A third FRQ

  • How would you organize this one?

Compare and contrast the political and economic effects of the Cold War (1945-1991)
on Western Europe with the effects on Eastern Europe.

Ideas--
  • Marshall Plan vs. COMECON
  • welfare state vs. communist econmy
  • feminism movement vs. communist society
  • NATO vs. Warsaw Pact
  • EEC vs. Communism
  • Free Enterprise vs. Communism
  • Toleration of the 1960's vs. Soviet inference in Prague Spring

ehh tricky one, i wouldnt choose this one if i could help it, takes too long to organize my head. if i were to group it at least i would prob do something like this though:

*Plans and Events during Cold War*

*Effects on WEstern Europe*

*Effects on Eastern Europe*

I am guessing this one would be one those 4 paragraph essays right? Either way:

1) thesis paragraph

2) Effects on Western Europe
-Germany divided
-Most of western european states were no longer top powers (Suez Canal incident illustrates British fall)
-Almost all communist parties are discriminated against for fear of communist takeover

3) Effects on Eastern Europe
-Almost all of eastern europe was under soviet control.
-Limited industrial development
-limited rights
-overall Easter Europe (apart of Yugoslavia, Turkey, and Greece) were hindered

4) Concluding paragraph

two major points with emphasis on three to four supporting facts would score nicely

Yeah I think I remember Was saying that if the essay calls for you to compare and contrast you can have 4 paragraphs and still do well.

i would do Nato vs. Warsaw Pact

1. Thesis

2. Describe Nato:
- Anti-Communist
-Including U.S.
-Containment agenda
-economically sucessful
3. Warsaw Pact
-Totally Communist
-Members of the Warsaw Pact are all Soviet Satelite states
- Including U.S.
-members are economically unstable ( including Soviet Union)

how about the economic miracle of West Germany and then Great Britain compared to the complete and utter economic implosion of the Eastern bloc???

That is what I was kind of getting at when I said Eastern Europe was industrialy limited.
