Cold War

The Reagan administration used earnings from weapons sales to Iran to illegally fund the contras.

They've had some nice things like kimchi, soju, the turtle ship, the hanbok and Hangeul. These things are influences in the world because now Americans eat kimchi and drink soju. People wear the hanbok on babies first birthdays and people also use Hangul (Korean). That is a few things that Korea has brought to the U.S.

How the Soviet's react to the blockade

The Berlin wall was opened in 1961 and knocked down in 1989. It took about 3 decades until the wall was torn down!!!!!

so...the Berlin wall finally came down at 1991...as in finally...

In 1989 the Berlin wall was destroyed uniting east and west Germany as one.

Through the river in Berlin - swimming. Tunneling under the wall.

Buildings formed part of the wall and some people tried to jump from windows to the western side.

Driving through barriers, risking being shot.

Forged papers. I'm sure there are many other methods, these were the ones that came to mind as I recalled those dreadful years.

Mexico was ruled by the Industrial Revolution Party from the 1920's until 2000. The PRI as it is called is a socialist left party. Until the 1970's the Mexican government had severe restriction on the practice of religion and other party's were not permitted to participate in National elections.

heyyy

west german people because east germans were visiting west germany to often. In fact 2.6 million people from the east were escaping to the west....

Sputnik was connected to the Cold War as a test of technological prowess between the United States and the Soviet Union to show who could be the first to create a man made satellite orbit the Earth.

Better Dead than Red was the slogan of American anti-communists in the 1950's. The British pacifist Betrand Russell favoured the opposite slogan "Better Red than Dead" The "so-called war" would have been the Cold War.

Francis Gary Powers was shot down over Russia -from over 50,000 feet high -in a reconnaissance aircraft that the US denied having -until the Russians provided parts and pilot.

The US claimed that the plane was a weather research aircraft which had strayed into SU airspace, denying that it was a spy plane.

The USSR launched the first artificial satellite, Sputnik 1, into orbit on the 4th of October, 1957.

Joseph McCarthy was a US Senator in the 1950's, and McCarthyism was a political movement that McCarthy created, based upon a paranoid fear of communist subversion.

The Soviet Union no longer provided aid and weapons to African countries

McCarthy was a US Senator from Wisconsin who made a name for himself in the 1950s as a staunch anti-communist. He made numerous unsubstantiated accusations of being communist sympathizers against members of the media and Hollywood.

Francis Gary Powers' U-2 shootdown caused the United States to halt U-2 flights over the Soviet Union.

The superpowers remained "about" the same during the cold war; Soviet Union/Red China verses US/Britain. Due to a common language, the US & Britain have always retained the strongest ties.

cool

mcarthur was the u.s. war general that president Truman requested

he was between 5 ft 5 in and 5 ft 6 in (165-168 cm)
