 * The Korean War **

This session will examine the Korean War as the key event of the beginning of the Cold War, including the model of South Korea as the start of United States militarization around the globe, the longer history of U.S. involvement in Korea, and a consideration of consensus building in the 1950s, exploring how the country was persuaded to go to war so soon after WWII. In the latter half of the session, award-winning teacher Kevin O'Reilly will present his distinct approach to teaching the Korean War through critical thinking, decision making and problem solving strategies.
