Homework due Thurs, Feb 9 for A day 2nd period HOA class
Feb 07, 2012 : school
Read and annotate and chart p.7-25 of the unit 6 packet #1 on Poland. The chart is here: HOA Unit 6 rdg chart 1 2011-12.doc.
Unit 6 is on Resistance to Soviet control in Eastern Europe between 1945 and 2000. We will focus on three countries – Poland, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia. There will be three separate packets for this unit.
The ideas in this unit are parallel with our study of Cuba and Chile – how do smaller countries adapt or resist the domination of their larger neighbors, and how did the Cold War impact this dynamic? In order to understand these issues, for each country study we will look back to the end of WWII in 1945 to make sense of the situation.
The information on Poland in the years after 1945 should be (hopefully) at least somewhat familiar from unit 2 and the consequences of the decisions taken at Yalta and Potsdam.
