Neolithic Revolution

The Neolithic Revolution describes the transition from hunting and gathering to agriculture.
In a Hunting and gathering society the primary source of food comes directly from the wild, with no form of domestication. The definition of agriculture "is the process of producing food, fiber,fuel and other goods by the systematic raising of plants and animals". A subsisting farmer is someone who farms a small area with limited resource, and produces only enough food to meet the needs of his family. commercial Intensive agriculture is farming that involves large fields and numbers of animals, large resource, and a high level of mechanization.

The European Union

The European Union consisted of 25 countries. It was a way to stop fighing aginst each other. before the union countries like France and Germany fought each other three times, with terrible loss of life. After this and many other events countries in europe dicided to make the union to preserve long lasting peace.
Now that this 25 countries are bond together economically, politically, socially, and militarily, the chances of these nations going to war again is very little.
Before the Union for travelers to go from one country to and other they need passport check, they also needed to change their money every single time. But after the Union, it was decided to use only Euros which is the current money. today euros are traded more than the the US Dollar.

Cuban Missile Crisis

The US nuclear weapoen were capable of reaching the Russian land, in the other hand Russia's nuclear weapons were not advance enough to reach US from Russia, so they decided to place the nuclear weapons closer to the US. They turn to Cuba which is an island that is very close to the US. Fidel Castro (the President) agree, he thought it was a good way to stop the US from future evasion to Cuba.

Film Lesson:"The Right Stuff"

In the film the right stuff the Russians and the US are competing in who is more advance in space technology. at first the Russians were more advance because they were the firsts to put a man in space, but then the US, put a man on the moon, which made them head in the competition. a scene from the fill that will help me remeber the cold war event is when they were testing the spaceships. Most of the first spaceships would explote, with out even lifting off. this will help me remeber the cold war event because it shows the desperation that the US had for winning the space competition.

NATO and the Warsaw Pact

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) includes countries in Europe and North America. It was created to help defend each other. In case one of the countries gets into a war, all of the other countries that are in NATO will join the fight too. The agreement also helps European nations with economic aide. The Warsaw pact was created in response to NATO. It consisted mostly of the Soviet Union and its satellite countries.
The Soviet Union had control over the alliance. At the end of the 1980s the political scene damaged the organization badly. The USSR started to remove the troops that they had stationed in the other countries that were in the Warsaw Pact.
