Thursday, April 26th: The Cold War
An Introduction to the Cold War
For the next few days we will be examining the Cold War. Your ideas and research will drive much of this discussion. To begin this discussion, look at the list of Cold War events pasted below. In a group of two to three, pick four of these entries and study them. For each of the entries that you choose, make sure that you can answer the following questions:
-When did it happen?
-Where did the event happen?
-What happened?
-How did the event affect US/ Soviet relations?
-Was there a "winner" or "loser"? Why?
Use this sheet to record your findings.
Look at the "Episode Recap," the "Interactive Map" link on the right side of the page, and the "Truman Doctrine" link on the right side of the page.
Click on both of the "Interactive Map" features on the right side of this site.
Read the "Episode Recap" link and browse the "Interactive Timeline" on the right side of the page.
Review the "Episode Recap" link (You may have already read this one.) and look at the two "Historical Documents" links that have to do with the U2 incident.

Study the "Episode Recap," the "Interactive Timeline," and the "Interactive Map."
