What was the impact of the spread of the Vietnam War to Cambodia?

(0)
Norodom Sihanouk maintained the independence of Cambodia in the 1960s by carefully keeping the regional powers, China, North Vietnam and the USA satisfied with Cambodia's support for each of these. However, the vacillations did not please other Cambodian politicians and led to tacit support for the North Vietnamese Army using Cambodian territory for the Ho Chi Minh Trail and the USA bombing eastern Cambodia in Operation Menu. The policy collapsed completely when the USA invaded in 1970 and Vietnam in 1975. This source-based homework task is designed for students of the NSW Ancient History Syllabus.

This episode of First Australians gives an excellent academic account of the first 50 years of contact between the Arrernte people of central Australia and the European missionaries, pastoralists and police.

Food in the Mongol Empire

(0)
Let it never be said that the Mongols didn't have a broad diet. After all, they claim to have had both white food AND red food! This activity looks at their diet, provides students with an activity involving spotting the spelling mistakes and editing these words, then designing a banquet menu for a Mongol feast. Please remind students that eating people is a sign of poor hospitality and table manners. This should only happen in extreme circumstances and MUST be a non-Mongol mercenary. Apart from this proviso students must select entrée, main course, dessert and drinks (OK - so that's only koumiss - but it can be served chilled or warm!)
