Rationale:
The aftermath of World War II with its winners and losers sets the stage for each country to reassess its role in the world, and plan a new strategy of non-aggressive engagement with each other. s "Cold War" develops with some of the big players (USA and Russia) jockeying for political clout throughout the world as they oppose each other's intentions behind the scenes. Understanding what a "Cold War" is and the impact that it had throughout the world will give students a better understanding of how war can be fought outside the traditional battlefield
Evidence:
Being able to list the various policies and actions taken by certain countries and the response to those actions will demonstrate that students can track the various players and events that occurred in the time between WWI and the Outbreak of the Korean Conflict
