African Independence

African had a big change in that 20 years period of time, from 1955 to 1975. That big changed was mainly because most of the African countries werent independent and needed help or control by other colonies. During that 20 year period many leaders helped establish independent african countries, those leader are Kwame Nkrumah, joseph Mobutu and others. Those guys really helped make a new Africa. In the year 1975 there was still a few countries dependent on others, but most of them were now independent.

9th grade review, Neolithic Revolution

The Neolithic Revolution was the change of humans from being nomadics to being settled and agriculturals. Back then Nomadics were people who didnt stay in one place, they would migrate to different locations in search of food. Later on the people started thinking more of production and settlement. The people started being more agricultural, producing their own goods for food, and such. Thats when the people instead of killing the animals to eat, started breeding them and taking care of them so they can have food right there near them. This change was very important to us. Because we still do agriculture and this systems comes from a long time ago. If it wasnt for them doing this drastic change we would probably be still moving around for food or maybe even extincted the human race with todays population.

Cuban Missile Crisis

Well the Cuban Missile Crisis was basically the plan of Missiles in Cuba. It was considered "the hottest moment in the Cold War" because it was the closest the world ever came on entering a Nuclear War that would make a big mess in the world. President FJK heard about the Missiles instalations in Cuban and send Ships to prevent more of incoming. He also tried to come in agreement with Cuba, Turkey and Soviet Union to try and stop the Nuclear war from starting. Everybody was ready and armed for it. JFK also said that any missile launched from Cuba would be considered as an attack from the Soviet Union itself since its missiles were from there, and demanded that the Soviet Union removed its weapons from Cuba. United states had weapons to bomb the Soviet Union in one attack. They later on accepted the agreement but also wanted a guarantee that USA wouldnt invade Cuba. They also wanted USA missiles removed from Turkey in exchange. Tensions began to ease on the 28th of oct when Khrushchev said he would disarm its missiles in Cuba and return it to the Soviet Union in trust that USA wasnt going to invade Cuba.

Nato and The Warsaw Pact

Nato was the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. NATO is an organization with European countries and North American countries. Nato was basically created to build a defense for those countries involved. In case of an attack on any of the countries involved, the other countries within this organization would come to help them. The agreement wasnt just for the aid of those countries in war. It also helped Europe economically. The Warsaw Pact was Soviet Union and its satellite countries. It was similar to the Atlantic organization and was also created in a response to them.

US Atomic Bombing Of Japan In 1945

Well the atomic bomb that was droped in Japan was a terrible thing to do in my opinion. Way too many innocent people were killed and injured, also the babies born after the bombing had birth defects because of the raditation. To me that was unecessary but in a way it solved something. It ended WW2 which was also a big issue going on the ENTIRE world. So i guess it wasnt a total waste of humanity on the bombing. Yes I do think that the bombing should have been the news of the century because it was radical, there was a lot of people dead and it ended a bigger thing going on around. On top of that it was ended with a mass destruction weapon which had never been used before. So i do think it should have been news of the century. I wouldnt make any changes because i think they did a good job in keeping the top 100 news up there.

Film Lesson: "Night and Fog"

Okay, This one was very exposed to us, they didnt really hide any of the stuff from the viewers. Most of the movies made about the Holocaust showed that a massacre happened but didnt really show the process or the dumping of mass bodies which was really sad. The movie was very strong and made me angry at the germans that did that, but it didnt make me go all depressive and stuff. The dumping of skulls was kind of harsh too, many many people died in vain there and that should be remembered forever so it never happens again. The documentary showed way more stuff than the hollywood movie, it showed us real dead bodies being dragged and dumped into that mass grave, which showed us how bad and how they didnt cared about the jews.

Film Lesson:"Schindler 's List"

Well the movie Schindler's List was pretty cool because it showed us a little bit about the cruel stuff the germans did to the jews, but they didnt really take us through the rough part. I think a powerful scene was when the kids were being taken away from their mom or dad, and some of them were hiding under the toilet. That is also the scene I think that will stay with me for a long time, maybe not forever but for a long time. What was also cruel was the afterwards of the doctor check up, if they found people weak in health they would send them to camps of only people that were weak and eventually be killed, usually from the fake shower that filled the room of poisonous gas. My opinion those things should have never happened and I hope people learned from it.

The Treaty Of Versailles (ended WWI)

The Treaty Of Versailles really affected Germany. Because since Germany basically started the war and eventually lost, they were blamed for all the bad things that happened during the WWI. Germany lost lots of territory and had to pay a lot of money for most of the demage that the war caused. Germany wasn't very stable after the war since they lost AND were blamed for it AND had to repair most of the bad things that happened which drained Germany even more. Along came Adolf Hitler. Hitler was just a normal soldier...but a very smart and cruel guy, he saw that Germany and the world was in a very bad state (Great Depression) and introduced himself to the weakminded germans that desperately wanted a leader. Hitler announced to the people that the Treaty was unfair to the germans and said that he would changed that for the better of Germany. Since the people was depressed and desparate for a strong leader, Hitler seemed like the right guy to take that position. He then lead to the great massacre of his.

Mustafa Kemal(Ataturk) and the Modernization of Turkey

Mustafa Kemal helped Turkey in many ways. He let turkey to a full independent country. He won many battles and crushed any invader in the country. He also ended the Ottoman Dynasty which had lasted already for 6 centuries! He created the Republic or Turkey in 1923. He changed some cultures, the Fez for an example.... He didn't want people to use the fez because it represented bad things. He changed it to a hat more like a western hat, and he clearly stated that it was called a hat and nothing else. He was a president for 15 years. He died in 1938.
