Why is the creation of Israel important to the cold war?
A whole host of quote "middle east" wars occurred involving Israel from 1948 up thru 1973. With the last one being the most dangerous...US gas shortage...Israel getting hurt more than it ever did, etc. But Israel was not player in the cold war. The only nations that counted were the US, USSR, Red China, the Korean War, and Vietnam Wars in that order.
The Cuban Missile Crisis involved the USSR.
If a crisis didn't involve the above listed nations, it was simply "part" of world events. The oil (gas) crisis, from the Yom Kipper War of '73 was a logistical crisis...gas prices went from 29 cents a gallon to $1.00 a gallon over night. Even and odd numbered license plates were the norm in America...pushing your "gas hog" IN LINE to the gas pumps caused many US car owners to switch from the full sized gas guzzlers to the Chevy Vega, Ford Pinto, and Toyotas and Datsuns (called Nissons today). Try pushing (by yourself) a full sized pick-up truck up the drive way from the street...the poor drivers waiting in line behind you have to get out of their own vehicles to push you up the drive way from the street. Or they just got mad and honked their horns at you and cussed you out. Big vehicles caused big problems in 1973/74.

What were the Joseph McCarthy trials about?
We're doing the Crucible in English that was written by Arthur Miller as a link to the McCarthy trials. As far as we have researched we have found out that the McCArthy trails were about finding ommmunists in America after the 2nd world wr as the government were worried about being overthrown. McCarthy was unfair in the way he trailed suspects, he gave them two choises, either admit to communism and go to jail or lose all your rights and belongings, or tell them of people you know who are communists. Obviously this did not really work as people lied to get out of jail. But yeah, as far as i know that's what it is. :)

The effects of technology in the Vietnam War?
The Vietnam War was fought with the COLD WAR aircraft, tanks, artillery, and infantry rifles (the M-14), that were developed during the 1950's, which were in turn influenced by the results of the Korean War which just ended in 1953. For example: the M-14 rifle replaced the M-1 rifle which had been used in WWII and Korea. The M-46 Patton tank replaced the M-26 Pershing tank which had been developed at the end of WWII, which together replaced the WWII Sherman tank. Although small numbers of Shermans were used in Korea, the M-46 Patton tank was "the" Korean War tank. The WWII M-1 rifle, along with ALL other WWII infantry weapons were also used in the Korean War. The Korean War F-86 Saber jet fighter, was replaced by the F-100 Supersaber jet fighter which would later fight in the Vietnam War. The M-46 Patton tank of the Korean War, was replaced by the M-48 Patton tank which would later fight in the Vietnam War. For the first time in military history, the common rifleman of the infantry would have a fully automatic weapon. Prior to Vietnam, from WWI (possibly WWII) onward, it was common to have one "fully automatic" man assigned to at least a squad (12 men) or platoon (40 men) level. The "fully automatic" infantryman might be armed with a machingun, or more commonly a BAR (Browning Automatic Rifle). The BAR was invented during WWI, and carried in combat in WWII, Korea, and for a time, Vietnam during the early days. The fully automatic M-14 rifle was used and intended to replace the BAR, but was NOT totally satisfactory. Ultimately the M-16 rifle was used and accepted. This rifle (the M-16) gave full automatic acceptability. Now every infantryman had "rock 'n roll" capability, and the old time tradition of assigning a "fully automatic" man to the squad/platoon was NO LONGER necessary. After Vietnam, the army found out it was wasting ammunition (3,000 rounds used to produce one enemy casualty) so the NEW fully automatic M-16's were converted to shoot only "short bursts" instead of full "rock 'n roll". The helicopter had more than proven it's worth. Because of Vietnam, today nearly early law enforcement agency in America used helicopters for enforcing the law. Nearly every hospital in America utilizes the services of helicopters as medical evacuation aircraft, BORN FROM THE DUST OFF PILOTS from the Vietnam War.
Us invasion at the Bay of Pig in Cuba?
It wasn't Americans, or at least the US Armed Forces. It was CIA-trained Cubans that wanted to take back their country from Fidel Castro. It was disastrous and didn't work.
