1. Americans were scared when China became communist, the soviets created their own Atomic bomb, and when McCarthyism started spreading. China turned communist in 1949 when Mao Zedong defeated Chiang Kai Shek. This frightened Americans because china was a large global power and now the Americans were up against 2 giant communist forces. The Soviets created an atomic bomb in the same year (1949) which gave Americans all the more reason to be scared because now we weren’t the only ones with nuclear weapons. Lastly in the late 1940’s and 50’s McCarthyism spread and people were accusing others of being communist due to their own worries, especially General Macarthur who was accusing people in the federal government of being communist. Truman handled the situations of his time sufficiently by firing General MacArthur and allowing the hydrogen bomb to be built during his office. Eisenhower on the other hand did not help the frightened American. The cold war impact changed American culture into a bunch of rebels, after the conformism of the 50’s.
2. Kennedy was a good president due to his dealings with equal pay for women, limiting nuclear tests, handling the Cuban missile crisis, and dealing with the Berlin crisis. In June 1963 Kennedy signed the bill that made it illegal to pay women less for the same job as males. He also signed a treaty to make testing of nuclear weapons solely underground in 1963, which helped to not completely destroy the ecosystem of an area. During the Cuban missile crisis in 1962, Cuba was receiving nuclear weapons from the soviets and Kennedy ordered a blockade to keep anymore weapons from arriving in Cuba. This led to the eventual agreement of the U.S. no to attack Cuba and the soviets to withdraw all arms from Cuba. During the Berlin crisis, Khrushchev thought the u.s. were weak and demanded the u.s. pull out of Berlin so Kennedy sent more troops in, in 1961. Johnson had better relations with congress because he used Kennedy’s death to get many of his bills through congress.
