• The USSR runs out of money first.
• President Reagan was a fierce anti communist.
Reagan’s Ray Gun
The Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI): Star Wars• "The weapons required included space-
and ground-based nuclear X-ray lasers, subatomic particle beams, and computer-guided projectiles fired by electromagnetic rail guns—all under the central control of a supercomputer system.”
• By using these systems, the United States planned to intercept intercontinental ballistic missiles while they still flew high above the Earth, minimizing their effects.
• At the end of the Strategic Defense Initiative, thirty billion dollars had been invested in the program and no laser and mirror system was ever used, not on land, not in space.

Berlin
Back to your Cold War Notes: The Berlin Wall
The Berlin Wall Goes Up The Berlin Wall Goes Up (1961)(1961)
CheckpoinCheckpointt
CharlieCharlie
Russians seek to stop the emigration of citizens to the West through West Berlin’s Airports
They build a wall around West Berlin and kill anyone who tries to cross.
The Berlin Wall was
erected in the night of
August 13, 1961. It was a weekend and
most Berliners slept while the East
German government
begun to close the border.
When the wall goes up in the middle of the night, people get trapped on one side or the other, away from friends and family.
For the next three decades, people try to escape. Its easy at the beginning, but later requires more and more patience, time, and genius.
First Victim
August 17, 1962• Peter Fechter, 18, a
bricklayer from East Berlin, is shot and left to bleed to death in full view of western media. Bystanders in the West tried to rescue him, but were prevented from it at gunpoint.
Over the course of the Wall’s existence, 133 people were confirmed killed trying to cross into West Berlin according to official sources, while a victims’
group puts the number at over 200 dead.
Ich bin ein Ich bin ein Berliner!Berliner!
(1963)(1963)
President President Kennedy tells Kennedy tells Berliners that Berliners that
the West is the West is with them!with them!
(Or that he is a (Or that he is a Jelly Donut. Jelly Donut.
Kind of both…)Kind of both…)
Standoff at the Wall• It began on October 22, 1961 as
a dispute over whether East German guards were authorized to examine the travel documents of a U.S. diplomat passing through to East Berlin.
• By October 27, 10 Soviet and an equal number of American tanks stood 100 meters apart on either side of the checkpoint.
• The next day the East Germans, backed by the Soviets, backed down.
What Cold War concept is this an example of?
June 12, 1987 President Ronald Reagan visits Berlin
and calls on Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to tear down the Berlin
Wall.
August 23, 1989,Communist Hungary removes its border
restrictions with Austria.
September 10, 1989 The Hungarian government opens border for East German refugees. More than 13,000 East Germans escape into Austria.
November 4, 1989 An estimated one million people attend a pro-democracy demonstration in East Berlin's main square. Within days, the East German Government resigns.
November 9, 1989 The East German government announces that visits in West Germany and West Berlin will be permitted. Thousands of East Berliners pass into West Berlin as border guards stand by. People begin tearing down the wall which
is opened.June 22, 1990 Checkpoint Charlie was removed on. A copy of the American guardhouse was erected on the original place on August 13, 2000.
October 3, 1990 Germany is formally reunited.
And the Wall came down…
