Making History

Official tumblelog of Media Rich Learning, making American history for classrooms since 1997.

Chapter 9 of our educational documentary, “The Cold War,” details Detente, the period of relative calm during the conflict during the 1970s. The clip chronicles Nixon’s opening to China and the rise of various dissident movements within the Soviet bloc. Of note, is the Charter 77 initiative within Czechoslovakia, led by Václav Havel, who died earlier today.
