Currently underrepresented regions include Africa and especially Latin America. I'm not really well versed on either, but if we want to explore some specific countries that have been focal points of activity or serve as examples of general regional changes, then we might want to include information on any of the following:

Decolonization is an interesting article containing information on all colonies and their independence.
 * Africa - Decolonization of Africa
 * Southern Africa
 * History of South Africa
 * History of South Africa
 * History of South Africa
 * Eastern Africa
 * Rwandan Genocide we've got already
 * Western Africa
 * I honestly don't know what would be particularly relavent here. Both Nigeria and the Congo have been rather turbulent.
 * Northern Africa
 * History of Libya perhaps
 * Latin America
 * South America
 * History of Argentina - I think this is a must
 * The Dirty War
 * History of Colombia
 * Central America
 * History of Nicaragua - lots of turmoil and relevant to Iran-Contra Affair
 * History of Panama
 * Caribbean
 * Cuba's probably covered in the Cold War series, but Cuban Revolution also looks good.
 * History of Haiti is quite thorough

I've added to the outline right now only those I know belong and can place in the current outline. I just wanted to sort some ideas here by region for the purposes of evaluating our potential geographic coverage.

A proposed way to organize this section of the outline would be:


 * Cold War series
 * Decolonization and Consequences
 * Decolonization of Africa
 * Rwandan Genocide series
 * etc.
 * Latin America
 * History of Argentina
 * etc.
 * Asia
 * India, Pakistan and Kashmir
 * others topics that aren't covered by Cold War
 * Information Age/Recent History

The idea behind this organization would be that as much as possible would be grouped thematically to highlight trends and commonalities at the expense of chronological ordering.

Something to consider also how our outline compares to this one--Laura Scudder | Talk 17:46, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
