho Chi Minh (communists). The south was controlled by the United States and France, who set up an anti-communist government, lead by Ngo Dinh Diem. Deim ruled as a dictator in the south and began to strengthen the south and its army. http://www.psywarrior.com/DaiDoanKet.html Return to Exhibit

  27. The Marshall Plan After World War II, a majority of Western Europe was in ruins. In 1947, U.S. Secretary of State George Marshall proposed that the the U.S. give aid to the ruined European countries. The Marshall plan would provide food, machines, and other materials to rebuild Western Europe. Linked citation goes here Return to Entrance
