The Century - Approaching the Apocalypse - Roughly 43 minutes
This series of 3 videos covers events that occurred during Nixon's administration. It begins by discussing the first moon landing (1969) and ends with the Fall of Vietnam (1975). The video mainly focuses on material in Chapter 24 (Nixon's foreign policy interaction with China/Soviet Union and Watergate), but also covers Vietnam (protests in the U.S., how the war was progressing in Vietnam, how returning troops/POW's were treated). I usually show these videos (accompanied with questions) after Section 2 is completed. If you are absent, I will give you the questions that accompany this video in class for you to watch at home. I somehow lost the file.
The Century - Starting Over - Roughly 43 minutes
This series of 3 videos covers events that occurred during Carter's presidency (1976 - 1980). His inauguration, the energy crisis, environmental issues, and foreign policy (The Camp David Accords, Soviet-Afghanistan War, and Iran Hostage Crisis) are focuses. I usually show this series of videos (accompanied with questions) at the end of Section 4. You can access the questions that accompany the video by clicking here.
