Why did the Communists and
Capitalists distrust each
other?
- Ideologies
- The USSR was a
communist State
this meant:
- It was a one-party dictatorship,
elections WERE held but only
candidates from the communist
party could run.
- All big industries and buisnesses were state
owned, this meant that its industry could grow
rapidly but the standard of living was higher, but
unemployment lower as the state employed
more people.
- In the communist state the rights
of the individual were less
inportant than the rights of a
good society, which meant the
lives of individials were tightly
controlled.
- It was a one-party dictatorship,
elections WERE held but only
candidates from the communist
party could run.
- Capitalism
- The USA was a capitalist country, this meant:
- Free elections where anyone
can stand for candidate.
- Business and
property was
privately owned.
- Its economy was strong but the
system had both extremes, great
wealth and great poverty
- Free elections where anyone
can stand for candidate.
- The USA was a capitalist country, this meant:
- This ideological distrust was due to the differences
in systems, capitalists had more individual freedoms
with free elections and business but communists
had a more equal society a more equal wealth
distribution, though both had strong economies.
- More distrust came from the beliefs of the
people and their leaders, the soviet leaders
wanted more countries to be run the 'communist
way', where as the America public wanted the
world to be run the 'American way'

them.

the public, but also caused the public to fear and distrust the communists

than before, and the soviets distrusted the British more because
of the blame they received.

- Nuclear Weapons
- The US were the first to use nuclear
weapons in a battle. Unfortunately

shocked Stalin, increasing his distrust of
Capitalists further. In retaliation the
Russians Basically stole the secrets from
the US and tested their first in 1949,
destroying the US monopoly on Nuclear
weapons.

other as the Communists feared the Capitalists, but the
capitalists feared the Communists, causing distrust and
tensions to rise further, leading to Nuclear weapons to
be placed in Turkey and Cuba

- Korean War
- The Korean War shows us the distrust of Communists and
Capitalists in action. Soviets backed North Korea and the US backed
South Korea. When the south pushed North Koreans near the
Communist China border, China felt threatened. The Communist
distrust of Capitalism in China led to a massive attack by the
Chinese, forcing the US back to the 38th Parallel, where the border originally was.

McCarthy's accusations but the damage
was done and the Capitalist public was
more distrustful of the Communists.
