Today we examined how colonies negotiated independence and how they achieved independence through armed struggle after World War II. We also practiced the AP skill of how to make connections among historical developments. As we approach the final unit of this course, we discussed last night's reading. We are on the 2nd to last chapter of the text. This portion of the text turns the historical spotlight away from the dominant events of the 20th century to focus more explicitly on immensely transforming processes, all of which have played out on a deeply interconnected global stage.
