Wednesday April 13th

Today we continued to explore the Cold War period, turning our attention to the role of the United States in Central and South America. 

We started by examining this Diego Rivera painting, before diving into a set of CIA documents. Students played detective, piecing together the story of what exactly took place in Guatemala in 1954.













For Friday, please complete the short reading in Born in Blood and Fire Chapter 8, pages 257-261 (second edition). Start at the heading, "Onset of the Cold War," and stop reading once you reach the "Bolivia's National Revolutionary Movement."
