Recently in class my group has been working on a project regarding the Cold War. In previous years in history classes the Cold War was not often brought up. It was always the Civil War, World War I, and World War II that came up in class. Learning about the Cold War finally as a junior has been rewarding in learning about how our country responded to foreign influences. It showed me how "gulible" the U.S. was in thinking that many of their government officials were Communists. Overall, finally learning about a war not often brought up helped me understand how the U.S. has transformed throughout the years.
