The Potsdam Conference was when the leaders of 

the U.S.S.R., U.S.A, and Great Britain met to discuss 

the division of Germany and the economy. The 

United States and Great Britain wanted to revive the

Berlin from the rest of the world so it would fall to 

Communism. The blockade was devastating to the

Everyone in the U.S. was scared that an atomic 

bomb might go off at any moment. To protect 

themselves, they created fallout shelters and 

stocked them with food and supplies. The U.S. also 

had regular duck and cover drills at schools and also 

televised in order to add a sense of security for 

American citizens. This led to Massive Retaliation 

which could lead to Mutually Assured Destruction,

Americans believed that their was a missile gap 

forming between the U.S. and U.S.S.R. because the 

U.S.S.R. had more missiles. Cuba also became a 

Communist Country and was receiving aid from the 

U.S.S.R. This worried many Americans, causing JFK 

to give weapons to the members of La Brigada to try 

to spark an uprising in Cuba. The Bay of Pigs would 

be a failure and would embarrass America. There 

would also be the Cuban missile crisis because 

Soviet Union was setting up Nuclear Missile 

equipment in Cuba but the most important thing

The Space Race began when the U.S.S.R. was the

an assassin.   The report from the Warren 

Commission led to much speculation on who was 

responsible for JFK's assassination, but the most 

important thing about the Cold War was the 

containment of Communism.
