**100 POINTS** NEED ASAP

What were the major events that started the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union after World War II ended in 1945? How successful was the Truman administration (1945-1953) in responding to the domestic and international challenges?

Answer 1

1. The North Atlantic Treaty is signed by twelve European and North American countries. The Soviet Union lifts the Berlin blockade. Truman signs the Housing Act, which creates a national housing agency and provides federal funding for slum clearance programs and low-income housing projects.

2. When Truman left office in 1953, his Fair Deal was a mixed success. In July 1948, he prohibited racial discrimination in federal government hiring practices and ordered an end to military segregation. The minimum wage had been raised, and social security programs had been expanded.
