The Cold War: East v. WestModern World History

Greg Hurley

The Cold War is the name given to the tensions that existed between the “East” and the “West” during the second half of the 20 th century. Though much of this unit focuses on the rivalry of the major superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, it also has the students examine how this rivalry impacted

allies of these countries and those countries who were not aligned with either superpower. This unit aims to give students a complete and thorough examination of the major events of the Cold War from beginning to end, and around the world. Each lesson brings to light specific events of the Cold War as well as bringing up the running themes of competing political systems and just how much is morality maintained or degraded in order to defeat a major

enemy.

The history of communist expansion around the world.

Superpowers often view undeveloped allies as disposable

After WWII, Soviet and US tension became evident, particularly in war-torn Germany where both sides sought to prove superiority to the other.

Berlin became a symbol for the struggle between communism and capitalism and east v. west.

The Soviet Union sought to protect itself by expanding communism and giving itself a cushion of protection from the West.

The US sought to protect capitalism around the world by containing communism and not allowing it to grow.

Leaders of the Soviet Union and United States have both threatened world peace and worked towards achieving that same peace.

CURRICULUM EMBEDED PERFOMANCE ASSESSMENT (PERFORMANCE TASKS) PT

Overview: Students will work in pairs and will be assigned a country. They will research this country to determine which of the two superpowers most negatively affected the assigned country and identify details which support this point of view. They then will write a report (which they will read aloud) in order to persuade the UN General Assembly (who will be made up of their classmates) to award them reparations due to the damage they suffered during the Cold War.

Goal: To exhibit through presentation of research how a developing nation was impacted by the Cold WarRole: Ambassador of that country to the UNAudience: the United States and Russian governmentsSituation: You need to convince the UN to force either the US or Russian government to pay reparations for damages done during the Cold War to your country. You must decide which government you are demanding payment from.Product: a 2-3 minute oral presentation laying out the history of the country was damaged by the Cold War and how that damage still impacts the world today.(Model UN Skill: how to collaboratively research a country and identify how that country’s perspective is different from the perspective of a US resident)

Countries: Cuba, Vietnam, Myanmar (Cambodia), Afghanistan, Iran, Argentina, Nicaragua, North Korea, South Korea, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Greece, Romania, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Germany

Has that changed since the Cold War ended?3) What influence remains in that country of either the US or USSR?4) Describe daily life for the average person in this country using info like: Per capita income, GDP,

Dependency Factor, Religion, transnational issues5) How Americans view this country in comparison to those countries’ views of themselves.

Student Instructions:

Welcome to the United Nations!

You and your partner have been assigned a country. You are now the representatives of this country to the United Nations. For this project you will be taking on the perspective of this country and how that country views the superpowers of the Cold War.

Your job will be to write a persuasive essay in which you determine which of the two major superpowers (the United States and the Soviet Union) caused your country the most damage during the Cold War and has left the most lasting negative impact on your country today.

In order to do this you will need to research your country today, and its history during the Cold War. Particularly you need to pay attention to how your country was hurt by the superpowers during the Cold War and how that has directly impacted your country today.

Your research should include a summary of information from the CIA World Factbook. You should also make use of the links which describe the history of your country during the Cold War.

Finally each group member will be responsible for writing a persuasive report on which superpower should pay reparations to your country. In proving this point you will lay out specific details about how that superpower damaged your country specifically and how that damage is still hurting your country today.

One of these reports will be presented to the General Assembly (the rest of the class) aloud and then you will submit to questions by the other nations. Your goal is to convince your classmates of the validity of your argument.
