The presidency of barack obama
The document summarizes key events from Barack Obama's two terms as president from 2008 to 2016. In his first term, Obama took office during the Great Recession and approved bailouts that saved jobs but increased the national debt. He passed the Affordable Care Act and supported gay marriage. Osama bin Laden was killed during this term. In his second term, Obama saw job growth and increased exports while establishing climate regulations. He also brokered the Iran nuclear deal and normalized relations with Cuba.
Events of the Bush administration
George W. Bush was elected president in 2000 by a narrow margin after the Supreme Court halted a recount in Florida. His presidency saw the creation of No Child Left Behind, the capture of Saddam Hussein in Iraq, and the passage of tax cuts and a bank bailout package in response to the Great Recession that began in 2008. Major events also included withdrawing from the Kyoto Protocol, the space shuttle Columbia disaster, and vetoes of stem cell research bills.
Election of 2000
This document lists major events that occurred during George W. Bush's presidency from 2000-2010, including his disputed election in 2000, passage of the No Child Left Behind Act, the September 11th terrorist attacks, establishment of the Department of Homeland Security and passage of the Patriot Act, U.S. offensives in Afghanistan and Iraq which overthrew the Taliban and Saddam Hussein respectively, and several natural disasters such as the Indian Ocean tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, the Haiti earthquake, and Hurricane Sandy.
Foreign issues for the clinton administration
This document summarizes several international conflicts and events involving the U.S. from the 1990s-2000s. It discusses ethnic violence and genocide in Somalia, Rwanda, Serbia and Kosovo where hundreds of thousands of people were killed. It also outlines American interventions including peacekeeping missions that ended in casualties, as well as responses to terrorist attacks including the first World Trade Center bombing and USS Cole bombing carried out by radical Muslim groups. No clear policy for dealing with rising Muslim extremism had been developed.
Domestic issues for the clinton administration
The document outlines several domestic challenges faced by the Clinton administration, including the emergence of the internet and related legislation like the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and Communications Decency Act. It also discusses domestic terrorism such as the Oklahoma City bombing by Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols in 1995 and the Columbine school shooting. Congress responded to the Oklahoma City bombing by passing the Anti-Terrorism Act of 1996, similar to the Patriot Act passed after 9/11. Clinton faced political scandals such as Whitewater, sexual harassment accusations from Paula Jones, and impeachment for perjury and obstruction of justice regarding his relationship with Monica Lewinsky.
Clinton 1996 election
In the 1996 election, Bill Clinton was re-elected as president, defeating Republican Bob Dole and Reform candidate Ross Perot. During Clinton's first term he appointed his wife Hillary to head a task force to create a universal healthcare plan, but it was never brought to a vote due to opposition. Clinton worked with a Republican congress to cut spending and lower taxes, resulting in the first balanced budget in 24 years. He also signed welfare reform legislation and oversaw the implementation of NAFTA on January 1, 1994, which both had positive and negative economic effects.
Bill clinton election of 1992
Bill Clinton won the 1992 presidential election as the Democratic nominee, running on a platform of middle-class tax cuts and national healthcare reform. He relied heavily on his wife Hillary Rodham Clinton during the campaign. Clinton positioned himself as a defender of the middle class against incumbent President George H. W. Bush and independent candidate Ross Perot. However, after taking office in 1993, Clinton found it difficult to enact his agenda due to resistance from a Republican-controlled Congress following the 1994 midterm elections.
Reagan and bush
Reaganomics focused on cutting federal spending, reducing taxes, and increasing defense spending. Federal budget cuts targeted programs like food stamps, welfare, Medicaid, and student loans. Tax cuts relied on supply-side economics to stimulate the economy by cutting taxes and increasing business investment and job creation. Defense spending increased substantially through initiatives like the Strategic Defense Initiative. Deregulation of industries like airlines and trucking aimed to lower business and consumer costs. Foreign policy saw the collapse of the Soviet Union and end of the Cold War, as well as US interventions in Central America and the Caribbean.

The big 80s part 1
The conservative movement built in the 1980s as people joined the "New Right" to oppose abortion, the removal of prayer in schools, affirmative action, busing, and welfare programs, while supporting traditional family values and individual responsibility. Ronald Reagan appealed to businesspeople wanting deregulation, southerners wanting smaller government, westerners wanting less federal land control, and Democrats believing their party had become too liberal. Reagan defeated Jimmy Carter in 1980 by promising smaller government, lower taxes, and traditional values as people were frustrated by the hostage crisis, high inflation, and poor economy under Carter.
Ford and carter
Gerald Ford became president after Nixon's resignation and struggled with stagflation as inflation and unemployment rose. His attempts to cut spending and raise interest rates caused a recession. Ford also failed to get support from Congress and lost Vietnam. In the 1976 election, Jimmy Carter was elected as an outsider who promised to restore integrity, but struggled with a weak economy as inflation increased due to rising oil prices set by OPEC. Carter achieved the Camp David Accords but his presidency was hurt by the Iran hostage crisis and a failed rescue mission.
Problems for the nixon administration
The Nixon administration faced several major problems including stagflation, which resisted traditional economic solutions and led to shortages. Vice President Spiro Agnew resigned due to tax evasion and bribery charges, requiring Nixon to appoint Gerald Ford as the new vice president. The Watergate scandal emerged involving a break-in at the Democratic headquarters and Nixon's attempted cover-up, leading to his resignation in 1974 as impeachment loomed. Upon taking office, President Ford granted Nixon a controversial pardon that was unpopular but aimed to unify the nation.
Early 70s nixon for virtual
The document summarizes key events in the Vietnam War in the 1970s and Nixon's presidency. It describes how public support for the war waned as the human costs mounted. Nixon became president in 1968 promising to end the war with "peace with honor" but prolonged it for several more years through bombing of Cambodia and Laos. His policies of Vietnamization gradually removed US troops but Congress revoked support for the war. Protests against the war grew more intense, exemplified by the shooting of student protestors at Kent State. The Pentagon Papers revealed the US never had a plan to end the war. Nixon appealed to the "silent majority" but the legacy of Vietnam included reforms like the War Powers Act limiting presidential war powers.
The vietnam war draws to a close
The document summarizes key events in the Cold War and Vietnam War era from the 1950s to the 1970s. It discusses the Eisenhower Doctrine's goal of containing communism, Soviet advancements like Sputnik that worried Americans, Cold War crises like U2 spy plane incidents and the Cuban Missile Crisis, US escalation in Vietnam to stop communism, protests against the war at home, and the 1973 Paris Peace Accords that ended US involvement as Vietnam reunified under communism.
Us involvement in vietnam
The US became involved in Vietnam for several reasons: to contain communism according to the Cold War policy, the Domino Theory that communism would spread in Asia if one country fell, and the French withdrawal from their colony of Vietnam. The Gulf of Tonkin resolution allowed the president to send troops without congressional approval. The US supported the anti-communist leader Diem in South Vietnam but later helped remove him. Despite initial advisors, the US increasingly committed troops under Kennedy and Johnson but failed to win, contributing to Johnson not seeking re-election. Nixon took office promising to end the war through "Vietnamization" while using tactics like Agent Orange and napalm bombings. Growing protests at home resulted from the Tet Offensive showing
The Cuban Missile Crisis
The Soviet Union placed nuclear missiles in Cuba in 1962, just 90 miles from the United States, alarming President Kennedy and many Americans. Kennedy demanded the missiles' removal and established a blockade around Cuba. A compromise was eventually reached where the Soviets agreed to remove the Cuban missiles in exchange for the US removing missiles from Turkey. The Cuban Missile Crisis brought the US and Soviet Union dangerously close to nuclear war.
Equal rights amendment
The document summarizes the history and goals of the Equal Rights Amendment proposed in the United States. The Equal Rights Amendment aimed to guarantee equal rights under law regardless of sex. It was first proposed in 1923 but gained momentum in the 1960s-1970s led by the National Organization for Women. It passed Congress in 1972 but failed to gain ratification by 38 states by the 1982 deadline due to opposition groups claiming it would eliminate traditional gender roles and legalize gay marriage. While not ratified, numerous court cases have since helped promote greater gender equality.
The Civil Rights Movements
This document outlines the history of the civil rights movement in the United States from the 1950s through the 1960s. It discusses key events and figures, including Brown v. Board of Education, the Montgomery Bus Boycott led by MLK, the formation of civil rights organizations like SNCC and CORE, nonviolent protests such as sit-ins and freedom rides, the march on Washington and MLK's "I Have a Dream" speech, and the assassinations of MLK and Malcom X. It also summarizes landmark civil rights legislation passed during this period, including the Civil Rights Acts of 1957, 1964, and 1968 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Road to wwii
Germany began aggressively expanding its military in violation of the Treaty of Versailles. Hitler sought to gain "living space" or Lebensraum by taking land from countries he viewed as inferior. Germany aided Franco's nationalists in the Spanish Civil War to test its new military tactics. Germany later formed the Axis alliance with Italy and Japan to oppose communism. Despite condemning Germany's rearmament, the League of Nations took no action to stop it. Germany continued expanding by remilitarizing the Rhineland, annexing Austria, and taking the Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia with the appeasement policy of Britain and France proving ineffective at halting German aggression.
Great depression and solutions
The Great Depression was caused by farmers and factory workers losing money due to increased competition from European farms and a tariff on imported goods that led other countries to retaliate. There was also too much buying on credit in the 1920s and people borrowing money to invest in stocks, which then crashed. President Hoover tried to lend money to banks and businesses to stimulate the economy but did not help the unemployed. President Roosevelt created the New Deal, passing laws to regulate Wall Street and banking and creating programs to insure bank deposits, provide social security, and employ people in public works projects.
Totalitarianism takes over europe
Totalitarianism took over Europe in the 1930s and 1940s. Totalitarian governments controlled all aspects of society including where people worked, what was produced, how people dressed, their beliefs, actions, likes and dislikes. People who violated the government's rules faced punishment such as jail or death. European countries turned to totalitarianism due to economic problems during the Great Depression and a lack of democratic tradition, as countries like Italy, Germany and the USSR had been ruled by kings for most of their history. Totalitarian dictators like Stalin, Mussolini and Hitler rose to power by promising to restore national pride and economic stability while blaming issues on enemies of the state.
International women’s day
International Women's Day was first celebrated on March 11, 1911 to bring attention to women's issues in the workplace like lower pay than men for the same work and attempts by women to unionize being suppressed. It was later moved to March 8th in 1913 to commemorate female garment workers protesting low pay and unsafe conditions in 1857. While their protest was broken up by police, it helped lead to the formation of a female garment workers union. In 1986, the entire month of March was proclaimed National Women's Month to increase awareness of women's issues and roles throughout history. The same problems of pay inequality, harassment and discrimination that women first protested over a century ago remain ongoing issues today.
The spanish flu of 1918
The Spanish flu of 1918 was one of the deadliest pandemics in history, killing an estimated 50 million people worldwide - more than died in World War I. Though it originated in China, it obtained its name because neutral Spain reported on the pandemic, unlike warring nations engaging in censorship. The flu spread around the world through the movement of wartime workers and soldiers. It caused more loss of life than many other major diseases.
The end of wwi and the treaty of versailles
The Versailles Treaty harshly punished Germany after WWI, including war reparations, loss of territory, demilitarization, and assigning sole blame for starting the war. Germany was required to pay $33 billion in reparations, surrender industrial and colonial assets, and limit its military, severely impacting its ability to generate income to pay the debt. These punitive terms sowed resentment in Germany and contributed to the rise of Hitler and start of WWII.
Assassinating the archduke
The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary by Serbian nationalists in Sarajevo in 1914 directly led to World War I through a series of events. A Serbian radical group called the Black Hand planned the assassination to protest Austria's annexation of Bosnia. Their attempt with a grenade failed but Archduke Ferdinand was shot later when his driver took a wrong turn. Austria declared war on Serbia, drawing in allies on both sides through a system of alliances. Within a few weeks, the major European powers were at war due to the interconnecting web of defense agreements and the desire of countries to defend their interests, setting the stage for a four-year global war.
The rough riders
The Rough Riders were a volunteer cavalry unit led by Theodore Roosevelt in the Spanish-American War. They charged up San Juan Hill alongside 8,000 other soldiers to defeat a Spanish garrison. While most know their role in this battle, fewer know additional details - the Rough Riders had three mascots, their high casualty rate of 37% was the highest of any U.S. unit in the war, and their fame helped propel Roosevelt into politics and the presidency.
How Teddy Roosevelt Became President
Teddy Roosevelt rose from a wealthy New York family to become governor of New York by capitalizing on his popularity from the Spanish-American War. He was nominated as vice president in 1900 to curb his efforts to break up monopolies and trusts, but became president in 1901 after William McKinley's assassination. As president, Roosevelt took action against monopolies while also promoting American imperialism through policies like building the Panama Canal and projecting naval power globally to advance U.S. interests.
The gilded age
The Gilded Age brought both prosperity and problems to the United States. While industrialization and expansion created success, it also produced political corruption, poor social conditions, and unfair economic practices. Reforms addressed these issues through various new laws and organizations. The direct election of senators, civil service reforms, women's suffrage, housing codes, labor unions, and antitrust acts helped to solve political corruption, unsanitary cities, lack of representation, monopolies, and workers' rights issues plaguing the Gilded Age.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
