Based on at least five primary and secondary historical sources (any combination of primary and secondary course-based sources),
Write an 8-10 page essay (double-spaced, and typed in a 12 point font) on a major conflict related to the Cold War.
Possible topics include the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Berlin Blockade, Space Race, propaganda, etc. Craft an argument that takes into account the following questions:
Who was involved? What were its roots?
Why did it happen? How did it unfold?
What risks were involved? Was it resolved? Who benefited from it?
