At the start of the period, the instructor walked the classroom "stamping" the completed homework assignment from Friday for student's notebooks in Unit 9 (the Cold War).

Following the stamping of the homework, the instructor picked up with the lecture and discussion of the Cold War era...focusing today on the elements of Truman's Doctrine (Domino Theory and Containment) and how the Marshall Plan was used as an "economic vehicle" for the democratization of Europe. In addition, the instructor and the students evaluated the dividing of Berlin and its impact on US-Soviet relations (Berlin Blockade/Airlift) during the end of the decade (1945-1949).
