Test # 11 Cold War
Students analyze the response of the United States to communism after World War II.
US.73 Describe the competition between the two “superpowers” of the United States and the Soviet Union in the areas of arms development, economic dominance, and ideology, including the role and location of NATO, SEATO, and the Warsaw Pact. (C, E, H, P)
US.74 Explain examples of containment policies, including the Marshall Plan, the Berlin Airlift, and the Truman Doctrine. (E, G, H, P)
US.75 Draw evidence from informational text to analyze the progression of American foreign policy from containment to retaliation and brinkmanship to the domino theory to flexible response. (H, P)
US.76 Analyze the causes and effects of the Red Scare that followed World War II, including Americans’ attitude toward the rise of communism in China, McCarthyism, blacklisting, Alger Hiss, J. Edgar Hoover, Estes Kefauver, and the Rosenbergs. (C, P, H, TN)
Estes Kefauver - Kefauver was a defender of civil liberties and populist therefore he sometimes took unpopular stances on issues in the post-World War II years. When Kefauver ran for the United States Senate in 1948, the state Democratic political boss, “Boss” Crump, worked very hard against Kefauver. Crump had paid for advertisements that pictured Kefauver as a secretive raccoon-like instrument of the communists. At a speech in Memphis, Crump’s stronghold, Kefauver put on a coonskin and said, “I maybe a pet coon, but I’m not Boss Crump’s pet coon.” Kefauver became the second person to challenge Boss Crump for a statewide position and win. Cordell Hull was the first in the 1920’s. Kefauver was the only member of the senate in 1954 to vote against a measure to make it a crime to belong to the Communist Party. Kefauver stood against the ideas of Senator Joseph McCarthy and the House Un-American Activities Committee. At the height of the Cold War, Kefauver believed that any effective effort against Communism as a political and economic system had to be fought internationally with American allies. He did not believe that American citizens should be treated as adversaries.
US.77 Describe the causes, course, and consequences of the Korean War, including the 38th parallel, Inchon, the entry of the Communist Chinese, the power struggle between MacArthur and President Truman, and the final disposition of the Koreas. (G, H, P)
US.78 Integrate multiple sources of information presented in diverse formats of the fears of Americans about nuclear holocaust and debates over the stockpiling and use of nuclear weapons, including atomic testing, civil defense, bomb shelters, mutually assured destruction, impact of Sputnik, and President Eisenhower’s warning about the military-industrial complex. (C, H, P)
US.79 Describe the relationship between Cuba and the United States, including the Bay of Pigs Invasion and the Cuban Missile Crisis. (G, H, P)

· Geneva Accords
· Gulf of Tonkin Resolution
· Tet Offensive
· Roles played by Presidents Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon

· Ho Chi Minh
· Bombing of Cambodia
