 * __ Ronald Reagan __ was the president of the US when the Berlin wall fell in 1989. Also, he was the first president to truly connect and become friends with a Soviet leader, in the form of the Soviet General Secretary __ Mikhail Gorbachev __
 * __ NATO __ was formed by Western countries as a union against communism, and the Soviet Union responded to this by creating the __ Warsaw Pact __ to help preserve communism

__**APPARTS Charts**__ **Stalin APPARTS** **Churchill APPARTS** **Truman APPARTS**

__ **In class question 10/22/13** __ These three speeches had a lot of information that I already knew but went more in depth with it. I already knew about the whole "calling out through speeches" phase where Stalin would call out Truman and his view on capitalism and then Truman would retaliate. This is propaganda. They aren't directly saying it to one another but to their nation and they are expressing one side or in their case the "right" side. What I did learn however was that because of Truman and the doctrine he passed, Turkey and Greece remained capitalist countries. I also learned that although they didn't directly address it in the speech, each speech was meant to call out the opposing side.
 * What knowledge about the Cold War did you learn from these 3 speeches?**

 * __ Background to the Korean Conflict __ : **

Koreans often use the proverb “ ** when whales fight, the shrimp’s back is broken” ** to describe their country’s victimization at the hands of larger, more powerful neighbors.

The surrender of Japan to the allies at the end of World War II resulted in a new and unexpected development on the Korean peninsula: the division of Korea into two separate states, one in the North (the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, D.P.R.K.) and one in the South (the Republic of Korea, R.O.K.). In the final days of the war, the United States and the Soviet Union had agreed to jointly accept the Japanese surrender in Korea, with the U.S.S.R. occupying Korea north of the 38th parallel and the U.S. occupying south until an independent and unified Korean government could be established. However, by 1947, the emerging Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, combined with political differences between Koreans of the two occupation zones and the policies of the occupation forces on the ground, led to a breakdown in negotiations over a unified government of Korea.

__Opener On the Korean War__
 * **Do you Believe the Korean War was a Civil War or a Proxy War ( war that results when opposing powers use third parties as substitutes for fighting each other directly.)?**
 * I believe the Korean war was a proxy war because it was influenced by the USSR and the U.S. The USSR and the U.S. influenced both sides to go to war because they were influenced by diferent political views and one side wanted Korea as a whole to be a communist nation and the other side wanted Korea to be a capitalist nation as a whole. It was basically between the U.S. and the USSR and how they were fighting for the same thing only through North/South Korea. **
 * **Provide three pieces of evidence from the video to support your claim**
 * 1) **The USSR and the U.S. decided to meet up in Korea to discuss their current states and so they both decided on taking the North and the South and making them Communists/Capitalist**
 * 2) **China supplied arms and so did the Soviet Union to the North**
 * 3) **Occurred during the cold war so both sides were using the Koreans as puppets to fight for them**
 * 4) ** McCarther would make decisions for the South Koreans instead of having them make their own decisions **
 * **Pair/share responses and make revisions in red**

Questions on the Korean War


 * List and Rank the three most important points gained from the poll on your wiki. Explain your top choice.**
 * 1) The majority of the American thought that the Korean war was not worth fighting
 * 2) The majority of Americans trusted in Eisenhower
 * 3) Many people thought that the U.S. should take strong steps to end the war

This was my top choice because it showed that even though the citizens thought the war was not worth fighting for America went ahead and did it which kind of contraindicates what they were fighting for.
