Cold War
The Cold War was a state of political and military tension after World War II between powers in the Western Bloc led by the United States and powers in the Eastern Bloc led by the Soviet Union. This conflict arose due to conflicting ideologies of capitalism and communism and threatened global stability for over 50 years. The Vietnam War was a particularly divisive conflict that highlighted cultural misunderstandings, as Americans sought to build order while many Vietnamese saw them as producing garbage.
Cold war sociales
During the Cold War between the US and Soviet Union from 1947-1991, tensions were high though there were no direct attacks. In the 1970s, both sides sought to reduce tensions through a policy of détente or relaxation due to the economic strain of the arms race and risk of nuclear war. This led to treaties like SALT that limited nuclear weapons. However, conflicts continued elsewhere and trust was low, then détente ended as the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan increased tensions again.
A Difficult Past
The document summarizes key events and developments in the Americas during the 19th century. It discusses how gold mining and mass migration transformed the populations of countries in North and South America. It also describes the United States expanding westward which caused conflicts with indigenous peoples and Mexico. The American Civil War erupted over the issue of slavery and ultimately led to its abolition in the US.
19th century americas
The document summarizes key events and struggles in 19th century North and South America. It discusses independence movements, westward expansion causing conflicts between Native Americans and Mexico, and immigration contributing to ethnic diversity in the U.S. It also outlines Canada gradually gaining independence without violence. Additionally, it mentions the Little Ice Age causing millions of deaths through famine and disease and the complex struggles around class, gender and politics in South America during this time period.

Chapter 11 Section 5
The United States entered the War of 1812 at a disadvantage with a weak, unprepared military and few naval ships. While its goal was to conquer Canada, three separate invasions failed. In 1813, the Americans won some battles in Canada. As British troops fought in Canada, they invaded Washington D.C. and burned the city. They then moved to Baltimore but were repulsed. In 1815, British forces invaded New Orleans and were decisively defeated by Andrew Jackson, though the war had already ended due to slow communications. The Treaty of Ghent ended the war without territorial changes but the young nation gained new respect.
War of the world
The document summarizes several major 20th century conflicts and their impacts. It discusses World War 1 which was sparked by the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and resulted in military and political defeat for Germany, Russia, Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman Empires. It also covers the Korean War between North and South Korea after the division of Korea by allies, and the Cold War primarily fought between the US and Soviet Union characterized by conflicts like the Cuban Missile Crisis until the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991. Finally, it notes China's recent economic rise and growing influence.
Cold war
The Cold War had several far-reaching implications on international affairs. It increased world tension through an arms race and military alliances between capitalist and communist countries. It also rendered the UN ineffective as the two superpowers opposed each other's actions during crises like the Korean War and Cuban Missile Crisis. The Cold War led to the formation of a non-aligned Third World as countries wanted to stay neutral. It created a barrier to world progress by diverting resources to arms production instead of improving living standards. It divided the world and disrupted global peace.

Goal 1 The War of 1812
The War of 1812 was fought between the United States and Britain from 1812-1814. Tensions were rising between the two countries due to British trade restrictions and impressment of American sailors. While the US attempted to use economic embargoes to gain leverage, this hurt the American economy. The war resulted in some American victories like the Battle of New Orleans but the Treaty of Ghent ultimately resolved tensions without major territorial changes. The war boosted American nationalism and prestige but hurt the Federalist Party due to their opposition.
Cold war
The document summarizes the emergence of the Cold War between the United States and Soviet Union following World War II. Key events included the establishment of opposing political/economic systems in their countries, tensions over influence in Europe and Asia, an arms race including nuclear weapons, and conflicts/crises in areas like Korea, Hungary, and the Middle East that demonstrated the global ideological struggle between capitalism and communism. Covert actions and espionage by both sides intensified the rivalry and distrust between the two superpowers.
Comparative History
The document discusses the Great Depression and World War II over five parts. It describes how the Great Depression started on Black Tuesday in 1929 and devastated the global economy. Both Roosevelt and Hitler rose to power in 1933 in response to the economic crisis, and instituted similar policies like the New Deal and Nazi labor programs. World War II began in the 1930s as Germany expanded territorially under Hitler. The US initially remained neutral but entered the war after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. The war was characterized by racism, especially between Americans and Japanese, who viewed each other with contempt.
Americas 19th Century
The document summarizes major events and developments in the Americas during the 19th century. Several key points:
1) Many countries in the western hemisphere gained independence from European powers, while the United States expanded significantly in size through western expansion and the Mexican-American War.
2) Industrialization increased in the northern U.S. while the southern economy remained agricultural and relied on slavery, exacerbating tensions between the north and south that led to the Civil War.
3) Western expansion was characterized by migration to the frontier for land and resources, increasing ethnic diversity across the population.
WW I Turning Points
The document discusses several key events and reasons for US involvement in World War 1. It begins by summarizing the Russian Revolution in 1917 and its impacts, including removing Russia from the war as a second front against Germany. It then discusses the initial US stance of neutrality despite divided public opinions. Several reasons led to the US declaring war in April 1917, including German submarine warfare like the sinking of the Lusitania, the Zimmerman Telegram, growing US financial support to allies, and a desire for the US to assert its growing power and promote democracy. The document provides context around US propaganda efforts and impacts after entering the war.
detente as internatinal
Smit Shah's topic discusses the concept and development of détente. Détente refers to relaxing tensions and was an approach between the US and Soviet Union from 1945-1953. Key events that led to détente included the Cuban Missile Crisis that highlighted the fear of nuclear war. Both the US and Soviet Union also had economic reasons for pursuing cooperation - the US was defeated in Vietnam while the Soviet Union wanted to improve its economy. This led to improved relations and cooperation through agreements like the Helsinki Accords in 1975 and the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty in 1963. However, détente ended when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979.
Antietam
The Battle of Antietam, also known as the Battle of Sharpsburg, took place on September 17, 1862 near Sharpsburg, Maryland. It pitted the Union Army led by General George B. McClellan against the Confederate Army led by General Robert E. Lee in the bloodiest single day battle of the American Civil War. Over 23,000 soldiers were killed, wounded, or captured in the 12-hour battle, which ended inconclusively with heavy casualties on both sides. Despite failing to defeat Lee's army, the Union victory halted Lee's invasion of the North and allowed President Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation, declaring all slaves in Confederate states free.
A difficult past
The 19th century was a time of immense change in North and South America. In the US, the gold rush spurred westward expansion and immigration, displacing native peoples. Canada gained independence gradually through negotiations. The 'Little Ice Age' impacted weather patterns in Europe between 1645-1850. Jefferson's Louisiana Purchase expanded US territory and influence. Explorers like Prince Alexander and Karl Bodmer documented native cultures of the expanding American frontier. The US Civil War was fought over the issues of states' rights and slavery, with the North eventually achieving victory under Lincoln, leading to the Emancipation Proclamation.
A.p. u.s. ch 6 p.p
The document summarizes the key events in the struggle for control of North America between France, Britain, and Spain from the late 17th century to the 1760s. It describes France establishing settlements in Canada led by Samuel de Champlain, the fur trade that developed, and the four intertwined European and colonial wars that resulted in Britain gaining control of most of France's North American territories by the Treaty of Paris in 1763. However, tensions grew as colonists increasingly settled west of the Appalachians against British wishes.
Coldwarbegins
The document discusses the origins of the Cold War between 1945-1948, focusing on the breakdown of the wartime alliance between the US and USSR. It highlights the importance of the Yalta and Potsdam conferences in 1945 in discussing post-war arrangements as tensions emerged between the two new superpowers over the future of liberated countries in Eastern Europe and their differing economic ideologies of capitalism versus communism.

The document discusses the political changes that occurred in the United States following the Era of Good Feelings. New political parties formed as opposition became more accepted. Candidates used new campaign methods like parades and barbecues to appeal to voters. Voter turnout doubled between 1824 and 1828 as people became more engaged in the political process. The elections of the 1820s and 1830s were characterized by the rise of Jacksonian democracy and the development of the two-party system between the Democrats and Whigs.
Crossroads%20 Of%20 Freedom
This document provides an overview of key events and battles in the American Civil War in 1862. It discusses Confederate general Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson diverting Union reinforcements in the Shenandoah Valley, the failed Union attempts to take Vicksburg, and the bloody but inconclusive Battle of Antietam which halted Robert E. Lee's invasion of Maryland but badly depleted his Army of Northern Virginia.
A.p. ch 20 p.p
The document discusses several key events and issues surrounding the American Civil War:
1) Lincoln was faced with an ominous choice regarding how to respond to the secession of South Carolina and other southern states taking control of federal forts and property. He ultimately refused the southern demand to surrender Fort Sumter.
2) The southern attack on Fort Sumter was ultimately a positive for the North and Lincoln, as it rallied support for the Union cause.
3) The Border States of Kentucky, Missouri, Maryland, and Delaware were crucial because their allegiance could have tipped the war strongly in the South's favor if they had seceded.
4) Railroads and telegraph networks gave the North a
jr thesis war of 1812
The document summarizes key events and outcomes of the War of 1812. It discusses the causes of the war, including British impressment of American sailors and desire for western expansion. It then outlines economic troubles in the U.S. at the time and mentions important figures. Finally, it states that although the U.S. did not conquer Canada, the war resulted in ending impressment and British ties with Native Americans, allowing for western expansion, which set the foundation for America's future.
McClellan, Lee, and the War in the West
Lecture/presentation that explores the appointment of George McClellan to lead the Union army, the Battle of Shiloh in the west, and a new type of naval warfare.
The american revolution ap
The American Revolution between 1775-1783 saw the colonies struggle to win independence from Britain through war while also working to establish stable state and national governments. It involved both a military conflict with Great Britain as well as an internal political struggle. Key events and figures included the Declaration of Independence in 1776, victories at Trenton and Princeton helping shift momentum, and General Nathaniel Greene's leadership in the South helping draw the British into a prolonged war of attrition and eventually leading to their decisive defeat at Yorktown in 1781, culminating in American independence.
Great gatsby
The document provides context about F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby by discussing the Roaring 1920s setting. After World War I ended in 1918, the US economy boomed as soldiers returned home with money and industrialization made consumer goods widely available, throwing America into a period of materialism known as the Roaring 1920s that helps explain the setting and times of The Great Gatsby.
The War Moves North
Lecture/presentation that explores the battles of Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville as well as the fighting over the three-day Battle of Gettysburg and its deadly aftermath.
Cold War 1st Period Guyer
The Cold War was a geopolitical conflict between the United States and Soviet Union that began after World War 2 and ended in 1991 with the collapse of the Soviet Union. Though no direct military battles occurred between the two superpowers, they engaged in espionage, propaganda, arms buildups, and proxy wars around the world. Key events included the Berlin Airlift, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the arms race that financially drained the Soviet economy. The Cold War ended as communism fell in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union collapsed under its own economic troubles.

Worldwide Conflict
The defining structural characteristic of the
latter half of the twentieth century was the
conflict between the two “superpowers” that
emerged at the end of World War II. After
thirty years of war and its consequences in
Europe, Germany’s and Italy’s military ca-
pacities were almost completely destroyed
and Great Britain’s and France’s had been
greatly diminished. What was left of Japan’s
military was being dismantled by the United
States during the Occupation, and China
was engaged in an intermittent civil war
from April 1927 through May 1950. By
1945, only the United States and USSR were
capable of fielding effective military ma-
chines, and the United States was clearly
leading in terms of military technology, proven by its use of the atomic bombs in Japan. The mil-
itary alliance these two countries forged to defeat fascism in World War ...

Worldwide Conflict
The defining structural characteristic of the
latter half of the twentieth century was the
conflict between the two “superpowers” that
emerged at the end of World War II. After
thirty years of war and its consequences in
Europe, Germany’s and Italy’s military ca-
pacities were almost completely destroyed
and Great Britain’s and France’s had been
greatly diminished. What was left of Japan’s
military was being dismantled by the United
States during the Occupation, and China
was engaged in an intermittent civil war
from April 1927 through May 1950. By
1945, only the United States and USSR were
capable of fielding effective military ma-
chines, and the United States was clearly
leading in terms of military technology, proven by its use of the atomic bombs in Japan. The mil-

Cold war
The Cold War lasted from around 1953 to 1991, with periods of increased tensions. It involved conflicts across Europe, South America, Asia, and other parts of the world between communist nations led by the Soviet Union and democratic nations led by the United States. Key figures on both sides, such as Kennedy and Khrushchev, played important roles. Over its course, major events occurred such as the Space Race and fall of the Berlin Wall. The Cold War ultimately ended due to relaxed tensions between the US and Soviet Union and the latter's economic weaknesses.
Cold war
The Cold War was a period of political and military tension between the United States and Soviet Union from 1945 to 1991. After World War II, the two nations emerged as superpowers with opposing economic and political ideologies - capitalism vs communism. This ideological conflict resulted in a war of ideas as well as proxy wars and an arms race as each nation attempted to limit the influence and power of the other. Key events of tension included the Soviet control of Eastern Europe, the Berlin Blockade, the division and conflicts in Korea and Vietnam, and the Cuban Missile Crisis which brought the two sides closest to nuclear war. Underlying the Cold War was mutual distrust and resentment between the US and USSR that grew from their wartime alliance and post-war

Cold War
- 1. Cold War By: Juliana. Munguia Rafael Pisano
- 2. Theme 1: Why The Cold War? Instead of peace, the end of World War 2 brought a different kind of war, one that erupted into military conflict only sporadically bit loomed over the earth's people for merely 50 yrs, threatening their very survival. * The Cold War was a presumably mortal antagonism, arising in the wake of the Second World War, between two rigidly hostile blocs, one led by the Soviet Union, the other by the United States.
- 3. Theme 2: The Vietnam War as a Clash Cultures The Vietnam War proved more politically divisive than any foreign war in the nation’s history. For the Americans in Vietnam it would be difficult to make this leap of perspective, difficult to understand that while they saw themselves as building world order, many Vietnamese saw them merely as the producers of garbage from which they could build houses.
