Timeline

 list (in chronological order) fifteen (15) significant Cold War events, that you choose, since 1945.  In a few sentences, identify and explain the importance of each event. A good timeline should have an exact (or approximate) year date for each event on the timeline. There should be a description of the event and a short assessment of the importance of that event.

  (So, what was the Cold War?  In simple terms the Cold War was the non-shooting war, i.e., the non "hot" war, waged between the United States and its allies and the Soviet Union and its allies from about late 1945 to the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991.)
