This document outlines a time travel roleplaying activity where students take on the role of Doctor Who and choose an event from the Modern Era (1945-1970) to alter. They will write an essay explaining the original event, how they changed it, and speculate on the ramifications of that change based on their research. Students are given options of events related to the Cold War, technology/economy, civil rights movement, and national politics to potentially alter. They will present their findings in an essay and timeline showing the original and altered timeline. Research rules require at least 5 sources, including 2 websites, 2 primary sources, and 1 book. Any altered timeline must be supported by research and show impacts on other related historical events.

The document discusses Edward R. Murrow's decline in the late 1950s and early 1960s which included the loss of his Alcoa sponsorship, the cancellation of his show "See It Now", and the production of "Harvest of Shame". It also discusses his famous 1958 speech to the Radio Television News Directors Association where he warned about television being used just for profits. Murrow then took a sabbatical before being appointed by JFK to the United States Information Agency, and he later died of lung cancer in 1965.
Fall of communism in Eastern Europe
The fall of communism in Eastern Europe began with reforms initiated by Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev in the 1980s. Gorbachev's policies of glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring) gave citizens in Eastern Bloc nations more freedom and led them to push for democratic reforms. Nations like Poland, Hungary, East Germany, and Czechoslovakia held free elections and peacefully overthrew their communist governments in 1989. Romania's transition was more violent, with dictator Nicolae Ceausescu being overthrown and executed that same year. By 1990, communism had collapsed across Eastern Europe.

North Korea's Holocaust
The document discusses the human rights abuses and political prison camps in North Korea. It notes that North Korea's dictator Kim Jong-un and his father have killed millions through starvation or imprisonment in political prison camps similar to those used by Hitler and Stalin. An estimated 300,000 North Koreans are currently imprisoned in brutal camps like Camp 22, Camp 16, and Camp 14 for offenses such as being Christian or related to someone deemed a traitor by the government. The document calls for people to sign an online letter of confession to bring awareness to these human rights violations in North Korea.
Reasons the Cold War ended - USSR defeat in Afghanistan
The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 marked the end of détente between the USSR and USA and plunged the countries further into the Cold War. The Soviets struggled to defeat the Mujahedeen rebels due to their use of guerilla warfare and weapons provided secretly by the US. Over 14,000 Soviet troops died and hundreds of aircraft were destroyed. This drain on resources and blow to national pride, on top of economic troubles, contributed to Gorbachev's decision to withdraw from Afghanistan in 1989, signaling a end to the Cold War.
Reasons the Cold War ended - Role of Ronald Reagan
Ronald Reagan's actions as US President from 1981-1989 helped end the Cold War in the following ways:
1) He significantly increased US military spending and developed new weapons systems, which the Soviet Union could not afford to match, weakening their military power.
2) His Strategic Defense Initiative, known as "Star Wars," aimed to create an anti-missile defense system and terrified the Soviets by potentially making their nuclear weapons obsolete.
3) By meeting with Soviet leader Gorbachev four times between 1985-1988, Reagan built a relationship of trust and they agreed to nuclear arms reductions, lessening tensions and the need for the Cold War.

Chapter 20 sec 1
The US mobilized for war by dramatically increasing industrial output, which ended the Great Depression. American workers were much more productive than German and Japanese workers. The US produced over 600,000 vehicles, 88,000 tanks, 7,000 ships, and billions of bullets and rifles. Over 40 million men were drafted into the military after physicals and basic training. African American soldiers faced segregated facilities, but fought for a double victory over racism abroad and at home. Women joined the workforce in large numbers, including in new roles in the military like the Women's Army Corps. Despite discrimination, the US population rallied together through rationing, scrap drives, and home front efforts to support the war effort.
Revised Presentation about North Korea Political Prison Camps
The document discusses North Korean political prison camps, known as "kwan-li-so" in North Korea and "political prison camps" in South Korea. It provides details about the four large political prison camps still in operation in North Korea - Camp 14, Camp 15, Camp 16, and Camp 25 - which currently hold an estimated 80,000 to 130,500 prisoners. The camps are isolated and heavily guarded communities where inmates are forced to do hard labor until their death. Inmates have no chance of leaving and face constant human rights violations like forced labor, torture, rape, and murder. The document also shares the story of Mr. Shin Dong-hyuk, who was born in Camp 14 and later became the first
Mc carthyism
Joseph McCarthy was a Senator from Wisconsin during the 1950s who gained fame for accusing over 200 government employees of being communists. During the height of the Red Scare and Cold War hysteria, McCarthy named people like John Service who had expressed views seen as too favorable to communism. This led McCarthy to launch a widespread witch hunt where he made unproven claims against thousands. His tactics ruined lives and careers but support waned as his accusations grew absurd, damaging the anti-communist cause. He was eventually censured by the Senate and died disgraced in 1957.

World War 2 began when Adolf Hitler rose to power in Germany in 1933 and gave speeches to inspire German nationalism. Hitler wanted to "liberate" the world, but his actions led to war as nations like the U.S., France, and U.K. opposed him and the Nazi party. Meanwhile in Asia, Japan had already invaded parts of China before allying with Nazi Germany. Together, the Axis powers of Germany and Japan fought against the Allied forces in a global conflict that became World War 2.
The fall of the soviet union
The fall of the Soviet Union was caused by several economic and political factors over many years. Mikhail Gorbachev attempted reforms with glasnost and perestroika in the 1980s, but these had unintended consequences like increased nationalism that contributed to the USSR's dissolution. An August 1991 coup failed to stop growing independence movements. By December 1991, the Soviet Union had dissolved and was replaced by the Commonwealth of Independent States.

The Civil War resulted in several important political, economic, and social changes for the United States. Politically, the Union victory preserved the United States as one nation and led to the abolition of slavery. Economically, the war spurred industrialization and the growth of a national economy. Socially, it brought an end to slavery and established the rights of African Americans, though racism and discrimination continued.

Cold War Flashpoints - Cuba: events during the crisis
In September 1962, US surveillance discovered nuclear missile sites being built in Cuba, leading to a major crisis. President Kennedy imposed a quarantine on Cuba to stop Soviet shipments and demanded the missiles be removed. Tensions escalated as ships were stopped and military forces took aggressive actions. Both the US and USSR brought their nuclear weapons to ready launch status and their leaders nearly authorized attacks in the heat of the moment. Fortunately, the Soviet Union backed down and turned their ships around, and secret agreements resulted in the removal of missiles from Cuba and also from Turkey and Italy.
McMarthyism
McCarthyism arose in the late 1940s and early 1950s as anti-communist paranoia grew in response to Soviet expansion in Europe, the Soviet atomic bomb, and the Korean War stalemate. This led Republicans like McCarthy to accuse Democrats of being soft on communism, fueling fears that caused millions to take loyalty oaths or face investigations and limiting political activism and union activity. Concerns over Soviet espionage were high during this period, leading to the conviction and execution of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg for passing nuclear secrets to the Soviet Union.
Pecha kucha
Adolf Hitler rose to power as the dictator and chancellor of Germany in the 1930s. The Nazis believed the Aryan race was superior and persecuted groups they deemed "inferiors" like Jews, Roma people, people with disabilities, and others. This persecution culminated in the Holocaust and death camps like Auschwitz where over 1.5 million people, mostly Jews, were killed. Allied troops liberated the prisoners at Auschwitz in January 1945, near the end of World War 2.

Changing Cold War Relations - why did change happen
The USSR went through many changes in the 1980s that ultimately led to the end of the Cold War. The Soviet Union was struggling with financial problems due to mismanagement of state-owned businesses and the high costs of military commitments. It was also failing to win the Afghanistan war and could no longer afford to maintain military control over Eastern Europe. Additionally, the Chernobyl disaster and poverty within the USSR and Eastern bloc countries increased pressure for reform. Meanwhile, US President Ronald Reagan intensified pressure on the Soviet Union through military buildup and initiatives like Star Wars, while figures like Pope John Paul II and UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher also challenged Soviet influence. USSR leader Mikhail Gorbachev introduced reforms like glasn

The United States mobilized for war by dramatically increasing industrial production. American workers were highly productive, manufacturing over 600,000 Jeeps, 88,000 tanks, and 7,000 ships during the war. The government intervened in the economy by controlling wages, rents, prices and production quotas. Over 40 million men were drafted into the military. The war effort increased opportunities for women and minorities, though racism still persisted as seen in the internment of Japanese Americans. Overall, the massive mobilization transformed the economy and society, helping to end the Great Depression while fueling the early Civil Rights movement.

The “credibility” issue: Many will increasingly distrust what their government tells them. The Vietnam War will indicate to many that their government cannot be trusted.
In the 1950s, many regarded the government as the engine of growth. Between the 1950s and 1960s, however, many began to grow suspicious of government action. Rather than providing for an improved

It states that the years 1970-1973 saw the peak and decline of the movement, as the decade began with optimism but many goals were not achieved by the early 1970s due to ongoing crises like the Vietnam War and Watergate scandal. As a result, many young people became disillusioned with the movement and turned away from it. Despite its demise, the movement had a lasting impact by helping bring about changes like the legalization of abortion and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as well as creating a more tolerant society.

It states that the years 1970-1973 saw the peak and decline of the movement, as the decade began with optimism but many goals were not achieved by the early 1970s due to ongoing crises like the Vietnam War and Watergate scandal.

The anti-war movement in the United States began with student protests and grew significantly over the course of the Vietnam War. Major protests included large marches in Washington D.C. in 1965 and 1969 that drew tens of thousands and half a million participants respectively. The movement was energized by events like the Kent State shootings in 1970 and opposition to Nixon's invasion of Cambodia. Music played an important role in inspiring and rallying supporters to the anti-war cause. By 1971, another 500,000-person march signaled widespread disapproval of the war, and the movement's success ultimately contributed to the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Vietnam.

Video Reflection 1 Keckler-Alexander
The document discusses David Farber's thesis in his book The Age of Great Dreams about interpreting the 1960s in context of the "American Century" and as a result of emerging new ideas and values in the "human marketplace." It also discusses themes of the 1960s like change, self-expression, and responsibility. The author believes the turbulence of the 1960s was a "perfect storm" brought on by simmering social issues, the assassination of JFK, the Vietnam War, and the rise of mass media and television news, which psychologically impacted Americans and prevented a return to normalcy after traumatic events.
