history report In my favourite history class this morning we were covering the Cold War. It's interesting, all the different world powers that were actually involved. As Dr. Childs pointed out, we often think of it as primarily a conflict between the two main players, Russia and the U.S., but the events leading up to those very chilled relations had an major impact on how things played out. In Eastern Asia, there was the battle for China (between Mao's communists and the nationalist forces of Shiang Kai-shek), then the invasion of South Korea by the North, authorized by Moscow, resulting in UN action, which turned a little too aggressive, forcing China to get involved. I had no idea it was that complex. Fascinating.  | ¶ 11:57 a.m.
