During the Cold War period, which lasted from the mid-1940s until the end of the 1980s, international politics were heavily shaped by the intense rivalry between these two great blocs of power and the political ideologies they represented: democracy and capitalism in the case of the United States and its allies, and Communism in the case of the Soviet bloc. The principal allies of the United States during the Cold War included Britain, France, West Germany, Japan, and Canada. On the Soviet side were many of the countries of Eastern Europe—including Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, East Germany, and Romania—and, during parts of the Cold War, Cuba and China. Countries that had no formal commitment to either bloc were known as neutrals or, within the Third World, as nonaligned nations (

San Diego , for information on obtaining Szilard images. Welcome to the world of physicist, biophysicist, and "scientist of conscience" Leo Szilard (1898-1964). How do you say it? Say SIL-ahrd. Szilard's ideas included the linear accelerator, cyclotron, electron microscope, and nuclear chain reaction. Equally important was his insistence that scientists accept moral responsibility for the consequences of their work. In his classic 1929 paper on Maxwell's Demon, Szilard identified the unit or "bit" of information. The World Wide Web that you now travel, and the computers that make it possible, show the importance of his long-unappreciated idea. This is an Internet Historic Site.

THE COLD WAR I. Origins of the Cold War Even before World War II had ended, the victors were competing to achieve the best possible postwar position. As long as a powerful common enemy remained in the field, the great coalition held together. The common interest in defeating the Axis states transcended and muted the latent rivalry and conflict between the Soviet Union and the two leading Western powers, Great Britain and the United States. Whatever the wartime cooperation had done to reduce the basic hostility that had previously marked Soviet relations with the leading democratic and capitalist states, the common heroism and sacrifices could not submerge the basic relationship that East and West were destined to assume toward one another. Rivalry is endemic to the nation-state system. The nature of the system compels every participant to provide its own security; and one nation's security is ant.her nation.s insecurity. The logic of the nation-state system breeds insecurity, distrust, rivalry, and hostility. In theory all members are enemy to the others, but in practice the international system at any given time does not generally comprise all nations attracting and repelling each other at random. Because all nations are not of equal strength or in exactly similar geographic relationships to each other, or uniformly willing to accept the status quo, individual nation-states sometimes modify the degree of hostility toward certain other nation-states in order to band together to enhance their security against another seemingly threatening single state or cluster of states.

127. Soviet Perspectives After World War II, Joseph Stalin saw the world as divided into two camps imperialist and capitalist regimes on the one hand, and the Communist and progressive world on the other. http://lcweb.loc.gov/exhibits/archives/cols.html

Revelations from the Russian Archives COLD WAR: SOVIET PERSPECTIVES After World War II, Joseph Stalin saw the world as divided into two camps: imperialist and capitalist regimes on the one hand, and the Communist and progressive world on the other. In 1947, President Harry Truman also spoke of two diametrically opposed systems: one free, and the other bent on subjugating other nations. After Stalin's death, Nikita Khrushchev stated in 1956 that imperialism and capitalism could coexist without war because the Communist system had become stronger. The Geneva Summit of 1955 among Britain, France, the Soviet Union, and the United States, and the Camp David Summit of 1959 between Eisenhower and Khrushchev raised hopes of a more cooperative spirit between East and West. In 1963 the United States and the Soviet Union signed some confidence-building agreements, and in 1967 President Lyndon Johnson met with Soviet Prime Minister Aleksei Kosygin in Glassboro, New Jersey. Interspersed with such moves toward cooperation, however, were hostile acts that threatened broader conflict, such as the Cuban missile crisis of October 1962 and the Soviet-led invasion of Czechoslovakia of 1968. The long rule of Leonid Brezhnev (1964-1982) is now referred to in Russia as the "period of stagnation." But the Soviet stance toward the United States became less overtly hostile in the early 1970s. Negotiations between the United States and the Soviet Union resulted in summit meetings and the signing of strategic arms limitation agreements. Brezhnev proclaimed in 1973 that peaceful coexistence was the normal, permanent, and irreversible state of relations between imperialist and Communist countries, although he warned that conflict might continue in the Third World. In the late 1970s, growing internal repression and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan led to a renewal of Cold War hostility.

131. Thaw In The Cold War: Eisenhower And Khrushchev At Gettysburg Information on a 1959 SovietAmerican summit and how President Eisehower s brand of diplomacy led to a temporary easing of cold war tensions. http://www.cr.nps.gov/nr/twhp/wwwlps/lessons/29ike/29ike.htm

Thaw in the Cold War: Eisenhower and Khrushchev at Gettysburg (Eisenhower National Historic Site) P erhaps a change of scene would make a difference. Dwight D. Eisenhower and Nikita Khrushchev, opposing leaders of the United States (U.S.) and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) at the height of the Cold War in 1959, had reached an impasse. Even at the informal setting of Camp David, with occasional escapes from the intrusive protocol and ever present advisers, the leaders were making little progress in their effort to lessen the tensions. As he and Khrushchev boarded the helicopter for the short flight from Camp David to the president's Gettysburg, Pennsylvania farm, Eisenhower hoped that the quiet, rural atmosphere would have the intended effect on Khrushchev. Eisenhower always found the farm "an oasis of relaxation." He and his wife, Mamie, purchased the farm in 1950; it was the only home the Eisenhowers ever owned. Though originally intended as a retirement home, it also served as a weekend retreat after Eisenhower's 1952 election to the presidency. The Eisenhowers especially enjoyed the glassed-in porch where they entertained family and friends, played cards, read, and watched television. Eisenhower also pursued his hobby of oil painting on the porch. He once wrote that if they ever built another home "it would be built around such a porch." On adjoining farms, Eisenhower raised his prize-winning herd of Angus cattle. Sharing this private side of his life with world leaders had proved beneficial for Eisenhower when he met with allies of the United States, including West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer and British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan. But would it work, he wondered, with his Cold War adversary? As they landed at the edge of the farm field in front of his home, he hoped this private meeting with Khrushchev would move the world toward peace.

Marc Trachtenberg UCLA Political Science Department 4289 Bunche Hall Los Angeles, CA 90095-1472 This website was originally meant to serve as a kind of supplement to my book, A Constructed Peace: The Making of the European Settlement, 1945-1963 (Princeton: Princeton University Press, February 1999). When it was launched in 1998, it had three main parts, each of which is still included here: Appendices to A Constructed Peace A discussion of declassification analysis , one of the methods used in the book, together with some illustrative documents; and 3) A practical guide to doing Cold War history. My plan was to revise the guide continuously, as new information became available and existing references became obsolete. And in fact I've revised the guide periodically: the current version reflects revisions made in October 2004. And I intend to go on revising the guide until at least 2009. In September 2004 I posted some new material on the site. This material overlaps with the old Cold War guide in some ways, but as a general rule it has a much broader scope. I'm referring here to two appendices to a book I've written (as yet unpublished) on "Historical Method in the Study of International Politics": Appendix I: Identifying the Scholarly Literature ( general version ucla version list of links ). This partly duplicates Part II of the Cold War guide.

This site is best viewed with a 4.0 browser and requires javascript Born June 15, 1914, in Russia, Andropov left school when he was 16, holding a variety of jobs before entering Komsomol (the Communist Youth League) in 1930. A beneficiary of Stalin's purges, he rose rapidly, becoming first secretary of the Yaroslav Komsomol (1938) and first secretary of the Komsomol Central Committee in the newly created Karelo-Finnish Republic (1940-1944). During World War II, Andropov took part in partisan guerrilla activities. After the war, he held positions in the Karelo-Party apparatus before being transferred to the Communist Party's Central Committee in Moscow (1951). Following Stalin 's death (March 1953) Andropov was demoted to Budapest as a counselor in the Soviet Embassy (1953) but promoted to ambassador to Hungary in 1954. Over the next three years he watched events that led to the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. Andropov played an important role in the Soviet decision to invade Hungary in 1956. His steady stream of reports to Moscow warned of growing unrest in Hungary. He also gave his views on the strength of the Hungarian leadership's position. Moscow's decision to invade was based in part on Andropov's reports. Andropov cabled a request for Soviet military assistance to Moscow from Erno Gero, first secretary of the Hungarian Communist Party. According to Maj. Gen. Bela Kiraly, former Hungarian military commander of Budapest, Andropov also assured the Nagy government that the Soviets had no intention of invading, although he knew otherwise.

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History COLD WAR The alliance was a temporary aberration in the post-1890s relationship. Even during the war the Soviets bitterly disagreed with their American and British partners over military tactics and postwar plans. President Franklin D. Roosevelt feared that Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin might again make a separate settlement with Germany, as indeed the Soviets had in 1918 and 1939. The fear of such a German-Russian deal haunted, and shaped, U.S. policy during and long after the war. The focus returned to Western Europe in 1948. The American Marshall Plan began to pump $12 billion into that part of Europe, which included a West Germany made up of the U.S., French, and British occupation zones. Stalin, fearing a revived Germany, responded by blocking western access to Berlin, which was deep within the Soviet zone although subject to four-power control. Military confrontation loomed, but Truman held West Berlin by flying supplies in over the blockade during 1948-1949. Now committed to ensuring Europe's security, Truman joined eleven other nations in 1949 to form the North Atlantic Treaty Organization ( nato ), America's first "entangling" European alliance in 170 years. Stalin countered by tying together the economies of Eastern Europe in his version of the Marshall Plan, exploding the first Soviet atomic device in August 1949, and (after fierce negotiations) signing an alliance with the new communist China in February 1950.
