First, using a well-designed search strategy, you will locate and select one source and generate one annotation for that source. You must do this for each of the following topics-for a total of three sources and three annotations:

Include one primary source generated during WWII discussing either the aims of Stalin or of Churchill. Primary sources are generated in contemporary times. These may include interviews, speeches, government documents, newspapers, other historical papers or quantitative data.
Include one peer-reviewed history research article on the World War II roots of the Iron Curtain.
Include one scholarly book by a historian on the emergence of the superpowers in the Cold War.

Information literacy is the ability to find and evaluate information to help you make sound decisions, whether for academic, professional, or personal purposes.

In creating your annotations, follow the guidance of the Unit V Helpful Tips document attached. Remember, an annotation is not a summary or an abstract, but a quick identification of the credibility and utility of a source. Your appraisal in each annotation should have one sentence for each of the items listed in Step 5 of the guidance document.

Next, based on your summary and appraisal of the three sources above, write a one-page paper in which you do the following:

Begin with a thesis statement that compares 20th-century superpowers to 19th-century imperial powers.
Relate the rise of the superpowers in the Cold War to differing political philosophies among the Grand Alliance nations during World War II.
The finalized paper must be at least two pages, not including the title and reference pages. You must use at least two sources, in addition to the three sources for which you create annotations, to support your paper.
