US History: Dec. 14-18

This week we will continue our investigation of the Cold War and shift to how it affected the United States in the 1960's. We will discuss the presidency of JFK, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the continued build-up of nuclear weapons and the Space Race. Finally, we will begin our investigation of the Vietnam War, and how it transformed the United States. We will also begin to look at the growing counter-culture movements and social reforms of the era.
