Nationalism and Conflict Outside the Cold War

The Cold War confrontation between the Superpowers dominated much of the history of the twentieth century following the end of World War Two. However, history and events in other areas of the world did not cease just because the relations between the USSR and the USA were dominant. The relationships and conflicts outside of the Cold War often affected the Superpowers and many were in some measure influenced by them.

In this assignment you and your group will look closely at the one of the many conflicts that took place during the period of the Cold War or in the years immediately following its conclusion in 1991. These events, though not part of the Superpower confrontation, all had or continue to have a lasting influence on our world today.

8. Political Change in Russia – Democracy, oligarchy and economic dislocation; p. 323-326

Your group is responsible for creating a PowerPoint presentation for the class of no less than seven minutes. This should include: 1) necessary background information to understand the topic; 2) the goal of each side in the dispute in question; or of the international organizations involved; 3) the role of the international community in mediating or attempting to solve the problem or conflict; 4) important leaders from each side of the conflict, or of the international organization (minimum three); 5) the long-term significance of the conflict or change to the present state of the world; 6) a handout encapsulating important information and people that can be used by you class mates.

Your groups will be limited to three people with the exception of the group choosing the United Nations which can be four because of the size and importance of the topic.
