The invasion of Afghanistan by Soviet troops-------> NovaNet

It was during Jimmy Carter's term as president that both the presidents of Egypt and Israel sat and came to terms for the first time in history. (the Camp David Accords)

It was unfortunately also when the Iranian Revolution toppled the Shah and imprisoned 52 US diplomatic personnel in Tehran (released January 21, 1981). It also included the start of the Iraq-Iran War.

Earlier in Carter's term, the invasion of Afghanistan by the Soviet Union (December, 1979) led to a boycott of the 1980 Moscow Olympics by US athletes and those of other countries.

The US was not at war. The Soviets were fighting in Afghanistan.

Iranian militants took some 60 American hostages from the US embassy in Tehran and made a number of demands. Carter authorized a small scale military operation to try to rescue them but it failed rather spectacularly. Later war broke out between Iran and Iraq .

John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson were both very different men, but they were similar in some ways. Obviously, they both ran as president of the United States. They both ran in the same political party of democrats. Johnson a Texas democrat and Kennedy from Massachusetts. They both exelled in debates too. Johnson was deeply into debate through highschool and college and took part in regional debate competitions. Kennedy's debating, which was the first presidential debates aired on television, was a major of the reason he beat Nixon in the election. Of course people who listened on the radio said that Nixon would have won, which leads to the fact that some of Kennedy's votes were from how he appeared on the debate showing.

By giving the Panama Canal back to Panama, the Soviets could have easily used Cuba to conquer and sieze the canal. If the Soviets had control over the canal then they could set up bombing bases in the Pacfic without any conflit of passage.
