Assignment task: (Post-War Prosperity and Cold War Fears, 1945-1960)
The Cold War was an ideological battle between the two major superpowers that emerged from WWII, the United States and the Soviet Union. This "war" never saw a direct battle between these two countries but many actions took place that impacted each other. This is part of what Chapter 28 covers. Write one to two-page essay that describes the course of action that the US took, culturally and militarily, in order to address the threat that the Soviets presented.
You should write least half page on the cultural battle (President Truman's domestic policy initiatives) and at least one half page on the military initiatives (President Truman's foreign policy).
The point here is to understand how we battled the Soviet Union without the use of bullets.
