Most of today's class was spent writing a Social 30-1 WRA I assignment. You had 60 minutes to write it. We will continue with the Cold War tomorrow, by going back to Europe, and more specifically East and West Germany to examine the construction of the Berlin Wall and see how it contributed to Cold War tensions. We are nearing the end of our study of the Cold War. By Wednesday of next week we will be writing the Cold War Exam. A study guide for this exam will be posted on Wednesday of this week.

I went through a lecture today that corresponds to material in Chapter 4 and 6 called "The Evolution of Modern Liberalism". I will be sending this PowerPoint presentation to you this afternoon. During today's class I was talking about military spending and an Oreo cookie video that demonstrates U.S. military spending. Here is the link to this video. Please remember that you have your Ideological Reaction to Industrialization Test on Thursday, You can find the study guide for this test here.

We watched a video from the BBC series "Days That Shook the World" , specifically the episode on "The Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand". I also started a lecture on the "Allied Victory in WWI and the Paris Peace Conferences". I will continue this lecture tomorrow.
