The Cuban Missile Crisis was almost the end of the world because the Soviet Union was planting Missiles in Cuba and They found out so the set up EX-COMM, which was were the Presdient's 12 most trusted advisors. The trusted advisors all decided not to attack Cuba cause it would just cause a Nuclear War in the world.

NATO and The Warsaw Pact


The Pact between these countries were only because there was a cold war going on. NATO was created by The U.S. were they made a agreement to certain countries if Russia would ever attack member of the NATO, then all members of NATO would go to war aganist Russia. But snice Russia and U.S. were in a contest aganist each other, Russia decided to make this Warsaw Pact with other Nations to agree to same thing U.S. were doing. So basically Russia just copied the NATO idea. This was a battle between U.S. and the U.S.S.R , each top Nation trying to accept the Idea of Communism and Captailism.

Film Lesson "Schindler's List"

Schindler's List told a different story to the about the Holocaust it didn't show many scence how the Nazi's murdered the Jewish people. This movie really told me a different story because some of the movie I don't get at all. The movie was to me more understandable but not as powerful. The Krakow Ghetto was just begining of the horrible thing ahead for the Jews many people thought it was all going to over but everywhere the Nazi's took the Jews it just got worse. No some of the images were just had no representation of the movie it just had a few scene's people will remeber

Film Lesson "Night and Fog"


The first movie called Night and Fog was really realistic, I didn't
find the movie as powerful most people did because I know what to
expect from a holocaust. This movie compared to the movie Schindler's
List it was more devastating. In the Hollywood version of the Holocaust
it has more detail then the Hollywood version. The Hollywood version only shows short scene's of killing.
