Assignment 3: US-Iran Relations Timeline

For this assignment, we chose to focus on the US-Iran relationship over time. Using the descriptions of the timeline events, we determined whether each event had a negative, neutral, or positive effect on the relationship.

For events that had a negative/souring effect on the US-Iran relationship, we gave it a numerical value of -1.

After manually inserting these values to each event, we converted the data to a Json file that we then used to make our visualization. This visualization shows how the US-Iran relationship bettered or worsened over time. It also gives a brief overview of how many events had negative, neutral, and positive effects on the US-Iran relationship
