Mikhail Gorbachev and the end of Communism

Well Mikhail Gorbachev was the person who opened up the Soviet Union by allowing new ideas be heard.The churches were opened,descendants were to be free from jail, and books that were banned were being accepted again into society, and also the citizens were able to vote for the country's candidates. He also allowed people to open their own private businesses. He regained back freedom and allowed voices to be heard. Indeed this angered the Soviet citizens to speak of their complaints or problems. He ended communism because basically in a communist society, the government basically controlled everything. And it restricted freedom of press, speech, and religion. Mikhail's way of governing was different from all the other previous Soviet leaders due to the fact that other leaders did what they wanted and never listened to their people.

Glasnost - Its basically a reunion where they Soviet Union's issues, economy and political problems. It was formed in 1985 by Mikhail Gorbachev.

Peristroika - It basically a policy or in a way a practice for reforming the Soviet Union's economic and political system.

Collapse Of Communism

Well communism collapsed in Eastern Europe and the USSR mainly because people people were not allowed to cross the border from communist East Germany to Democratic West Germany. When the Berlin Wall came crashing down, Eastern and Western Germany could form more economic and social ties. In the begging it was an economic disaster, later on, they were able to better their financial situations. People teared down the Berlin Wall because they were separated from their family and at last, on November 9, 1989, the wall came down. After 28 years, East and West Germany could finally form new diplomatic relations.When Communism was abolished, there was less of a need for concern about nuclear annihilation.In fact this changed the world since now you can go basically country you want, not worrying that you'll get shot for being different.

Creation of Israel

Zionism is basically a political movement that supports homeland for the Jewish people since theyy felt for happened to them because of Adolf Hitler. Palestinians and Israel people don't get along because the Israel people took there land to make the land of the people from Israel.Both sides claim that Israel has occurred a lot of historical events, there ethnicity, religion and culture in Israel that is very sacred to them.The other foundries around Israel are angry at the Jews because they it is not fair that they lost there land and because the United States helped them economically so therefore will improve their military and economic system.

Nelson Mandela and Apartheid

Well Apartheid was a racial segregation policy were basically non-whites were classified as Bantu or black, colored which were from mixed races, and Indians didn't share full rights of citizenship's with the whites. This system was during the year 1948 to 1994, which was around 13 years.The word Apartheid was developed in the late 1930s by the South Africans Bureau, which had called for policy "separate development of races." This system was first approved when the Afrikaner National Party came to power. Nelson Mandela was a hero because other people just do what Apartheid you to do, but he was a fighter and a was warrior who wanted to free South Africa. He admired by so many authors because he is one of the worlds freedom fighters for unity and liberation and all his other accomplishments in South Africa.

African Independence

Africa changed some much during a 20 year time period, 1955 to 1975. Well one reason why Africa changed was because the British Colony developed the first African colony in South Sahara to basically achieve independence, called the Gold Coast. One of the leaders that lead them to independence was Kwame Nkrumah, he was a teacher, who helped liberate the Gold Coast from the British. Well similary to Gandhi in India.He also lead non-violent protests. Kwame had organized boycotts and strikes which caused him to be arrested several times. Although Kwame had been arrested, his efforts made a huge difference. Eventually Ghana was able to gain independence and this started numerous changes and advancements throughout Africa. They received their independence, and they took the name Ghana, and became the first nation that was governed by Africans. Well after the indepedence he became prime minister of Ghana.

Neolithic Revolution

Well the Neolithic Revolution was a major turning point in around the world because before this event, humans would hunt animals and gather food in order to survive. They would migrate to deferment places and never get settled in one area because of the climate and food supply. The Neolithic Revolution basically allowed humans to settle in one place and learned how to farm by using seeds. Humans also began to domesticate animals instead of killing them right away. They were able to develop new technologies, form social classes, and increase population. Most of people settled around the rivers because it was more convenient for their crops. They were able to get water and have fertile soil which developed farming.Through out this era humans were now able to have more control over many thing they do. Luckily we domesticate animals now instead of killing which would have been a disaster because without food we would probably not exist.I personally think the Neolithic Revolution is an era which played an important part in history.

The European Union

Well for a period of time Europe was the scene of frequent and bloody wars. France and Germany fought each other three times wit a lot of casualties.Several European leaders became convinced that the only way to secure a lasting peace between their countries was to unite them economically and politically. Their final decision was to make the European Union an alliance of 25 nations that has changed the face of Europe. This union has been successful that it has created a new superpower in the world. The European Union is now a economic and political superpower that competes with the USA. Well now this economic union was successful and grew into other economic unions. Now the EU has its own parliament, military, and various organizations and committees that help maintain cooperation and trade between the EU member nations.Now the same nations who used to fight and kill each other are now bound together economically, politically, socially, and militarily which basically means that the chance that this countries would want to start war is very small.
