The+Cold+War


 * Definition:** the state of political hostility that existed between the Soviet bloc countries and the US-led Western powers from 1945 to 1990.

- was international - It happened around World War 2 - It involves the USSR - It had something to do with the start of WWII - Between the US and USSR
 * The Cold War:**



Yes, because it could cause more internal destruction within a community/ society than a physical war can. There's more division involved in philosophical wars. It was inevitable, because Stalin could've kept his promises about allowing democratic elections in eastern Europe.
 * Essential Questions: **
 * Can a philosophical war be more dangerous than a physical war? **
 * Was the Cold War inevitable? **
 * Did the United States "win" the Cold War, or did the Soviet Union "lose" it? **

Everyone can't agree on one philosophy. We, as people must except our differences and move forward.
 * What lessons are to be learned from studying the Cold War? **

Cold War HW **10/7/13**:

a. Why do you think the Zooks and Yooks did not get along? They had different strategies to spread butter on bread and couldn't come to an agreement. b. What do you think caused this conflict to get worse? The destruction of the Yook's sling, caused their differences to grow. c. How do you think this happens with your friends or siblings? When a person can't come to an agreement with their friends of family, they tend to go their own way, and end starting conflict. d. What do you think the Zooks and Yooks could have done differently to prevent this conflict? They could have had a meeting about how bread should be eaten. e. In the story, each side uses propaganda to make their side seem like the right side. Give some examples from the movie/book. "Have faith in your butter" - a song made to encourage the leader of the Yooks. f. What does the story tell you about the Cold War? The US and USSR were fighting over pitiful issues. g. What would be your ending to the story? The Yooks and Zooks agree to not drop the drops at all, because they end up realizing that it isn't necessary.

=The Korean War:=



** How did the Korean War turn into a Cold War Conflict? **
North and South Korea were supported by external powers and the conflict expanded, becoming a proxy war in the Cold War

** Why did the Korean War not lead to world war? **
The U.S. wouldn't let it go that far.

** How does the Korean War shed light on the broad themes of the Cold War? **
The Korean War still involved the ideas of communism and capitalism, two factors that drove the cold war.




 * Opener: Based on Korean War Video: **

I believe the Korean War was a civil war. Outside countries happened to get involved due to separate ideologies. > N. Korea occupies most of Korean Peninsula except South Korea.
 * **Do you Believe the Korean War was a Civil War or a Proxy War ( war that results when opposing powers use third parties as substitutes for fighting each other directly.)?**
 * **Provide three pieces of evidence from the video to support your claim**
 * Kim Il Sung gets involved in the North Korea.Syngman Rnee comes to power in South Korea (he isn’t a communist).
 * **Pair/share responses and make revisions in red.**
 * I think it's a proxy war, because the U.S. supported South Korea and The North was supported by USSR and China. The U.S. sent supplies to the south and China/ USSR sent supplies to the north side **
