WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment

Cold War Map Quiz - Symptoms and Signs

Test how well you can place the countries, alliances, divided territories, and strategic locations that shaped the Cold War. This free, no-sign-up quiz ranges from Berlin and the Iron Curtain to Korea, Cuba, Vietnam, and Afghanistan. Because no map asset is supplied, it is a text-based historical-geography quiz rather than an interactive map. Each question uses a dated fact or a clear location clue to account for borders and alignments that changed over time.
