Choose 2 leaders, from different regions, and assess the impact they had on the nature of the Cold War.
Choose 2 crises, from different regions, and assess the impact they had on the nature of the Cold War.
Think about causation - what changed? what did the events in the crisis lead to? how did the leaders adjust their relationship with the opposing side? were tensions eased?
Examples for triple dipping, but these are NOT comprehensive:
Cuba, Cuban Missile Crisis, Castro
Germany, Berlin Crisis #2 (W needs to leave Berlin...Brain Drain...) and Wall, Khrushchev
China, Taiwan Straight Crisis, Mao
Two leaders who would be good as a solo venture without much dipping into the other two topics: Saint Reagan and Gorbachev.
