    The Cold War: Crash Course US History #37

    In which John Green teaches you about the Cold War, the decades-long conflict between the USA and the USSR. The Cold War was called cold because of the lack of actual fighting, but this is inaccurate. There was plenty of fighting, from Korea to Viet Nam to Afghanistan, but we'll get into that stuff next week. This week we'll talk about how the Cold War started. In short, it grew out of World War II. Basically, the Soviets occupied Eastern Europe and the US-supported western Europe. This setup would spill across the world, with client states on both sides. It's all in the video. You should just watch it. Hey teachers and students - Check out CommonLit's free collection of reading passages and curriculum resources to learn more about the events of this episode. The Cold War spanned over four decades of American history, beginning with the paranoia of McCarthyism, a political witch hunt for communists: https://www.commonlit.org/texts/mccarthyism President Kennedy delivered an Inaugural Address during the height of the Cold War, initiating a space race: https://www.commonlit.org/texts/president-kennedy-s-inaugural-address President Kennedy also oversaw Cuba's emergence as a Cold War rival of the United States: https://www.commonlit.org/texts/cold-war-rivals-cuba-and-the-united-states Want to learn more about the Cold War?

    War and Nation Building in Latin America: Crash Course World History 225

    In which John Green teaches you about nation-building and nationalism in Latin America. Sometimes, the nations of Latin America get compared to the nations of Europe and are found wanting. This is kind of a silly comparison. The rise of democratic, economically powerful nations in Europe came about under a very different set of circumstances than the way nations arose in Latin America, so the regions are necessarily a lot different. But why? John will explore whether it was a lack of international war which impeded Latin America's growth, which sounds like a crazy thing to say, but you should hear him out. Citations: Citation 1: Centeno, Miguel Angel. Blood and Debt: War and the Nation-state in Latin America. Penn State U. Press. University Park, PA. 2002 p. 86 Citation 2: Centeno p. 90 Citation 3: Centeno p. 175 Citation 4: Centeno p. 275 Crash Course is on Patreon!

    World War II Part 2 - The Homefront: Crash Course US History #36

    In which John Green teaches you about World War 2, as it was lived on the home front. You'll learn about how the war changed the country as a whole, and changed how Americans thought about their country. John talks about the government's control of war production, and how the war probably helped to end the Great Depression. Broader implementation of the income tax, the growth of large corporations, and the development of the West Coast as a manufacturing center were also results of the war. The war positively changed the roles of women and African Americans, but it was pretty terrible for the Japanese Americans who were interred in camps. In short, World War II changed America's role in the world, changed American life at home, and eventually spawned the History Channel. Hey teachers and students - Check out CommonLit's free collection of reading passages and curriculum resources to learn more about the events of this episode. At home in America, everyone joined in the war effort, with everyone contributing to American industry: https://www.commonlit.org/texts/how-american-industry-won-world-war-ii But America had its fair share of shame, such as when the country turned away Jewish refugees on the St. Louis who would die in the Holocaust: https://www.commonlit.org/texts/jewish-refugees-on-the-st-louis During World War II, there was also a painful period of Japanese relocation and internment throughout the country: https://www.commonlit.org/texts/japanese-relocation-during-world-war-ii --- Learn more about WWII in these other Crash Course videos: Crash Course World History: World War II (38): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q78COTwT7nE World War II, A War for Resources (220): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-2q-QMUIgY Crash Course European History: World War II (38): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hs_JMydrxZM World War II Civilians and Soldiers (39): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlx6ur_D51s The Holocaust, Genocides, and Mass Murder of WWII (40): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQeDvnapdlg Post-World War II Recovery (42): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlp068CmQaE Crash Course Black American History: World War II (31): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7wrwPnQVg4 --- Chapters: Introduction 00:00 Changes in Government Function During WWII 0:34 WWII Economic Impact 1:56 Industrialization in WWII 3:06 Women at Work 3:51 Mystery Document 4:36 FDR's Four Freedoms 5:40 The GI Bill of Rights 6:36 Free Enterprise 6:58 American Attitudes About Race During WWII 7:37 Japanese-American Internment Camps 8:54 African-Americans in WWII 9:45 Post-WWII Developments 11:21 Credits 13:48 Crash Course is on Patreon!

    What Is Outbreak Culture? Crash Course Outbreak Science #13

    When we think of how we respond to outbreaks, we often think of physical things like vaccines or medicines, but there is another factor that is just as critical to understand: culture! Culture determines how we collaborate and use the resources at our disposal in the face of an outbreak. So in this episode of Crash Course Outbreak Science, we'll look at the ways culture impacts our outbreak response, and in turn how outbreaks can change our cultures. This episode of Crash Course Outbreak Science was produced by Complexly in partnership with Operation Outbreak and the Sabeti Lab at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard—with generous support from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.
