IB HL History

In preparation for our debate on the origins of the Cold War, here is the link to the assignment sheet. Let me know if you have questions about the expectations for this assignment. In general, you should focus your research on primary source documents and you should keep a record of all your research in MLA-style citations.

Was the Cold War a contest between the ideologies of Liberal Democracy and Marxism-Leninism? Or was it driven by power and material interests? We are reading this article to help illuminate this question. Additionally, you need to read the first five pages (1-5) of Martin McCauley’s Origins of the Cold War. Our lessons next week will be based on the issue of ideology and the origins of the Cold War.
