4. The US sought to dominate the new United Nations and did not do enough to prevent the
1950s Cold War
During the 1950s Cold War era, there was widespread fear of communist influence and nuclear attack in the United States. The federal government investigated the loyalty of employees, while people built bomb shelters and practiced drills in case of nuclear strikes. This fear of communism abroad led the US and USSR to engage in a nuclear arms race and space race to prove the superiority of their technologies and ideologies. The Soviet Union gained an early advantage by launching Sputnik as the first artificial satellite in 1957, but the US went on to land on the moon in 1969, claiming victory in the space competition.

Us and the world
This document provides an overview of traditional US foreign policy and its transformation from isolationism to imperialism in the late 19th century. It discusses key events and doctrines like the Monroe Doctrine and Manifest Destiny that shaped early US expansion. Economic factors like overproduction and navalism, as well as racism, contributed to America taking on a more interventionist foreign policy after the Civil War. The Spanish-American War marked the US emergence as a world power, resulting in colonies like the Philippines and interventions across the Caribbean and Latin America in the early 20th century.

Canada and the cold war
The Cold War began in 1945 after WWII and lasted until 1991. It was a period of geopolitical tension and military buildup between the United States and its capitalist allies and the Soviet Union and its communist allies. Though direct military conflict was avoided, the two superpowers engaged in espionage, propaganda, arms races, and proxy wars. The ideological conflict that fueled the Cold War was between communism and democracy. Key events included the Berlin Airlift, nuclear arms buildup, space race, Cuban Missile Crisis, and fall of the Berlin Wall. The Cold War ended as reform policies in the USSR led Eastern Bloc countries to abandon communism in 1989-1991.

Martin luther king
Martin Luther King Jr. was a famous civil rights leader in the 1950s and 1960s who advocated for racial equality and justice. He led protests against racial segregation, organized the Montgomery bus boycott in 1955, and helped found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. In 1963, he delivered his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech during the March on Washington. Though assassinated in 1968, MLK Jr.'s message of nonviolence and his work to end legalized racial discrimination through civil disobedience live on.
Spies

- James Armistead acted as a spy in Cornwallis' camp, relaying intelligence on troop movements and arms that helped the Americans defeat the British at Yorktown.
- Nathan Hale volunteered for an intelligence mission but was caught and hanged, uttering the famous line "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country."
- The Culper Ring, organized by Benjamin Tallmadge and Abraham Woodhull, operated covertly in British-occupied New York and provided General Washington with valuable intelligence until the end of the war.
Social Studies Skills And Methods
This document outlines skills and methods for evaluating the reliability and credibility of information sources in social studies. It discusses understanding propaganda and bias, analyzing source reliability, and determining credibility by considering the reputation of writers, agreement with other sources, recognition of stereotypes, accuracy and consistency, and circumstances of writing. Key factors for determining credibility include an author's qualifications, consistency with other sources, presence or absence of stereotyping, currency of information, and context surrounding the writing.
The creation of new governments
This document provides an overview of the creation of new governments following the American Revolution. It describes how the Articles of Confederation created a very weak national government with limited powers, leading to problems like financial troubles, inflation, and Shays' Rebellion. This convinced leaders that a stronger Constitution was needed to address problems facing the early United States. The new Constitution strengthened the national government by creating separate branches, allowing amendments, and giving powers like taxation and regulation of commerce.
Human rights abuses
Human rights violations in China are widespread according to the document. The Chinese government imprisons people without cause, subjects prisoners to brutal treatment, and punishes minor crimes severely. It forbids religious practice and expression of opposing views, censoring media and repressing protests. In 1989, the Chinese military killed many pro-democracy demonstrators in Tiananmen Square. China's economic growth policy in Tibet lacks political reforms, causing resentment among Tibetans. The farming industry is declining as people lose land and face rising prices and hunger. Raising awareness of these abuses is suggested as the best solution.
Human Rights Abuses WWII
The document summarizes several human rights violations that occurred during the 20th century, including the Bataan Death March, Japanese internment camps in the United States, and the Holocaust. During the Bataan Death March, Japanese troops forced American and Filipino prisoners of war to walk over 70 miles with little food or water, resulting in many deaths. Japanese Americans were forcibly relocated to internment camps during World War II due to suspicions about their loyalty. The Holocaust involved the systematic persecution and murder of approximately 6 million Jews and 5 million others by the Nazi regime between 1933-1945.
Decolonisation
Decolonization refers to the process by which colonies become independent nations. It occurred from 1945-1960 as countries that had been ruled by European colonial powers gained autonomy and self-governance. Key drivers of decolonization included nationalist movements inspired by leaders like Gandhi, contributions by colonies during World War 2, and the rise of ideologies supporting self-determination. The end of colonial rule had political, economic, and social consequences for newly independent nations.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
