Part 3 - Cold War Crises (The Cold War)

<ul>
	<li>🇺🇸 American &amp; 🇷🇺 Soviet soldiers met at the River Elbe.</li>
	<li>Symbolized the end of Nazi Germany thanks to the Grand Alliance&#39;s teamwork.</li>
</ul>

🤔 Quick thought: Imagine the excitement &amp; relief of that handshake! It&rsquo;s like two sports teams uniting after a championship match.

<ul>
	<li>1949: Europe&#39;s divided into two zones.
	<ul>
		<li>🇩🇪 West Germany (FRG) established after the Berlin Blockade.</li>
		<li>🇩🇪 East Germany (GDR) established a month later.</li>
		<li>Both became the physical representation of the Cold War divide.</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
</ul>

🌍 Real-World Example: Think of it like a school divided into two clubs, each with its own ideologies, supporters, and agendas.

<ul>
	<li>Grand Alliance Origins
	<ul>
		<li>June 1941: Nazis attacked Russia! 😲</li>
		<li>Britain (Churchill) &amp; USA (Roosevelt) supported the Soviets.</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>But... Churchill&rsquo;s trust level? 📉
	<ul>
		<li>Famous Quote: &ldquo;If Hitler invaded Hell, I&rsquo;d praise the Devil in the House of Commons.&rdquo; 😂</li>
		<li>Translation: He disliked Stalin but would cooperate against a common enemy.</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
</ul>

🧐 Fun Fact: Churchill was pretty witty, huh?

<ul>
	<li>Stalin wanted a &#39;second front&#39; in Europe to divert German attention.</li>
	<li>Allies agreed, but timing was a debate. Stalin thought they were stalling to weaken USSR.</li>
</ul>

🎭 Real-world example: Imagine playing a video game where you need a friend&#39;s help to fight off enemies. Your friend promises to help but keeps delaying, making you question their true intentions.

<ul>
	<li>Tehran Conference, 1943
	<ul>
		<li>Location: Tehran, Iran (Imagine a historic meet-up in the middle of bustling bazaars!)</li>
		<li>Attendees
		<ul>
			<li>Stalin (USSR) 🇷🇺</li>
			<li>Roosevelt (USA) 🇺🇸</li>
			<li>Churchill (UK) 🇬🇧</li>
		</ul>
		</li>
		<li>Discussion Points
		<ul>
			<li>War&#39;s progress.</li>
			<li>Germany, Poland, Eastern Europe, &amp; Japan&#39;s future.</li>
			<li>The United Nations&#39; birth.</li>
		</ul>
		</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
</ul>

🍔 Real-world example: Think of these conferences as a trio deciding on where to eat. Some want burgers, others want sushi. But all must agree on one place!

<ul>
	<li>The Grand Alliance initially formed to fight a common enemy, the Nazis.</li>
	<li>However, mistrust &amp; different agendas eventually led to Europe&#39;s split into East &amp; West.</li>
</ul>

✍️ Homework Tip: Maybe create a comic strip or timeline to visualize these events. Make Churchill&#39;s quotes extra witty and let your imagination fly!
