We met in Room 121 for a change today. We watched another video from the CNN Cold War series, today's episode was called "Backyard" and dealt with American interventionism in Latin America throughout the Cold War. There were a lot of notes on this video, so if you missed class today, please get these notes from a classmate. We also went over how to write a Written Response Assignment I (WRA I), sometimes called a three source analysis assignment. You will be writing a WRA I in class on Monday covering a topic related to the Cold War. If you missed class today please get the handout that you missed. Tomorrow we'll be looking at Soviet Union's version of the Vietnam War, namely their intervention in Afghanistan and how the Americans worked against Soviet interests in the region by supplying the Mujahideen forces in Afghanistan through back channels.
