Chapter 31: Global Recovery and Division Between Superpowers
1945 to the Present

55: Wed, Mar 25, 2020

Please post in the forum for the day a short essay in response to this question:

World War II ends with the division of Europe into two armed camps, with Germany itself split. How do the divisions and tensions of the Cold War era, including “hot wars” like the Korean and Vietnam Wars affect movements toward nationalism or globalism in Europe and the US? How do older tensions and ethnic identification affect Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union? Is it possible to create a global community while retaining national identities?
