Reconstruction Slideshow Chapter 16
The document summarizes Chapter 16 from the textbook "The American Journey: A History of the United States, Brief Sixth Edition" which covers the period of Reconstruction from 1865 to 1877 after the American Civil War.

However, black Americans faced ongoing struggles with discrimination and efforts to restrict their newfound rights in the post-war South.
The korean war
The Korean War began in 1950 when North Korea invaded South Korea, leading the United Nations to intervene on behalf of South Korea. Fighting escalated over three years as China and the US became involved, and the warfront seesawed back and forth across the 38th parallel dividing line. General MacArthur proposed expanding the war into China but was fired by President Truman for insubordination. An armistice was finally signed in 1953, leaving the division between North and South Korea unchanged.
Usa during the world war ii
During World War 2, the US mobilized its entire economy and workforce for the war effort.

Bill Clinton was elected president in 1992 on a platform of centrist policies that appealed to both liberals and conservatives.

Clinton was reelected in 1996 due to a strong economy but faced impeachment in 1998 over his relationship with Monica Lewinsky, though he was ultimately acquitted.
Ch.12 early years of the cold war
After World War II, the United States and Soviet Union emerged as global superpowers with opposing economic and political ideologies, leading to increased tensions known as the Cold War. As the Cold War escalated, the US fought communist forces in the Korean War and a period of intense anti-communist sentiment grew domestically. Additionally, the development of nuclear weapons heightened fears and the arms race between the US and Soviet Union, posing new challenges for President Eisenhower in confronting communism abroad through brinkmanship and covert operations during the Cold War era.
Richard M. Nixon
Richard Nixon was born in 1913 in California. He had a career in politics before becoming president, including serving as vice president under Eisenhower from 1953-1961. Nixon was elected president in 1968 and re-elected in 1972. However, the Watergate scandal, involving a break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters and Nixon's subsequent cover-up, led to his resignation in 1974, making him the only U.S. president to resign from office. After resigning, Nixon withdrew from public life for some time before traveling, giving advice, and writing about foreign policy and his encounters until his death in 1994.
Ch 21 After Watergate 2010
After Nixon resigned, Gerald Ford became president and sought to restore trust in government. He pardoned Nixon, hoping to help the country move on. In 1976, Ford ran for election but lost to Jimmy Carter, hurt by a weak economy and his pardon of Nixon. Carter achieved the Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt but lost re-election in 1980 as the economy faltered and Iran held American hostages for over a year.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
