Nelson Mandela and Apartheid

Apartheid in Africa meant that it was a policy of segregation of the non-white population. Now Nelson Mandela is such a hero because he fought for the liberation of Africa and unity. But because of that he was put in jail for 27 years but then they let him go because they believed that there was going to be a revolution of the Africans for Nelsons. But in the beginning before he was in prisoned Nelson wanted only to liberate the oppressed (Africans) but during his in presentment he changed his point of view and concluded that he would liberate the oppressed and the oppressor. He concluded that a man that toke the freedom from another man then that person is a prisoner of hatred.

African Independence

Africa changed so much during the 20 year period from 1955 to 1975. The change Africa did was to get Independence. During 1955 the only countries that had there independence were Libya, Egypt, Ethiopia, Union of South Africa and Liberia. All the other countries still did not have there independence. But by 1975 Africa had most of it's countries independence except for Spanish Sahara, South west Africa, Rhodesia and Afars and Issas Terr.

The Cuban Missile Crisis

The Cuban Missile Crisis was consider the hottest moment in the Cold War because that was the day that the U.S and Russia were on the brake of war with nuclear bombs. Also it was that Russia put bombs on Cuba pointed at the U.S and so if the U.S could not harm Russia because Russia had as much atomic bombs as the U.S and could destroy each other, then in turn the U.S pointed there atomic bombs at Cuba. Kennedy did not want an atomic bomb war and so he wanted a peace agreement to not us bombs.
