The Cold War in the East• Turn your paper over to the Cold

War in Asia side.

• Take a RED or PINK colored pencil and color in the USSR. This was the only Eastern Communist Country in 1945

Mao’s Communist Revolution: 1949

China Becomes Communist in spite of Western intervention

Now color in the NEW communist Countries in Asia: China, Mongolia and Manchuria

Taiwan! Still Capitalist! Now known as Nationalist China

What do you know about the United Nations?

• Look at your Chapter 17.1 Cornell Notes.

• What did you put about the United Nations?

• What do they do?• How do they do it?

The Creation of the U. N.

The United Nations is Created to do Three Things:• Peacefully solve

problems between countries

• End Colonialism and make new countries out of old colonies

• Put war leaders on trial for atrocities

The Korean War: A “Police Action” (1950-

1953)If Korea becomes Communist, who else will follow? If all the world becomes Communist, who will America trade with?

After WWII Korea was split (along the 38th parallel), just like Berlin and Germany between the US and the USSR. North Korea invaded South Korea to unify their nation with Russian support.

Americans (as a Member of the UN) get involved to stop the advancement of Communism. They push the N. Koreans far back into N. Korea. This brings in the Chinese who do not want Capitalist neighbours

After countless deaths and destruction, the two sides leave where they started, Communists in the North and Capitalists in the South. The country is still divided along the 38th parallel.

Korean War Textbook Comparison

Today you are going to be practicing three key skills:

Close Reading Corroborating

Contextualizing

All of these are on pg. 9A in your binder. Get that out now and have it out for this activity.

The close reading • To evaluate sources and analyze

rhetoric by asking them:

• What claims does the author make? • What evidence does the author use? • What language (words, phrases, images, symbols) does the author use to persuade the document's audience?• How does the document's language indicate the author's perspective?

Corroboration• To consider details across multiple

sources to determine points of agreement and disagreement.

• What do other documents say? • Do the documents agree? If not, why? • What are other possible documents?• What documents are most reliable?

Contextualization• To locate a document in time and place

and to understand how these factors shape its content.

• When and where was the document created?• What was different then? What was the same?• How might the circumstances in which the document was created affect its content?

5 Text Book Entries• Today you will read 5 different text book entries

from 5 different countries.• Each entry is about the Korean war.• As you read, fill out you chart. You are looking

for a few specific things:– Biased language- clear description of heroes/villains

or other charged/provocative language– Events that are mentioned more than once– Events that are stressed (or left out)– Statistics, hard facts, and evidence

• I expect you to do this quickly. You don’t have much room to write for a reason. Concentrate on the obvious things….

Focus Questions:• What information appears in all textbooks?• What information appears in some textbooks but

not others?• Are the textbooks written from the same

perspective? Explain.• Do the textbooks give you the same impression of

history? Why or why not?• How does the absence or inclusion of information

in a textbook affect the impression it gives readers?

• Why do you think these textbook excerpts vary?

China

• Burned the flames of war• Manipulated• Aggressive USA• Severely Threatened• Quote from Mao: US should stay out

of Asia• Blames US for Korean War• No statistics, or mention of how

many people were killed.

Japan

• North Korea the aggressor • N. Korea Broke through and invaded• Each Side gets help from either

China/USSR or US• All caused by tension in the Cold War

(so US and USSR’s fault. Korea is a pawn)

• No Statistics or how many died.

Taiwan

• War broke out- Neutral

• C. China had inferior weapons but still stopped the UN army.

• China is spiritually pure and powerful because of Nationalism

• No statistics. Doesn’t even say how the war ended.

South Korea

• Direct assault from the North.• Says North invaded because they

wanted unification• Longer because this war happened

in Korea!• Fairly unbiased in how they talk

about reasons for both sides.

• No Statistics

USA

• US Includes Statistics

• MacArthur is a leader• This is an INTERNATIONAL force:

Spends time numbering all the non-US soldiers.

• Korea asked for help! US did not invade!

• Statistics? Yes!~

Based on these Multiple Documents, what do you think happened in Korea

between 1950-1953?

Examples of Proxy Wars and the Cold War

The USA and USSR never actually went to war with each other. Instead, They often fought each other by supporting the enemies of the other side. The superpowers sometimes clashed in the most bizarre ways, such as the World Chess Championships! Mostly they looked for unstable governments and tried to give enough support to make their favourite side win.• The Vietnam War• Civil War in Nicaragua• Revolution in Afghanistan

Cold War Lecture Notes: For each event record lecture notes on the Vietnam War, the Civil War in Nicaragua and the Revolution in Afghanistan. Underline each title in your notes.

Vietnam War: 1965-1973Americans followed a policy of Containment and sided with the South Vietnamese to promote Capitalism and stop the spread of Communism.

Unfortunately, the People of Vietnam wished to be Communist. They fought a dirty, guerrilla style war against superior technology and numbers, but they won because the American people turned against the failed war, the suicide missions and the determination of the Vietnamese.

Vietnam War Video• As you watch this Video, answer this

question: Why were the North Vietnamese able to win the Vietnam War against the Militarily superior United states?– Consider:

• Goals of the Vietnamese• Experience of the Vietnamese under the

French• Strategies of the North Vietnamese• Opposition in the US

Causes of the Vietnam War

Question: Why did the US get involved in Vietnam?

You may also use the link below to watch an excellent video to help you answer this question.

Use: Spread of Communism, rivalry, containment and Domino Theory in your answer.

Picture:

Look at your Cuba Close reading…

• What did you learn about the History of Cuba?

• Tell your partner!

Background on Cuban American Relations• The US was once very friendly with Cuba.• We owned sugar plantations and sugar processing plants there.

Americans vacationed in Cuba the way we go to Disneyland today.• Cubans often did not benefit from the money the US made in the country.• The US supported Batista, a corrupt dictator, because he let the US do

what they wanted.• Castro overthrows Batista and takes over the country. He tries to work

with the US, but eventually throws them out of Cuba and takes their land and factories for the Cuban people under communism.

• The US retaliates by ending all trade and visitation rights. No more tourists!

• The USSR steps in, buying Cuban sugar and sending Soviets to vacation there. Castro and Khrushchev work together closely.

• President Kennedy also backs the Bay of Pigs Invasion where Cuban rebels were trained by the US military and assisted in invading Cuba to overthrow Castro. They are defeated and captured when the US backs out of the invasion at the last minute.

Cuban Missile Crisis (1962)

The confrontation began on October 14, 1962, when U.S. reconnaissance photographs taken by an American U-2 spy plane revealed missile bases being built in Cuba, in response to similar U.S. bases built at the Turkish-Soviet border.

After a tense confrontation on October 28, 1962, both U.S. President John F. Kennedy and Soviet General Secretary Nikita Khrushchev, with the intercession of U.N. Secretary-General U Thant, agreed to remove their respective nuclear missiles. This is as close as we have ever come to nuclear war.Video: United Streaming: Cuban Missile Crisis

Remember this?

More Proxy Wars!

Please continue to take notes…

Americans supported the unpopular dictator Samoza.

When Communist Sandinista leader Ortega took control of Nicaragua with Russian support, Americans funded the Anti Communist Contras to fight him in Nicaragua and other communists in El Salvador.

Because of Foreign support, this war raged for 10 years killing thousands and ruining the Nicaraguan economy.

Civil War in Nicaragua (1979)

Revolution in Afghanistan 1979 - 1996Soviets back a communist military coup that seizes

the government of Afghanistan.

Americans give weapons and aid to the Mujahedeen forces (Islamist peasants who opposed the non religious people in power) challenging the Soviet backed government.

The Soviets step up involvement and eventually invade when the Afghani leader, President Takari, begins a reign of terror. Meanwhile, Americans channel more and more aid through Pakistan (secretly) and demand the Soviets stop their involvement at the UN (publicly).

With both sides of the Conflict well armed by the USA and USSR respectively, Afghanistan falls into civil war. The Russians, experiencing their own Vietnam, pull out

Civil war and infighting between extremist factions continued until the Mujahedeen’s Taliban seized power in 1996.

Compare and Contrast essay writing…

• There are several ways to organize a compare and contrast essay. We are going to be doing it one specific way.– Start with a Thesis that states how two

things are similar and how they are different.

– Then present evidence for how they are similar. Explain how your evidence Proves they are similar.
