page 327 #2 Look at Source 22. Which of these freedoms do you think the Soviet Union would also believe in? Which would it think unimportant?
Soviets would also believe in the freedom that has the freedom from want because the Soviets believe in communism, which is the system that keeps everyone and everything in life completely equal. The freedom from want would allow the communists to succeed in keeping everyone equal because no one would be wishing that they had more and claiming they new things. The freedom that the Soviets would find unimportant would be freedom of speech. This is because freedom of speech would completely contradict the freedom of want in the fact that freedom of speech allows people to speak out about their wishes and what they want from the world and their government, which would not be keeping everyone equal since everyone has different wants and opinions.

How did the USA react to Soviet expansion?
1. The United States plan was to provide aid to anyone who was under threat to communism.
2. They most likely should be worried because the United States is making this a "Cold War" right now, but could use our army if necessary.
3. We wanted them to be able to recover and would "aid" them, but obviously we didn't want them to expand communism with that.
