1. Read Source 12. What methods do you think Dulles had in mind to 'liberate captive peoples' without a war?
Dulles wants to "liberate captive peoples" with out waging a full on war against Russia, however he doesn't wish to do so according to the Truman Doctrine (aka containment). He beilieves that if the united states' only goal is to stop further communist advances than they (the US) will only be pushed back.

2. Look at Source 13. Would you agree that the Communist world was encircled? Explain your answer.
I would say no. Although the communist community in the '50s was very extensive it was not truly encircled because it was curaounded by nations that weren't strong allies of the US and the pacific ocean.

3. Carefully examine the verticle timeline on page 343. Then look back at Source 12. Do you think the development of nuclear weapons was what Dulles might have had in mind?
No I don't tink that the arms race was what Dulles had in mind because he didn't want to have a total war with Russia and had the nuclear weapons been used it would have meant the start of a huge and very devastating war between Russia and the US.
He also didn't believe in containment and america's build up of weapons did't really help the united states gain more land (free countries from communism).

4. Look at Source 16. What is the Soviet cartoon saying about the U-2 plane?
The Soviets saw the U-2 plane as a violation of privacy. That the US was spying on their activities and that this was not right. This is shown throught the illistraters dipiction of the plane as a telescope through which Truman? looks at the Soviet Union.

5. Read the Factfile on page 344. Explain why the USSR was so angry about the US spy flights.
The flights violated the soviets air space agreements. Truman once he had found out about the project called it off because of this. Although the U2 gathered a lot of information about the goings on in the soviet union the soviets were unable to shoot it down because of its extremly high altitude.

6. How would the USA justify this violation of Soviet territor
Through the use of propaganda.

7. If the USSR had had U-2 planes, do you think it would have used them? Why?
Yes I deffinatly think that they would because the entire piont of the cold war was that the US and The USSR fought to gain the best of what ever they could, space, weapons, technology and in order to do alot of this each side had to use spies to see what the other was up to. So if the USSR had U-2 planes they would definitly use them, they had already been yusing spies so it would not have been a huge leap to use planes in order to spy on the US.

8. Look at Source 17. Why do you think the USA had missiles based in Europe?
The US wanted to gain as many misslies as they possibly could. In order to ensure that this would happen they located them in many nations throughout europe. nations that were llies withthe US. This would give strength both to the US (by expanding its range for shootin misslies) and the smaller nations of Europe.

9. Define the term 'nuclear deterrent' in not more than 20 words.
A deterrent is something that discourages some one, an enemy, from doing some thing. In the case of nuclear weapons they acted as a deterrent in the fact that had either the US or the USSR sent a missile to the other nation that country would reply with one of equal or greater destruction capabilities. This meant that both nations were discouraged to send a bomb because they both knew that it would be suicidal.
