Conflicts of the 20th Century: May 9-13

This week we will begin our investigation of the Cold War. We will discuss what the Allies decided to do with Germany, now that the war was over. It would be divided up among the Allied powers. After the world was left ravaged by WWII, two nations would emerge as superpowers that would fight for global dominance; the United States & the Soviet Union. The ideologies would face off, Democracy vs. Communism. We will investigate the West's distrust of the Soviets towards the end of WWII as well as the fear that Soviet communism would spread throughout Europe. This week we will examine the causes & consequences of the Korean War as well.
