Cold+War+Class+Study+Guide+12-13

Let's be honest, there are a TON of events that take place during the Cold War and to have to study each one of these in depth would be tedious and take up lots of valuable time. To help expedite matters, you are going to become an expert on ONE key Cold War event/concept/issue then post your research on this wiki. In essence, we are going to be creating a giant study guide for the Cold War, which I hope, will help each of you as you study for the unit quiz and the exam as a whole.

You will be assigned one event from the list below. (You'll be drawing out of a hat. Feel free to change with others in your class.) For your event, you will need to post the following information:


 * A brief description of the event (no more than one paragraph)
 * A list of "major players" involved (nations involved, heads of states, other people of prominence)
 * Dates
 * The outcome of this event
 * How this event influenced the Cold War as a whole
 * A minimum of two pictures
 * Bibliography

If you would like, you may provide outside links for further enrichment. (If you choose, you may add a link to a video as well. Please do not load the entire video to this page, however!)
