Stop               and               think               for               a               moment.

In               1946               the               world               already               had               the               computer,               television,               radio,               radar,               jet               aircraft,               rocket               technology,               automobiles,               submarines,               refrigerators,               telephones,               x-ray,               nuclear               power,               and               coca-cola.

True,               most               of               those               were               in               "primitive"               form               compared               to               today's               technology               but               still               the               basics               were               there.

The               point               is               that               not               much               has               changed               and               at               the               same               time               a               lot               has               changed               since               1946.

In               1946               the               world               emerged               from               World               War               II,               the               most               horrific               war               in               history,               and               was               still               digging               itself               out               of               the               devastation.

The               war               killed               70               million               people               possibly               as               many               as               100               million               with               perhaps               three               to               four               times               more               wounded.

Nations,               economies,               and               families               had               been               decimated.
               The               United               States               stood               alone               as               the               world's               sole               "superpower"               and               the               only               nation               with               the               atomic               bomb.

Russia               was               next               in               line               to               become               a               world               superpower               and               already               had               Eastern               Europe               under               communist               control.

China               emerged               from               World               War               II               as               a               communist               country.

In               response               to               the               perceived               growing               threat               of               communism               the               United               States               enacted               a               policy               of               "containment."               It               would               not               allow               communism               to               spread               any               further               in               the               world.
               It               must               be               remembered               that               World               War               II               had               just               ended.

The               leaders               of               the               US               and               other               nations               believed               that               in               the               decade               leading               up               to               the               war               the               free               nations               had               "appeased"               Adolf               Hitler               and               thus               allowed               him               to               plunge               the               world               into               war.

The               US               determined               there               would               be               no               more               appeasement.

The               Cold               War               had               begun.
               THE               COLD               WAR
               The               Cold               War               was               a               war               of               political,               economic,               and               moral               ideologies               between               Communist               Russia               and               its               satellite               countries               and               Democratic               United               States               and               its               allied               nations.

We               already               know               who               "won"               but               let's               take               a               look               at               some               of               what               happened               during               the               Cold               War               years               1948-1990.
               Berlin               Blockade               and               Airlift
               Germany               was               divided               between               East               and               West               after               the               war.

Russia               held               the               West               and               America               and               its               allies               the               East.

Berlin               sat               in               the               communist               west               but               was               also               divided.

East               Berlin               was               granted               land               and               air               corridors               but               in               June               1948               Russia               dictator               Josef               Stalin               blockaded               the               land               corridor               in               East               Berlin.

His               intent               was               to               control               all               of               Berlin               by               starving               the               population               and               bankrupting               its               economy.
               In               what               is               now               legendary,               Harry               Truman               ordered               a               round               the               clock               airlift               of               food               and               supplies               into               East               Berlin.

Truman               calculated               that               Stalin               would               dare               no               resort               to               shooting               and               he               was               right.

For               over               a               year               the               airlift               continued               at               its               height               13               tons               of               food               and               supplies               were               airlifted               into               the               city               on               a               daily               basis.

East               Berlin               remained               safe               from               Russian               takeover.

Stalin               lifted               the               blockade.

Round               one               of               the               Cold               War               went               to               the               United               States.
               The               Korean               War
               Japan               controlled               Korea               during               World               War               II.

When               the               war               ended               the               Russian               army               pushed               the               Japanese               down               the               Korean               peninsula               to               the               38th               parallel.

That               became               the               dividing               line               between               Communist               North               Korea               and               Democratic               South               Korea.

In               June               1950               North               Korean               forces               invaded               the               South.

The               Korean               War               began.
               Nearly               surrounded               in               their               capital               city               of               Pusan,               the               South               Koreans               were               on               the               verge               of               collapse               when               United               Nations               forces               led               by               the               United               States               counter-attacked               and               averted               disaster.

After               regaining               the               initiative               US/UN               forces               ignoring               Chinese               intervention               threats               pushed               the               North               Koreans               back               across               the               38th               parallel               and               pinned               them               against               the               Yalu               River               on               the               Chinese               border.
               Truman               and               everyone               else               believed               the               war               was               at               its               end.

They               began               contemplating               the               "rehabilitation"               of               the               North               Koreans.

It               was               not               to               be.
               In               October               Communist               Chinese               forces               began               massing               on               the               border               and               then               in               November               they               clashed               with               American               troops               for               the               first               time.

The               Chinese               threw               in               200,000               soldiers               and               forced               General               Douglas               MacArthur's               forces               to               go               on               the               defensive.

In               the               longest               military               retreat               in               US               history               American               forces               fled               south               while               the               Chinese               forces               and               frigid               winter               weather               nipped               at               their               heels.
               With               the               Chinese               in               the               fight               and               the               possibility               of               Russia               coming               in,               the               world               feared               World               War               III               moved               "ever               closer."
               At               one               point               President               Truman               contemplated               using               the               atomic               bomb               to               end               the               war               but               analysis               indicated               that               it               would               be               ineffective               and               counterproductive.

General               MacArthur               was               relieved               of               duty               for               his               disagreements               with               Truman               over               nuclear               and               conventional               bombing               of               the               Chinese.
               By               January               1951               the               Chinese/North               Koreans               had               retaken               the               land               north               of               the               38th               parallel.

For               six               months               the               opposing               forces               fought               a               see-saw               battle.

Then               from               July               1951               until               July               1953               it               was               a               stalemate               war.

An               armistice               was               signed               on               July               27,               1953               and               the               fight               ceased.

The               war               has               never               officially               ended.

The               threat               of               the               fight               resuming               still               looms               today.
               The               1950s
               During               the               1950s               the               "standard               operating               procedures"               of               the               Cold               War               were               formed.

Russia               and               its               satellites               enacted               the               Warsaw               Pact               to               counter               NATO.

The               Russians               created               their               KGB               to               counteract               America's               CIA.

Both               countries               began               spying               on               one               another               with               secret               agents,               wire               taps,               and               spy               planes.
               Meanwhile               The               CIA               overthrew               regimes               in               Iran               and               Guatemala               while               the               US               failed               to               intervene               in               an               anti-communist               revolt               in               Hungary.

Egypt               took               over               the               Suez               Canal               while               the               US               refused               to               intervene.

Russia               launched               its               Sputnik               satellite               and               sent               the               Cold               War               into               space.
               In               Southeast               Asia               a               little               country               called               Vietnam               was               divided               into               North               and               South               at               the               17th               parallel.

And               90               miles               from               Florida               Fidel               Castro               conquered               Cuba.

Communism               was               nearly               at               America's               shores.
               CUBA
               Bay               of               Pigs
               In               his               1960               campaign               speeches               John               F.

Kennedy               vowed               to               "expunge"               communism               from               Cuba.

President               Eisenhower               had               already               approved               the               creation               of               a               special               paramilitary               force               to               overthrown               Castro               under               the               direction               of               the               CIA.

When               Kennedy               took               office               he               approved               of               a               Cuba               invasion               on               the               beaches               of               an               area               called               "Bay               of               Pigs."               Many               of               Kennedy's               advisors               rejected               the               plan               but               because               they               knew               Kennedy               endorsed               it,               they               kept               quiet;               another               signature               characteristic               of               the               Cold               War.
               On               April               15,               1961               unmarked               B-26               bombers               attacked               Castro's               airbases               but               failed               to               destroy               enough               planes               to               gain               air               superiority               for               the               anti-Castro               forces.

Against               the               urging               of               the               CIA,               President               Kennedy               refused               to               order               more               strikes.
               On               April               16               and               17               some               1400               anti-Castro               troopers               went               ashore               on               the               beaches               at               the               Bay               of               Pigs.

It               was               a               disaster.

Cuban               aircraft               strafed               ships               that               carried               communication               equipment               for               the               invaders.

Landing               craft               were               grounded               on               a               coral               reef               that               the               CIA               failed               to               detect               in               its               planning.

Local               militia               attacked               the               invaders               and               kept               them               pinned               down               until               Castro's               army               arrived.

Less               than               200               of               the               1400               invaders               escaped;               1100               were               captured               and               slightly               more               than               100               were               killed.

In               1962               Castro               exchanged               the               1100               for               US               medical               supplies.
               The               Bay               of               Pigs               fiasco               and               Castro's               awareness               of               the               CIA's               operations               to               assassinate               him               (Operation               Mongoose)               served               only               to               draw               Cuba               and               the               Soviet               Union               closer               together.

In               1962               the               Soviet               Union               deployed               nuclear               missiles               to               Cuba.
               Cuban               Missile               Crisis
               In               October               1962               the               US               learned               that               the               Soviet               Union               (in               reality               Russia)               had               begun               deploying               nuclear               missiles               in               Cuba.

With               ranges               of               1000-2000               miles               the               missiles               could               easily               strike               the               US               mainland.

The               deployment               by               Russia               was               in               response               to               US               nuclear               missiles               in               Turkey               and               in               response               to               the               Bay               of               Pigs               incident.
               President               Kennedy               knew               he               couldn't               allow               nuclear               missiles               so               near               to               the               US               so               after               considering               other               options               he               ordered               a               naval               blockade               of               Cuba.

US               naval               ships               stopped               all               Russian               vessels               inbound               to               Cuba.

Meanwhile               secret               negotiations               were               underway               to               bring               the               crisis               to               an               end.

Matters               almost               escalated               out               of               hand               when               a               U-2               spy               plane               was               shot               down               over               Cuba               and               another               "strayed"               into               Russian               airspace.

Once               more               the               threat               of               World               War               III               loomed               large.
               The               crisis               ended               when               a               deal               was               struck               to               "exchange"               missiles.

The               US               missiles               would               be               removed               in               Turkey               and               Russia               would               remove               its               missiles               in               Cuba.

President               Kennedy               was               hailed               a               hero               but               Americans.

We               now               know               that               Russia               already               installed               tactical               nuclear               weapons               in               Cuba               in               the               event               of               another               invasion               and               that               there               were               40,000               Soviet               troops               in               Cuba               not               the               10,000               thought               by               Kennedy               and               his               staff.
               The               Cuban               Missile               Crisis               is               considered               a               turning               point               in               the               Cold               War;               good               and               bad.

As               a               result               of               both               sides               approaching               the               edge               of               the               precipice               the               famous               "hot               line"               was               installed               between               the               leaders               of               the               two               nations               and               both               sides               agreed               to               a               nuclear               test               ban.
               However,               also               as               a               result               the               Soviet               Union               determined               to               catch               up               with               the               United               States               in               nuclear               arms.

The               arms               race               escalated               and               the               Cold               War               grew               colder.

Its               next               theater               of               operations               was               the               tiny               country               called               Vietnam.
               THE               VIETNAM               WAR
               The               Vietnam               War               was               fought               in               five               stages.
               Stage               One               was               the               war               of               Vietnam               communist               nationalist               Ho               Chi               Minh               and               his               forces               against               the               army               of               France               which               held               Indochina               (Vietnam,               Laos,               and               Cambodia)               as               part               of               the               French               empire               since               1885.

War               broke               out               between               France               and               Ho's               forces               in               1946               and               ended               in               1954               with               the               withdrawal               of               France               from               Indochina.

The               United               States               paid               for               some               80%               of               France's               cost               to               retain               Vietnam.
               According               to               the               Geneva               Accords               peace               treaty               Vietnam               was               divided               into               North               and               South.

However,               Ho               Chi               Minh               was               still               determined               to               have               a               unified               Vietnam.
               Stage               two               of               the               war               was               the               civil               war               between               North               and               South.

With               the               approval               of               the               United               States,               South               Vietnam's               leader,               Ngo               Dihn               Diem               broke               the               Geneva               Accords               and               refused               to               hold               free               elections.

The               South's               communists               revolted               and               fighting               broke               out.

To               fight               the               insurgency               the               United               States               gave               the               South               billions               of               dollars               and               hundreds               of               military               advisors.

North               Vietnam,               aided               by               the               Soviet               Union               and               China,               responded               in               kind.
               Stage               three               began               in               1961               with               the               insurgency               escalated               into               full               scale               war.

North               Vietnam               increased               its               support               of               its               southern               comrades               and               President               Kennedy               expanded               the               role               of               US               military               advisors               in               the               south.

Also,               after               losing               confidence               in               Ngo               Dihn               Diem,               Kennedy               authorized               a               coup               by               South               Vietnamese               military               officers.

The               overthrow               ended               in               Diem's               murder               on               November               2,               1963.

Kennedy               was               furious               but               he               didn't               have               time               to               respond.

He               was               assassinated               20               days               later               on               November               20,               1963.

It               would               be               up               to               Lyndon               B.

Johnson               to               decide               what               to               do               with               Vietnam.
               The               coup               resulted               in               South               Vietnam               erupting               into               political               chaos               which               North               Vietnam               exploited.

It               stepped               up               its               aid               to               the               southern               insurgents.

In               August               1964               US               destroyers               in               the               waters               off               Vietnam,               Gulf               of               Tonkin,               battled               North               Vietnamese               torpedo               boats               and               sank               one.

Two               days               later               naval               officers               reported               the               destroyers               were               fired               upon               by               North               Vietnamese               vessels.

We               now               know               the               second               report               was               false.
               Nevertheless               three               days               later               the               two               incidents               precipitated               the               August               7               Gulf               of               Tonkin               Resolution               in               an               almost               unanimous               vote               by               the               US               Congress.

The               resolution               bestowed               war               powers               upon               President               Johnson.

Without               a               declaration               of               war               he               could               use               "whatever               means               necessary"               including               military               force               to               assist               any               allied               country               in               Southeast               Asia.

It               was               carte               blanch.
               By               early               1965               it               looked               as               if               South               Vietnam               was               going               to               collapse.

In               response               President               Johnson               ordered               the               bombing               of               North               Vietnam               and               began               sending               US               ground               troops               to               South               Vietnam.

Then               in               November               1965               US               combat               troops               fought               their               first               battle               with               the               army               of               North               Vietnam.

The               battle               of               Ia               Drang               was               an               overwhelming               US               tactical               victory.

General               Westmoreland               reportedly               predicated               the               war               would               end               by               1967.

Many               of               America's               allies               sent               troops               (not               Canada               or               the               UK).

Russia               and               China               stepped               up               aid               to               North               Vietnam.

The               war               became               an               international               battlefield.

Stage               four               of               the               Vietnam               War               had               begun.
               Stage               Four               was               a               bloody               stalemate.

US               soldiers               won               nearly               every               battle               they               fought               but               the               communists               were               expert               at               retreat,               concealment,               and               dispersion.

US               commanders               couldn't               devise               any               clear               cut               strategy               for               victory.

President               Johnson               escalated               the               bombing               but               to               no               strategic               importance.

Billions               of               dollars               flowed               into               South               Vietnam               and               then               disappeared               amidst               the               chaos               and               corruption.

By               the               end               of               1967               there               was               no               end               in               sight               to               the               war.

Young               Americans               back               home               grew               restless
               On               January               31               1968               the               communists               attacked               100               cities               in               South               Vietnam               in               what               is               known               as               The               Tet               (Vietnamese               New               Year               holiday)               Offensive.

The               early               attacks               caught               US               and               allied               off               guard.

General               Westmoreland's               headquarters               was               attacked               as               was               the               US               Embassy               in               Saigon               (South               Vietnamese               capital).

The               US               quickly               recovered               and               utilizing               massive               firepower               threw               back               the               attackers               but               in               the               city               of               Hue               fierce               fighting               continued               for               a               month.

All               of               that               was               seen               on               American               television.

The               American               public               was               shocked.
               Despite               the               near               decimation               of               the               communist               forces               by               US               troops               it               seemed               like               a               victory               for               North               Vietnam.

American               public               opinion               turned.

Lyndon               Johnson               was               too               worn               out               to               run               for               re-election.

Richard               Nixon               became               President               of               the               United               States.
               Stage               five               began               in               1969               when               President               Nixon               started               the               first               US               troop               withdrawals               and               peace               talks               began               with               North               Vietnam.

He               also               initiated               "Vietnamization"               the               process               of               getting               South               Vietnam               strong               enough               to               fight               the               war               itself.

It               was               also               the               beginning               of               Nixon's               détente               (easing               of               tensions)               with               the               Soviet               Union               and               his               rapprochement               (coming               together)               with               China               (PRC).

The               US               had               won               the               space               race               and               in               July               landed               men               on               the               moon.
               Nixon               didn't               want               to               be               bothered               with               the               Vietnam               War               any               longer.

He               ordered               secret               bombings               of               communist               bases               in               neutral               Cambodia.

Then               in               1970               all               out               attacks               into               Cambodia               brought               the               expansion               of               the               war               to               light.

Many               sectors               of               the               American               public               and               government               were               outraged.

Protests               on               American               college               campuses               were               legion.
               When               students               were               killed               at               Kent               State               and               Mississippi               State               the               US               Congress               gave               Nixon               a               deadline               to               remove               troops               from               Cambodia.

The               Congress               repealed               the               Gulf               of               Tonkin               Resolution.

America               would               get               out               of               Vietnam               but               when               North               Vietnam               launched               an               offensive               in               1972               Nixon               resumed               bombing.
               When               peace               talks               broke               down               Nixon               again               ordered               North               Vietnam               bombed               on               what               is               now               known               as               the               1972               Christmas               Day               Bombing.

Peace               talks               resumed               in               early               1973               and               an               agreement               was               reached               for               the               withdrawal               of               US               troops.

America's               Vietnam               War               was               over.
               In               1974               President               Nixon,               once               a               hero,               resigned               from               office               in               shame               following               the               Watergate               Scandal.
               On               May               1,               1975               Saigon               fell               to               North               Vietnam               and               Vietnam               was               unified               after               30               years               of               war               in               which               millions               of               people               were               killed.
               STRATEGIC               ARMS               LIMITATION               TREATY               (SALT)
               From               a               series               of               meetings               held               in               Helsinki               and               Vienna               came               the               first               Strategic               Arms               Limitation               Treaty               or               SALT               I.

Richard               Nixon               and               Russian               Leonid               Brezhnev               signed               the               first               ABM               treaty               in               1972.

Then               between               1977               and               1979               Jimmy               Carter               and               Brezhnev               engaged               in               a               series               of               talks               which               culminated               with               SALT               II               which               forbid               either               side               from               developing               new               nuclear               weapons.
               However,               after               Russia               invaded               Afghanistan               in               1979               the               US               Senate               failed               to               ratify               the               treaty.

Afghanistan               turned               into               Russia's               "Vietnam."               Meanwhile               the               US               plunged               into               its               own               crisis.

On               November               4,               1979               militant               Muslims               in               Iran               stormed               and               took               control               of               the               US               Embassy               in               Tehran.

Fifty-three               American               hostages               were               held               captive               until               January               20,               1981.
               For               30               years               the               US               and               the               Soviet               Union               had               used               the               world               as               their               chess               board.

The               pigeons               were               coming               home               to               roost.
               RONALD               REAGAN
               Ronald               Reagan               took               his               first               oath               of               office               on               January               20,               1981,               yes,               that               same               day               the               Iran               hostages               were               released.

We               learned               later               that               it               was               part               of               an               illegal               deal               to               sell               weapons               to               Iran               and               to               fund               insurgents               in               Nicaragua               (Iran-Contra               Scandal).
               From               the               start               Reagan               took               a               hard               line               toward               the               Soviet               Union.

He               called               it               the               "Evil               Empire"               (from               Star               Wars!?).

Reagan               trashed               détente               and               ordered               a               massive               build               up               of               the               US               military.

Together               with               Britain's               Prime               Minister               Margaret               Thatcher,               Reagan               began               a               campaign               to               dismantle               the               Soviet               Union.

He               predicted               that               communism               would               be               left               on               the               "trash               heap               of               history."
               With               Reagan's               approval               the               US               provided               secret               and               public               assistance               to               anti-communist               forces               around               the               world.

In               1983               and               in               defiance               of               previous               treaties,               Reagan               started               the               US               on               the               road               toward               a               national               nuclear               defense               system               (SDI               or               Star               Wars               as               the               press               called               it.)
               By               the               end               of               Reagan's               second               term               Soviet               economic               turmoil               was               beyond               repair               in               part               because               of               Reagan's               military               build-up               and               Russia's               inability               to               keep               up.

Also,               in               1985               a               Soviet               reformer               named               Mikhail               Gorbachev               came               to               power               in               Russia.

Reagan               and               Gorbachev               held               several               summit               meetings.

It               was               to               Gorbachev               that               Reagan               said               in               1987,               in               Berlin,               "Mr.

Gorbachev,               tear               down               this               wall."
               In               1989               the               Berlin               Wall               was               torn               down.

In               1991               the               Soviet               Union               collapsed.

The               Cold               War               had               ended.

A               new               war               was               about               to               begin.
