Containment - The idea that the US would contain the soviet expansion through limited military.
Airlift - Airlift When you use aircraftts to take out men and supplies from an area.

Truman worked tirelessly to clean the postwar mess and establish a new internal order. He helped create the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund(IMF). and funded the rebuilding of Japan under General Douglas Mac Arthur.
In 1947 Truman outlined the Marshall Plan, which set aside more than $10 Biullion for the rebuilding and industrializion of Germany. As a result, Western Europe exceeded prewar production levels within just a few years.
#3) "The Marshall Plan" had a goal of not spreading communism throughout the countries of Western Europe. At first, the massive economic aid to Europe , which met some resistance in Europe, failed because the Soviet-supported Communists took over the government, which caused the resistance to disappear. However, the plan contributed 13 billion to the rebuilding of the countries of Western Europe. No Western government in the region fell to a communist revolution which is what George Marshall predicted. Through this plan, there was no spread of communism in Western Europe!
iron curtian: a symbolic term for the seperation in germany during the cold war

2. Define Inflation and closed shop (pg 784)
Inflation: a rise in prices
Closed Shop: a workplace that hires only Union members
5. The United States were given a section of erlin and would be included in this republic as well. Even though the city lay within Soviet-held East Germany. The Berlin Blockade was Stalin's answer to the West's plans for west Germany. The soviets rushed into position around the edge of West Berlin. This was an outrage and was a main cause to the Cold War.
5. After the Soviet Union issued the Berlin Blockade on June 24, 1948, President Truman decided to not go down without a fight in his idea of reuniting Germany to help with the future of Europe. Stalin did not like this plan so he thought up the Berlin Blockade plan. He put Soviet troops into position around the edge of West Berlin and cut off all roads, supplies and water routes. In response to this the US began airlifting supplies into West Berlin. The US had airlifted day and night for more than 10 months and delivered about 2.5 million tons of supplies to West Berlin.

Truman proposed a policy known as the Truman Doctrine. It was a commitment to help nations threatened by communism and Soviet expansion. The congress gave military and economic assistance to Greece and Turkey to hold back the Soviets.
During the war, gov government price controls had kept the cost of consumer goods such as food and clothing quite stable. When the government removed these controls, prices began to surge. This rise in prices, or inflation, also resulted from a huge increase in consumer demand and spending. During the wary years, Americans had saved their money because many consumer goods were unavailable or rationed. Now they were eager to spend this money on new consumer products and services.
2) iron curtain: Winston Church believed that the divison between east and west was permanent. In 1946 he declared that an iron curtain had desended in Europe. He meant that the soviets had cut off eatern europe from the west.
containment: the united states would try to "contain" soviet expansion through limited military means and nonmilitary means in areas of the world that were of strategic importance to the united states.
airlift: american and british cargo planes began flying food, fuel, and other supplies into west berlin. the berlin airlift continued day and night for 10 months.
cold war: a war in which two enemies did not actually fight each other. instead each nation began building up its military forces and arms in an atempt to intimidate the other.
Congress approved the program of economic aid for urope, the Marshall Plan, which bevame a vital part of the policy of containment. Between 1948 and 1951, the Marshall plan contributed nearly 13,000,000,000 to the rebuilding of the countries of western europe. It gave them enough money to sustain government and they did not fall to a communist revolution. Without this aid they may have been taken over by a communist leader.
GI Bill of Rights: The G.I. Bill was an omnibus bill that provided college or vocational education for returning World War II veterans
Taft-Hartley Bill: is a United States federal law that monitors the activities and power of labor unions. The act, still effective, was sponsored by Senator Robert Taft and Representative Fred A. Hartley, Jr. and legislated by overriding U.S.
Strom Thurmond: James Strom Thurmond (December 5, 1902 – June 26, 2003) was an American politician who served as a United States Senator. He also ran for the Presidency of the United States in 1948 as the segregationist States Rights Democratic Party candidate, receiving 2.4% of the popular vote and 39 electoral votes.
Henry Agard Wallace (October 7, 1888 – November 18, 1965) was the 33rd Vice President of the United States (1941–1945), the Secretary of Agriculture (1933–1940), and the Secretary of Commerce (1945–1946). In the 1948 presidential election, Wallace was the nominee of the Progressive Party.
Thomas Edmund Dewey (March 24, 1902 – March 16, 1971) was the 47th Governor of New York (1943–1954). In 1944 and 1948, he was the Republican candidate for President, but lost both times. He led the liberal faction of the Republican Party, in which he fought conservative Ohio Senator Robert A. Taft.

Truman proposed a policy known as the Truman Doctrine. It was a commitment to help nations threatened by communism and Soviet expansion. The congress gave military and economic assistance to Greece and Turkey to hold back the Soviets.
winston Churchill-Part of the big three, British Prime Minister and one of the Allied Leaders. MEt at yalta to discuss post war world. Him and FDR feared Soviet domination.
Jospeh Stalin- Also part of the big three. dictator of the soviet union. HE made promises like to allow free elections but they all went unfulfilled
Harry Truman-Succeeded FDR. His first decusion as president was to form the new international organization discussed at yalta. 50 nations signed the charter creating the united nations
Mao Zedong-FOrmed new commuist state in china called the peoples republic. he won the civil war in china
Chiang Kai-shek-commanded mao zedongs troop. head of the of the chinese government.
Inflation was caused after WWII. As the war was going on, government price controls had kept a stable cost of the consumer goods such as food and clothing. However, there was a change when the government removed these controls and the prices began to go up. The rise of inflation was also caused by a huge increase in consumer demand and spending.
The Taft-Hartley Bill limited the actions that workers could take against their employers. It made the "closed shop" illegal. That is a shop that only hires union members. This bill also allowed the government to stop strikes that were taking place in work places, across the country. This bill reflected the government because the bill created stricter rules, which is why the bill was made because the government wanted to bring the hammer down.

3) The congress passed the gi bill of rights which granted millions of dollars in loans to returning gi's (soldiers) so that they could get an edcuation, start a business, etc., and get their lives back on track. Inflation of consumer goods had to be brought back under control since the government was no longer regulating the prices, most of these good were un available during war times due to shortages. As inflations out ran wages workers demanded increases in pay which did not come about until after millions went on strike.
Congress passed the GI bill to allow veterans from the war to go to school. When the government released control of consumer goods the prices went up during inflation. This also resulted because of a huge increase in demand for products.
38th Parallel: The United States and the Soviet Union agreed to divide the peninsula in half, so the Soviets controlled N. Korea and the Americans controlled S. Korea.
Seoul: The capital of S. Korea
Douglas MacArthur: General and hero of WWII, who commanded the UN forces.
Pyongyang: The capital of North Korea
At first the United States were trying to push back the Korean forces across the 38th parallel. The goals for the war began to change when China intervened in the conflict. This caused Truman and MacArthur to class about military strategy. They took back the city of Inchon by a daring sea landing. Encouraged by this success, MacArthur encouraged an invasion of North Korea. President Truman appealed to the United Nations and were granted rights to invade North Korea.
38th Parallel- The division of the peninsula in half along the 38th parallel of latitude, with the Soviets controlling North Korea and the Americans controlling South Korea.
Seoul- The capital city of South Korea which had been controlled by
Communist forces.
Douglas MacArthur- President Truman appointed him MacArthur, who was a World War 2 hero, to command the UN forces.
Pyongyang- captured by UN forces, this North Korean capital, on October 19th, and then moved north toward the Yalu River, part of North Korea's border with China.
the stalemate was when there was no movement / gain of land during trench warfare... both sides would gain some land, but lose it again because of the poor conditions and different technologies which were introduced during this time.
demilitarized zone is an area, usually the frontier or boundary between two or more military powers/alliances where military activity is not permitted, usually by peace treaty, armistice, or other bilateral or multilateral agreement.
Some organizatioins required individuals to sign oaths swearing their loyalty to the united states. Those who refused risked losing their jobs. The aim of the Oat was to make sure there was no comunism starting to form. That was the main key of the oaths.
Stalemate: a situation in which neither side was able to gain much round or achieve victory
Demilitanized Zone: a region where military forces could not enter between North and South Korea
Communist subversion- Americans feared that there was Communist sabotage. Stories of government stolen documents and spy rings rang through the nation spreading fear.
blacklist- was created by film companies. was a list of individuals whose loyalty was suspicious. This barred people from working in Hollywood.
perjury- accusing someone for lying in court.
allege- declare something without proof.
censure- formally criticize someone.
Chapter 27 section 4:
5.) Part of the Constitution is supposed to protect Americans from laws such as the McCarran Act. The part of the Constitution that is supposed to protect Americans from laws such as the McCarran Act is Truman veoted the act. "In a free country, we punish men for crimes they commit," he said "but never for opinions they hold."
Truman sent troops in to protect South Korea from North Korea and he appointed Mcarthur.
no, I do not believe that Truman should have let McArthur attack china. that would have started another (almost) world war. that was the last thing we needed. Besides, not shortly after that, we ended our problems with china.

section 3, number 3
When Truman found out that Korea had been attacked and was under an invasion he took imediate action. Instead of asking congress to send troops in he took teh matter into his own hands and order sea and air forces over yonder. this is called "police action".
Republicans set up proposa;s to enact a program that would limit government spending, contol labor unions, reduce government regulation of the economy, and reverse policies adopted in the 1930's New Deal. Republicans wanted to limit the power of unions so big buisnesses could expand. The Taft Hartley Bill limited the amount of actions workers could take against their emploiers. It outlawed workplaces that only hired union workers. This provision aimed to prevent any further strikes.Truman tried to veto the bill but the Republican-controlled congress overruled his veto.

- In 1950, Congress passed the McCarran Act, which required all Communist organizations to register with the government and to provide lits of members. President Truman vetoed the act. "In a free country, we punish men for crimes they commit," he said, "but never for the opinions they hold." Congress overrode his veto.
No! Because Truman didn't want to attact McArthur because it would have caused another World War. that was the last thing that we needed. Not long after Truman fired McArthur, we settled our disputes with China.
section 3 #3:
president truman asked un the send forces to defend the south koreans. the united nations condemned the invasion of south korea and agreed to send a special force to the region under the united states direction.
McCarthy's unfounded accusations detroyed many carreers of innocent Americans.
McCarthy ruined the lives of many americans by his unfound accusations; they lost their jobs.

The original goals was to push the communists back to north korea. after Macarthur had achieved the first goal he wanted to push farther, ignoring the warning from china he kept pushing until china struck. we lost much of the ground we had regained due to the chinese aiding the communist but we were able to push them back to the 38th parallel. knowing the war would drag on we setteled for peace, a cease fire agreement was on july 27th , 1953.
