My superpower

During the cold war i really want the U.S. to win. One reason is that is where i live and the other is that we are huge and can't be beaten by communists. Afterall that is what we are fighting to stop. The U.S. has many resources to use and if we lost it would look bad. The U.S. needed to win

This war going on in 2010 is kind of like the cold war and in some ways is not. The war on terror is just as suspensful as the cold war. You never know when the next bomb will go off or who will send it off. Many are dieing and fight against it. This war is vs. Iraq and the U.S. This war and the cold war are very similar exept now it is more technologically advanced.

The Korean war was between north korea and south korea. It started when south korea invaded north korea. This war provided the first confrontation between the nuclear powers. Kim il sung invaded south korea because he was reassured that he would get back up from the soveit union leader, Stalin. This war was not a very long war but was still an important incident in history.

The U.S. created these airplanes thast they could fly over enemy territory to take pictures of their activity. sthese plane could not be detected over radar so they were very stealthy. Truman authurized the flight of these planes. he wanted to take picture of the activity concerning the missles in cuba placed there by Castro. These misslies were very large and could reach the U.S. in just five minutes. They were planning a strike to take out all of the missles in cuba at the same time. After some conincing and planning and talking the Soviet union finally removed the missles, but in turn we would have to remoe our missles in turkey.
