*Khan Academy Period 8 *APUSH Explained Period 8 1. Postwar DIPLOMACY [APUSH Review Unit 7 Topic 14] Period 7 2. Containment Strategy (Sect. of State George Kennan) A. "Truman Doctrine" – Truman pledges to give money and supplies (weapons) to Turkey and Greece to prevent spread of communism. PRESIDENT HARRY S. TRUMAN'S ADDRESS BEFORE A JOINT SESSION OF CONGRESS, MARCH 12, 1947 "It would be an unspeakable tragedy if these countries, which have struggled so long against overwhelming odds, should lose that victory for which they sacrificed so much. Collapse of free institutions and loss of independence would be disastrous not only for them but for the world. Discouragement and possibly failure would quickly be the lot of neighboring peoples striving to maintain their freedom and independence. Should we fail to aid Greece and Turkey in this fateful hour, the effect will be far reaching to the West as well as to the East. We must take immediate and resolute action. I therefore ask the Congress to provide authority for assistance to Greece and Turkey in the amount of $400,000,000 for the period ending June 30, 1948. In requesting these funds, I have taken into consideration the maximum amount of relief assistance which would be furnished to Greece out of the $350,000,000 which I recently requested that the Congress authorize for the prevention of starvation and suffering in countries devastated by the war. In addition to funds, I ask the Congress to authorize the detail of American civilian and military personnel to Greece and Turkey, at the request of those countries, to assist in the tasks of reconstruction, and for the purpose of supervising the use of such financial and material assistance as may be furnished. I recommend that authority also be provided for the instruction and training of selected Greek and Turkish personnel. Finally, I ask that the Congress provide authority which will permit the speediest and most effective use, in terms of needed commodities, supplies, and equipment, of such funds as may be authorized. If further funds, or further authority, should be needed for purposes indicated in this message, I shall not hesitate to bring the situation before the Congress. On this subject the Executive and Legislative branches of the Government must work together. This is a serious course upon which we embark. I would not recommend it except that the alternative is much more serious. The United States contributed $341,000,000,000 toward winning World War II. This is an investment in world freedom and world peace. The assistance that I am recommending for Greece and Turkey amounts to little more than 1 tenth of 1 per cent of this investment. It is only common sense that we should safeguard this investment and make sure that it was not in vain. The seeds of totalitarian regimes are nurtured by misery and want. They spread and grow in the evil soil of poverty and strife. They reach their full growth when the hope of a people for a better life has died. We must keep that hope alive. The free peoples of the world look to us for support in maintaining their freedoms. If we falter in our leadership, we may endanger the peace of the world -- and we shall surely endanger the welfare of our own nation. Great responsibilities have been placed upon us by the swift movement of events. B. Marshall Plan – US Gov. provided billions of aid and economic investment into war ravaged Western European nations ($13 billion - nearly $140 billion in 2017 dollars). Goal was to prevent the spread of Soviet Union (communism) by strengthening the capitalist countries of Western Europe. Countries also became exclusive trade partners with US (benefit to US industry/economy). US Foreign Aid over time. C. NATO (1949) – alliance to oppose Soviet expansion into Western Europe. Soviets form Warsaw Pact to oppose Nato (Chamberlin calls it the Iron Curtin) 3. Heimler Period 8 - Early Cold War

Hi Everyone,
Unfortunately, I have to be out of school today. Please use class time today to complete the following tasks. 1. Review the APUSH DBQ in preparation for the test on Thursday. A. Carefully reread the "How to DBQ" instructional document. Please, please, please do not skip this. Based on the results of the "Organized Labor DBQ" most of you can still really benefit from a close reading, especially as we get closer to the AP test! Pay particular attention to the section that describes each of the DBQ rubric points (the last page)! At this point, it is your responsibility to make sure you understand how your DBQ will be assessed/graded. B. View any comments I made on your Organized Labor DBQ. Follow these steps to view the comments if you don't know how: 1. Open your Google Drive App 2. Find the Folder titled "Classroom" you can search for the assignment Title 3. Find the Class Folder (Titled AP US History) 4. Find the Assignment Folder (Titled: Organized Labor DBQ) 5. Click on your essay file C. Review the DBQ rubric 2. Continue preparing for 1988 Atomic Bomb DBQ for Thursday. A. For Essay - here's what you can take to the test:
B. You will need to hand write this essay on lined paper. Come see me tomorrow (if you are in school) if you want some from me. You are free to also use your own - I don't require any specific kind. If you are in class on Thursday, you will get some from me then. C. I will hold optional "Office Hours" on Wednesday 4/7 from 10:00-11:00 am via Zoom to answer questions about the "Atomic Bomb DBQ". I am happy to answer clarification questions about the rubric, as well as discuss questions people have about this particular DBQ and its documents. Please come with specific questions! Use the same Zoom link that you use for class. 3. Continue preparing for the Period 7 test (MCQ section). I posted lots of prep materials for you last class, but wanted to post one more you. If you remember, at the start of Period 7 I required you all the sign up for the Gilder Lehrman APUSH Test Prep 1890-Present course that has been taking place on Saturdays. I'm sure you have all been attending the live sessions (...right...right...), but in case you haven't, I'm posting a link to the course page that has the video links to each class. Period 7 is covered in the first three sessions (each session is about an hour). And the instructor does an amazing job of explaining the key content that you need to know about Period 7 for the AP test! So this is another great resource to help prepare for Thursday's test (and the AP test - in a month!). Click here to access the course and videos. Thanks! Mr. Parise |
