What happened? Explain in detail. Where – Where did this happen (region or cities)?

What was its significance? (Hint: Studying for these will also help you prepare for the multiple-choice, so don’t think of it as a wasted effort if you study for IDs that you don’t get on the exam) - Berlin Blockade - Great Society - Watergate Scandal - Triangular Diplomacy - Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan - MiG-25 vs. F-15 Development
