Film Lesson- "The Right Stuff"

In the movie called "The Right Stuff" the U.S and the USSR were competing to see who can get up into space first. Russia was really winning this race because they put the first to put a man into space. The United States were the first to send a man to the moon so basically it was even between the United States and Russia during the space race.This movie will remind me of the cold war because the movie showed that is was a race to see who could get into space first.

NATO And The Warsaw Pact

The Warsaw Pact was an organazation of central and Eastern European Communist States.This pact consisted mostly of the Soviet Union and its satellite countries. It was established on May 1, 1955 in Poland. Nato was an organazation that includes countries in Europe and North America. The reason for this was that the countries involved wanted a mutual defence alliance so that if one of them were attacked all of the other countries would come to thier side. The Europeans and the Soviet Union formed these organazations so that they would feel that they had help from other countries if needed.
