Cuban Missile Crisis (1962)
The confrontation began on October 14,
1962, when U.S. reconnaissance
photographs taken by an American U-2
spy plane revealed missile bases being
built in Cuba, in response to similar U.S.
bases built at the Turkish-Soviet border.
After a tense confrontation on
October 28, 1962, both U.S.
President John F. Kennedy and
Soviet General Secretary Nikita
Khrushchev, with the intercession of
U.N. Secretary-General U Thant,
agreed to remove their respective
nuclear missiles. This is as close as
we have ever come to nuclear war.

Cold War Map- Cuban Missile
Crisis
• Choose a symbol to represent the Cuban Missile
Crisis and put it on Cuba on your map.
• In your map key (on the Left), indicate that your
symbol represents the Cuban Missile Crisis.
• On the back of this paper explain what the Cuban
Missile Crisis was.
• Put the Cuban Missile Crisis on the time line in
1962
Propaganda
Add Propaganda to the Back of your Cold
War Map
Propaganda- an advertisement that attempts to
spread ideas or promote a cause
Cold War Propaganda was mostly about
controlling information. Governments only
wanted their people to know certain things
about what was going on in the war. They
also wanted to make sure they had public
support, so they tried to guarantee victories for
every contest, or at least tried to scare people
into wanting to continue the fight.
Propaganda
Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty
Maintaining Communism, especially when it wasn’t working well,
was all about controlling communications. Soviet citizens wouldn’t
rebel to seek a Different life if they didn’t know that life could be
different.
Radio Free Europe was an attempt to communicate with the people
of Russia. It broadcast western music and propaganda to Russia,
bearing the message of the West: “Democracy and Capitalism are
Better…”
Get out a half sheet of paper
(you can share with a friend)
and label it Propaganda.
As you listen to the song
Russians by Sting, think about
the message he is trying to
give. Is this Propaganda or
Anti Propaganda? Explain.
Espionage
Knife
Gun
The Spy Wars between
Russia and the US were
legendary. Both countries
tried desperately to steal
each others secrets and
keep their own.
Failing that, they worked to
spread misinformation.
Gun
For example, the Russians
invented the MIG-29 high
altitude fighter jet to shoot
down an American High
Altitude spy plane that the
Americans never actually
built.
Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed as
Traitors for selling atomic secrets to the Soviets
U-2 Spy Incident (1960)
Col. Francis Gary Powers’ plane
was shot down over Soviet
airspace. He was violating a
treaty Americans had signed to
respect Soviet airspace. He
failed to commit suicide to the
great embarrassment of the US.

HW: In Chapter 17.4 look at the headings for the Cuban
Missile Crisis, the Civil War In Nicaragua and the War in
Afghanistan and add any details you don’t have to those
definitions on your map. Then add definitions for the 6
strategies of the Cold War (pg. 549) to the back as well.
Please Check your Chapter 17.3 Cornell
Notes Pg. 47A,B
to make sure they are complete with ASQ,
Vocab and Summary….
Please put them out on your desk to be
checked off.
Please get out your map…
Please put this definition the back of
your map
Proxy Wars (AKA Surrogate War)a war started by a major power that
does not itself participate directly.
The super power does not send its own
troops, but may supply support in terms
of weapons, money, training and
intelligence
Examples of Proxy Wars and the
Cold War
The USA and USSR never actually went to war with each
other. Instead, They often fought each other by
supporting the enemies of the other side. The
superpowers sometimes clashed in the most bizarre
ways, such as the World Chess Championships! Mostly
they looked for unstable governments and tried to give
enough support to make their favourite side win.
•The Vietnam War
•Civil War in Nicaragua
•Revolution in Afghanistan
Map Instructions: For each event find Vietnam, Nicaragua
and Afghanistan on your Cold War Map and choose a symbol
to represent each conflict. Label your symbol and place
each event on the timeline on the front, then write your
definition on the back of your map.
Vietnam War: 1965-1973
Americans followed a
policy of Containment
and sided with the South
Vietnamese to promote
Capitalism and stop the
spread of Communism.
Unfortunately, the People
of Vietnam wished to be
Communist. They fought
a dirty, guerrilla style war
against superior
technology and numbers,
but they won because the
American people turned
against the failed war, the
suicide missions and the
determination of the
Vietnamese.
What concept from the Cold War is this cartoon illustrating?
United Streaming: Causes of the Vietnam War
Civil War in Nicaragua (1979)
Americans supported
the unpopular
dictator Samoza.
When Communist
Sandinista leader
Ortega took control of
Nicaragua with
Russian support,
Americans funded the
Anti Communist
Contras to fight him
in Nicaragua and
other communists in
El Salvador.
Because of Foreign
support, this war
raged for 10 years
killing thousands and
ruining the
Nicaraguan economy.
Revolution in Afghanistan 1979 - 1996
Soviets back a communist military coup that seizes
the government of Afghanistan.
Americans give weapons and aid to the Mujahedeen
forces (Islamist peasants who opposed the non
religious people in power) challenging the Soviet
backed government.
The Soviets step up involvement and eventually
invade when the Afghani leader, President Takari,
begins a reign of terror. Meanwhile, Americans
channel more and more aid through Pakistan
(secretly) and demand the Soviets stop their
involvement at the UN (publicly).
With both sides of the Conflict well armed by the
USA and USSR respectively, Afghanistan falls into
civil war. The Russians, experiencing their own
Vietnam, pull out
Civil war and infighting between extremist factions
continued until the Mujahedeen’s Taliban seized
power in 1996.
What strategies have the Super
Powers used so far?
• Look at your map and tell your partner about the
kinds of things the US and the USSR did to prevent
the other from gaining power, territory or influence.
• Use this as a model:
“One way the US blocked the USSR in the Cold
War in __________(region) was
_____________(action to block the USSR)…
“One way the USSR beat the US in
___________ (region) was __________ (action to
beat the US)…

HW: Complete Cold War Metaphors
Metaphors:
• A figure of speech in which a word or
phrase that ordinarily designates one
thing is used to designate another
• The comparison of one thing to
another without the use of like or as
• The statement, "that man is a fox," is
a metaphor; but "that man is like a
fox," is a simile
Examples
• The economic events in the past few
weeks were the perfect storm for a
recession.
• Every day is an uphill battle.
• He showered her with gifts.
• The leader realized he had to step
up to the plate.
• The boss thundered into the room.
More Examples
• Relations between the two countries
began to thaw.
• Love is a flower.
Love may grow, blossom, wither
and die.
• The Internet is the information
superhighway. The Internet has
traffic; and it may be slow or fast; the
superhighway is paved with fiber
optics - better pavement facilitates
higher travel speeds.
With your partner:
• Create a metaphor to represent
Cold War tensions, actions and
events.
• Look at your handout for
instructions.
• You may turn in at the end of the
period or on Tuesday.
Metaphor of the Cold War

own) and:

• Add details to show a specific event(s) or action(s) between 1945 – 1970
Annotate (explain) the symbols and caricatures that you used
• Write the title of your metaphor. It should be written boldly across the top
and should follow this format:
•
The Cold War was a ______________________ . (e.g., poker game
between the two superpowers)
• Include a description as to how your metaphor is an accurate picture of the
Cold War at the bottom of the page.
Possible metaphor topics that you may use:
• Tug of War
Children fighting over a toy
• Chess Game
A cowboy gun fight
• Football, Soccer Game
