Film Lesson: "The Right Stuff"

The Cold War was describes as the control competition and hostility that developed between US and USSR. During WII the USSR were the US alliance, however after the World War II they were no longer alliances they were enemies. The US hate communism and the Russia are communism, while the US is capitalism. In the film the US and the USSR were competing about who is going first to space. The USSR was always more ahead then the US the USSR went to space first. However then the US went to the moon, which made them more ahead, the US was winning the competition. Some scenes from the film that will help me remember about the cold war events is when the launch the ship up into space and when they try so many times and some of the time the mission failed. Also they send monkey into space first instead of humans because they were scared of the humans dying. However this made US look bad because the Russia went to space and didn't send monkeys they send humans. Another scene is when they were trying to get the plane much more further and they accomplish it. The Cold War their wasn't violence just a lot of talking.

NATO and The Warsaw Pact

After World War II the countries of Western Europe found themselves very weak politically and military to prevent more communist.Nato is an organization that has to do with countries such as Europe and North America. NATO stands for the The North Atlantic Treaty Organization. The reason was Nato was for alliance, so if one country of their alliance was attacked then the other countries will come and aide.In 1950 the NATO got into a agreement with the US to protect other members. The headquarters are in Brussels Belgium and the organization constitutes is a system of collective defense. Very little time passed before they realized that Western Europe turn to a more inclusive North Atlantic Treaty, which was a agreenment that was 12 nations and plus the United Kingdom and the United states. Then after the treaty of North Atlantic treaty was signed April 4, 1949. Western Europe power relied on the massive nuclear arsenal of the United States to deter a Soviet ground invasions. The NATO was then transformed from a military force to a political force
. Six years after the NATO then came the Warsaw Pact (originally Warsaw Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation, and Mutual Assistance) which is a form of communist military aliance to maintain power over the Eastern Europe. Now the Soviet Union gained control over Europe nations and it was a major military and political force. After many democratic revolutions within the Warsaw Pact it was labeled "nonexistent" in 1991.
