The reason why Africa changed so much in the 20 year period from 1955 to 1975, was because before there was a large amount of countries that were dependent. Although based on the map at the year 1975, the amount of dependent countries lower, now most of African countries are divided independently.

The European Union
Read the link below. Briefly explain the European Union and respond to the following: Why is it a good thing? What will it prevent?
European Union was mostly based on gaining power that U.S had. Europe was not satisfied with the effort they were doing, they needed to have more strenght in order to get absolute power, just like U.S and also try to act like them.
EU wanted to do use the same kind of system U.S now use.
The reason why I don't really think is a good thing is because If someone or a country for example wants to succes, that own person has to make it's own effort to the things, and if something doesn't come all right, so then just try the other way instead. But just knowing that is your own problem and you're the only judge for the mistake taken.

"The Right Stuff"
How were the US and the USSR competing in the film "The Right Stuff"? Explain who was winning the competition. What scenes from the film will help you remember this Cold War event.
The USSR were the first ones who sent a human to the space, rather than U.S that sent a monkey. U.S always were competing with Russia to be the best and #1 in every way.
However even though the Russian were the first ones in everything, at the end U.S finally gained power and became the most powerful country.
The best scene that can make me remember about Cold War, probably it's when U.S sent a monkey to the space first, but then few weeks later, Russia sent a human instead, and that's what made those countries get into a fight, and try to be the ones in the world.

Cuban Missile Crisis
Read the text and view the photos/documents (click on Recon Room for photos) from the website below. Explain the Cuban Missile Crisis. What happened and why is it considered “the hottest moment in the Cold War”? What did Kennedy do to combat the crisis?
Cuban Missile Crisis was the closest approach to nuclear war at any time between the U.S. and the USSR. When the U.S. discovered Soviet nuclear missiles on Cuba, President John F. Kennedy demanded their removal of any kind of weapon, or missile out of the island, an exchange for that U.S won't invade Cuba, so the Soviet leader Khrushchev acceded to the U.S. demands days later.
