Compare the Eastern and Western paths to recovery in Europe.

Lesson 12 – Superpower Struggles and Global Transformations: The Cold WarIntroduction:In 1974, a retired Frenchwoman, Françoise Giroud, contrasted her early life as a stenographer in the 1930s with the lives of young women of the 1970s. “[T]here is simply no comparison…. A month of paid vacation, … organized travel, … paperback books, … blue jeans and the T-shirts, instant mashed potatoes, the transistor, … the boyfriend who has a [used car], … and the Pill! It’s not a better world; it’s another world altogether.” This new world that Giroud described boasted unheard-of material well-being, international peace throughout most of the West, innovative day-to-day conveniences, and striking new medical knowledge. The painting on the facing page is an apt illustration of this new age. The image reveals a wealthy, commercial society awash in consumer goods. In effect, the painting offers a view of reality from different perspectives, paralleling the efforts that many Westerners made to understand their rapidly changing world.Yet these decades also had their dark side. Nations around the world labored to recover from the devastation of World War II. As they did so, a new menace emerged—growing tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union that for decades would overshadow international relations and everyday life. At the same time, colonial peoples took advantage of Europe’s weakness and changing attitudes toward imperialism and demanded their independence in ways the West could not ignore. New nations and international organizations soon emerged throughout the world, and global interactions grew so complex that the traditional lines between Western and non-Western societies blurred more than ever.Lesson ObjectivesStudent will:- Analyze the causes and spread of the Cold War.- Compare the Eastern and Western paths to recovery in Europe.- Study the struggle to end colonialism.- Explore trends in art, literature, and thought.- Trace the challenges to social peace during the 1960s and 1970s.- Analyze the transformation of Western industrial societies.- Examine developments in science and medicine.Please go to the website of the British Museum, a link named – History of the World in 100 objects. http://www.bbc.co.uk/ahistoryoftheworld/about/british-museum-objects/object (Oxus chariot model), from the period covered in this module, and upload a word document report of about 250 words.In your report have a title – the name of the artifact at the top, then in the write up include answers to the: Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How.
