You have answered many DBQ’s this year; this is your chance to write one. Many options are available for the focus of this study. Your question can be comparative, focusing on two nations or leaders. It could also look at the geopolitical, military, or economic events that contributed to the Cold War. The following areas will be researched: Yalta Conference, political events between Yalta and Potsdam, Potsdam Conference, Potsdam Declaration, Germany after surrender, Truman Doctrine, containment and Communism from 1945 - 1950, Communists Information Bureau, Marshall Plan, Berlin Blockade, and North Atlantic Treaty Organization. The primary political figures are: United States ; Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman; Soviet Union : Stalin, Minister V.M. Molotov, and Great Britain : Winston Churchill, Clement Attlee. Each DBQ will be supported with eight to twelve documents. These should predominantly consist of primary texts using documents from newspapers, letters, and military reports. No more than three images may be used, but one of these three should be a political cartoon.
 * NOTE ** : Documents and reports to be included must be summarized in TWO PARAGRAPHS OR LESS.
