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.

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.
