Mikhail Gorbachev implemented new economic and political reforms in the Soviet Union called glasnost and perestroika, allowing more openness and economic changes. Relations improved between the US and USSR under Reagan and Gorbachev. They signed the INF Treaty in 1987 eliminating intermediate-range missiles in Europe. In 1988, the USSR withdrew from Afghanistan, ending a war supported by US aid to anti-Soviet mujahideen. The Iran-Contra affair involved Reagan administration officials facilitating arms sales to Iran and diverting the proceeds to illegally fund anti-communist Contra rebels in Nicaragua.

Harding had some successes but many of his appointees engaged in corruption, damaging his reputation. Calvin Coolidge finished Harding's term and won election in 1924, but his laissez-faire policies failed to prevent economic problems that led to the Great Depression. Herbert Hoover was president from 1929-1933, but the stock market crash occurred 8 months into his term and his preference for individualism over government assistance exacerbated the Depression.

Belarus declared independence from the Soviet Union in 1991 after the parliament declared sovereignty in 1990. For almost three years the country did not have a president and was ruled by the Supreme Council. Alexander Lukashenko became the country's first president in 1994. Belarus and Russia have been close allies since the breakup of the Soviet Union, with Belarus dependent on Russia for imports and exports. A union between Russia and Belarus was established in the 1990s through treaties promoting shared policies, but stopped short of fully merging the governments. Under President Lukashenko, Belarus maneuvers between the influence of Western

Some key details about his life and presidency include: He was born in 1911 in Illinois and got his start in Hollywood before pursuing a career in politics. As President, Reagan advocated for lower taxes, less government regulation of the economy, and increased military spending. His policies aimed to stimulate economic growth and roll back communism. However, his presidency was also marked by controversies like the Iran-Contra affair and growing inequality.
Mikhail Gorbachev and the Collapse of the USSR
The document discusses Mikhail Gorbachev's policies of Perestroika and Glasnost in the Soviet Union during the 1980s, which aimed to restructure and open up the communist system through economic and political reforms. It also mentions key events that occurred as a result of these reforms, including the opening of the East German border, the fall of the Berlin Wall, revolutions in Eastern Europe, and the eventual dissolution of the Soviet Union.
Iran-Contra Affair
The Iran-Contra Affair involved the covert sale of arms to Iran by the Reagan administration to fund anti-communist rebels, or Contras, in Nicaragua. Independent Counsel Lawrence Walsh uncovered that funds from the arms sales to Iran were illegally diverted to support the Contras, violating Congressional restrictions. Over the course of an eight year investigation, Walsh charged 14 administration officials with crimes related to the cover up, though many convictions were later overturned. While Reagan claimed ignorance of the diversion, Walsh argued the affair demonstrated failures of executive oversight and accountability.

Mikhail Gorbachev became the leader of the Soviet Union in 1985 and sought to reform the Soviet system through his policies of perestroika, glasnost, uskorenie, and demokratizatsiya. This involved restructuring the political and economic system, increasing transparency, accelerating reforms, and democratizing. He faced opposition from conservatives and Boris Yeltsin. Glasnost allowed for greater freedom of expression and criticism, but also increased unrest in Soviet republics and satellite states. Reforms began to spread through Eastern Europe in 1989, with Solidarity gaining power in Poland and Hungary liberalizing under Soviet non-intervention.

Globale view:
The Cold War began to form after World War II. The disagreements started between 1947-1951. The world split into two large organizations NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) and the Warsaw pact. Many people believed at that time that a nuclear war would start. The main tensions were between The Soviet Union (Russia) and The United States. Both sides and their allies were building up their weapons but did not use them. It was a fight between political systems for power.

The cold war 3
The Cold War ended in the late 20th century as reform in the Soviet Union under Gorbachev and the collapse of Communist regimes in Eastern Europe weakened the Eastern Bloc. Gorbachev's policies of perestroika and glasnost failed to solve economic problems and led to increased dissent. Popular protests emerged demanding democratic change. The USSR dissolved in 1991 and split into independent states, bringing an end to the Cold War. However, Communist rule remained in China and a few other nations, although they adopted some capitalist economic reforms.
The Collapse of Communism & the USSR
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.
Ronald[Reagan]Presidency
The document discusses the rise of conservatism in the US in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It led to Ronald Reagan being elected president in 1980. Key factors included opposition to large government programs and affirmative action, as well as social conservative groups focusing on issues like abortion. Reagan believed in lowering taxes, smaller government, and traditional values. He implemented economic policies known as "Reaganomics" that included budget cuts, tax cuts, and increased defense spending.

13.blog the resurgence of conservatism 1980 2000
Ronald Reagan was elected president in 1980 on a platform of conservative values and reducing the size of government. His economic policies of tax cuts and increased military spending led to large budget deficits. However, the policies are credited with eventually helping to end the stagflation of the 1970s. Reagan intensified the Cold War by increasing defense spending but was able to establish a rapport with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, leading to nuclear arms reduction agreements. Domestically, the religious right gained influence while social issues like AIDS and the war on drugs emerged.
The 1980s
The 1980s saw major changes under President Ronald Reagan's presidency. Reagan implemented supply-side economics through tax cuts and reduced government spending. This led to economic recovery and lower inflation rates. However, Reagan also greatly increased defense spending and pursued an aggressive anti-communist foreign policy, heightening tensions with the Soviet Union. Reagan backed anti-communist rebels in Latin America, deployed peacekeepers in Lebanon who were later attacked, and was embroiled in the Iran-Contra affair arms scandal. However, Reagan developed a strong relationship with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, negotiating nuclear arms treaties and easing Cold War tensions.

Chapter 25 1980s
Ronald Reagan served as president from 1981 to 1989. His presidency saw significant tax cuts and increased military spending. This led to large budget deficits. Reagan pursued a policy of peace through military strength against the Soviet Union during the Cold War. This military buildup contributed to the eventual collapse of the Soviet Union under Gorbachev in 1991, ending the Cold War. Reagan's vice president, George H.W. Bush, was elected president in 1988 and continued Reagan's foreign policy while also seeking to reduce the national debt through tax increases and spending cuts.
Ford to Carter
- Gas prices were reaching new highs in the 1970s due to OPEC raising oil prices and implementing production cuts, leading to gas rationing in some states. This contributed to economic "stagflation", where inflation and unemployment both increased.
- President Carter focused on the energy crisis and conservation but was unsuccessful. He initiated the Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt but most Arab nations opposed it. Iranian revolutionaries took 52 American hostages in 1979 which Carter failed to gain the release of.
1980 project
Ronald Reagan served as the 40th President of the United States from 1981 to 1989. He pursued an economic policy called "Reaganomics" which aimed to cut taxes and reduce government spending and regulation to spur economic growth. In March 1981, Reagan was seriously wounded in an assassination attempt but recovered. Later in his presidency, the Iran-Contra affair damaged Reagan's credibility when it was revealed that arms had been illegally sold to Iran to fund anti-communist rebels in Nicaragua. Despite this controversy, Reagan saw strong economic growth during his terms and challenged Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to "tear down this wall" in Berlin, hastening the end of the Cold War.
Ch 21 After Watergate 2010

Ch 26 1970s and 1980s
After winning the election narrowly in 1968, President Nixon pursued a moderate domestic agenda including establishing new federal agencies like the EPA and OSHA. However, his proposal for a guaranteed annual income failed to pass Congress. Nixon aimed to consolidate Southern support by nominating conservative justices to the Supreme Court. The Watergate scandal erupted after the 1972 election, involving Nixon administration officials covering up a break-in at the Democratic National Headquarters. This led to Nixon's resignation in 1974 to avoid impeachment. The 1970s also saw rising inflation, energy crises, and economic stagnation known as stagflation.

Tengowski - Clinton impeachment
The document summarizes the events surrounding the Clinton impeachment scandal. It details that the scandal began with the Whitewater case and Paula Jones lawsuit against Clinton and later involved Monica Lewinsky, a 22 year old White House intern who had conversations with Linda Tripp about her relationship with Clinton. Tripp recorded these conversations and gave them to Ken Starr. Clinton initially denied the relationship under oath but later admitted to it and apologized for misleading the public. The House then voted to impeach Clinton for perjury and obstruction of justice but he was acquitted in the Senate trial and his approval ratings increased.

Tengowski - The1980's hw bush domestic policy
Bush had to deal with large budget deficits from Reagan and faced pressure from Democrats to raise taxes and Republicans to cut spending. While cutting defense spending after the Cold War, unemployment and poverty increased. Bush ultimately raised taxes by $133 billion in 1992 despite promising "no new taxes," angering his party. He also signed the Americans with Disabilities Act and appointed the conservative Justices David Souter and Clarence Thomas, who faced sexual harassment accusations from Anita Hill.
Tengowski - The1980's hw bush foreign policy
George H.W. Bush presided over the Persian Gulf War in 1991 in which a US-led coalition liberated Kuwait from Iraqi occupation. The 37-day air campaign and 100-day ground war resulted in heavy losses for Iraq but few US casualties. Bush's popularity soared after the victory, which coincided with the collapse of the Soviet Union and end of the Cold War.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
