In 1989, over one million pro-democracy protestors occupied Beijing's Tiananmen Square, inspired by economic reforms and movements toward democracy in Eastern Europe. The protestors demanded more political freedom in China. The country's leaders repeatedly asked the protestors to leave, but they remained. In June 1989, the Chinese government forcefully ended the protests by sending tanks and troops to Tiananmen Square, killing many protestors in what became known as the Tiananmen Square Massacre.
Operation Just Cause was a U.S. invasion of Panama that took place from December 20, 1989 to January 31, 1990. The operation had the goals of protecting American lives, restoring democracy in Panama, preserving the Panama Canal treaties, and apprehending Panamanian leader Manuel Noriega. Over 25,000 U.S. troops were deployed against Panamanian forces, resulting in hundreds of Panamanian casualties and the removal of Noriega from power. Noriega surrendered on January 3, 1990 and was sent to the U.S. to face drug trafficking charges.

Despite pledging "no new taxes", he raised taxes which contributed to his loss in the 1992 election to Bill Clinton.
The document summarizes key events of the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 in China. It describes how the death of a former government official sparked student demonstrations for democracy in Beijing. As protests grew, the government condemned them and declared martial law. In early June, troops and tanks moved in to clear Tiananmen Square of protesters, firing randomly into crowds and killing many in the process. Footage showed one man blocking a column of tanks, in an iconic act of defiance later known as "tank man."
The Cold War began after World War 2 and represented the ideological clash between capitalism in the Western Bloc and communism in the Eastern Bloc. This document outlines several key events in the Cold War, including the Berlin Airlift in 1948-1949, the building of the Berlin Wall in 1961 to stop East Germans from fleeing to West Berlin, and the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 which marked the beginning of the end of the Cold War.
The 1989 Tiananmen Square protest in Beijing began as students mourning the death of former leader Mao Zedong demanded more political freedom. When the government refused dialogue, thousands of students began protesting in Tiananmen Square. In early June, the government declared martial law and sent tanks and soldiers to clear the square, killing over 2,600 people. Key student leaders like Wang Dan and Xiao Qiang were arrested or fled the country, while Wuer Kaixi faced criticism for opportunism. The protest marked a pivotal moment in China's political development and a crackdown on dissent.
George W. Bush pursued a conservative domestic agenda after becoming president in 2000, passing tax cuts and education reforms. On September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks dramatically shifted U.S. foreign policy as Bush launched a "war on terror." This included invading Afghanistan to remove the Taliban from power and overthrow al Qaeda, as well as invading Iraq in 2003 over weapons of mass destruction concerns, though none were found. However, the wars contributed to growing budget deficits and divisions within the country.
The document summarizes the decline of communism in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It describes Mikhail Gorbachev's reforms of perestroika and glasnost in the Soviet Union in the 1980s. It also discusses the rise of the Solidarity movement in Poland led by Lech Wałęsa and the non-violent revolutions that swept across Eastern Europe in 1989, ultimately leading to the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.
George H. W. Bush was born in 1924 in Massachusetts. He served in the Navy during World War II and later found success in the oil industry in Texas. Bush married Barbara Pierce in 1945 and they had six children together. He had a long political career, serving as a Congressman, U.S. Ambassador to the UN, CIA Director, and Vice President under Ronald Reagan from 1981 to 1989. Bush then became the 40th President of the United States as a Republican with Dan Quayle as his Vice President.

The document discusses the fall of communism in Eastern Europe in 1989, known as the Revolutions of 1989 or the Autumn of Nations. It led to the overthrow of communist governments and wars as countries like Yugoslavia broke apart along ethnic and religious lines. Figures like Slobodan Milosevic rose to power in Serbia and led violent campaigns of ethnic cleansing against groups like Bosnian Muslims. The events reshaped the geopolitics and economies of the region in the decades that followed.
George W. Bush served as the 43rd President of the United States from 2001 to 2009. He previously worked in the oil industry and served as the 46th Governor of Texas.

The 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre occurred after weeks of student-led demonstrations in Beijing calling for democracy, free speech, and corruption. The Chinese government's decision to use military force against the protesters led to hundreds or thousands of deaths. Key events included Hu Yaobang's death sparking the initial protests, hunger strikes by students, Zhao Ziyang's visit and dismissal, the declaration of martial law, and the military's crackdown on June 3-4. Ultimately, Deng Xiaoping ordered the military action to crush the protest movement and ensure the Communist Party's control was not threatened.
Apartheid was a system of government and segregation in South Africa between 1948 and 1994 that divided the population into four racial groups: Black, White, Coloured, and Asian. The white minority population controlled the country and determined where each racial group could live, go to school, and work. Nelson Mandela led the African National Congress party to victory in South Africa's first free elections in 1994, ending apartheid and white minority rule in the country.
Mikhail Gorbachev's reforms of glasnost and perestroika, as well as economic failures, rising nationalism, and public demand for change, contributed to the fall of European communist regimes in 1989. The opening of the Berlin Wall and revolutions in Eastern bloc countries ended the Soviet Union's control over Eastern Europe. By 1991, nationalist and reformist sentiments led by Boris Yeltsin overwhelmed the Soviet system, culminating in the dissolution of the USSR.
Power point presentation -The History of HIV/AIDSSol Velazquez
The document summarizes the history and origins of HIV/AIDS, beginning with the first reported cases in 1981 among homosexual men in the US. It describes the identification of the virus (HIV) in 1983 and its links to similar viruses found in African primates like chimpanzees (SIV). Theories suggest the virus crossed over to humans through activities like bushmeat hunting and processing or vaccine production in Africa in the early 20th century. By the 1980s HIV/AIDS had spread globally and become a major epidemic affecting millions of people.
Apartheid was a system of racial segregation in South Africa between 1948 and 1994. It was established by the National Party to maintain political and economic power for white South Africans. Apartheid laws separated society and denied non-whites political rights, restricting where they could live, work, and attend school. The African National Congress and leaders like Nelson Mandela fought against apartheid through protests and campaigns. Apartheid officially ended in 1994 when South Africa held its first multiracial democratic elections and Nelson Mandela became the first black president.
NAFTA is a trade agreement between Canada, Mexico, and the United States that aims to eliminate trade barriers and facilitate cross-border movement of goods and services.

2. When I was little, society told me I have two sets of parents...
3. The ones nature provided me to and the ones that I was to provide for.
4. Named Nicolae and Elena Ceausescu, my state-‐
appointed parents were of the firm belief that
we, their subjects, owed them our lives.
Over their 25 year rule, by their order, flavor was, step by
step, removed from our lives
in an effort to ensure our obedience.
Day by day, everything was becoming tasteless...
Insipidly grey.
5. Coffee became a sort of currency
Meat meant 6+ hour lines
Milk, eggs and fruits were a genuine luxury.
8. Yet, despite their deaths and despite our newfound freedom,
our hate and fear of them never went away.
9. Why?
Because, despite the death of our oppressors, we never managed to neutralize them.
Because we need to remember in order to avoid repeating our history.
to move on for the same reason.
