Unit 10: WWII and the Cold War (1941-1960)
Hot and Cold Entanglements in the World
Reading:
Chapters 34: FDR (German/Japanese Aggression, Isolationism, Pearl Harbor)
Chapter 35: America and WWII (Japanese Internment, War in the Pacific & Europe, A Bomb)
Chapter 36: The Cold War Begins (Suburbs, Baby Boom, Truman, Anti-Communism)
Chapter 37 (skip civil rights): The Eisenhower Era (Consumerism, McCarthyism, Space Race)
Narrative Statement: The United States finds itself in international entanglements once again fighting off
Totalitarianism during WWII and Communism afterwards. The home front is drastically affected economically and,
more significantly, socially as women enter the workplace and whites move to the suburbs. It all seems ideal, but it’s
all on the verge of nuclear obliteration.
Themes:
1. Why did national neutrality fail and aggression prevail in the events leading up to WWII and the Cold War?
2. What were the social, economic and political causes and effect of World War II?
3. How did the role of women change during and after WWII?
4. How were minority groups (African Americans, Japanese, and Hispanics) in the United States discriminated
against during WWII? Did any new opportunities become available for minorities as a result of WWII?
5. What lead to the formation of the United Nations and how effective of an organization is it?
6. What caused the Cold War? Was America’s anxiety towards Communism legitimate? (Must address
McCarthyism)
7. What were the goals and policies of containment? How effective were they?
