NATO was created because the countries of Western Europe were to weak after the war to stop communist from spreading and so the Western Europe went and allied them self's with other nations. The countries that were in NATO were Western Europe, 12 nations, the United Kingdom and the United States. NATO was an organization that was made up of countries in Europe and North America that were in an agreement of peace and that the U.S would protect all the countries that were in NATO against any communist country.
The Warsaw Pact was formed of communist military alliances so they could maintain power over Eastern Europe and also the Warsaw Pact was formed in respond to the creation of NATO. The Warsaw Pact was made up of communist countries but mostly the leader was Russia.

Film Lesson: "The Right Stuff"
The U.S and the U.S.S.R competed by seeing who had better technology then the other one had by building better atomic bomb or who ruled space. The U.S was the one who had ruled the sky so now the U.S.S.R wanted to rule space and the U.S.S.R did rule space for a wail because the U.S had not even built a satellite like the Russians. In this competition the U.S.S.R was wining because the U.S.S.R were the first to put a satellite in space and then the first to put a man in space. But not the first to put the first man to be on the moon. Some scenes from the film that will help me remember the Cold War event will be when the U.S had meeting's and discussed the technology of U.S.S.R and there own.

Film Lesson: "Schindler's LIst"
The scene that were more impacting on me was the scene were the little girl with a red coat was walking the street's alone when the Nazis were taking all the Jew's to the concentration camp, and then later when the Nazis are burning the "evidence" the Jew's also when Schindler saw the little girl with the red coat dead on a pile or other dead Jew's and being ready to be thrown in to the burning pile of dead Jew's. Also what was interesting about the movie was that it showed that Schindler a Nazi was actually good to the Jew's.

Film Lesson: "Night and Fog"
Some of my reactions about the movie was that the Nazis were very bad people not only bad but the had no heart because of the way they treated the Jew's. What bothered me was the way the adults influenced the children to hate the Jew's when the Jew's did nothing wrong to them.
The film "Night and Fog" was more powerful then the film "Schindler's List" but only at the part with the dead body's and the corpse the evil and that is all. I think that the documentary version would illustrate the Holocaust more effectively then the Hollywood version. Why because the Hollywood version is just a bunch of actors acting the part that they were assigned and in truth they are not being treated like what really happen to the Jew's or are felling like what the Jew's were felling at that time because the actors now that there just acting that nothing really bad will happen to them.
