After World War II, the United States grappled with prosperity and unfamiliar international responsibilities, while struggling to live up to its ideals.
Key Concept 8.1: The United States responded to an uncertain and unstable postwar world by asserting and attempting to defend a position of global leadership, with far-reaching domestic and international consequences.
Key Concept 8.2: Liberalism, based on anticommunism abroad and a firm belief in the efficacy of governmental and especially federal power to achieve social goals at home, reached its apex in the mid-1960s and generated a variety of political and cultural responses.
Cold War Timeline Print me out YOU NEED TO START COLLECTING TIMELINE INFORMATION NOW!!! THIS WILL SAVE YOU A LOT OF PAIN AND AGONY LATER!!!
So, if you want to make your timeline as you go, and do part of it for each chapter, you could use it as a tool like creating your own annotated study guide. I will let you use it on the quizzes. It won't be extra credit, but essentially you would be multitasking: reading the chapter, taking notes in timeline form and actually finishing your timeline as you go.
To do this you would need to map out your timeline in terms of spacing. If you are going to do an annotated timeline, I suggest about 2 pages per decade. If you are just doing the timeline with minimal annotations, 1 page per decade should suffice.
Then each chapter, add specific dates to each side of the timeline and add definitions/importance as you go. You can notate important concepts that go with the events or color code categories (not required).
