February 18

IB 30/35

We covered a lot of territory today in class, since we looked at the Truman administration (foreign and domestic policy), with a little bit of overlap in the Korean War between the Truman and Eisenhower administration. We also looked at the Korean War (1950-1953) again by watching a short video called "Crisis in Korea". I gave you a one page handout on the Korean War, and I STRONGLY recommend that you check out the Korean War notes on the wiki on the Cold War page. Also, check out the historiography on the Korean War, and on the origins of the Cold War itself (also on the same wiki page). Please remember that next Friday (February 26th) that you have a Paper 2 on the origins of the Cold War. Start preparing for this!

Also, don't forget that TOK presentations, and the Greatest Canadian Prime Minister of the 20th Century presentations will run on February 23rd-25th.
