Explain the American victories in Europe and in the Pacific during World War II. What challenges did the U.S. face and what strategies did they use on both fronts? What were the deciding battles/events that turned the tide of the war toward an American victory? Be sure to discuss the debates on how to wage war (and end the war) and clearly identify where you situate your own thinking in these debates.   2. How did the Cold War shape American domestic life in the 1950s?  How did the fear of the atomic bomb become all-consuming for the general population and how did they combat it?  We discussed the “Great Fear” of the 1950s and 1960s, but fear of what?  Is it just of the atomic bomb or is there something else?   3. Describe the course of events that brought the U.S. into the Vietnam conflict and how John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, and Richard Nixon, specifically, deepened our involvement. What was the war’s objective for the United States and was that an attainable goal? In the end, why did we lose and what are the lessons we should remember about one of America’s longest wars?   4. Discuss the importance of the federal government in the struggle for Black civil rights, including executive, judicial, and legislative branches.   5. 1968 was one of the most pivotal and terrible years in all of American history. What all occurred in this single year that made many question whether our nation would survive? Be sure to discuss both foreign and domestic events and the impact they had on society, describing at least three in significant detail.

Discuss World War II on the home front. What sacrifices do Americans have to make and how does the American government convince them this is a war worth supporting? What are the experiences of women and African Americans?   2. How did the U.S. government transition from World War II into the Cold War? This could be how soldiers are brought home as well as foundations for how the U.S. responded to the perceived threat of communism.   3. The Election of 1960 was one of the closest in American history, with a well-known politician on one side and a virtual nobody on the other. What strengths and weaknesses did each candidate have and how can we account for the election’s outcome?  How would you assess the success victor’s presidency (a success, failure, or mixed bag)? Be sure to defend your choice.   4. Why were the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965 necessary? What obstacles stood in African Americans’ way in the mid-1960s (both legal and illegal) that kept them from exercising basic rights like access to education, quality facilities, and the vote? How had they been denied these rights in the past? Describe the activism to get these laws on the table/passed and explain what each accomplished.   5. Assess Richard Nixon’s presidency, including his successes and failures. How did he finally achieve political success in 1968, what did he do with his time in office, and how did he see that success slip through his fingers leading up to his resignation? What avalanche of events led to the end of his presidency?
