World History • Cold War • Lesson 4
Map Challenge: NATO, Warsaw Pact, and Neutral States
Sort the countries, color the map, then reflect on how alliances divided Europe during the Cold War.
How this works
- First, drag each country into NATO, Warsaw Pact, or Neutral / Other.
- Then choose a color mode and click the countries on the Europe map.
- Blue means NATO, red means Warsaw Pact, and gray means Neutral / Other.
- The United States and Canada appear in the sorting challenge, but not on the Europe map.
- Berlin is shown automatically as a divided city and is not part of the student clicking challenge.
- You get 3 checks total. The 3rd check becomes the recorded interactive score.
