The Cold War The Cold War was a war involving the USA

and the USSR in which no direct fightingactually occurred between the two countries,

but tensions were very high.

The USA and the USSR in 1945 were two very

different countries with very different beliefs:

The USA was capitalist The USSR was communist

Capitalism vs Communism

Separate the statements you have been given

into two categories:

Capitalist beliefs

orCommunist beliefs



11/17

Communism There should only be one

political party that represents

the working class.

There should be a variety of political parties

for people to choose between. The ones with

the most money will do best.

Everyone must work for the

state, not for private

businesses.

People should be free to start their

own businesses and make a profit,

even if working people are exploited.

We should only make as many

products as we need. The economy

must be planned.

We should make as many products as

we can and sell them for increasing

profits.

Capitalism

Fairness and equality for all! Freedom and opportunity for all!

We will enforce strict

censorship no-one should

criticise the state.

We believe in people having

freedom of speech on political

matters.
