"The Right Stuff"-- How the Future began

The US and USSR competed a lot like who would send the first man to space, who could fly the fastest airplane. Whenever the US accomplished something they weren't allowed to tell the media. But as the US was trying to hide there accomplishments Russia has already send the first man into space. US was so frustrated about it that they wanted to make a space shuttle and send a man to space to. All the space shuttles they did would either go up a little bit and come back right down. As the competion kept going the USSR was ahead and US was behind. US trained around 7 men and a monkey to see if they had what it took to go to space. Even though US were not the first to send someone to space they were the first to send a monkey. US were also the first to go around the world with the space shuttle.

Cuban Missile Crisis

The Cuban Missile Crisis was the closest the world ever came for a nuclear war. The Soviet Commanders were prepared to use battlefield nuclear weapons if the island was invaded. President John F. Kennedy and Premier Nikita Khrushchev and the bravery was the reason that the war did no happen. The Soviet Unions Missile were powerful enough to be launched against Europe but the United States missile were powerful of striking the entire Soviet Union. The Crisis for The Untied Stated began on October 15,1952 when a photograph revealed that there was Soviet missiles were under construction in Cuba. The next morning after Kennedy found out about the missiles he made an organization called the EX-COMM. This group is with his twelve most important advisers to handle what was going on.

NATO and The Warsaw Pact

The NATO was an organization that included the countries Europe and North America. The reason for this was that the countries involved wanted mutual defense alliance, where the countries fight for each other like if one country gets attacked the NATO would join in. An also since The western European nation was not very good economically at the end of WWII, this agreement would help them economically under the Marshall Plan. The Warsaw Pact included mostly of the Soviet Union and its satellite countries. The Pact was suppose to be like the North America alliance but the Soviet Union dominant the alliance. The program was undertaken by Nikita Khrushchev and Nikolay Bulganin.

Film Lesson: "Night and Fog"

My reaction towards the movie is that its so horrible how the missed treated the Jews. I think the scenes for this movie were so much powerful then the ones in then the ones in "Schindler's List" because they actually showed the bodies of the Jews. I think the Documentary because it shows the really people and not the ones that are acting. I do think that "Schindler's List" represents the Holocaust but "Night and
Fog" is the one with the pictures and how the Concentration Camps looked. Night and Fog is so powerful in my opinion because i wasn't able to see the whole thing, it's something that is so horrible that you won't believe happened because it's so evil. To me it was is the one with the pictures and how the Concentration Camps looked. Night and Fog is so powerful in my opinion because i wasn't able to see the whole thing, it's something that is so horrible that you won't believe happened because it's so evil. To me it was much more disturbing to see how they didn't care on who they killed. It showed images of the shower heads, where they slept. They even showed how some feel asleep with there eyes wide open.

Film Lesson: "Schindler's List"

In my opinion the "Schindler's List" did illustrate how the holocaust was because people are crying, innocent little kids hiding, being taken away from their mothers is something really heartbreaking. The scenes that will stay with me are the ones where the little kids run away and try to save them selves. Another scene is the one where a little kid puts a little girl in the "good line" where she won't get killed. Also when they passed the little girl in the red, she hid to stay alive. I got so upset to see how they ended up killing her and then burn her, that's something so evil because she hadn't done anything to them. I really didn't like how they killed a girl for trying to help hilter.

US Atomic Bombing of Japan in 1945

I do agree that the Atomic Bomb should have been the number one news of the century because a lot of people died and also Japan was going to surrender, so I think that they should have not thrown the bomb. I would change the order of number six and seven because i think that the Horrors of Nazi Holocaust was something more important because innocent little kids died and also they had no heart for anyone. The bombing is something that needs to be number one because there is no worst news that could be as bad as killing like kids and innocent adults. I think that number 93. Hitler launches "Kristallnacht," ordering Nazis to commit acts of violence against German Jews. 1938. is something that needs to be higher because it's something heartless.

Germany at War-WWII

Propaganda is when you are promoting information. The anti-Bolshevik motif was the central of the Nazi. That movement has created an environment where Communist, togetherr with Jews had formed a target of the Nazi Propaganda and their violence. The Anti-Bolshevik poster is proclaiming that Germany has destroyed Great Britain. In the poster the symbol represented by that is W.Churchill's grave. And also the metal fist shows how Germany is trying to get attention by the east. So he's threaten a "knock out blow" for Stalin and The Soviet Union.
