In the SAQ prаctice, select ONE оf the fоllоwing TWO questions. Use your notes if these аre аvailable. Option 1 “Nixon defied simple political characterizations…. On most domestic issues, he adopted centrist positions, bobbing and weaving in an effort to maintain support from both the liberal and conservative wings of the Republican Party…. Nixon hoped to win over some traditionally Democratic constituencies to ensure his reelection and to rebuild the Republican Party as a national party. To woo them, he supported the core of New Deal economic and social programs from which they benefitted, even as he took conservative positions on other issues. Sometimes taken with thinking of himself as a Tory [type of conservative] reformer, Nixon proved willing to take innovative steps most conservatives would blanch at.” – Joshua B. Freeman, historian, American Empire”, 2012 “At [Nixon’s] funeral, Senator Bob Dole prophesied that ‘the second half of the twentieth century will be known as the age of Nixon.’ What Richard Nixon left behind was the very terms of our national self-image: a notion that there are two kinds of Americans. On the one side, that ‘Silent Majority.’ The ‘non-shouters’... [the] coalition who call themselves, now ‘Value voters,’ ‘people of faith,’ ‘patriots,’ … who feel themselves condescended to by snobby opinion-making elites….. On the other side are ‘liberals’, the ‘cosmopolitans,’ the ‘intellectuals’, the ‘professionals’,... who say shouting in opposition to injustice is a higher form of patriotism…. And both have learned to consider the other not quite American at all. The argument over Richard Nixon, pro and con, gave us the language for this war. – Rick Perlstein, historian and journalist, Nixonland, 2008 Using the excerpts above, answer A, B and C. Briefly describe ONE major difference between Freeman’s and Perlstein’s historical interpretations of the Nixon presidency. Briefly explain ONE specific historical event or development that is not explicitly mentioned in the excerpts that could be used to support Freeman’s interpretation of the Nixon presidency. Briefly explain ONE specific historical event or development that is not explicitly mentioned in the excerpts that could be used to support Perlstein’s interpretation of the Nixon presidency. OR CHOOSE Option 2 “The early Cold War in Europe, therefore, cannot be understood by looking at the policies of either the United States or the Soviet Union in isolation. What evolved on the continent was an interactive system in which the actions of each side affected not only the other but also the Europeans; their responses, in turn shaped further decisions in Washington and Moscow. It quickly became clear... that an American empire would accommodate far greater diversity than would one run by the Soviet Union: as a consequence most Europeans accepted and even invited American hegemony, fearing deeply what that of the Russians might entail.” – John Lewis Gaddis, historian, We Now Know: Rethinking Cold War History, 1997 “Instead of overturning the international system, many Third World nations became its main victims through the extension of Cold War tensions to their territories. . . . The main significance of the Cold War for the Third World (and of the Third World for the Cold War) seems to me to be this: That the ideological rivalry of the two superpowers came to dominate Third World politics to such an extent that in some countries it delegitimized the development of the domestic political discourse that any state needs for its survival.” – Odd Arne Westad, historian, “The New International History of the Cold War: Three (Possible) Paradigms,” Diplomatic History, 2000 Answer all parts of every question. Use complete sentences; an outline or bulleted list alone is not acceptable. Using the excerpts above, answer (A), (B), and (C).

Briefly explain how ONE event or development in the period 1945 to 1980 that is not explicitly mentioned in the excerpts could be used to support Westad’s interpretation.
