Origins of the Cold War - What do we need to know?

Hi,

I'm not sure if that's the module title, but, if you do it I'm sure you know what I mean. Does anybody have a breakdown of what we need to know for the topic?? I just like to check it off as I go along.

Cheers

1. Which board are you on?
2. Do you know which dates you are studying on your course as this might help?

If you're really interested in the subject, read The Cold War by John Lewis Gaddis. Good book and fun to read too (There's a bit where Kruschev meets an American diplomat, asks where he's from, and draws a blue circle on his home town on a map of America - "When we go to war, I will not drop a nuclear bomb on this city.")

I'm on Edexcel.

And, the title of my module is "The Origins and Early Development of the Cold War, 1945-1962", so those dates.

There's just so much about the Cold War that I'm not sure how much weight I need to put on the different areas. And it all being down to interpretation doesn't help,

Thanks. I'll definately give it a read. Though, I've read a tiny bit of Gaddis' work before and, although he's respected, I tend not to agree with him. :biggrin:
