Afghan war By Jug and Pun
The Afghan War lasted from 1979 to 1989 between the Soviet-backed Afghan government and anti-communist mujahideen fighters. The Soviets invaded Afghanistan in 1979 to prop up the communist government, seeing it as a way to spread communism further. However, the mujahideen resistance movement grew stronger with support from countries like the US and Pakistan. After 10 years of fighting and over 15,000 Soviet deaths, the Soviets withdrew from Afghanistan in 1989, contributing to the collapse of the Soviet Union. Afghanistan was left devastated and plunged into civil war.
USSR/Afghanistan War
The Soviet-Afghan War began in 1978 when the Soviet Union intervened to support the communist government in Afghanistan against anti-communist mujahideen rebels. The intervention sparked condemnation from Western nations and the US began supporting the mujahideen to resist the Soviets. The war led to over 1 million Afghan deaths and the withdrawal of Soviet troops in 1989, marking the beginning of the end of the Soviet Union. For Afghanistan, it was the beginning of decades of continued conflict.
Korean War
The Korean Peninsula is located in East Asia between the Sea of Japan and the Yellow Sea. The Korean War was fought throughout this land from 1950-1953. The 38th Parallel originally divided North and South Korea, but North Korean forces crossed it on June 25, 1950 to invade the South and start the war. In September 1950, the Battle of Inchon was a major victory for UN forces led by General Douglas MacArthur that recaptured Seoul from the North Korean People's Army. During the war, the US Air Force bombed North Korean railroads and infrastructure to disrupt their logistics, while President Syngman Rhee's South Korean government assassinated around 10,000 to 100,000 suspected communist sympathizers.

The document discusses the history of Soviet involvement in Afghanistan. It notes that the Soviet leader, Leonid Brezhnev, was mentally ill and distrustful of religious nations. The Afghan leader, Babrak Karmal, asked Brezhnev for help expanding Afghanistan and making it part of the Soviet Union. This led to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 in order to install a communist government. However, outside of Kabul Soviet influence was weak as Islamic leaders opposed Soviet attempts to reform Afghan culture.
June 25th Remembering the Korean War
After World War II, Korea was divided along the 38th parallel, with the Soviet Union occupying the north and the United States occupying the south. Tensions rose between the two sides, leading North Korea to launch an invasion of South Korea on June 25, 1950, starting the Korean War. The war lasted three years with heavy fighting and casualties on both sides. An armistice was signed in 1953, though no peace treaty was signed, so the two Koreas remain technically at war. The conflict involved troops and support from 21 countries led by the United States and Britain against North Korean and Chinese forces. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians were killed during the war.
Changing Cold War Relations - afghanistan war
The Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979 to prop up the communist government that came to power after a 1978 revolution. However, many Afghans opposed communist rule and fought back as mujahedeen rebels in a civil war. The Soviet invasion was intended to ensure communist control and give the Soviets access to oil, but they faced guerrilla warfare tactics from the mujahedeen. After 10 years of fighting, the costly and unwinnable war became a disaster for the Soviets similar to the US in Vietnam, and Soviet troops withdrew in 1989.
Korean war
Korea has experienced a long history of domination by other countries. It was occupied by Japan from 1910 to 1945. After World War 2, the country was divided, with the Soviet Union occupying the north and the United States occupying the south. This led to the establishment of two separate Korean states - North Korea and South Korea. In 1950, North Korea invaded South Korea, launching the Korean War. After years of fighting, a ceasefire was agreed in 1953 along the original border between the two Koreas. Today, North Korea remains isolated under a repressive regime led by the Kim family, while South Korea has emerged as a prosperous democracy with a strong alliance with the United States.

Korean War
Korea had been ruled by Japan until 1945 when it was divided along the 38th parallel after Japan's surrender, with the Soviet Union occupying the north and the US occupying the south. This division led to the establishment of authoritarian regimes in both North and South Korea, led by Kim Il-sung and Syngman Rhee respectively, which sought to reunify Korea under their ideology. Border skirmishes increased and nearly 10,000 troops were killed before the 1950 outbreak of the Korean War, when North Korea launched a surprise attack on the South. The UN authorized a force led by the US to defend South Korea.

It also impacted civilians through millions of casualties and economic and political changes in South Korea.
Topic 3 the course of the korean war
The North Koreans initially succeeded in their 1950 invasion of South Korea due to superior numbers, equipment, and combat experience. However, UN forces were able to halt the North Korean advance at the Pusan Perimeter after reinforcements arrived. In September 1950, General MacArthur launched an amphibious invasion at Inchon, cutting off North Korean forces and recapturing Seoul. MacArthur then decided to invade North Korea itself, crossing the 38th parallel, despite warnings this could provoke China to enter the war. In November 1950, massive Chinese forces intervened and launched surprise attacks that routed UN forces back south of the parallel by early 1951.
Soviet afghan war final
The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan from 1979 to 1989 ultimately ended in stalemate, with the Soviets forced to withdraw after heavy losses. The invasion was an attempt to spread communism and create a friendly eastern state, but faced resistance from conservative Muslim Afghans opposed to Marxist rule. Guerilla warfare by Afghan mujahideen fighters weakened the Soviets over time and drove them to withdraw in 1989, though Afghanistan remained unstable. The costly war contributed to the decline and fall of the Soviet Union.

Climates have changed constantly throughout history due to various natural factors such as variations in solar energy, astronomical relationships between the Earth and sun, ocean circulation changes, volcanic eruptions, and shifts in atmospheric composition. Scientists have found extensive evidence of past climate shifts in geological rock and fossil records, tree ring data, historical documents showing elephants in the Sahara and grape vines growing in northern England, and indicators like glacial advances and retreats. While climate is naturally variable, the current changes are accelerated by human emissions altering the carbon cycle.
3, results of the gulf war
The Gulf War resulted in a successful military operation that removed Iraqi forces from Kuwait and restored the Al-Sabah family to power. However, it did little to bring stability to the Middle East. While allied casualties were low, Iraqi casualties were estimated to be between 20,000-200,000 deaths. Iraq's infrastructure and environment suffered extensive damage. The war strengthened US influence in the region but also increased anti-American sentiment in some Muslim communities. It failed to remove Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq.

1, the soviet union and brezhnev
The document discusses the rule of Leonid Brezhnev as leader of the Soviet Union from 1964 to 1982. Some key characteristics of Brezhnev's rule included consolidating power through cult of personality tactics while presenting a more cautious leadership style than his predecessor, Nikita Khrushchev. The Soviet economy stagnated under Brezhnev's policies of maintaining a command economy and central control over industries and agriculture, which led to inefficiencies. Production of consumer goods increased but could not keep up with demand.
5, gorbachev aims
Gorbachev rose to power in 1985 as General Secretary with aims to reform the stagnating Soviet system through policies of perestroika (reconstruction), glasnost (openness), and uskorenie (acceleration). His first major challenge was responding to the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in April 1986, which occurred just one year after he took power and represented the failing Soviet infrastructure he sought to address.
2, 1977 constitution & brezhnev’s foreign policy
The 1977 Soviet Constitution formalized the development of socialism and supremacy of the Communist Party. Brezhnev's foreign policy after 1976 saw the deterioration of détente and arms limitations with the US. The USSR expanded its influence in Africa and Asia, including supporting Ethiopia against Somalia, straining relations with the US and signaling the end of détente.
7, effects of gorbachev poland
The document summarizes the key factors that led to the fall of communism in Poland, including Poland's strong national identity and Catholic traditions, the election of Pope John Paul II, economic struggles that caused widespread strikes in the 1980s, the imposition of martial law in 1981, and Mikhail Gorbachev's policies of glasnost and perestroika in the Soviet Union in the late 1980s that weakened Soviet control over Eastern Europe and allowed free elections to take place in Poland in 1989, leading to the collapse of communist rule there.
Walk For Awareness
The document announces a 5km charity walk on June 23rd organized by the International American School in cooperation with Caritas USA. The walk aims to raise money and awareness for disabled children in the Caritas-run Providence Home in Uganda. The goal is to collect enough money to purchase 5 wheelchairs and 4 tricycles for immobile children at the home, at a total cost of 6,745.60 PLN. Students ages 7th to 12th grade are encouraged to sign up and participate by getting pledges from their social networks. Registration is 30zl per person by June 4th.
Somalia1
The document discusses key concepts related to human migration such as voluntary and involuntary migration, asylum seekers, economic migrants, and internally displaced persons. It asks the reader to watch videos about migration from Somalia and complete a task sheet, and for homework tasks the reader with producing a one page guide to the Somali conflict sourcing pictures from several websites.
Settlements Revision Ii
The document discusses the central business district (CBD) and issues related to urban planning. It notes that the CBD is often in the center of town and has the tallest buildings. It contains department stores, offices, transportation hubs, and government buildings. Traffic congestion is worst in the CBD due to high density. The document also discusses white flight and ethnic segregation in Bradford, UK. It led to the formation of neighborhoods with high concentrations of certain ethnic groups. The phenomenon of counter-urbanization is described as people moving from urban to suburban or rural areas to escape chaos and pollution in cities.
Leeds Case Study
Leeds grew in the 18th century during the Industrial Revolution due to its textile trade, pasture land, soft water, and access to navigable rivers and nearby coal fields. The city center was initially home to trade, poor housing, and industry, but over time commerce and administration became more important and the middle class migrated to suburbs with cleaner air like Chapel Town. Poor workers lived near canals, rivers, and factories in areas like Kirkstall, Burley and Beeston. Suburban expansion led to urban decay in the inner city, reflected by derelict land, vacant lots, and graffiti, caused by a lack of demand for inner city land due to issues like traffic, poor quality buildings,
Acid Rain
Acid rain is formed from both dry and wet deposition of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides emitted from natural sources like volcanoes and human sources like fossil fuel burning, which can travel long distances in clouds. It has negative effects like killing trees by damaging foliage and roots, potentially further impacting the environment, and eroding stone buildings and structures. Many countries in Europe are affected, as shown on a map, with acid rain being a global problem. Controlling acid rain requires limiting the human emissions that contribute to its formation.
El Nino
The document discusses the climatic phenomena known as El Niño and La Niña, explaining that El Niño occurs every 3-4 years around Christmas and lasts 12-18 months, bringing warm waters and desert-like conditions to the Philippines and higher sea levels in Southeast Asia, while La Niña exaggerates normal ocean temperature patterns and increases upwelling off Peru.
Microclimates
This document discusses microclimates, specifically how urban areas, forests, and bodies of water can create microclimates that are distinct from the overall regional climate. Urban areas tend to be warmer due to heat absorption and retention by buildings and paved surfaces, creating urban heat islands. Forests and water surfaces absorb less solar radiation and have more moderated temperatures with higher humidity. The objectives are to understand how construction and natural features can lead to microclimates that differ from the broader climatic region.
London Culture And Life
London has a complex layout due to its growth from small villages and many narrow, pre-motor car roads. The 1666 Fire of London and 1945-1960 reconstruction after World War 2 bombing changed London's central landscape and housing. London is now a global economic and tourist center known for its arts, music, fashion and changing demographics.
Smog
Air pollution causes various human respiratory illnesses as well as plant and building damage. Cities like London, Mexico City, Tehran, Los Angeles, and Beijing have historically suffered from high smog levels. Possible solutions include catalytic converters, vapor recovery systems, renewable energy sources, and limiting access of polluting vehicles.
Climate Change
The document discusses climate change and provides evidence that climates have constantly changed over time. It explains that scientists have various sources of evidence for climatic changes, including rocks, fossil landscapes, tree ring data, historical records, and measurements of glacial advances and retreats. The document also lists some of the potential causes of climatic changes, such as variations in solar energy, astronomical relationships between Earth and the sun, ocean circulation changes, volcanic activity, and changes to the atmosphere's composition.
Urban Dynamics
Urban areas in both less economically developed and more economically developed countries are changing in different ways due to factors like population growth and increased car ownership. Problems in towns that have led to solutions like urban decay, with derelict land and buildings, and traffic congestion from poor infrastructure. Urban renewal aims to regenerate urban areas through gentrification, improving appearances and culture, changing populations, reducing crime, and influencing perceptions through media. Suburbanization, decentralization, and urban sprawl affect regeneration, as do concepts like urban consolidation, counterurbanization, new towns, and preventing urban blight and spatial exclusion.
