Introduction The paradigms of post-World War II (WWII) global politics bred one of the most complex conflicts in history.

Where were you when Kennedy died? This is a famous question that’s asked to many baby boomers, their parents, and everyone else who was alive to see JFK’s short lived presidency. More famous for his looks, Irish blood and religion than his short list of successes while in office, Kennedy had a chance at redemption (or eternal humiliation) following the failure of the Bay of Pigs operation. This opportunity came with the Cuban Missile Crisis. It’s important to note that the tension wasn’t as…

Introduction The 1950’s saw the birth of rock and roll. Ever since then, rock has not only survived, but thrived. Artists like Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry paved the way for The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, and many others in the 1960s and 1970s. In turn, they made way for the new metal, punk, and grunge artists of the 1980s and 1990s. 1950s jazz, blues, and R&B have served as the basis for eighties and nineties R&B, hip hop, and rap. Pop has continued to develop with the changing minds…

All totaled, the Soviet Union had sent sixty-six missiles to Cuba along with twenty-two thousand troops and technicians.” The soldier who shot the missile didn’t know whose order to follow, Khrushchev’s or…

It was a Sunday afternoon, just like any other, and I was heading to my grandparent’s house. I pulled into their driveway and excitedly jumped from my car and took the path to their backdoor that I always came through. I knocked the usual three knocks, “bang, bang, bang.” I heard their small dog Zack barking, so I knew they must be home. Seconds later, my mema answered the door, very happy to see me. She walked me to the living room where she and Grandpa always sit. It was then that I told my…
