The Allies also helped Western European countries form stable, democratic governments and gave them money to rebuild. Then, Allied troops returned to their own countries. The story was different in Eastern Europe. After the war, the Soviet Union continued to occupy countries like Poland, Romania, Hungary, and the eastern half of Germany.

Communism is based on the ideas of the German philosopher Karl Marx. Marx published his beliefs in the Communist Manifesto in 1848. He said that capitalism and free markets divided people into classes (rich, middle, and poor). Marx believed that the poor would one day rise up, overthrow their wealthy rulers, and create a new society without economic classes. In this “classless society,” people would work together and share everything as a community. After the Russian Revolution of 1917, Russia became a communist country. Russia was named the Soviet Union. Who was the German philosopher whose ideas became the basis for communism?

One effect of World War 2 was the dominance of communism in Eastern Europe. In a 1946 speech, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill warned that an “Iron Curtain” had fallen across the continent of Europe. He meant that a dividing line now existed between the communist countries in Eastern Europe and the capitalist democracies in Western Europe. Who gave the speech warning about an “Iron Curtain” in 1946?

The Holocaust was the systematic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of six million European Jews by the Nazi German regime and its allies and collaborators. The Holocaust was an evolving process that took place throughout Europe between 1933 and 1945. Antisemitism was at the foundation of the Holocaust. Antisemitism, the hatred of or prejudice against Jews, was a basic tenet of Nazi ideology. This prejudice was also widespread throughout Europe. Nazi Germany’s persecution of Jews evolved and became increasingly more radical between 1933 and 1945. This radicalization culminated in the mass murder of six million Jews. During World War II, Nazi Germany and its allies and collaborators killed nearly two out of every three European Jews using deadly living conditions, brutal mistreatment, mass shootings and gassings, and specially designed killing centers.

Jewish children in Nazi Germany were forced to wear the Star of David. A Nazi decree mandated that all Jews in the Greater German Reich over the age of six wear a yellow Star of David on their outer clothing at all times when in public. Official order: On September 1, 1941, an order was issued that all Jews six years of age and older were forbidden to be seen in public without a Jewish star. The star had the word "Jude" (German for "Jew") inscribed inside it and had to be prominently displayed on the left side of their chest. Stigmatization and control: This policy served to publicly identify, humiliate, and isolate Jewish people from the rest of the population, making them easy targets for further persecution. For children, this meant being marked as an outcast in public and being separated from their non-Jewish peers. What symbol were Jewish children in Nazi Germany forced to wear?

Over time, Germany split into two zones—West Germany (Allied Zone) and East Germany (Soviet Zone). The Allies set up a democratic government in West Germany, and the Soviets set up a Communist government in East Germany. Germany’s capital, Berlin, was another point of conflict. Berlin was surrounded by territory controlled by the Soviet Union. However, the Allied nations held on to half of the city. Just like the rest of Germany, Berlin was divided into separate zones—East and West. West Germany was capitalist and East Germany was communist. What economic and political system was West Germany?

Many East Germans moved to West Germany to find better living conditions. One route of escape was through West Berlin. To stop the outflow of people, Soviet-controlled East Germany built the Berlin Wall. It was first constructed in the dark, early morning hours of August 13, 1961. The people of Berlin awoke to find a barbed-wire fence (later made of concrete) separating the city. Families and friends were separated. East German guards patrolled the wall. Germans caught trying to cross into West Germany were captured or shot. Why did many East Germans move to West Germany?

After World War II, the United States of America (U.S.A.) and the Soviet Union (U.S.S.R.) emerged as the world’s two “superpowers.” Both countries had the military and political strength to influence other nations around the world. There was a great deal of distrust between the United States and the Soviet Union. The two nations had very different ideas about government and economics. Disagreements between the two countries grew into a long period of tension and rivalry known as the Cold War. The Cold War was an indirect conflict that began after WWII and lasted until 1991. Both countries worried the other would become more powerful and spread its government and economic system to other countries. This period is called a “cold” war because there was no actual fighting between the United States and the Soviet Union, but the relationship between these countries remained tense and conflictual. Which two countries became the world’s superpowers after World War II?

During the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union competed with each other for power, natural resources and political influence. The United States challenged the Soviet spread of Communism and supported countries that wanted to form democratic governments. Inevitably, the U.S. and U.S.S.R. faced off in several major foreign conflicts. In addition, both countries built stockpiles of weapons, including nuclear bombs, in case the Cold War ever turned “hot.” This build-up of weapons was called the “arms race.” The U.S. and U.S.S.R. also competed to have the most advanced science and technology. To prove their superiority, both countries pledged to be the first nation to put a man in space and to land on the moon. This competition was called the “space race.” What were the United States and the Soviet Union competing for during the Cold War?

The weapons buildup, space race, and defense of Communist countries cost the Soviet Union a lot of money. Its command economy eventually faltered because there was little growth and a shortage of goods. Frequently, government planning left Communist countries with barely enough food and goods to meet their citizens’ needs. Protests broke out across Soviet-controlled nations as their citizens demanded freedom from Communist rule. Protests were strongest in East Germany where families and friends suffered separation for more than 30 years. Citizens in East Germany had suffered under Communist rule. The citizens of West Germany lived under constant threat of attack. The Berlin Wall was a powerful symbol of this forced separation. In 1989, massive protests in East Berlin forced East Germany’s Communist government to give up its power. Overjoyed, East Germans climbed atop the Berlin Wall and began to tear it apart. Germany was reunited, and a new government was elected in 1990. After German reunification, other countries began to break away from the Soviet Union. Between 1989 and 1991, the Soviet Union collapsed and split into 15 independent republics. The Cold War was over. What was one major reason the Soviet Union’s command economy began to fail?

A new Soviet leader named Mikhail Gorbachev came to power in 1985. He saw trade with western Europe and the United States as a way to help modernize the Soviet Union and improve its economy. To ease international tensions between the U.S. and the Soviets, Gorbachev decreased military spending. Perestroika and glasnost were two interconnected policies implemented by Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev in the late 1980s.
