The Cold War lasted for roughly 46 years, from almost right after the end of World War II, until 1991. The ideals of Western capitalism were pitted against those of the Soviet-led communist bloc. During this time period, many events fueled the divide between these two schools of thought, and contributed to the proliferation of conflict. You have been exposed to these events throughout this course. The final project for this course is the creation of a historical narrative. The research for this paper should be centered on some aspect of American society during the Cold War. Choose one event that you consider important during the Cold War and discuss its impact on American society.
Your topic should relate to one of the following:
A major development
A war
Cold War politics
Nuclear weapons
The Space Race
A major country or emerging power involved in the ColdWar
You are then to construct a fully researched, thesis-driven narrative containing both primary and secondary sources. You will use these sources to shed light on your chosen topic without propagating any historical fallacies. While you should address one of the issues listed above as you select your topic, your task is to narrow your focus to a manageable question that can be answered in a coherent, thesis-driven fashion (the impact of the Korean War on Cold War politics, or how nuclear weapons technology affected the nature of Cold War politics, etc.).
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
Background: Identify the aspect of Cold War history that will frame your essay. This must be a major event, trend, or development that shaped the history of American society since WWII. Is the major event political, military-diplomatic, social, economic, or cultural in nature?
Historical Argument: Narrow your focus by creating a manageable question. Propose an argument that answers the question you have derived about the major event. This is your thesis statement and it must also be connected to historicalevidence.
Historical Analysis
Factors: What are the factors that influenced this event? Include the policies of the time period as well as any key confrontations and clashes.
Individuals: Assess the role of the individual(s) involved in the event. This might be involve leaders or other nations. Who is the protagonist? The antagonist? What significant actions did the central figure(s) take? Why did they do so? What was the response to such actions taken?
Trends: What trends did this event influence? Which new policies came about? What effect did these policies have? What themes originated—or were repeated—as such policies were enacted?
Impact: What impact did this event, the individual(s), and resulting policies have on Cold War era history? Who significantly benefited from these events and moments? How? Who dramatically suffered from these events and moments, and how?
Source Analysis: You must select sources to support your thesis statement. Ideally, you will include a mix of primary and secondary sources. Critically examine the resources in context with your essay topic. Remember this is not based on opinion, but rather this is your analysis of the historical content and context. Your source methodology supports your thesis statement.
