The Neolithic Revolution was a great improvement for them the made thier way of life way easier and a whole lot better.

The European Union

The European Union started because of the constant deaths and injuries between many European countries it was an alliance made of about 25 European countries. From all the battles and wars from this country population kept dropping and so was it economically. when the European leaders reunited they came up with coming together makeing it a whole one together called European Union.

The countries of the European Union have changed and improved greatly thiermoney and life style situations alot better this idea of the European Union was the greatest idea ever for them.

"The Right Stuff"

The US and USSR were alway on competion like for example who was going to send the first man to space, who could fly the fastest airplane. Lets say when the US accomplished something they weren't able or allowed to tell the media. But as the US was trying to hide there inventions Russia has already send the first man into space before the US could. US was so mad and anxious about it that they wanted to make a space shuttle and send a man to space also. All the space shuttles they had done they would either go up a little bit and come back right down they always had failed. As the competion kept going the USSR was ahead and US was behind like always. The US trained about 7 men and a monkey to see if they could make it possible to go to space.Besides the fact that the USSR arleady had acommplished the space competion the US were not the first to send someone to space they was the first ones to send an animal to space and travel and go around the world with the space ship.

Cuban Missile Crisis

The Cuban Missile Crisis was the only event that had came the closest the world ever came for a nuclear war.The Soviet Commanders were ready to use thier nuclear weapons if the island was invaded.The President John F. Kennedy and Premier Nikita Khrushchev and the bravery was the only reason why that the war did no happen. The Soviet Unions Missile were so powerful that it had could been launched against Europe but the United States missile were powerful of striking the entire Soviet Union. The Crisis for The Untied Stated began on October 15,1952 when a photograph revealed that there was Soviet missiles were under construction and almost ready to be launched in Cuba.In the morning after Kennedy found out about the missiles he right away made an organization called the EX-COMM. This organization is with his twelve most important advisers he ordered to try to handle what was going on.

NATO and The Warsaw Pact

NATO known as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. The first members at the time of the Cold War that were invovled was the United States, the Denmark, Canada, France,United Kingdom , Iceland,Luxembourg , Norway, Portugal, Belgium, Netherlands, and Italy. NATO was created for to provide a defensive alliance against any nations that would attackor try to attack any of the alliance members. It was like a gang of countries that would defend each other in the event that another country had attacked one of them. In a form of indirect retaliation, Russia had created an alliance known as the Warsaw Pact. It consisted of the Soviet Union, Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, and Romania. The Soviets developed the Warsaw Pact in retaliation to the development of NATO.

"Night and Fog"

The movie "Night and Fog" was a film less violent almost the same thing as "Schindler's List" just alot less violent and didn't look like the jews suffered as much as in the film "Schindler's List" had showed that the jews were going through.This film was a more high class Holocaust this film was better then the documentary itself.Both movies were still very good, dramatic and powerful, making the viewer feeling sorry for the Jews and those many people who had their lives taken at the Holocaust.

"Schindler's List"

The "Schindler's list" illustrated the Holocaust in this film by showing the history of the Nazi's took over the Jews in a very cruel way. The scenes that were most powerful was when the Nazi shot the people with guns, usually shots to the head that was very cold hearted . There was one lady at the working they were building something just because the lady was smart and was a jew they killed her becuase she was telling them the correct way to build it.It crazy how you can be a jew sitiing home living wealthy and in 2 secounds get you family killed and your house taken from you.The scene that stays on my mind forever is when they had all those bodies they had killed and was burning them.
