The containment policy was adopted to stop the spread of Communism because the US feared that if communism spread to one country there would be a Domino effect and it would spread to all the neighboring countries and soon make there way to them. President Nixon wanted to lower the tensions between the cold war because of their disagreement between communism and capitalism so he created Detente.

**What knowledge about the Cold War did you learn from these three speeches?**

 * From these three speeches I have learned that in the Cold War it was based on Fear. The Communist were scared that Capitalism would spread and the Capitalist were afraid that Communism would spread. All of the countries talked down about the opposing Country and tried to get back at each other.**
 * In each speech they were telling the people that their way would benefit them more. Something I did not know was how Greece was In the middle. Soviets were trying to make them a communist country but they sought help. I have learned that the Soviets thought Capitalism caused war while the Capitalism thought the same about Communism and were trying to stop it from spreading.**
 * Stalin's speech helped me learn how they could be allies then enemies. They had different beliefs so became fearful because of their hatred for one an others beliefs. These leaders including Truman attempted to stop the spread of Communism or Capitalism because they loathed the beliefs.**

Questions on Berlin Wall


 * Korean War**

** Content Questions **: This turned into a conflict because there was two rulers, one who wanted Communism and one who didn't and the one who wanted Communism was supported by USSR and the others were supported by US. This did not lead to war because it settled at an Armistice, they decided that they would no longer fight even though they were not at peace because there was no point. This sheds light on the Cold War because the two sides disagreed with government but still came to an agreement so why cant it be done in the cold war.

 * List and Rank the three most important points gained from the poll. Explain your top choice.**

1. Taking steps to end the war because 62% wanted to take strong steps to end the war. This shows how the people felt about how the war ended and how they wanted it to end.

2. Approve signing an armistice because 69% wanted them to sign it. I think they mainly wanted it to be signed so the war could be settled and the fighting could stop.

3. Was the War worth fighting? I feel like this one is important because because most people said it was not worth it and that really demonstrates how the people really felt. They don't think it was worth it and they just wan tot sign the armistice and get it over with.
