44. John Kennedy And The Cold War
A discussion of John F. Kennedy as cold warrior, his belief in communist expansionism, and his role Category Society History Regional North America United States......Kennedy and the cold war Throughout official. While in Congress, he supportedall of America's overseas activities in waging the cold war.
http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/progjfk5.htm
Kennedy and the Cold War T hroughout his pre-presidential career, JFK was an active Cold Warrior. As noted, his first Congressional campaign boasted of taking on the anti-Cold War faction of the Democratic party led by Henry Wallace, and as a congressman he aligned himself with those who said the Truman Administration wasn't being tough enough, when he willingly attached his name to the chorus demanding "Who Lost China?" One does not even have to rehash his relationship with Joseph McCarthy to show how JFK willingly played the "tough on communism" issue in all his campaigns. In 1952, while running for the Senate, he proudly trumpeted the fact that during his first term in the House, even before Nixon had won fame for the exposure of Alger Hiss, JFK's work on a labor committee led to the conviction of a communist union official. While in Congress, he supported all of America's overseas activities in waging the Cold War. Even while running for President in 1960, JFK appealed to the "tough on the Soviets" issue by consistently hammering at Eisenhower for America's supposed lack of leadership, and America "falling behind the Soviets." It was JFK, promising more money for defense spending and American readiness when he charged Eisenhower for allowing a non-existent "missile gap" to develop between the U.S. and Soviet nuclear arsenals. And it was JFK, who during the debates with Nixon, charged that Eisenhower policy had resulted in the loss of Cuba.

    I. Introduction: How to Use This Packet
    The documents presented here are designed to be used in classes about Pacific Northwest history or US history. Although the documents deal specifically with events in Washington state, they are still potentially useful for a course about US history as a whole. As historian Richard Fried has observed, "'McCarthyism' is so often characterized in abstract terms that its meaning remains fuzzy. To sense the emotional bite of the Communist issue and to understand both how it affected life for those who ran afoul of it and how it shaped the nation's political culture, it is useful to look at specific cases." These documents allow students to explore such specific cases.

    COLD WAR AT CAMPGAW MOUNTAIN:
    Nike Missile Battery NY-93/94
    by Donald E. Bender
    For several years after the end of the Second World War, the United States enjoyed a unique nuclear monopoly. However, during 1949, the So Named for the mythical Greek goddess of victory, the history of the Nike missile can be traced back to the last months of the Second World War. At that time, the development of faster, high-flying military aircraft propelled by turbojet engines, and the limited deployment of such aircraft in combat by the German Luftwaffe, made it clear that new methods of defending against such aircraft would be required in any future conflicts. Together, the missile and booster rocket measured roughly 35 feet in length and weighed slightly over 2,400 pounds. Nike Ajax had maximum speed of over 1,600 mph, a maximum range of 25 to 30 miles, and could reach aircraft flying at altitudes as high as 70,000 feet. The missile was armed with three high-explosive, fragmentation-type warheads located at the nose, center and aft portions of the missile body. When the Nikes were first introduced, select cities and other strategic sites were already being defended by anti-aircraft gun batteries equipped with upgraded equipment of World War Two vintage. In the northern portion of New Jersey, such anti-aircraft batteries were located at Fort Lee, Paterson, Newark, Elizabeth, Fort Hancock and elsewhere. The advantage of the new Nike missile over conventional artillery was it was continuously guided to its target, regardless of any evasive action the pilot of the aircraft might take. By comparison, an artillery shell travels along a predetermined and fixed ballistic trajectory.

    The Fall of the Berlin Wall
    by
    Ursula Grosser Dixon
    Ursula's History Web

    From July 17 until August 2, 1945, a conference was held by the victorious powers who had defeated Germany. Truman, Churchill and Stalin met at Cecilienhof castle in Potsdam near Berlin. The Potsdam agreement, to a far greater extent than that of Yalta, determined the shape of post war Europe. Among other important decisions, they reached an agreement on how to divide the defeated country between them: Not only was Germany parted in four zones ( French as well ), but the capital of the Third Reich was divided into four sectors, with the Russians getting almost half of the city, which became East Berlin, while the Western Allies shared the other half into three sectors, which became West Berlin. During the following years Bonn became the capital of West Germany, and on Oct.6, 1949 the Russian occupied zone became the country of East Germany, a country with a truly grand new name, calling themselves The German Democratic Republic, with East Berlin its capital. We could travel freely from West to East, which we often did, as almost everyone had families in the Eastern part of Germany and East Berlin. Technically West Berlin belonged to West Germany, although geographically it was located in the center of East Germany. Anyone wanting to travel from West Berlin to West Germany by road or rail, had to pass through East German check points. In the early post war years these check points were under the control of Russian military personnel.

    FBI arrests alleged Cold War spies
    WASHINGTON (CNN) The FBI arrested three Washington, D.C., area residents, including a former senior Pentagon attorney, on charges of spying for Soviet bloc intelligence agencies during the Cold War and attempting to spy for Russia in recent years, officials said Monday. Authorities said the three would be charged with espionage in federal court in Alexandria, Virginia, Monday afternoon. The three were arrested over the weekend, and face charges of conspiracy to commit espionage, and attempted espionage on behalf of East Germany, the Soviet Union, the Russian Federation and the Republic of South Africa. FBI counter-espionage agents arrested 42-year-old Kurt Alan Stand, who allegedly became an agent of the East German government in 1972. Officials say Stand, a union official, recruited his wife, 39-year-old Theresa Squillacote of Washington, D.C., about the time they married in 1980. Squillacote had been an attorney in the office of a high- ranking Defense Department official from 1993 to January 1997. She took her Pentagon job under pressure from her East German handlers but did not like it, according to a criminal complaint filed Monday. "She viewed the Pentagon as a hellhole and a concrete bunker and said the job was chilling her," a criminal complaint said.

    Report: Clinton changes nuclear Cold War doctrine
    December 7, 1997
    Web posted at: 11:28 a.m. EST (1628 GMT) WASHINGTON (CNN) President Bill Clinton revised U.S. Cold War doctrine for nuclear forces and issued new guidelines calling for greater emphasis on deterring a nuclear war, The Washington Post reported Sunday. Clinton issued the directive last month to replace a doctrine signed by President Ronald Reagan in 1981. Clinton's decision marks the first time since the end of the Cold War that nuclear targeting guidance from the presidential level formally recognizes that no nation could win a protracted nuclear exchange, the Post said. However, the newspaper reports that the Clinton guidelines still call for war planners to retain options for nuclear strikes against Russia's military and civilian leadership as well as Moscow's nuclear forces. Several sources were also quoted as saying that the new guidelines would allow the broadening the list of possible targets in the event of a nuclear exchange with China. U.S. nuclear policy

    O PERATION U PHOLD D EMOCRACY , the U.S.-led, multinational intervention that restored Haiti's legitimate government, can serve in many ways as a paradigm of post-Cold War peacekeeping, embodying a number of features that have marked other peacekeeping enterprises. First, the operation proceeded in the sequence, initially employed before the 1991 Gulf War, of a UN Security Council "all necessary means" resolution followed by the creation of an ad hoc, multilateral coalition, which in turn fielded a multilateral force (MNF) that, in the Haitian case, was replaced by a UN peacekeeping forcethe UN Mission in Haiti, or UNMIH. Second, the operation dealt with an internal, not an external, conflict. Third, the objective of this operation was to restore a legitimate government and to provide temporary security support to a society moving from authoritarianism to democracy. Finally, both in its MNF and UNMIH phases, the operation made a significant, although perhaps insufficient, use of international police to supplement the efforts of its military component.

    Dien Bien Phu
    1954 battle changed Vietnam's history
    By Bruce Kennedy
    CNN Interactive It is seen by many military scholars as one of the great battles of the 20th century and a defining moment in the history of Southeast Asia. And yet the Battle of Dien Bien Phu receives rarely more than a passing mention in most history texts. After World War II, France was able to reinstall its colonial government in what was then known as Indochina. By 1946 a Vietnamese independence movement, led by communist Ho Chi Minh, was fighting French troops for control of northern Vietnam. The Viet Minh, as the insurgents were called, used guerrilla tactics that the French found difficult to counter. In late 1953, as both sides prepared for peace talks in the Indochina War, French military commanders picked Dien Bien Phu, a village in northwestern Vietnam near the Laotian and Chinese borders, as the place to pick a fight with the Viet Minh. "It was an attempt to interdict the enemy's rear area, to stop the flow of supplies and reinforcements, to establish a redoubt in the enemy's rear and disrupt his lines," says Douglas Johnson, research professor at the U.S. Army War College's Strategic Studies Institute. "The enemy could then be lured into a killing ground. There was definitely some of that thinking involved." Hoping to draw Ho Chi Minh's guerrillas into a classic battle, the French began to build up their garrison at Dien Bien Phu. The stronghold was located at the bottom of a bowl-shaped river valley, about 10 miles long. Most French troops and supplies entered Dien Bien Phu from the air either landing at the fort's airstrip or dropping in via parachute.
