Hist 390 The Digital Past

Talking about the Cold War honestly isn’t one of my favorite topics. However, I recognize the importance of the Cold War on the development of the United States and our technology. Because I missed the last class, I thought it was helpful that Professor O’Malley did a recap of what was discussed in the previous class.

During every war, the United States goes through an increase in industrialization in an attempt to compensate for the war and in order to try and gain a tactical edge in the war. So, it does surprise me that universities grew during this time frame too.

I would be interested in learning more about university growth during that time, I also wonder if, without the war, universities would be where they are today.
