I read your 3-part summaries over the weekend and was pretty pleased with how they turned out. I think these will be an excellent way to help you build a body of knowledge for your AP review in the spring. Let's do another one for this week's reading on the Cold War. Please turn it in as one assignment on Friday, but make it cover both days' reading. This time the three parts should include:
- Separate timelines for the Fall of Soviet Union and Cold War periods (be sure to emphasize major trends rather than details)
- Examples of leaders from each major period in Soviet history (do 7 total - at least 3 should be from outside Soviet Union - be sure to make explicit the trends they represent)
- In one substantial paragraph, answer the following questions: How were the seeds of the Soviet Union's decline sown during the height of the Cold War? To what extent did it result from poor leadership within Soviet Russia, and to what extent were challenges from other nationalities to blame?
