Today we looked at American intervention in the Western Hemisphere during the Cold War era by watching a video from the CNN series on the Cold War called "Backyard". I also had you copy some notes off the board that will be helpful as well in understanding this topic. Tomorrow, we'll be looking at the effects of the Cold War on Afghanistan. Next Wednesday, you will be having your Cold War Unit Final. Please see the study guide below.
