Social 30-1

We continued our look at the Cold War today by watching a couple of short videos from the BBC 20th Century History series: "The Road to Berlin" which dealt with the end of WWII and "Cold War Confrontation" which covered some early tensions between the superpowers, namely the Berlin Airlift and the Korean War. We'll continue looking at the Korean War on Monday. I also gave you a rough outline of the remainder of Unit 2 that we need to cover, it's a lot of material and we'll have to work hard to get through it! To that end, your Cold War Key Events booklet is due on Monday and your Chapter 7 Key Terms are due on Tuesday.If you didn't check out the WWII Behind Closed Doors website yesterday, take some time this weekend to check it out, please check yesterday's post for the links.
