1 Analyzing Late Cold War Events
Directions & Discussion

2 Cold War Events You will be analyzing 8 events from the late Cold War period ( ) Remember the US used many methods for combating the spread of communism around the world -> Many Americans believed that Soviet-style communism was evil and denied basic human rights to those under its control. And the US gov’t wanted to export democracy and capitalism around the globe = more money and power for the US.

3 Directions For each Cold War event, carefully read each placard. Write the name of the event in the first box. Then, with your group, create and write in the second box a newspaper headline summarizing the event. Finally, circle ALL the US method/s that are used in the event. ->Look at the US Methods During the Cold War handout to help you
