9. What do you know about the United Nations? • Look at your Chapter 17.1 Cornell Notes. • What did you put about the United Nations? • What do they do? • How do they do it?

10. The Creation of the U. N. • The United Nations is Created to do Three Things: • Peacefully solve problems between countries • End Colonialism and make new countries out of old colonies • Put war leaders on trial for atrocities

11. The Korean War: A “Police Action” (1950-1953)‏ 38th Parallel Domino Theory China If Korea becomes Communist, who else will follow? If all the world becomes Communist, who will America trade with? After WWII Korea was split (along the 38th parallel), just like Berlin and Germany between the US and the USSR. North Korea invaded South Korea to unify their nation with Russian support. Americans (as a Member of the UN) get involved to stop the advancement of Communism. They push the N. Koreans far back into N. Korea. This brings in the Chinese who do not want Capitalist neighbours After countless deaths and destruction, the two sides leave where they started, Communists in the North and Capitalists in the South. The country is still divided along the 38th parallel. See video: Democracy Vs. Communism: The Korean War

12. Find Korea on your map and draw in the 38th Parallel line. Then color North Korea the same color you did for the USSRMake a notation on your map that the Korean War happened here.

17. Korean War Textbook Comparison Today you are going to be practicing three key skills: Close Reading Corroborating Contextualizing All of these are on pg. 9A in your binder. Get that out now and have it out for this activity.

18. The close reading • To evaluate sources and analyze rhetoric by asking them: • What claims does the author make? • What evidence does the author use? • What language (words, phrases, images, symbols) does the author use to persuade the document's audience?• How does the document's language indicate the author's perspective?

19. Corroboration • To consider details across multiple sources to determine points of agreement and disagreement. • What do other documents say? • Do the documents agree? If not, why? • What are other possible documents?• What documents are most reliable?

20. Contextualization • To locate a document in time and place and to understand how these factors shape its content. • When and where was the document created?• What was different then? What was the same?• How might the circumstances in which the document was created affect its content?

21. 5 Text Book Entries • Today you will read 5 different text book entries from 5 different countries. • Each entry is about the Korean war. • As you read, fill out you chart. You are looking for a few specific things: • Biased language- clear description of heroes/villains or other charged/provocative language • Events that are mentioned more than once • Events that are stressed (or left out) • Statistics, hard facts, and evidence • I expect you to do this quickly. You don’t have much room to write for a reason. Concentrate on the obvious things….

23. Focus Questions: • What information appears in all textbooks? • What information appears in some textbooks but not others? • Are the textbooks written from the same perspective? Explain. • Do the textbooks give you the same impression of history? Why or why not? • How does the absence or inclusion of information in a textbook affect the impression it gives readers? • Why do you think these textbook excerpts vary?

24. China • Burned the flames of war • Manipulated • Aggressive USA • Severely Threatened • Quote from Mao: US should stay out of Asia • Blames US for Korean War • No statistics, or mention of how many people were killed.

25. Japan • North Korea the aggressor • N. Korea Broke through and invaded • Each Side gets help from either China/USSR or US • All caused by tension in the Cold War (so US and USSR’s fault. Korea is a pawn) • No Statistics or how many died.

26. Taiwan • War broke out- Neutral • C. China had inferior weapons but still stopped the UN army. • China is spiritually pure and powerful because of Nationalism • No statistics. Doesn’t even say how the war ended.

27. South Korea • Direct assault from the North. • Says North invaded because they wanted unification • Longer because this war happened in Korea! • Fairly unbiased in how they talk about reasons for both sides. • No Statistics

28. USA • US Includes Statistics • MacArthur is a leader • This is an INTERNATIONAL force: Spends time numbering all the non-US soldiers. • Korea asked for help! US did not invade! • Statistics? Yes!~

29. Please do not talk at this time Oct 18 HW: Complete the Guided Reading on Cuba for Monday. Please get out your Korean War Text Book Comparison handouts. Get a folder too

30. Turn your chart over… • Share your answers to the three Questions with your partner.

31. Based on these Multiple Documents, what do you think happened in Korea between 1950-1953?

32. Based on these Multiple Documents, what do you think happened in Korea between 1950-1953?

33. Examples of Proxy Wars and the Cold War • The USA and USSR never actually went to war with each other. Instead, They often fought each other by supporting the enemies of the other side. The superpowers sometimes clashed in the most bizarre ways, such as the World Chess Championships! Mostly they looked for unstable governments and tried to give enough support to make their favourite side win. • The Vietnam War • Civil War in Nicaragua • Revolution in Afghanistan Cold War Lecture Notes: For each event record lecture notes on the Vietnam War, the Civil War in Nicaragua and the Revolution in Afghanistan. Underline each title in your notes.

34. Vietnam War: 1965-1973 Americans followed a policy of Containment and sided with the South Vietnamese to promote Capitalism and stop the spread of Communism. Unfortunately, the People of Vietnam wished to be Communist. They fought a dirty, guerrilla style war against superior technology and numbers, but they won because the American people turned against the failed war, the suicide missions and the determination of the Vietnamese.

35. Vietnam War Video • As you watch this Video, answer this question: Why were the North Vietnamese able to win the Vietnam War against the Militarily superior United states? • Consider: • Goals of the Vietnamese • Experience of the Vietnamese under the French • Strategies of the North Vietnamese • Opposition in the US

36. Question: Why did the US get involved in Vietnam? You may also use the link below to watch an excellent video to help you answer this question. Use: Spread of Communism, rivalry, containment and Domino Theory in your answer. Causes of the Vietnam War

37. Please do not talk at this time Oct 21 HW: Finish as far as we get on the Cuban Missile Crisis DBQ Please get a Full sheet on Cuba and a Half Sheet on Cuba. These are a class set. You will also need a piece of paper.

38. Find Vietnam on your map and color it the same color you did for the USSRMake a notation on your map that the Vietnam War happened here.

41. Still in your Class Notes… What concept from the Cold War is this cartoon illustrating? Causes of the Vietnam War

42. Glossary Definition: U.S. policy directed at blocking Soviet influence and stopping the expansion of communism. Versions: Container • Examples: Roach Motel USA Vs. USSR- cold war • Related Words: Surround Contain Isolate Box up Eliminate- removing a piece from the playing board • My Definition: USA attempts to limit Soviet power during the Cold War and prevent other countries from becoming communist. Picture: Review Containment

43. Look at your Cuba Close reading… • What did you learn about the History of Cuba? • Tell your partner!

44. Background on Cuban American Relations • The US was once very friendly with Cuba. • We owned sugar plantations and sugar processing plants there. Americans vacationed in Cuba the way we go to Disneyland today. • Cubans often did not benefit from the money the US made in the country. • The US supported Batista, a corrupt dictator, because he let the US do what they wanted. • Castro overthrows Batista and takes over the country. He tries to work with the US, but eventually throws them out of Cuba and takes their land and factories for the Cuban people under communism. • The US retaliates by ending all trade and visitation rights. No more tourists! • The USSR steps in, buying Cuban sugar and sending Soviets to vacation there. Castro and Khrushchev work together closely. • President Kennedy also backs the Bay of Pigs Invasion where Cuban rebels were trained by the US military and assisted in invading Cuba to overthrow Castro. They are defeated and captured when the US backs out of the invasion at the last minute.
