Using text, images and Retro Report videos, students will analyze the early Cold War period from the perspective of the United States. This breakout game allows students to examine key events including the Truman Doctrine, the Korean War and the space race. Students will analyze relationships between countries during the Cold War and learn how those relationships created an era of mistrust, hostility and proxy battles, and nearly led to nuclear war.
