Cold War a condition of rivalry, mistrust, and often open hatred short of violence especially between powerful countries

Democracy v. Communism Game Each of you will receive a an envelope. Each envelope has pieces of paper that are worth 1 Hershey kiss. You will play rocks, paper, shoot to win the pieces of paper from the others in your group. You will have three minutes to win as many pieces of paper as you can. If you run out of paper you are done with the game.

If you are in the USSR or China split your papers equally among your whole group. If you are in the US, France, or Great Britain keep the papers where they are.
