After WWII the rivalry between Western democracies and the Soviet Union led to the Cold War, an intense competition for global power and influence that lasted more than 40 years. The conflict was called a “cold” war because the United States and the Soviet Union engaged in intense military competition without ever fighting each other directly.
In this lesson we will focus on the Rosenberg Trials and the Red Scare that took place during the Cold War. During this lesson students will participate in a Mock Trial . This lesson will take two weeks and will include TCI lesson 27 and 28. There will be a test on Thursday of this week, but no test on the following week.
