How did cold war tensions affect american society

1 answer:

5 0

The Cold War touched many aspects of American social and cultural life, from the civil rights movement to survivalism, from Hollywood to the universities. The nuclear threat—and the Communist menace lurking behind it—brought the National Defense Education Act, the interstate highway system, and growing mistrust of government by both liberals and conservatives. In ways sometimes blatant, sometimes subtle, the Cold War left its mark on activities ranging from art and poetry to movies and comic books. Sports events became particularly prominent venues for rivalry, beginning with the London Olympics in 1948 and peaking every fourth year thereafter. Visiting artists, traveling exhibitions, and other cultural exchanges, both formal and informal, sometimes helped ease Cold War tensions.

Match the countries to the descriptions of events during and after World War I. Germany Ottoman Empire Britain Russia leaders wa

vova2212 [387]

Here are your matches:

BRITAIN: leaders wanted to punish Germany but also wanted Germany to be economically strong

In particular, Prime Minister David Lloyd-George wanted to avoid going too far in punishing Germany, as he felt that weakening Germany would only hurt Britain, since Germany and Britain had long had trade relationships prior to the war.

RUSSIA: pulled out of the war following a revolution

BRITAIN: signed a peace treaty with Germany

Could possibly also list Russia - see note below.

GERMANY AND OTTOMAN EMPIRE: was part of the Central powers

OTTOMAN EMPIRE: ceased to exist following the war

GERMANY: forced to pay large reparations and take blame for causing the war

A note to explain some items above:

The Treaty of Versailles was signed by the victorious Allies, including Great Britain. They required the signature of Germany as the leader of the Central Powers. Germany signed under protest because of the harsh terms of the treaty.
Russia also signed a treaty with Germany and the other Central Powers nations (Austria-Hungary, Ottoman Empire, Bulgaria). That was the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, which was the agreeement signed when Russia pulled out of the war.
