This decade saw many global events that increased tensions. The U-2 incident in 1960 undermined a potential nuclear test ban treaty between the US and Soviet Union. This contributed to John F. Kennedy being elected on a promise of being tougher on the Russians. Cuba's revolution brought Fidel Castro to power. China tested its first nuclear bomb and separated from the Soviet Union. Kennedy was president during the failed Bay of Pigs invasion and construction of the Berlin Wall. Yuri Gagarin became the first person in space. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963.

The Bay of Pigs
The United States attempted to overthrow Fidel Castro in Cuba through a CIA-trained paramilitary group called Brigade 2506 in 1961, but the invasion lasted only 5 days before they surrendered in what became a major embarrassment for the US known as the Bay of Pigs Invasion, which increased tensions and ultimately led to the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Kennedy orders a naval blockade of Cuba to prevent further Soviet missile shipments and demands the removal of existing missile sites. With nuclear war threatening, an agreement is reached on October 28th where the Soviets agree to remove missiles from Cuba and the US agrees not to invade Cuba and secretly removes missiles from Turkey and Italy. The crisis highlighted the danger of the Cold War and encouraged direct communication between the US and Soviet leaders to reduce tensions.

Bay of pigs presentation
The Bay of Pigs invasion was a failed CIA-orchestrated attempt in April 1961 to overthrow Fidel Castro's communist government in Cuba. CIA-trained Cuban exiles launched an invasion at the Bay of Pigs but were poorly armed and only 1,100 of the 1,400 troops survived as they were defeated by Castro's forces in three days. The failed invasion strengthened Castro's power and the captured exiles were imprisoned for 20 months until a deal was reached between Castro and President Kennedy, who took responsibility for the failure.

The document summarizes several key events in early Cold War history:
1) The U2 Incident of 1960, where the US had a spy plane shot down over Russia, embarrassing the US and straining relations.
2) Fidel Castro's rise to power in Cuba in 1959 and alignment with the USSR, alarming the US.
3) The failed Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961, where Cuban exiles tried and failed to overthrow Castro, worsening US-Cuba relations.
4) The Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, bringing the US and USSR to the brink of nuclear war over Soviet missiles placed in Cuba.
Bay of pigs and cuban missile crisis
The Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba in 1961 was a failure as Cuban exiles attempting to overthrow Fidel Castro were defeated or taken hostage. In response, Castro strengthened ties with the Soviet Union. Later, U.S. spy planes discovered that the Soviet Union was constructing nuclear missile sites in Cuba, just 90 miles from the United States. President Kennedy imposed a blockade of Cuba and threatened military action if the missiles were not removed. After 13 days of heightened tensions, the Soviet Union agreed to remove the nuclear missiles from Cuba in exchange for the U.S. removing its missiles from Italy and Turkey, averting nuclear war.
Kennedy ch. 23
John F. Kennedy was elected president in 1960, becoming the youngest man and first Catholic elected to the office. His youth and optimism captivated many Americans. As president, he established the Peace Corps to provide humanitarian aid abroad. He committed the U.S. to landing on the moon to win the space race against the Soviet Union. However, the failed Bay of Pigs invasion and Cuban Missile Crisis were foreign policy setbacks for his administration. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963 while visiting Dallas, Texas.

Castro and cuba history project
Fidel Castro rose to power in Cuba in 1959 after Fulgencio Batista's corrupt and oppressive regime was overthrown. Castro established a communist government, nationalized foreign-owned businesses including American properties, and aligned Cuba with the Soviet Union. This damaged relations with the US, which imposed an economic embargo on Cuba. Tensions escalated during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 when Soviet nuclear missiles were deployed in Cuba. Over subsequent decades, Castro suppressed dissent and restricted freedoms in Cuba while over a million Cubans fled the country, though relations have remained tense between the US and Cuba.

JFK
JFK campaigned on a platform of "new politics" that emphasized charisma over specific policy issues. He utilized new campaign strategies like television and polling data. In the pivotal televised debates against Nixon, JFK's youthful image gave him an advantage. JFK won the 1960 election by small margins. As president, his top priority was foreign affairs and confronting communism. He increased defense spending and established groups like the Green Berets and Peace Corps. However, the failed Bay of Pigs invasion and building of the Berlin Wall demonstrated the limits of his policies toward Cuba and Germany during the Cold War.

The Cuban Missile Crisis occurred in October 1962 and brought the US and USSR to the brink of nuclear war. The USSR had placed nuclear missiles in Cuba, within striking distance of the US, in response to US missiles placed in Turkey. US President John F. Kennedy demanded the missiles be removed from Cuba. After a standoff, the USSR agreed to remove the missiles in exchange for the US agreeing not to invade Cuba and removing its missiles from Turkey. The crisis highlighted the dangers of the nuclear arms race between the two superpowers during the Cold War.

Richard Nixon was president from 1969-1974. He pursued a foreign policy of détente, improving relations with China and the Soviet Union. However, the Watergate scandal, involving a break-in at the Democratic headquarters and Nixon's subsequent attempts to cover it up, led to his resignation in 1974 to avoid impeachment. Gerald Ford then became president and sought to move past Watergate by pardoning Nixon, though this hurt his popularity.

Khrushchev underestimated the young President Kennedy, believing him to be inexperienced due to his ineffective response to the Bay of Pigs invasion and lack of military response to the Berlin Wall. This led Khrushchev to approve placing nuclear missiles in Cuba to gain a strategic advantage, but he misjudged Kennedy's resolve. Kennedy imposed a blockade on Cuba and secured a deal with Khrushchev to remove the missiles in exchange for pledging not to invade Cuba, bringing the world to the brink of nuclear war.

Ch 19.1
The document summarizes developments in science, art, literature, and popular culture in the aftermath of World War I. Key developments included Sigmund Freud's theories of psychology which helped explain irrational events, Albert Einstein's theories challenging universal principles, and new artistic styles like Surrealism which blended conscious and unconscious elements. In popular culture, new technologies like movies and consumer goods led to changes in leisure activities and tastes as work hours decreased and incomes increased.
Napoleonic age
Napoleon rose to power in France after helping put down an uprising against the Directory. He gained popularity in the military for his tactics and victories over other European powers. However, his invasion of Russia in 1812 proved disastrous as his army was decimated by Russian retreat and winter. This defeat marked the beginning of the end for Napoleon. He was finally defeated at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 and exiled to the remote island of St. Helena, where he died in 1821.
French revolution
The French Revolution began in 1789 and ended in 1799. It was caused by economic, political, and social factors including a bankrupt government, an absolute monarchy, and unequal rights and taxation that disadvantaged the third estate. The revolution removed the monarchy and established a republic, but this period was marked by instability and violence including the Reign of Terror led by Robespierre that resulted in thousands of deaths by guillotine. The revolution dramatically transformed French government and society and had widespread impact on other European countries.
The 1980s
The 1980s saw a rise in consumerism and national debt in the United States. The national debt increased from $914 billion to $2 trillion from 1980 to 1986 while average salaries were $15,757 and minimum wage was $3.10. Popular culture embraced excess spending and brand labels as national priorities shifted to individualism. Politically, Ronald Reagan was elected president in 1981, the Space Shuttle Columbia launched that year, and events like the Iran-Contra Affair and Challenger explosion occurred later in the decade. Mikhail Gorbachev also became the Soviet Union's new leader in 1985 pursuing reforms of Perestroika and Glasnost.
The 1970s
The document provides an overview of major events and trends in the United States and world during the 1970s. It discusses the US and USSR signing the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in 1970. It also mentions Apollo 11 landing on the moon, the Chilean coup of 1973, the Yom Kippur War between Israel and Arab states in 1973, and the Camp David Accords that year normalizing relations between Egypt and Israel. The document also summarizes the Watergate scandal that led to President Nixon's resignation in 1974, the Iranian Revolution beginning in 1977, and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 to expand Soviet influence in Asia.
Cuban missile crisis
The document discusses the Cuban Missile Crisis from October 15-28, 1962. It describes the key events that led to the Soviet Union placing nuclear missiles in Cuba, including U.S.-Soviet relations and U.S.-Cuba relations. It then provides a day-by-day summary of the crisis, from the U.S. discovering the missiles to the resolution where the Soviets agreed to remove the missiles from Cuba in exchange for the U.S. agreeing not to invade Cuba.
Korean war
The Korean War lasted from June 1950 to July 1953 over 38 months. In June 1950, North Korean forces pushed south across the 38th parallel capturing Seoul. In September 1950, US forces conducted an amphibious landing at Inchon, recapturing Seoul and advancing past the 38th parallel. However, Chinese forces intervened in November 1950 driving UN forces back below the 38th parallel. Fighting continued along the 38th parallel until an armistice was signed on July 27, 1953. The war resulted in 136,935 casualties including 33,651 killed in action defending South Korea from communist aggression.
The 1950s
The document summarizes several major events from the 1950s including McCarthyism and the Red Scare in the US, the CIA coups in Iran and Guatemala, the First Indochina War and fall of Dien Bien Phu in Vietnam, the establishment of the Warsaw Pact, the Hungarian Uprising, the Suez Crisis, the launch of Sputnik, and the Berlin Ultimatum. Tensions were high between the US and Soviet Union during the Cold War era with fears of communism spreading globally.
Berlin blockade
The Berlin Blockade was the first serious crisis of the Cold War. In response to the Western powers creating a separate West Germany by joining their occupied zones, the Soviet Union blocked the primary air and land routes to the isolated Western sector of Berlin. The U.S. military governor, Lucius Clay, oversaw the Berlin Airlift to supply West Berlin by aircraft despite the Soviet blockade.
Ch 22.2 Origins of the Cold War
After WWII, Europe was divided between the Western-aligned countries supported by the US and the Eastern bloc led by the Soviet Union. This division marked the beginning of the Cold War.
The US established programs like the Truman Doctrine and Marshall Plan to contain the spread of communism and support democratic countries with economic and military aid. In response, the Soviet Union tightened its control over Eastern Europe and established organizations like Cominform.
Both NATO and the Warsaw Pact were formed as military alliances with the US and USSR respectively. NATO provided protection for Western nations while the Warsaw Pact allied Eastern countries with the Soviet Union. This cemented the military divisions in Europe between the two sides.
Ch 22.1 Aftermath of WWII
The document discusses the aftermath of World War 2 in Europe and the origins of the Cold War. It describes the wartime conferences between Allied leaders to determine how to administer defeated Axis nations and establish lasting peace. This included dividing and occupying Germany as well as establishing the United Nations. However, disagreements among the Allies over spheres of influence and postwar policies in Eastern Europe planted the seeds for the Cold War.
Ch 21.5 and 21.6 questions
The document contains a chapter about the Holocaust that discusses Hitler's plans in Eastern Europe, the role of concentration camps, and the systematic extermination of Jews. It also includes a chapter on the end of World War II covering major battles against Germany and Japan as well as terms like island hopping and unconditional surrender. Students are asked to review statements and identify whether they are true or false, correcting any false statements.
Ch 21.4 questions
The document contains a chart about Japanese invasions and occupations during World War II, listing regions and countries invaded by Japan and the results. It also includes true/false statements about events in World War II and incomplete sentences about key battles and locations to be filled in. The document appears to be from a student assignment on World War II covering Japanese expansionism and major events in the European and North African theaters.
Ch 21.3 questions
In the first year of World War 2, Axis powers rapidly expanded their territory. Germany invaded Poland, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and France, capturing all within a year. They also invaded eastern territories like Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Finland. Britain evacuated its troops from Dunkirk under German air attacks, narrowly escaping capture.
