Answer 4

Step 1:
Carefully examine each of the six primary sources related to the Cold War.

Step 2:
Imagine how a person would have experienced those events at the time. Create a character in your mind, someone old enough to have seen and heard about these events when they happened. Note that the sources are American when thinking about your character. Be creative─was the character born and raised American? Is he or she a recent Soviet immigrant? What does the person do for work? Does he or she have family? You don’t have to answer these questions in writing. They may help you understand your character better in order to complete the next step.

Step 3:
Use these interview questions to imagine how your character would respond to them.

Step 4:
Write your character’s responses to the interview questions, including two additional questions you create yourself. If you like, you may also choose to record the interview as a video or podcast by having someone play the role of your character.

Step 5:
To complete this assignment, use your audio recording or notes to summarize your interview. If your actor gives permission, you may submit your recorded interview instead of a written summary. You must be sure that you include all of the questions and answers in your selected delivery method.
Your final submission must also include a reflection that thoroughly answers the following questions:

What did you learn from the primary sources or lesson that was most surprising and why?
How might a Russian adult have responded differently to the interview questions?

John F. Kennedy, Cuban Missile Crisis Address to the Nation
Delivered 22 October 1962

“Good evening, my fellow citizens:

This Government, as promised, has maintained the closest surveillance of the Soviet military buildup on the island of Cuba. Within the past week, unmistakable evidence has established the fact that a series of offensive missile sites is now in preparation on that imprisoned island. The purpose of these bases can be none other than to provide a nuclear strike capability against the Western Hemisphere.

Upon receiving the first preliminary hard information of this nature last Tuesday morning at 9 A.M., I directed that our surveillance be stepped up. And having now confirmed and completed our evaluation of the evidence and our decision on a course of action, this Government feels obliged to report this new crisis to you in fullest detail.

The characteristics of these new missile sites indicate two distinct types of installations. Several of them include medium range ballistic missiles, capable of carrying a nuclear warhead for a distance of more than 1,000 nautical miles. Each of these missiles, in short, is capable of striking Washington, D. C., the Panama Canal, Cape Canaveral, Mexico City, or any other city in the southeastern part of the United States, in Central America, or in the Caribbean area…”

Answer 24

Ok.

Answer 25

Question 1: What was the first time you remember hearing about the conflict between the Soviet Union (or the USSR) and the United States? Tell me about it.

Answer 26

The first time I recall hearing about the USSR and the United States having a conflict was probably in early 1947, I was working in the military as crewman on one of the Carriers. We were told about it, so we had to be on alert for a long time, no matter what. It was interesting when we were told. We couldn't really think that we could go to war with the USSR.

Answer 27

Question 2: What does the term "Cold War" mean to you? What do you remember seeing or reading in the news about the Cold War, or conflict between the USSR and the United States?

Answer 28

The cold war means a stalemate to me. There isn't much of a meaning behind it except a stalemate between two global super powers. I remember a lot about the cold war in the news and the conflicts we were having. During JFK's speeches, you could hear hints about the cold war, in the news articles you would get daily updates on the things like the space race and the tensions between the two countries.

Answer 29

Question 3: What books, movies, cartoons, or posters did you see that villainized either country, capitalists, communists, or dealt with the Cold War? How did they shape your impressions at that time?

Answer 30

I saw many cartoons, movies and posters that make both countries look like villains. There were books about capitalism and how it was better, books on communism, classes on Americanism vs Communism. These didn't really change my views on the cold war that much. Both countries were just fighting a stalemate to see who could become the worlds greatest super power.

Answer 31

Question 4 :What were you taught in school and at home about the conflict? What did your school and family teach about nuclear threats and nuclear war?

Answer 32

Well, at home I taught my son that both countries were just trying to show off, that something bad could end up happening but our government would figure it out. We were taught in world war two about the duck under a desk or table, however, that was ineffective due to the blasts and radiation. We taught our son about how to try to survive the blast, we were taught about fallout shelters and how to use them too.

Answer 33

(You've got to remember, both these countries were just trying to show off to one another, I am very American, but looking at it, you'll notice this was just us showing off.)

Answer 34

ok

Answer 35

Next one?

Answer 36

^do i add that

Answer 37

No.

Answer 38

ok

Answer 39

Not the thing in parenthesis.

Answer 40

Question 5: Were you or any of your family members ever afraid that there would be a hot war or nuclear war between the two countries? When did you feel that way? If yes, did you do anything to prepare or get ready for it?

Answer 41

Yes, there were times we felt like that. I felt the most like that during the Cuban Missile Crisis. There wasn't much I could do to prepare or get ready for it, I just got some supplies and canned food just in case of an issue.

Answer 42

Question 6: What aspects of the Space Race, or competition to explore space, do you remember? Was "Space Race" a phrase that you remember using at the time? What did it mean to you?

Answer 43

We called it a Space Race, I remember all of the space race, my son was very interested in space so we were kept up to date. I remember Sputnik, Buzz Aldrin and the Apollo missions.

Answer 44

Question 7: Can you think of any specific examples of rivalry between the USA and USSR in other areas of life, such as sports?

Answer 45

@Arcadiouse

Answer 46

Yes, in sports we had a rivalry, we had rivalries in a lot of things to be honest. Sports was the main thing a long with space, nuclear capability and economy.

Answer 47

Question 8: Do you remember the Berlin Wall coming down? How did it make you feel? How have your feelings about that era changed since 1989 and the Berlin Wall coming down?

Answer 48

I do remember, the berlin wall coming down. I felt really happy for the residents of Germany. My feelings have changed from that era. I used to think USSR and Russia was a horrible country for how they treated their citizens, but they have came a long way. (can we start a new thread?)
