22.3 - SW Asia The Northeast
The document discusses the geopolitics of Southwest Asia and the Middle East. It covers the ethnic and religious diversity of the region, including the Kurdish people who lack a sovereign state. It also summarizes the Iran-Iraq War from 1980 to 1988, which killed over 1 million people and devastated both countries' economies and infrastructure. Finally, it provides an overview of Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in 1990 and the US-led coalition that drove Iraqi forces out of Kuwait in the Persian Gulf War.
Rwanda Overview
The document provides background on the ethnic groups and colonial history of Rwanda. It describes how the Hutus and Tutsis generally lived peacefully until European colonization, when the Belgians took control and favored the minority Tutsis, exacerbating ethnic tensions. After independence, the majority Hutus took power and persecuted Tutsis, causing many to flee to neighboring countries. This led to a civil war and UN peacekeeping efforts. However, extremist Hutus were unhappy with power sharing and assassinated the president, triggering a genocide where Hutus began killing Tutsis.

Pledge of Allegiance
The document provides context about key events and social issues in the United States during the 1850s and 1950s. In the 1850s, Abraham Lincoln's "House Divided" speech highlighted rising sectional tensions. Pro-slavery and abolitionist groups clashed over the issue of slavery.

World History Ch. 16 Section 3 Notes
1. Exploration led to the Columbian Exchange where crops, animals and diseases were shared between the Americas and Afro-Eurasia, changing global agriculture and devastating American indigenous populations.
2. Europeans developed the economic policy of mercantilism in the 1500s to build wealth through favorable trade balances and by establishing colonies to control trade.
3. Growing global trade between Europe and its colonies in the 1500s-1600s expanded capitalism as merchants profited and joint-stock companies financed riskier ventures, fueling increased business activity in Europe.

Barack Obama's Success Story
Barack Obama was born in 1961 in Hawaii to a Kenyan father and American mother. He faced a difficult relationship with his father and was raised primarily by his mother and grandparents. Obama later attended Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he became the first African American president of the Harvard Law Review.

History of the United States
The document provides a high-level overview of the history of the United States, beginning with the discovery of America by the Vikings in 1000 and Christopher Columbus in 1492. It discusses the colonization of America by European powers like Spain, the Netherlands, France, and Britain in the 15th-16th centuries. This led to the introduction of slavery and the Columbian Exchange between the Old and New Worlds. The 13 original colonies established by the British in North America are also outlined. Key events like the Pilgrims' arrival on the Mayflower in 1620 and the American Revolution against Britain in the late 18th century that established the new nation are summarized at a high level.
American History--A Brief Overview
Columbus discovers America in 1492, and groups of English settlers establish colonies in the following centuries. Slavery becomes widespread by 1750, with 25% of the population enslaved. The American Revolutionary War begins in 1776 and ends in 1783, establishing the United States as an independent nation. However, tensions over slavery erupt into the Civil War from 1861-1865, which concludes with the Union's victory and the abolition of slavery. Key events and figures that follow include both World Wars, the Civil Rights Movement led by Martin Luther King Jr., and symbols of American ideals like the Statue of Liberty.

His signature achievement was the Affordable Care Act to provide health insurance to millions of uninsured Americans.

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 - Clinton domestic policy
The document describes the economic growth and job creation during Bill Clinton's presidency from 1992 to 2000. It notes an almost 8-year period of economic growth at 4% per year, reducing the deficit to a surplus. Unemployment fell to 3.9%, its lowest in 3 decades, while inflation, poverty, and home ownership all increased. The stock market grew significantly over this period as well. It also discusses several policy initiatives and debates during Clinton's terms, such as healthcare reform and campaign finance reform, as well as government shutdowns over balancing the budget.
Tengowski - Clinton domestic terrorism
The document lists several tragic events involving bombings and mass shootings between 1993 and 1999, including the 1993 World Trade Center bombing that killed 6 and injured 1000, the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing of the federal building that killed 168, and the 1999 Columbine High School shooting that killed 13 and was carried out by Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold who fired over 900 rounds.

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.

Bush went on to hold several prominent foreign policy roles, including US Ambassador to the UN, head of the Republican National Committee, chief of the US Liaison Office in China, and Director of the CIA, before becoming Vice President under Ronald Reagan in 1981.
