Mikhail Gorbachev and the end of Communism

GLASNOST- Is when people talk about what they like and dislike about soviet union and the econmic issuses.

PERISTROKIA- Is something to remake the soviet union.


Mikhail opened up the soviet union by letting them have more freedom allowing churches to reopen allowen people to read books that they use to can never read . people were allowed to open there own bussiness and vote for the country canidate. You were also allowed to speak your mind alot then you use to when communism was around . Everybody loved Mikhail he gave them so much freedom and it was easier for them to live and not have to walk around scared everyday.

Collapse of Communism

Communism collapse because people was not allowed to cross the border from communist East Germany to Democratic West Germany. Also the soviet union sepertae into fifteen different Repuiblican and Communism had low paying jobs. When Communist fell there was less for a need of a concern about nuclear annhilation. This caused so much fustration that people tared down the berlin wall because the wall was blocking them from crossing including doctors and scientist and those who tried were shot. At least 100 peopl were shot trying to go over the berlin wall. Finally on November 9, 1989 the wall came down after 28 years the East and the West could finally form new diplomatic relations. The collapse of the soviet union changed the world because the people can go where they please now and not have to worry that if they cross the boarder that they are going to get shot. Its like they gained freedom when soviet lost its control.

Creation of Isreal

Zionism- is a movement is a system that is retablishing a jewish home land in palastein.

When Isreal was created alot of conflict of religion because some people say that god says that people should leave there home and move to new land. But then some people didnt belive in go so they didnt want to leave so that cause alot of conflict in Isreal. the palestiens and Ireals did not get along because the jews were moving in to the palestiens home land. And the palestiens had a different religion that the jews so they didnt want them there.

Nelson Mandela and Apartheid

In my definition of Apartheid is to seperate the race like black& white.The blacks and the white were not allowed to share the same bathroom water fountain. And i think thats what they call Aparthied the seperate of race.Nelson Mandela is a hero because he fought for unity and liberation. Nelson mandela was the first black president in africa in 1950 he played a role in a non-violent campagin to undermine apartheid thats why the blacks loved him so much . He was the first black man to stand up to what is right. The publishers love Nelson Mandela so much because he also made us blacks be free and have rights just like Martin Luther King.

African Independence

Africa changed so much in 20 years because in 1955 there were more colonies in africa then independent countries. And in 1975 there were more independent countries then colonies in africa. For that reason i think Africa changed is because the leader changed in 1975. In Arica there were many leaders like leopold Sengal later became the first president off Senegal. Another leader was Kwame Nkrumah he was a leader of a non violent protest of people wanting freedom. A leader named patrice lumumba who wanted to divide the land .There was another leader named Mosie Tshombe.

9th Gade Review Neolitic Revolution

Neolitic Revolution was a major turning point in history. there was new technology and better tools so they can live better.

The Eurpean Union

The Eurpean Union is what made the travelers that visted Europe easier to travel because before thay had thay conference with the US who ever traveld to Europe had to stop at something like a check point and check ther ID and passport. They use to do that here to in the US but since Europe is part of the US now they can just travel.

FILM LESSON-"The Right Stuff"

the U.S. & the USSR were competing because the US turned capitalist and the USSR was communist. This war reminded me of the cold war because just like the cold war they were fighting over nuclear weapons.The sence that helped me remebered the cold war was when they was building weapons.

Cuban Missile Crisis

The cuban missile crisis was a big thing because it was the closest the world ever came to a nuclear war. President John F.Kennedy offered to impose a quartaine around cuba. This war was hot becuase it wasnt like the cold war it was the hot war because a cold war is when they only talk but dont fight. The hot war is when they did fight.

Film lesson: night and fog

the film night and fog was alot powerful then the other one we saw because in this film we saw real footage about dead people and we saw dead people heads on the floor. The film shindlers list is like the same thing as night and fog but they dont show that madny scence like they did in night and fog becasue it wasnt real footage. The holly wood version was better because it was in englisha dnyou really got to pay attention to the movie instead of having to read the word and they still show they same thing as night and fog.

Film lesson: Schindler's List

The thing that most stuck to me in the movie is when they had to kill all the kids because in order to get rid of there rreligion they had to kill the kids so thy couldnt have no moe babies. Also they took everybody to the ghetto to kill all of them becausthey thought that they would like that but they didnt so they send them to a camp in Auschwitiz to kill all the one that couldnt work like the old and sick.

The U.S. atomic bombing of japan in 1945

I do think that the atomic bomb was the # 1 topic in the century because they bomb had took millions of lives that year and you can never get that back. Also why i think it was the # 1 topic was because nobody expected the bomb to come at all and that was the first eva built and that they used thaat year.


I think the world wide epidemic that killed 20 millions people should have came before the televison debute in america because it seems like people cared about the televison in american more than millions of people dying over the flu that is contagious that anybody could of got

Germany at war -WWII

The poster is saying that the nazi is punching out Goring Luftwaffe which the nazi is trying to say that they do not like the him. The poster is saying that german had destroyed great britian.
The poster is an anti-bolshevik the symbols stand for that they are saying that they are turning there attention to the east threating a knock out blow for stalin and the sovien union.


Propaganda: A deliberate spreading of such information,rumors

"Gandhi"

Gandhi helped india gained great power from telling them to boycott all of the britsh good and try to buy only things from india and also to make your own clothes he also said that if the guards was to hit you you should take the pain and not hit them back because to wrongs dont make a right he tought them not to be passive resistance. I think that if Gandhi would have not stood up for him self that india would of still be under the britsh control i think that gandhi boost up india self esteem.

The Treaty of Versailles

The treaty of versailles effected germany because the was saying that germany was responsible for the war and that they have to pay for all the damages. All geermany overseas colonies were taken away and shred between the allies and a massive 12.5% of the german population found itself living outside the german boarder. It also cause lose of status amd military power. People say that the rise of hitler was caused by the fall of germany because due to the lose of the war germany had no military and had nothing to argu for there for hitler found ot that this country was weak and whent and told all the people they lost the war due to the government.he also said that there government had stabed them in the back and wanted them to make him the new governor.

Mustafa Kemal's speeches to the Turkish people

Mustafa was trying to tell them not to wear the hat because he wanted them all to look the same to wear the suits wit the hats with the brim on the inside. He thought by changing the people style that he would make the country more organized and to give then a new sense of dignity.
