We are starting our Paper 2 unit on the Cold War. While we had a unit on the Cold War last year, it was focused on the Cold War in the Americas. This year we will be focusing on how the Cold War impacted other countries around the world. Think of it as like a spin-off series. If the stars of the original show were the US and the Soviet Union, this show will focus more on those that were in supporting roles in the original, and now it is the US and USSR that will play the supporting roles.
