The Cold War really doesn't inform any of my political thinking. I can remember my dad explaining the Warsaw Pact to me when I was about 8 and the Berlin Wall coming down but that's it. I personally feel very European in general, I don't feel much in common with the US compared to how I feel even somewhere like Russia or the Czech Republic, I think that is a bit shift from my parents' generation.

I tend to have big gaps in my knowledge of political history from about 1960-1988ish because that was too recent to be taught in school or for me to find interesting to read about in my spare time (I liked much earlier history) but too long ago for me to remember properly. (Cos I was born in 1980.)

You didn't do anything about it at school? Odd - I'm a few years older than you and we did a big module on the cold war, U2/cuban missile crises and all for GCSE.

I note I didn't do GCSE history, I don't know if [livejournal.com profile] shreena did or not.
