February 17

IB 30/35

I finished off the PowerPoint that I started in yesterday's class, "The Origins of the Cold War". We didn't quite finish off the BBC 20th Century History series video "Cold War Confrontations", but we came really close (there's maybe a minute left in it, but I won't bother showing it to you since you know that the Korean War ended with an armistice but no formal peace treaty).
