Due: Feb 12 by 12:53pm

Your task is to create a timeline of the Cold War. Your timeline should include all events (with dates) discussed in class from at least 1945-1991. Your timeline can start earlier than 1945, or end later than 1991, but that is only an option (not a requirement or expectation). You can do this on paper or digitally- whatever works best for you. It is due: For a stamp at the start of class Thursday 2/12

Your timeline must....

Be from at least 1945 – 1991

Include all vocab terms from our unit

Include all vocab terms from the first and second parts of the unit

Add events from 1945 until 1991

For the whole unit, vocab words are highlighted in YELLOW on the slide

Include at least the month and year for each event

Each vocab word should be briefly summarized

Neat and easy to read

Be color coded

One color for decolonization, one color for proxy wars, and another for people. An event/term can have multiple color codings. For example, the Vietnam War is an example of a Cold War proxy war (one color) but is also about decolonization (another color).

Color coding beyond these two things is OPTIONAL

Be colorful- have color + small (SIMPLE) images throughout

Your timeline does not need to...

Include the DAY something happened, unless it is SUPER important (e.g. Cuban Missile Crisis)

Include DETAILED pictures/images. The simple images are meant to be simple sketches to remind you of the event.

Be on one page, or one slide. Use all the space you need!!

Be perfect! This is a review/summary assignment AND it's just for a stamp :)
