The cold war began due to confrontations over post-wwii decisions made about which part of the world?

a. north america
b. middle east
c. africa
d. europe

Explanation:

The western members of the Allies (Britain, France and the United States) and their wartime partner in the alliance, the Soviet Union, were at odds over how Europe would be governed after the war.  The Western democracies wanted free and open elections in the countries of Eastern Europe coming out from under Nazi domination.  The Soviet Union wanted states allied and aligned with it to prevent any future aggression against the USSR (like how Germany had invaded).  The USSR ended up heavily influencing the Eastern European countries to align with communism, bringing them behind what Winston Churchill called "The Iron Curtain."

The situation of Germany itself was also a tension spot.  Germany was divided between the four Allied nations (Britain, France, the USA, and the USSR).  The British, French and American sectors combined their governance of West Germany and West Berlin.  This prompted the Soviets to blockade Berlin (located within the Soviet sector of East Germany).  The American side responded with the Berlin Airlift to keep West Berlin free of Soviet control.

These were some of the events  fueling tensions in the Cold War that was developing between the USA and its democratic allies and the USSR and its communist partners.

background

early european explorers to the americas likely experienced emotions including awe at the vast "new" environment, amazement at meeting "others," the thrill of the unknown, concern for personal safety, desire for personal reward, and longing for their homeland and those left behind. written and pictorial records attributed to europeans provide the bulk of the records of these early travels. impressions of natives as well as native impressions of europeans are frequently framed in the narratives of the explorers. examination of these records indicates the cautious and curious nature of first encounters.

significance

centuries of ignorance, prejudice, and opinions lacking evidence or scholarly research have tainted traditional views of the earliest meetings between native americans (first nations in canada) and europeans. students may come to recognize how the later period of continued exploration, settlement, and interaction was influenced by these early encounters from the st. lawrence river to georgia.
