Cold War Term Matching
Match the following terms with their associate quotes or picture.

______ 1. Containment A. “It was essentially a bipolar conflict involving two great blocs that appeared to ‘superimpose’ their rivalry on the
rest of the world….It was a struggle carried on by all means short of war. There was a massive arms build up and
nuclear weapons made both sides virtually impregnable. Diplomacy was turned into a kind of ‘militarised thinking’
______ 2. Truman Doctrine that concentrated on building and strengthening alliances.”
B.
______ 3. Iron Curtain
______ 4. Marshall Plan
______ 5. Berlin Airlift
______ 6. NATO C. “I believe that it must be the policy of the United States to support free peoples who are resisting attempted
subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures. I believe that we must assist free peoples to work out their
own destiny in their own way. I believe that our help should be primarily through economic and financial aid, which
is essential to economic stability and orderly political processes.”
______ 7. Cold War
D. “[To] practice tolerance and live together in peace with one another as good neighbours, and to unite our strength
to maintain international peace and security, and to ensure, by the acceptance of principles and the institution of
______ 8. United Nations methods, that armed force shall not be used, save in the common interest….We have resolved to combine our efforts
to accomplish these aims. Accordingly, our respective Governments, through representatives assembled….Charter
….and do hereby establish an international organization.”
______ 9. Security Council
E. “….it is clear that the main element of any United States policy toward the Soviet Union must be that of long-
term, patient but firm and vigilant [restraint] of Russian expansive tendencies…[The US must resist] Soviet pressure
against the free institutions of the Western world [through the] adroit and vigilant application of counter-force at a
______ 10. Korean War
series of constantly shifting geographical and political points, corresponding to the shifts and maneuvers of Soviet
policy. [Such a policy will] promote tendencies which must eventually find their outlet in either the break-up or the
gradual mellowing of Soviet power.”
F. Communism was acting [there] just as Hitler, Mussolini, and the Japanese had acted ten, fifteen, and twenty years
earlier. I felt certain that if [the] South [part] was allowed to fall, Communist leaders would be emboldened to
override nations closer to our own shores. If the Communists were permitted to force their way into [there] without
opposition from the free world, no small nation would have the courage to resist threats and aggression by stronger
Communist neighbors. If this was allowed to go unchallenged it would mean a third world war, just as similar
incidents had brought on the second world war. It was also clear to me that the foundations and the principles of the
United Nations were at stake unless this unprovoked attack….could be stopped.”
G. “It is my duty, however, to place before you certain facts about the present position in Europe. From Stettin in the
Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic an [dividing line] has descended across the Continent. Behind that line lie all the
capitals of the ancient states of Central and Eastern Europe. Warsaw, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade,
Bucharest and Sofia; all these famous cities and the populations around them lie in what I must call the Soviet
sphere, and all are subject, in one form or another, not only to Soviet influence but to a very high and in some cases
increasing measure of control from Moscow.”
J. “It is logical that the United States should do whatever it is able to do to assist in the return of normal economic
health in the world, without which there can be no political stability and no assured peace. Our policy is directed not
against any country or doctrine but against hunger, poverty, desperation, and chaos. Its purpose should be the revival
of a working economy in the world so as to permit the emergence of political and social conditions in which free
institutions can exist…[The] United States Government can proceed much further in its efforts to alleviate the
situation and help start the European world on its way to recovery….”
K.
L. “[This] shall consist of fifteen Members….[and it shall have the] primary responsibility for the maintenance of
international peace and security….In order to promote the establishment and maintenance of international peace and
security with the least diversion for armaments of the world's human and economic resources, [this] shall [have]
responsible for formulating….plans to be submitted….for the establishment of a system for the regulation of
armaments.”
