I did a presentation on "The Origins of the Cold War" at the beginning of class today. I will send you a copy of this PowerPoint presentation this afternoon. I will also be giving you some notes on the "big picture" of the Cold War tomorrow. At the end of class I gave you a reading on "The Seeds of the Cold War" (you MUST read this!), and some questions around the post-WWII map of Europe. The questions and the map are due tomorrow. Please make sure that you have read and taken notes on Chapters 9 and 10 in Global Forces in the 20th Century (use the information in the "Seeds of the Cold War" to focus your note-taking). I will post some maps of Europe here this evening.
