Cold+War

I never learned about the Cold War my past history classes.

a. Why do you think the Zooks and Yooks did not get along?

The Zooks and Yooks did not get along because they disagreed on each others way life, pertaining to the side of bread that they put butter on.

b. What do you think caused this conflict to get worse?

I think the creation of new and more powerful weapons between the Zooks and Yooks trying to one up each other caused this conflict to get worse.

c. How do you think this happens with your friends or siblings?

This happens with friends or siblings because they like to feel a sense of superiority over loved ones and try to push their way of life on them.

d. What do you think the Zooks and Yooks could have done differently to prevent this conflict?

The Zooks and Yooks could have done several things differently to prevent this conflict such as expressing why they choose the side of bread they place their butter on, as well as coming to an agreement to place butter on both sides so both ways of life are emphasized.

e. In the story, each side uses propaganda to make their side seem like the right side. Give some examples from the movie/book.

Each group was making it look like they weren't the bad guys and tried to defend themselves by the side they place their butter on.

f. What does the story tell you about the Cold War?

That both sides kept going back and forth on fighting because they wanted territory, as well as threatening each other with dangerous weapons, but ended with no weapons being set off.

g. What would be your ending to the story?

My Ending to the story would of been both sides making a peace treaty by putting butter on both sides of their bread and with that comes the wall being knocked down resulting in the land being shared.

What knowledge about the Cold War did you learn from these three speeches?

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline;">From reading these three speeches I have learned several important factors about the Cold War. As well as a comprehension on the perspectives that were involved in the Cold War such as capitalist and communist.

[|Korean War notes]


 * Opener: Based on Korean War Video: **


 * **Do you Believe the Korean War was a Civil War or a Proxy War ( war that results when opposing powers use third parties as substitutes for fighting each other directly.)?**
 * **Provide three pieces of evidence from the video to support your claim**
 * **Pair/share responses and make revisions in red**

- The Korean War was a civil war because they fought and argued and eventually made an agreement to stop fighting. The US and the Soviet Union didn't like each other. The Korean government wanted power and certain leaders wanted communism to be in the government.
 * - I believe that the Korean war started as a civil war but turned into a Proxy War during the middle of it. North Korea helped out China in a previous war so when it came time for them to do the invasion, China ran by Mao Zeduong assisted them throughout it. The U.S. under attack got the help of the UN's naval and air forces.**

__Cuban Missile Crisis:__



[|Cuban Missile Crisis]

After evaluating the two sites I decided that I would choose option three being o rder a blockade of Cuba until the missiles are removed. I made this decision by making inferences on how each option if I would of chose them instead. If I chose to do nothing the many major American cities within striking range of those missiles could have been harmed, but a failure to respond to the challenge might suggest to the world that the United States was weak. To make the decision to negotiate would not have proceeded without having to give up something, this approach would have been viewed by many, both at home and abroad, as essentially giving in to blackmail. By giving Khrushchev and Castro a warning the concern among many of his advisers was that any sort of air strike, even with prior warning, could escalate into something much larger and more dangerous. Lastly by giving no warning to Khrushchev and Castro and utterly bomb Cuba could establish the possibility of a full scale nuclear war. By blockading them it shows that we will not back down, yet we don't want any conflicts as well.
