​1. Rivalry, Mistrust Accord

Page Structure

The syllabus requires study of the three main phases of the Cold War. At appropriate times, we will 'step out' of this narrative in order to case study the significance of particular leaders and crises in depth:
1. The breakdown of the grand alliance and the emergence of superpower rivalry in Europe and Asia (1943–1949): role of ideology; fear and aggression; economic interests; a comparison of the roles of the US and the USSR
2. The US, USSR and China—superpower relations (1947–1979): containment; peaceful co-existence; Sino-Soviet and Sino-US relations; detente

3. Confrontation and reconciliation; reasons for the end of the Cold War (1980–1991): ideological challenges and dissent; economic problems; arms race

Long Term Tension between USSR and USA

WHEN DID THE COLD WAR START???
1) What were the key events?
The most common answer would probably be around 1947 - however, this is based on the fact that the US and the USSR were allied during WW2 and therefore the first evidence of semi-open conflict.
BUUUUT.... one could interpret things differently. Perhaps there is evidence that there was a Cold War BEFORE 1941 and that it is the WW2 years that are the aberration (i.e. simply a 'break' in the Cold War, rather than the period before it).

REVIEW: SO, WHEN DID THE COLD WAR START? WHO WAS TO BLAME FOR THE START OF THE COLD WAR?
There is no clear cut 'start' to the Cold War - as we have seen, some historians place it as early as the 1920s. However, the Berlin Airlift is probably the latest date, which may be useful for you as IB historians. However, when 'origins' does not mean the same as 'start'... we are not talking about a single event here.

2. The US, USSR and China—superpower relations (1947–1979): containment; peaceful co-existence; Sino-Soviet and Sino-US relations; detente

Between 1945 and 1950, devleopments in the Cold War had been affected by events in Europe. After 1950, the course of the Cold War was influenced by other factors, including:
- EVENTS IN ASIA
- THE NUCLEAR ARMS RACE
​- CHANGES IN LEADERSHIP OF BOTH THE USSR AND THE USA AND THE RECOGNITION OF THE NEED TO IMPROVE RELATIONS - WITH LIMITED SUCCESS.

a) Why did the Cold War Spread to Asia: The Korean War 1950-53

Starter
​In this lesson we will look at how the US policy moved from:

Containment in Europe... to Containment in Korea... to Rollback in Korea... to Containment in the world.

3. Confrontation and reconciliation; reasons for the end of the Cold War (1980–1991)​:​ ideological challenges and dissent; economic problems; arms race


a) What was the impact of the Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan?

 Brezhnev's invasion of Afghanistan is very significant for two reasons:
1. It ends detente
2. It opens up what is known as the second Cold War
The combination of the expense of the invasion of Afghanistan, it's huge unpopularity at home, the economic burden of attempting to compete in the 'Second Cold War' = reforming leader (Gorbachev). These reforms will (unintentionally) shatter the communist bloc and ultimately lead to the collapse of the USSR itself.

Don't get bogged down in the conflict itself - always keep an eye on its implications for the USSR and the Cold War in general. Click the icons below - make your own copy of the frame and the teacher presentation is also available.

b) How can we explain the end of the Cold War?
 Things for you to decide during this sequence of learning:
1. When did the Cold War end?
2. Did the USSR lose the Cold War or did the US win it?
3. How important was the 'law of unintentional consequences' relative to deliberate actions in ending the Cold War?

Your Learning in this unit will follow the following sequence:
1) SEQUENCE OF EVENTS: Use the teacher presentation, the video, and the textbook pages as a class to place the key events in Eastern Europe and the USSR which led to the end of the Cold War in a timeline

2) THEMATIC ANALYSIS: Use source material to identify the key thematic arguments for the end of the Cold War and read an article to elaborate them as a group

3) CURRENT HISTORIOGRAPHY: Use the Lecture from Dr Pravda of Oxford University to get the most up to date view on this on your own

4) PLAN AND WRITE AN ESSAY: Use the essay planning frame to plan an answer to one of the essays below. You will select and write one of these for homework
