Wars and Conflicts.
Korean War
Vietnam war
Grenada Invasion
The two Gulf wars
Britain's War of the Falkland Islands
The Hostage Crisis in Iran, the taking of the American Embassy
The Cuban Missile Crisis
Assassinations
Martin Luther King
President John F. Kennedy
Bobby Kennedy
The attempted Assassination of President Reagan
Then you have the cold war itself and all the close calls it brought. The Berlin airlift when the Russians closed of access to Berlin Germany. The Space Race was very much apart of the Cold war as we raced the Russian to the moon.
Out of the space race you have many good things to write and talk about especially in medicine and science. The coming of the jet age and supersonic flight. The Internet, Cell, Phones, MP3s and just about everything you now take for granted can be traced back to our race for space as much of this technology grew out of this race.
I normally do not help with homework assignments but in this case I am because history is today a forgotten subject. History is important for if you wish to move forward you have to know where you have been. This assignment will give you insight to what you may not have learned in school. Do your research and write a good paper as you will learn a lot by doing so. I will be hear and will try to help if you need it. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
