The Neolithic Revolution was a major turning point in history. The Neolithic Revolution is also known as the first agricultural revolution. Humans went from hunting & gathering for animals and moving around from place to place to settling down in one area and planting seeds.
From this, cave men evolved into farmers. The population of people grew and cities had formed. The cities formed in river valleys because of the rich soil that was good for planting crops. From this, more advanced civilizations began because the places where the new & improved cavemen, which were knew as farmers, had the places well organized.
The European Union is the joining of the 25 European countries. It became the competing superpower with the United States.
With the EU being made, people could now travel to other countries without having to go through all the passport stuff at the country borderline. They can just pass through freely. Also, people were free to work in the other countries of Europe. For example, an Italian man could have the ability to work in Germany without any trouble.
It is also easy for the people money wise. Throughout Europe, there was only one currency. It was called the Euro. Now it was easy because every time they traveled to another country, they could still keep their money. They didn't have to do a money exchange every time they traveled to another country.
The EU is a good thing because it saves money for the people who live in Europe. The EU joined them to become one. Now, they can prevent wars from breaking out.
In the movie "The Right Stuff", the United States and the U.S.S.R. were competing on who could send a man up into space first. This competition that they were having was called the "Space Race".
The U.S.S.R. was winning the competition. They had already sent a man up into space before the United States had.
The scene that I would always remember is the scene when the United States kept trying and trying to get a space craft into space & they weren't successful. To me, it showed how hard they were trying in order to win the competition. Eventually they were successful in getting space craft into space.
In October of 1962, The United States learned that the U.S.S.R had secretly installed missiles and missile bases and Cuba, which is about 90 miles away from Florida, which is extremely close to the United States. President Kennedy demanded that the U.S.S.R remove the missiles from Cuba at once. The U.S.S.R. offered to the the missiles from Cuba, providing if the Unties States would diamantle its military bases in Turkey. The United States refused.
After a week of extreme tension between the two nations,Nikita Khrushchev, the Premier of the U.S.S.R., agreed to remove the missiles.
NATO stood for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. This organization came together on April 4, 1949. NATO consisted of North America and the European countries. The purpose for this organization coming together is because so that the countries could back each other up when they are in need of aide. Europe had formed this organization because Europe felt very weak again the Soviet Union when the Soviet Union started to gain lots & lots of power.
6 years later, the Warsaw Pact was born. This alliance consisted of the Soviet Union and its satellite countries. This was a response to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, other known as NATO. They had made this because the Soviet Union observed NATO as a threat.
