KNIGHT’S CHARGE• Write 4 complex sentences using the words “because”
(for 2) and “when” (for 2). Write them about WWII and the Cold War.
• Examples:
• BECAUSE the USSR and the US had different political and economic systems, there was a lot of tension between the two countries during the Cold War.
• WHEN the United States invaded the beaches at Normandy, many soldiers lives were lost.

CONTAINMENT RE-VISITED:• Containment: Capitalists want to treat
Communism like poison Ivy.
• Contain…Don’t agitate. If you agitate it, you get a nasty rash.
• So…you need to contain it to a specific area to keep it from spreading.

FIRST WORLD STRATEGY• “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”

DOMINO EFFECT THEORY• Domino Effect Theory: If any country fell into
communism, then other countries close by would also begin to fall. It would eventually lead back to the United States.

RED SCARE!• Capitalist citizens (Americans in
particular) were afraid that communists were out to get them.
• COMMUNIST HUNTING!
• A lot of people were accused (directors, actors, teachers, government workers, etc.) of being communists or communist supporters.
• A lot of the evidence presented was usually very “shady.” (not very convincing)
