I gave you back the results of your Cold War Unit Final today. We continued our look at the Middle East today, by examining the Iran-Iraq War and the Persian Gulf War in greater detail, as well as looking at a history of Afghanistan since the Soviet pull-out. Tonight, please read Chapter 14 in Global Forces of the 20th Century. We probably won't be getting to China tomorrow, but rather make connections between what has happened in Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan in the past and the current tensions in the contemporary world in these countries. In the days to come, we'll look at the American led invasion of Iraq in 2003, and a documentary film called "Why We Fight".
