HIS-114 discussion

In Milestone Two, you related your historical event to the trends that had an impact on your chosen

time period. In this discussion, expand your investigation and identify issues or policies that were

occurring overseas.

Based on your textbook reading, think about the history of the Cold War and how it compares to what is

going on in the Middle East today. Then, identify two issues that occurred during the Cold War that still

resonate today, and compare them to two issues that have occurred more recently in the Middle East.

How have the issues during both time periods lingered or affected society in America? More specifically,

think about the United States’ role in overseas intervention attempts. Defend your claim with evidence

from the textbook.

In your response posts, discuss whether you agree with their posts and explain why or why not.
