Review for Chapter 13

Utah in the Modern Age

Take out all of your papers from Utah Studies. Take out the ‘End of the Cold War’ and any other papers

you have, then work on your study guide. If you are 100% finished with your study guide (including

every question, all parts of the vocabulary, and the essays), show it to me. If I agree that you are done with everything, then you can work on any other missing/incomplete assignments.

The Cold War inspired musicians just like WWII, the war in Vietnam, and other conflicts did before. In the 1980s, many songs reflected fears of nuclear war, the desire for peace and anger at the governments/leaders of the U.S. and U.S.S.R. for not being able to resolve the conflict.

The 1980s saw the beginning of ‘pop’ music, songs that are designed to be ‘popular’. They are criticized as being

too simple in style and lyrics, but typically sell well because of their fun sound. During the ‘80s, Rock and Roll

took interesting turns with the development of Punk, Heavy Metal and Hair Bands. Latin music became a permanent

fixture of the music charts, and Rap and Hip Hop were first heard on the airwaves.

Soldiers from Hill Air Force Base and Utah reserve soldiers have been called up for duty many times. Utah, like the rest of the country, has been affected by the cost in lives and money from these wars. It is estimated that the U.S. has spent 2-6 trillion dollars on the wars and related costs. Over 5000 soldiers have died and more than 50,000 have been wounded in the conflict.

31. Explain the origins of the War on Terrorism.

The U.S. has had conflicts with countries in the Middle East for 30 years, and problems between the Middle East and Western countries (Europe & U.S.) can be traced back hundreds of years. Some, like Iran, don’t trust the U.S. because of coups staged in the ’70s and ‘80s. Many Islamic militia fighters (Bin Laden) were trained by the U.S. to fight the U.S.S.R but turned against the U.S. when American forces did not leave Saudi Arabia, etc. U.S. support of Israel has also been a source of conflict.

30. How did the U.S. defeat the U.S.S.R. in the Cold War?

The U.S. spent 1.5 trillion $ to arm the U.S. and our allies. The U.S.S.R tried to keep up while still taking care of their people, and their country went bankrupt as a result of the massive spending. The Soviets’ agreement to give basic human rights to all of their people encouraged thousands to protest and eventually try to break away from the U.S.S.R. The leader of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev, believed that people should not be forced to stay in the U.S.S.R. and allowed countries like Poland, East Germany, etc. to have sovereignty for the first time since WWII.
