About the cold war flashcards
GoConqr OriginalThe Cold War flashcards
These decks offer different ways to revisit the unit. The Cold War includes terms such as containment, the Marshall Plan and the Cuban Missile Crisis. Yalta and Potsdam asks about the conferences, their representatives and agreements. Other decks focus on the Berlin Wall, the Korean War and détente.
How to use the decks
For a broad starting point, try the terms in The Cold War. If you are revising a specific event, Korean War (5Ws) offers questions about its people, causes and phases. The deck on the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan asks about the invasion and its effects on East–West relationships.
Work through a deck, then return to questions or terms you found difficult. If you need a different way to review a topic, switch to a mind map or quiz on the unit page. Pick a deck that matches the topic you are studying.
