Collapse of the soviet union
The collapse of the Soviet Union began under Mikhail Gorbachev in the late 1980s with policies of glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring). This led to unrest in Soviet republics and nationalist movements. Lithuania was the first republic to declare independence from the Soviet Union in 1990, which the Soviet Union attempted to suppress by attacking the Lithuanian capital. An attempted coup by communist hardliners against Gorbachev failed in 1991. This weakened the Soviet Union further and led to the independence of the remaining republics, effectively dissolving the Soviet Union.
End of the cold war
The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 marked the end of the Cold War and collapse of communist authoritarian rule in Eastern Europe. The dismantling of the Berlin Wall allowed pent up energies to be unleashed in former Soviet bloc countries as democratic governments and free market systems spread. This seismic event liberated the people who had been living under Soviet communist rule and domination.
World war 2
The document summarizes key events of World War 2 across multiple sections. It discusses Germany's invasion of Poland and France after attacking Poland, and their use of the new Blitzkrieg fighting method. It also mentions the evacuation of 400,000 British and French soldiers from Dunkirk in 1940, the Battle of Britain involving aircraft, and the USSR also invading Poland besides Germany.
China
Mao Zedong led China from 1949 until his death in 1976 and instituted communist rule. During his rule, he started the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution to modernize China's economy and remove capitalist influences. However, a lack of modern technology hampered China's growth. In the 1970s, Deng Xiaoping implemented market-based reforms and the "Four Modernizations" of industry, agriculture, science and technology, and national defense to open China to foreign trade and investment. This led to rapid economic growth and rising living standards, though it also increased inequality. The Chinese government's violent crackdown on pro-democracy protesters in Tiananmen Square in 1989 drew international criticism. In 1997, Great

One reason for the end of the Cold War was the failure of communism in Eastern Europe. Protests and demonstrations in countries like Poland and East Germany undermined Soviet control over the satellite states. When Soviet leaders refused to use military force to crush the unrest, it marked the beginning of the end for communist rule in Eastern Europe and removed a key ideological difference between East and West that had defined the Cold War. This development put pressure on Soviet leaders to allow more freedom and democracy and ultimately led to the demise of the Soviet Union itself.

McMarthyism
McCarthyism arose in the late 1940s and early 1950s as anti-communist paranoia grew in response to Soviet expansion in Europe, the Soviet atomic bomb, and the Korean War stalemate. This led Republicans like McCarthy to accuse Democrats of being soft on communism, fueling fears that caused millions to take loyalty oaths or face investigations and limiting political activism and union activity. Concerns over Soviet espionage were high during this period, leading to the conviction and execution of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg for passing nuclear secrets to the Soviet Union.
The home front
The document discusses aspects of life on the American home front during World War 2. It provides multiple choice questions and answers about key topics like: the country that emerged as the dominant global power after the war (USA); America's low unemployment rate of 1.2% in 1944; a 25% increase in food production during the war; over 6 million women entering the workforce; more than a million newcomers pouring into California between 1941-1944; and the GI Bill of Rights being passed to help veterans transition to civilian life. It also addresses racial tensions in Detroit that led to 34 deaths in 1943 and Japanese Americans being interned due to war hysteria.

Europen law on Functional Claims
Functional claims are allowed in Europe subject to certain restrictions and tests. Claims must define the technical features of the invention, but may define features functionally if: (1) more precise definition is not possible without unduly limiting the scope; (2) the functional definition provides clear instructions to implement the invention without undue burden; and (3) the prior art does not preclude use of the functional language. The description must also enable a skilled person to implement the full scope of the claims.

Universities and File Sharing
The document discusses different options for how universities should handle illegal file sharing on their networks. It describes the current approach taken by the RIAA of sending pre-litigation letters to universities to identify students engaged in file sharing. It also outlines two alternative options: blocking P2P applications, which could drive users to more anonymous darknets; and providing legal streaming alternatives through services like Napster or Ruckus, though funding such alternatives for all students would be very costly. In the end, the document concludes that alternatives have problems for inclusion in federal law and that more research is still needed to address the challenging issue.
Dead civilizations
The document provides multiple choice questions about ancient civilizations including the Minoans, Hittites, Phoenicians, Sumerians, and Babylonians.

Exponents
Exponents represent repeated multiplication of a base number. An exponent tells how many times the base number is used as a factor. For example, in the expression 53, 5 is the base and 3 is the exponent, meaning 5 x 5 x 5 or 125. Any number to the 0 power equals 1, and any number to the 1st power equals itself. It is a common mistake to think the exponent indicates the number of factors instead of the number of times the base is used as a factor.

Dictators threaten world peace!
The document discusses the rise of dictators in the 1930s and their threat to world peace. It describes the totalitarian regimes established by Stalin in the USSR, Mussolini in Italy, and Hitler in Germany and their aggressive actions, including Germany and Italy supporting Franco in the Spanish Civil War, Japan invading Manchuria, and Hitler establishing the Third Reich. It also discusses international responses like the Kellogg-Briand Pact renouncing war and US Neutrality Acts, but suggests dictators still posed a threat to peace.
A nation divided
The document discusses the social and political divisions in the United States during the 1960s over the Vietnam War and military draft. It notes that African Americans disproportionately served in Vietnam compared to other groups. Large youth-led protest movements emerged calling for an end to the war, with over 100,000 people attending one protest in New York's Central Park. Those opposed to the war and draft fled to Canada to avoid conscription.

The War Industries Board eliminated waste during World War 1 by standardizing production, paying employees less, and creating more products using bio-degradable parts. The Federal Trade Commission also regulated the economy during this time. Hourly wages increased by 10% during the war. The US government raised money for the war by selling war bonds to the public. It created a propaganda agency to popularize the war through rallies and censorship.

The cold war at home
During the Cold War era in the United States, fear of communism and communist influence led to widespread investigations and blacklisting. President Truman established the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1947 to investigate communist influence. The HUAC interrogated citizens, including Hollywood figures, about their political views and ties. Those who refused to testify or were named as communists, like the Hollywood Ten, were blacklisted from working in the film industry. Senator Joseph McCarthy further exacerbated tensions by accusing government employees and others of being communists without providing evidence, until his accusations were eventually discredited.
Skills and methods
Three potential sources of information about a candidate for school board are described, with a televised debate being the least likely to be biased.

The harding presidency
The document provides a summary of key events and issues during the presidency of Warren G. Harding from 1921 to 1923. It covers topics like the aftermath of World War 1, including war debts owed by France and Britain to the US. It also discusses the Washington Naval Conference of 1921-1922, the Fordney-McCumber Tariff, and the Kellogg-Briand Pact of 1928 which renounced war. Domestic issues like inflation in Germany and corruption scandals during Harding's administration, including the Teapot Dome Scandal, are also summarized.
Acquiring new lands
The document summarizes the United States' acquisition of new territories and expansion of influence after the Spanish-American War. It discusses how Puerto Rico became a US territory through the Foraker Act. In Cuba, the US helped establish an independent government but maintained influence through the Platt Amendment. The Philippine-American War broke out as Filipinos sought independence, lasting 3 years. In China, Western powers divided economic spheres of influence but the US sought to maintain the Open Door policy of equal trade access.
Section 30 1 moving toward conflict
The document outlines the increasing US involvement in Vietnam from supporting France's colonial rule in the 1940s-50s to defending South Vietnam from communism in the 1960s. It describes how the US backed France's reoccupation of Vietnam after WWII. The Vietminh resisted and gained control of North Vietnam by 1954 while the US-supported South was established. Attempts to reunify the country through elections failed, fueling the Vietcong insurgency in the South. As the South's government weakened in the early 1960s, the US role expanded under presidents Kennedy and Johnson through bombing campaigns and greater military commitment.
The right stuff!
This document discusses different skills and subjects that are important for learning and success, including how to learn effectively, the value of liberal arts in making connections across disciplines, and how passion and curiosity are more important than raw intelligence alone. It also stresses the importance of right-brain creativity, being able to think outside the box, and having a flexible free market economy that allows for experimentation.
The atomic bomb ends the war
The document provides information about key events and decisions around the end of World War II, including the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the surrender of Japan, and postwar settlements. It asks multiple choice questions about these topics, such as why Truman decided to use atomic bombs against Japan, where the first bomb was detonated, how many people died as a result of both bombs, and where Japan surrendered.
World war 2
After invading Poland in 1939, Germany next invaded France. The Germans used a new rapid military tactic called "Blitzkrieg" or lightning war in Poland. The USSR and Germany signed a non-aggression pact agreeing not to attack each other. In 1940, over 400,000 British and French soldiers were evacuated from Dunkirk back to Britain. The Battle of Britain primarily involved aircraft. Besides Germany, the USSR also invaded Poland in 1939 according to the terms of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact signed by Germany and the USSR.
America as a world power
America emerged as a world power in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It gained overseas territories and influence after defeating Spain in the Spanish-American War of 1898. The US also played a larger role in international affairs, such as negotiating the end of the Russo-Japanese War in 1905. This period saw the beginning of America's rise to become a global superpower in the 20th century.
Imperialism and america
Imperialism and America discusses reasons for US imperialism in the late 19th century. Key reasons included the thirst for new markets to address overproduction and the belief in social Darwinism that nations should compete in the global free market. The US competed for influence especially in Asia, notably China and Korea. One influential text was Alfred Thayer Mahan's book on sea power. The US purchased Alaska from Russia for $7.2 million and overthrew the Hawaiian government led by Sanford Dole to annex the islands, partly due to sugar plantation owners' desires.
Women in public life 2
The document discusses women's roles and status in American society before the 19th century. Before the Civil War, most women were expected to marry and take care of families, as few had opportunities for jobs or education. By the late 19th century, options began expanding as college became a possibility in addition to marriage. The majority of working women in the 1870s held jobs as servants or farm laborers.

The Progressive Movement aimed to address issues created by industrialization and urbanization in the late 19th century. Reformers sought to protect social welfare, create economic reform, and foster efficiency. The Social Gospel Movement attempted to help the poor through community centers and churches. Some Progressives embraced socialism to improve conditions for factory workers. Muckrakers like Robert La Follette wrote about corruption in politics and business. City bosses often rewarded political supporters with jobs and kickbacks. The Keating-Owen Act of 1916 prohibited child labor. Before the 17th Amendment, state legislatures chose US Senators.
Introduction to ancient rome
Rome and Carthage competed for influence in the Mediterranean, leading to three Punic Wars between the two powers. The First Punic War began as a local conflict in Sicily but resulted in Rome gaining control over Sicily and extracting money from Carthage. Hannibal later invaded Italy by crossing the Alps during the Second Punic War, defeating Roman armies at Cannae, but was unable to take Rome. Rome ultimately defeated Carthage at Zama. Nearly 50 years later, the Third Punic War ended with Rome destroying Carthage to eliminate it as a rival in the Mediterranean.
Changing way of life
The document discusses the major social changes in the United States during the 1920s as the country transitioned from a rural to urban society. It describes how prohibition led to clashes between traditional rural values and new secular urban cultures. Prohibition failed to stop alcohol consumption and instead empowered organized crime which fought over control of the illegal alcohol trade. By the mid-1920s, prohibition had little support and was repealed in 1933 with the 21st amendment. The 1920s was also a period of conflict between science and religion exemplified by the Scopes Monkey Trial over the teaching of evolution in schools.

The document discusses various multiple choice questions related to the decline of the Roman Empire:
1. The last of the "Five Good Emperors" was Marcus Aurelius.
2. The group that did NOT disrupt trade in the Roman Empire was the Roman Senate.
3. The drastic drop in the value of money is called inflation.
4. Poor Roman farmers abandoned their lands due to poor weather and increased use of large estates called latifundia.
5. The Romans increasingly used mercenaries to fight in the Roman army.
6. The thing Diocletian did NOT do was draft prisoners of war.

The cold war heats up
The document discusses events related to the Chinese Civil War and the Korean War. It describes how Chiang Kai-shek led the nationalist Chinese who were supported by the US but lost the civil war to the communists who gained support from peasants. After losing, the nationalists fled to Taiwan. It also discusses the division of Korea after World War 2 with North Korea occupied by the USSR and the South by the US, leading to the Korean War started by North Korea invading the South but being stopped by UN forces including the US. The war ended in a stalemate.
