**Welcome to Lesson 3! In this lesson, you will apply your knowledge of the Cold War and its key events, in an online game which puts you in the shoes of either the United States or the Soviet Union.**

**You must choose either the United States or the Soviet Union and bring your chosen country through the events of the Cold War in an historically accurate way. Failure to do so can have unforeseen consequences. This task will assist you in recognising and remembering the key events of the Cold War and their chronological order.**

**As the Soviet Union, you must attempt to face an ailing economy, civil unrest in fellow “Fraternal Socialist” countries, and the potentiality of Military conflict with the West.**

**As the United States, you must attempt to face Communist aggression throughout Asia and Europe, the dawning of the Nuclear Age, and the challenges posed by the Space race and Arms race.**

**Experiment with different choices! Determine what choices led to the end of the Cold War in 1989.** **Cold War Game:** http://library.thinkquest.org/10826/game.htm
