The Contras were rebel groups fighting against the Sandinista government in Nicaragua from 1979-1990. They received extensive military support from the U.S. government, which viewed the left-leaning Sandinistas as a threat. Despite vast resources, the Contras struggled to become a viable military force. Covert U.S. backing continued through the Iran-Contra affair. The war ultimately ended in peace negotiations and elections in 1990, though it devastated Nicaragua and killed over 30,000 people.
The document summarizes the Great Migration period and the Harlem Renaissance. During the Great Migration from 1910-1920, over 1.5 million African Americans moved from the rural South to northern cities like New York, Chicago and Detroit, hoping to escape racism and find new opportunities. This influx of African Americans to northern cities led to racial tensions. In New York, Harlem became the cultural capital of African American arts and literature during the 1920s Harlem Renaissance period, which saw a blossoming of black writers, artists, musicians and performers who explored themes of black identity and resistance to prejudice.
Feminism aims to establish equal political, economic, and social rights and opportunities for women. The document traces the history and evolution of feminism through its three waves. The first wave in the 19th-early 20th century focused on women's suffrage and property rights. The second wave from the 1960s-1980s targeted discrimination and social/cultural stereotypes. The ongoing third wave since the 1990s further addresses issues of race, class, sexuality and other intersections of identity. Different types of feminism like liberal, radical, cultural, Marxist, and eco-feminism are also outlined.
Following World War II, tensions rose between the Western allies and the Soviet Union. The Soviets set up communist governments in Eastern Europe and cut off access to West Berlin. In response, the Western allies launched the Berlin Airlift to supply West Berlin by air. Over two years, the airlift delivered over 2 million tons of supplies until the Soviets lifted the blockade. The blockade increased tensions and led to the formation of NATO and the Warsaw Pact, cementing Europe's division between the communist East and capitalist West during the Cold War.
Marcus Garvey Power Point Presentation-FinalDavonte Logan
This document provides biographical information about Marcus Garvey and discusses his views on black nationalism and pan-Africanism.

He therefore advocated for the creation of a distinct black civilization in Africa, believing this was the only hope for black people's redemption. The document also examines Garvey's childhood in Jamaica and his decision to openly defend and help improve the black race, despite risks to his own prosperity.
The Ford Model T was introduced in 1908 and was the first affordable, mass produced car. Over 15 million Model Ts were sold between 1908-1927. It had a 20 horsepower engine, top speed of 45 mph, and cost as little as $260 due to Henry Ford's moving assembly line production process. The Model T came in various body styles and was versatile, being used for farming, hauling, and adapted for other tasks like sawing wood. It was a very popular and iconic car that helped drive the growth of the American automotive industry in the early 20th century.
The Vietnam War lasted over 25 years starting in the 1950s when the United States began sending troops to Vietnam to fight against the spread of communism. Over the course of the war, almost 3 million US troops were deployed and it is estimated that over 2.5 million people were killed in total between both sides. While the US was worried about tensions caused by the war and cultural differences with Vietnam, their involvement eventually led to many internal conflicts in the US and widespread corruption in South Vietnam. The war ended in 1973 with a peace agreement and the withdrawal of US troops, and South Vietnam surrendered to the North in 1975 resulting in a reunified Vietnam.

The Korean War ended in 1953 with an armistice and division of Korea along the 38th parallel, but the conflict demonstrated that the US and USSR were willing to engage in direct military confrontation to influence events.
Gender bias refers to prejudice or unfair treatment based on gender, which often stems from personal values, perceptions, and outdated views of men and women. A survey found that 48% of Indians have faced discrimination at work, most commonly due to gender, age, or caste/religion. Gender discrimination in the workplace can include unequal pay, diminished responsibilities, glass ceilings, sexual harassment, and lack of support for pregnancy. It leads to increased employee turnover, a hostile work environment, and decreased performance and productivity.
The document summarizes key events and movements during the 1960s civil rights era in the United States. It describes the emergence of civil rights protests like sit-ins and freedom rides to challenge segregation laws. Major events included the integration of the University of Mississippi leading to violence, and Martin Luther King Jr.'s leadership of protests in Birmingham that were met with police brutality.

Colonialism refers to the political and economic dominance exercised by capitalist European states and other powers like the United States and Japan over Africa, Oceania, Asia, and North America between the mid-19th century and mid-20th century. The major European colonial powers were Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Holland, Spain, and Portugal. Colonialism was driven by factors like industrialization and overproduction in Europe, high population growth, strategic and ideological motivations to expand national power, and notions of racial and cultural superiority. Colonies were established through conquest and fell into categories like settler colonies, trading companies that exploited resources, and protectorates with nominal native rule.
Manifest Destiny promoted the belief that American settlers were destined to expand across North America from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast. It was not an official policy but was heavily promoted in the 1840s. The concept was driven by a belief that America was "chosen" by God to establish democracy and civilization, and was fueled by the Louisiana Purchase, increasing population, and desire for more land and political power. Manifest Destiny helped drive America's expansionism and was a factor leading to the Mexican-American War and annexation of Texas, the Southwest, and California.
Before European contact, native populations across North America developed diverse social, political, and economic structures adapted to their environments. Some groups, like the Maya, Aztecs, and Incas, formed large empires with advanced agricultural systems, while others like those in North America lived in smaller, nomadic societies relying on hunting and gathering. Beginning in the 15th century, Europeans began exploring and colonizing, seeking wealth, trade, and empire. Spain claimed much of North and South America and forced native populations into oppressive systems like encomiendas, dramatically reducing their numbers through violence and disease. Debates emerged around how to classify and treat indigenous peoples.
The document discusses the origins and outbreak of the Cold War between the United States and Soviet Union following World War II. Ideological differences and tensions that arose from competing visions of democracy and communism led to distrust between the former allies. As wartime cooperation broke down, the division of Europe and tensions over issues like reparations for Germany exacerbated hostility and marked the beginning of the Cold War era.

West African empires like Mali and Songhai grew wealthy through trans-Saharan trade routes between North Africa and sub-Saharan Africa from 1050 to 1500. Camels and the invention of the camel saddle enabled traders to carry goods like gold, salt, and ivory across the vast Sahara Desert, connecting Mediterranean ports to southern African markets. Salt from the Sahara was especially valuable and was often traded for gold and other goods, fueling the rise of powerful empires in West Africa through taxing trade along these routes.
Africa has a diverse climate, with over 50% experiencing inadequate precipitation. The longest river in the world, the Nile, provides water for 95% of Egyptians and is formed from its two main tributaries, the White Nile and Blue Nile. Rift valleys formed as the eastern part of Africa pulled away from the rest of the continent. Mount Kilimanjaro is Africa's highest peak at over 4,600 meters. Coffee is Africa's second most profitable commodity after oil, with Ethiopia being its largest producer. The Sahara Desert is the largest desert in the world, and the Niger Delta in Nigeria is an oil-rich region that has faced environmental damage.

Camels and the invention of the camel saddle enabled traders to carry goods like gold, salt, and other resources across the vast Sahara Desert, connecting Mediterranean ports to southern African markets. Salt deposits in the desert were highly valuable, as salt was a precious and scarce commodity south of the Sahara, and traders could exchange salt for gold and other goods. This lucrative salt trade helped ancient empires like Mali and Ghana rise to power by taxing goods along the routes.
Alcohol abuse can lead to several serious health conditions:
1) Cirrhosis of the liver occurs as fat deposits and scar tissue distort and constrict the liver.
2) Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas that can cause severe abdominal pain and shock.
3) Jaundice results when the damaged liver allows bile to enter the bloodstream.
4) Alcoholic pleuritis is inflammation of the lungs that causes severe chest pain.
5) Cerebral atrophy involves the shriveling of brain cells.
