I gave you back your Cold War Maps of Europe back today, and I went over the answers to the questions on this worksheet. I also did a homework check on your Cold War booklets as well today. I gave you a package of maps that focused on three significant events in the Cold War: The Korean War, the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Vietnam War. Most of today's class was spent working on Events of the Cold War, which we will continue tomorrow.
