CHAPTER 15 The Cold War


Objective:
students will be able to:
-Understand how two sides faced off in Europe during the Cold War. 
■ Learn how nuclear weapons threatened the world. 
■ Understand how the Cold War spread globally. 
■ Compare and contrast the Soviet Union and the United States in the Cold War.

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

CHAPTER 14 From Appeasement to War

Objective:
students will be able to:
-Compare the German, Italian, and Japanese drives for empire in the 1930s, including the 1937 Rape of Nanking, other atrocities in China, and the Stalin-Hitler Pact of 1939.

-Understand the role of appeasement, nonintervention (isolationism), and the domestic distractions in Europe and the United States prior to the outbreak of World War II.

-Identify and locate the Allied and Axis powers on a map and discuss the major turning points of the war, the principal theaters of conflict, key strategic decisions, and the resulting war conferences and political resolutions, with emphasis on the importance of geographic factors.

-Describe the political, diplomatic, and military leaders during the war (e.g., Winston Churchill, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Emperor Hirohito, Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Joseph Stalin, Douglas MacArthur, Dwight Eisenhower).

-Analyze the Nazi policy of pursuing racial purity, especially against the European Jews; its transformation into the Final Solution; and the Holocaust that resulted in the murder of six million Jewish civilians.

-Discuss the human costs of the war, with particular attention to the civilian and military losses in RussiaGermanyBritain, the United StatesChina, and Japan.      

-Analyze the threat to world peace posed by dictators in the 1930's and how the Western democracies responded.

-Summarize the ways in which continuing Nazi aggression led Europe to war.

Rationale:
In the aftermath of World War I Totalitarian regimes grew from the rubble. The emergence of Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, and Tojo would forever change the post-war landscape and put the world on a path to repeat the atrocities of the first World War but with superior weaponry and a more ruthless approach. Understanding the conditions which led to this rise is important, and can provide students a measuring stick in which to evaluate current political conflicts around the globe.

Evidence:
Being able to list the conditions for the totalitarian rise, the effects of various totalitarian leaders on their countries, and the response of allied powers will give students a clear understanding of what caused World War II
