Source A states that the USA wants to contain the spread of communism, thus showing that the USSR is a threat as it is attempting to spread communism in nations such as Poland, Romania and Bulgaria. Source B also shows that the USA sees the USSR as a threat as it depicts the UN attempting to lift the Iron Curtain while the US provides encouragement.

From A, " The government of the United States has made frequent protests against coercion and intimidation, in violation of the Yalta agreement, in Poland, Rumania, and Bulgaria." and from Source B, a man representing USA is seen encouraging UN in lifting the iron curtain. This tells us that the USA is working together with the UN to remove the threat of communism.]]> 2017-03-06 08:04:38 UTC https://padlet.com/chan_cheng_lin/y20gyx7ds0dq/wish/157939132 https://padlet.com/chan_cheng_lin/y20gyx7ds0dq/wish/157939350 Both sources are similar in portraying the threat of the spread of communism posed by USSR. This can be seen from source A, "United States has made frequent protests against coercion and intimidation, in violation of the Yalta Agreement". Similarly in south B, it shows the Iron Curtain divides Europe into communist and capitalist, and the allies are having trouble dealing with the spread of communism. This suggests that the allies see USSR as a threat because of the spread of communism across europe]]> 2017-03-06 08:06:10 UTC https://padlet.com/chan_cheng_lin/y20gyx7ds0dq/wish/157939350 https://padlet.com/chan_cheng_lin/y20gyx7ds0dq/wish/157939417 Source A and B are similar in showing that the USA has taken actions to contain communism. This is evident from Source A which states that 'we shall not realise our objectives, however, unless we are willing to help free people's to maintain their free institutions and their national integrity against aggressive movements that seek to impose upon them totalitarian regimes." This implies that the USA is willing to help countries to resist USSR influence, hence it shows that the USA is taking actions to prevent USSR from spreading communist influence to other countries and is hence containing communism. This is also seen in Source B, which shows USA as one of the countries trying to remove the Iron Curtain. As the Iron Curtain divides Eurpoe into 2 blocs with different ideology, it symbolises communist influence and hence ]]> 2017-03-06 08:06:41 UTC https://padlet.com/chan_cheng_lin/y20gyx7ds0dq/wish/157939417 https://padlet.com/chan_cheng_lin/y20gyx7ds0dq/wish/157940225 Sources A and B are similar in showing the need for UN to counter the threat of and contain communism.
