7 From World War to Cold War The Rise of the Superpowers

8 MISSLE COMMAND Rules: – No Talking between you and your enemy – You can only select ONE option under your command – Once you decide your option, you cannot change it later Rewards: – IF YOU BOTH SURVIVE: Each person gets 1 point – IF ONE LIVES AND ONE DIES: The survivor gets 2 points and the loser gets 0 – IF YOU BOTH DIE: Neither one gets any points

9 Nuclear Chess Reflection: What happened in the game? What was the best strategy? What did you decide, why?

10 Cold War Cold War- Period of rivalry between the US and USSR in economic, political, and ideological ways. No direct fighting between the two nations occurred.

11 Soviet Union The union created by 15 nations in Eastern Europe—the Soviet Republic and its satellite countries, or countries under its influence.

12 Industry and Agriculture unite to create Hammer and Sickle

18 Other ways to fight… Arms Race- The intense competition between the US and USSR to have the best weapons in the world. Space Race- The intense competition between the US and USSR to explore space.
