John Paul II and Lech Walesa
SCOS Objective 5.04: Trace the course of the Cold War and judge its impact on the global community (including but not
limited to the Korean War, the
satellite nations of Eastern Europe,
and the Vietnam War).
Students should take from this image the impact that Pope John Paul II had in bringing about the fall of communism in Eastern Europe. Here he meets with Polish President Lech Walesa who began the Solidarity movement at the shipyards in Gdansk, Poland. This image can be used in conjunction with many others to give students a visual representation of all the forces working against the communist regimes of eastern Europe in the 1980's.
