The period between the mid-1940s and 1980 saw the United States’ global influence expand through its quest to stop the spread of global communism. The ups and downs of this struggle impacted the ways in which Americans viewed and interacted with their government, causing moments of national pride (moon landing) and moments of division and tension (Vietnam War). This period also saw centuries of oppression of African Americans boil over into the Civil Rights Movement. The successes and struggles of this movement will be a major topic in the pages that follow. Overall, this unit will track these larger processes while maintaining a focus on how all of this played out in the varied experiences of actual Americans. TIMELINE: 1945-1980 INSTRUCTIONAL HOURS: 16 UNIT OBJECTIVES • Analyze the ways in which Americans’ views on the role of government change during the period 1945-1980. • Analyze the impact of individuals and their actions on the successes and failures of the period. • Examine the lasting inequalities and unequal distribution of progress in America during the period. • Understand the ways in which the Cold War and America’s global presence impacted Americans. • Examine the successes of the Civil Rights Movement and the obstacles that still remain. ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS • In what ways did the period between 1945 and 1980 shape the political, social, and cultural identity of the United States? • How did the voices and actions of individual citizens impact America during this period? 2 UNIT 8 THE COLD WAR AND THE STRUGGLE FOR EQUALITY UNIT 8 | THE COLD WAR AND THE STRUGGLE FOR EQUALITY UNIT 8 | CONTENT 1 LESSON 8.1 | THE COLD WAR 74 Read | Emmett Till 3 Opening | EQ Notebook – Lesson 1 79 Watch | Crash Course US History #40 – 5 Watch | Crash Course US History #37 – The 1960s in America The Cold War 83 Read | Civil Rights Movements in the 1960s 8 Read | The Truman Doctrine 97 Read | Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Marshall Plan Primary Sources 14 Activity | Berlin Airlift Source Analysis 108 Read | Black Panther Party: Ten-Point Program 19 Read | McCarthyism 112 Activity | Civil Rights Movement in Photos 24 Watch | Crash Course US History #38 – 113 Read | Echoes of the Civil Rights Movement The Cold War in Asia 119 Activity | James Baldwin: “My Dungeon Shook” 28 Read | Vietnam War: Gulf of Tonkin 125 Closing | EQ Notebook 33 Read | Vietnam War: An Overview 40 Activity | Vietnam in Photos Gallery Walk 127 LESSON 8.3 | THE SEVENTIES 46 Read | Resistance to Vietnam War 129 Opening | EQ Notebook - Lesson 3 50 Closing | EQ Notebook 131 Watch | Crash Course US History #41 – The Rise of Conservatism 52 LESSON 8.2 | THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT 134 Read | The Politics of Love, Sex, 55 Opening | EQ Notebook – Lesson 8.2 and Gender – American Yawp 57 Watch | Crash Course US History #39 – 141 Read | Watergate: Undoing a President Civil Rights and the 1950s 146 Watch | Crash Course US History #42 – 60 Read | The Affluent Society Ford, Carter, and the Economic Malaise and the Civil Rights Movement 149 Closing | EQ Notebook 3 LESSONUNIT 8 | 8.1 THE | COLDTHE COLD WAR WARAND THE STRUGGLE FOR EQUALITY LESSON 8.1.0 | OVERVIEW | The Cold War Coming out of World War II, the United States emerged as one of two remaining world powers. Most of the international events of this period were in some way related to the ongoing Cold War between the US and the Soviet Union. From military combat in Korea and Vietnam to the near disasters in Berlin and Cuba, the impact of the tense rivalry with global communism is difficult to overstate. Even domestically, the conflict bred contempt with events like McCarthyism and the Vietnam War signifying the deep divide between the ways in which Americans viewed this war of ideologies. ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS • In what ways did the period between 1945 and 1980 shape the political, social, and cultural identity of the United States? • How did the voices and actions of individual citizens impact America during this period? 1 LESSON 8.1 | THE COLD WAR LESSON 8.1.0 | OVERVIEW | Learning Outcomes, Vocabulary, & Outline LEARNING OUTCOMES • Identify the ways in which American ideas about itself and the world were shaped by the Cold War. • Analyze political, economic, and social effects of the Cold War. • Understand the impact of military involvement on the homefront. • Evaluate the successes and failures of American Cold War policy. LESSON ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS • How did the Cold War impact the way Americans and their government viewed and were viewed by the rest of the world? • In what ways did the Cold War serve to both unite and divide Americans?

  • Violence and Predation, Mainly in the Form of Piracy, Were Two Of
    violence and predation robert j. antony Violence and Predation on the Sino-Vietnamese Maritime Frontier, 1450–1850 iolence and predation, mainly in the form of piracy, were two of V the most persistent and pervasive features of the Sino-Vietnamese maritime frontier between the mid-fifteenth and mid-nineteenth cen- turies.1 In the Gulf of Tonkin, which is the focus of this article, piracy was, in fact, an intrinsic feature of this sea frontier and a dynamic and significant force in the region’s economic, social, and cultural devel- opment. My approach, what scholars call history from the bottom up, places pirates, not the state, at center stage, recognizing their impor- tance and agency as historical actors. My research is based on various types of written history, including Qing archives, the Veritable Records of Vietnam and China, local Chinese gazetteers, and travel accounts; I also bring in my own fieldwork in the gulf region conducted over the past six years. The article is divided into three sections: first, I discuss the geopolitical characteristics of this maritime frontier as a background to our understanding of piracy in the region; second, I consider the socio-cultural aspects of the gulf region, especially the underclass who engaged in clandestine activities as a part of their daily lives; and third, I analyze five specific episodes of piracy in the Gulf of Tonkin. The Gulf of Tonkin (often referred to here simply as the gulf), which is tucked away in the northwestern corner of the South China Sea, borders on Vietnam in the west and China in the north and east.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation w s s produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand marki!^ or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document phorographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was posable to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting tiiru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin phoroing at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • The War for Cochinchina, 1945-1951 DISSERTATION Presented In
    In the Year of the Tiger: the War for Cochinchina, 1945-1951 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By William McFall Waddell III Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Dr. John Guilmartin, Professor of History Dr. Peter Mansoor, Gen. Raymond E. Mason Chair in Military History Dr. Alan Beyerchen, Professor of History, Emeritus Copyright by William M. Waddell 2014 ABSTRACT In 1950 the French stake in Indochina experienced two parallel, but very different outcomes. In Tonkin the French military suffered a major catastrophe in the form of the Route Coloniale 4 disaster that nearly unmade the entire French position in the north of Indochina. In the south, in Cochinchina, something very different occurred. A series of resource-constrained, but introspective commanders, built a strong, circumscribed hold over the key economic and political portions of the country. By restraining their effort and avoiding costly attempts at the outright defeat of Viet Minh, the southern French command was able to emerge victorious in a series of violent, concerted, but now largely forgotten actions across 1950. It was, it must be remembered, not just French failure that set the stage for the American intervention in Vietnam, but also the ambiguous nature of French success. ii DEDICATION pour les causes perdues iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I wish to acknowledge the assistance of my thesis advisors, Dr. John Guilmartin, Dr. Peter Mansoor, and Dr. Alan Beyerchen. They have nurtured my interest in and passion for history, and pushed me to think in ways I certainly would not have on my own.
