Let’s face it - the USSR just could not keep up with the high cost of maintaining the arms race

1. China is no longer the junior partner. They are alike in 5 Year Plans and the Great Leap Forward - plans to advance the economy to an ideal communist state.
They don’t agree with each other’s style of communism (China - its all about the peasants. USSR it is about workers and heavy industry)
and....they seem to be a little more friendly with the US

2. Hungary was problem earlier but that “velvet revolution” was stomped out but in 1968 it is Czechoslovakia that is a problem
1968 Czech leader Alexander Dubcek was beginning
liberalization reforms - the Soviet Union sent troops into Czechoslovakia in 1968 to overthrow the current government and replace it with a pro-communist regime. This proved to the world that the Soviets were willing to use military force to keep their control over Eastern Europe.

Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty
1968Several major nuclear and even non-nuclear nations sign this treaty which is created to prevent the spread of nuclear technology.It did not prevent the spreadBUT - It was a success for people asking for arms controlbecause it did begin a serious mov’t to reduce arms
Cooperation is now the name of the game!

Many third world/developing countries intentionally adopt the nonalignment mov’t which means they won’t pick to side with either the US or USSR- leaves more options open for them.The non alignment mov’t gains political strength in the international scene

“We believe in nonaggression and noninterference by one country in the affairs of
another and the growth of tolerance between them and the capacity for peaceful coexistence. We, therefore, endeavor to maintain friendly relations with all countries, even though we may disagree with them in their policies.”
-Jawaharlal Nehru, Prime Minister of India
This statement describes the foreign policy known as... nonalignment

In the Six Day War of June 1967, Israel defeated the combined armies of Egypt, Syria and Jordan, capturing the West Bank, East Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip, the Golan Heights and the Sinai Peninsula. For Israel, it was a stunning triumph; for Arabs, a humiliating defeat.
Israel no longer occupies the Sinai or Gaza, but its continued hold over the other territories has stymied efforts to bring comprehensive peace to the Middle East.

3. stop the expansion of Japan into the Middle East
4. establish independent nation-states in the regions

Perestroika - Traditionally, a communist, or command economy, controls the means of production by having governmental agencies involved in production planning. But Gorbachev sought to increase production in vital areas by introducing individual free enterprise.*1. Wanted to improve the economy and decentralize decision making
* 2. more reliance on local and regional decision making
3. idea wasn’t to dismantle communism but to make it work more efficiently (though now it is thought to be one of the main causes of the break up of the Soviet Union)
