Today we reviewed the causes and some of the effects of the end of the Cold War. We also practiced the AP skill of how to explain a historical development by practicing how to explain a historical event/change. We then evaluated the causes leading to the end of the Cold War and how to explain a variety of historical developments. Finally, we examined the extent to which the effects of the Cold War were similar in the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. We then practiced how to develop complex argument.
