Allied Powers (The Big Three )- Great Britain- USSR (Soviet Union)- USA
Axis Powers- Germany- Italy- Japan
Cold War AlliancesThis map shows how the United States and its allies and the Soviet Union and its allies formed opposing blocs of power during the Cold War. Europe was split between the communist allies of the Soviet Union in Eastern Europe and the non-communist allies of the United States in Western Europe. Other communist countries, such China and
Cuba, sided with the Soviet Union during parts of the Cold War.
Competing for Global InfluenceContest of Democracy vs. Communism
• Becomes a chess match to see who can influence the most countries
• Race to attract the loyalties of unallied countries and arm them
• Influenced both internal and external politics of every country on earth
Cold War Geopolitics Can the Communist
Unicorn’s horn of classless social structure hold up against the Freedom Unicorn’s hooves of capitalist opportunity?
How do these superpowers compete?
How do you influence nations to join your team?
What each “team” offers
USA and Allies 1. Promoted a version of
free market capitalism and democracy
2. Nuclear Missiles
Soviet Union and Allies1. Favored a centrally
planned economy and a socialist system (Citizens participated indirectly through Communist Party)
2. Nuclear Missiles
Both sides knew that as they continued to increase their control over countries, and arm them with nuclear weapons, there was a good possibility that both sides could be destroyed.

FOUR LEVELS OF GLOBALIZATION
Multi-domestic – Business has several
independent units in different countries with little communication
International– Headquarters in one
country with branches in other countries .
– Home country bias in other branches
Trans-national– Loosely integrated
business units in several countries
– Make an effort to address local needs
Global – View the world as a single
market and apply needs of all countries for success
