Scope

The Cold War, from the broken Grand Alliance through brinkmanship, detente, the Second Cold War and the endgame.

There is no video, no discussion feed and no cloud sync. Your progress lives on the device you read on.

Privacy

No sign-in or advertising. Progress, bookmarks, notes and review schedules stay on your device. Optional Google Analytics for Firebase starts off. If you allow it, Google receives feature-use events, app identifiers, device information, coarse region, sessions and Google Play purchase events. Notes, search terms, answers, scores and other entered content are not sent. Declining does not affect study or Full Access. Turn analytics off and reset local analytics data in Progress > Analytics privacy or through the app icon shortcut. Installed lessons work offline; purchases and restores use Google Play.
