Votes:0 Cold War Cold War: Postwar Estrangement The Western democracies and the Soviet Union discussed the
progress of World War II and the nature of the postwar
settlement at conferences in Tehran (1943), Yalta (February
1945), and Potsdam (July-August 1945). After the war, disputes
between the Soviet Union and the Western democracies,
particularly over the Soviet takeover of East European states,
led Winston Churchill to warn in 1946 that an "iron curtain"
was descending through the middle of Europe. For his part,
Joseph Stalin deepened the estrangement between the United

Votes:0 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 co Read More Go to Site
