Cold+War

 * What I know about the Cold War:**

The Zooks and Yooks didn't get along because they had different beliefs. They both thought that if their way was right then the other had to be wrong. Each side made bigger and bigger weapons to use which made this conflict worse. Also, they would talk about each other a lot with their own people about how bad they were even though they said they had never even met someone from they other side. People always want to believe that they're right, and that you can only look at something from one perspective. So with friends and siblings you can fight and not want to take the other persons view into account. To prevent this conflict, the Yooks and The Zooks could have talked to each other about the problem they had instead of going right into violence. Then they might have realized that people have different opinions and there can be more than one way to look at something. - The grandfather tells his grandson that the Zooks are doing things the wrong way. - Both sides talk about each other in a negative way to each other This story tells me that the Cold War was a war fought over the difference of opinion over a subject. My ending to the story would be that the little Yook saves both the Yooks and Zooks by telling them to stop fighting and work out their difference of opinion just by talking it over. I think this because why would they have they little one there if he wasn't going to do anything. He also might be more unbiased to this subject because he was questioning his grandfather in the beginning.

 * [|Korean War Movie Clip DOC]**

> I believe that the Korean War was a Proxy War, even though it had started out as a Civil War between North and South Korea, because the Soviets and America were fighting along with North Korea and South Korea. It wasn't just the north and south fighting each other, the Soviets and America were helping for their cause (spread of nationalist/communist). -America, Soviets, and China all joined this war to help either the North or South (nationalist/communist) -The UN was under the control of American General Douglas McArthur -Soviets were fighting through the North and Americans were fighting through the South, if they had just fought straight out against each other there would have been many more problems because they all had nuclear weapons.
