The Communism collapse in Eastern Europe and the USSR because A stunning series of events between 1989 and 1991 that led to the fall of communist regimes in eastern Europe and the Soviet Union.

Nelson Mandela and Apartheid

Racial-segregation policy of the government of South Africa from 1948 to 1994. Under the apartheid system, nonwhites-classified as Bantu colored , or Indian-did not share full rights of citizenship with the white minority. In the wake of these violent acts of repression international pressure for the overturning of South Africa's racial policies grew, and in October 1989 President de Klerk permitted antiapartheid demonstrations. When Nelson Mandela walked out of prison on Feb. 11, 1990, South Africa's future walked with him. A lesser man would have felt justified in calling for a violent upheaval to bring down the white supremacist government. Anger is a powerful emotion and Mandela had reason to call for revenge. He had spent 27 years in prison, 18 of them on Robben Island, an inhospitable chunk of rock sitting in the cold Atlantic, off the coast of Cape Town.

African Independence

Africa changed so much in the 20 year time spand because mostly every year a new country was added to Africa. Patrice Lumumba became the nation’s first prime minister, He ruled a divided country.

Night and Fog

Some of my reactions to Night and Fog were that i was so shock and speechless i think that movie was very powerful and awful. Schindler's List compared to Night and fog is nothing because like in Night and fog they show way more and many more useful information and in Schindlers list like they tell you somethings but they dont really cause basically they only tell you and show you things they can, but like in night and fog its a documentary so they tell you way more details and show a lot more in the movie.

Schindler's List

Well Schindler's list illustrated the Holocaust by showing what happen in it and all the sad events that took place. The most powerful Scene in Schindler's to me was the The liquidation of the Krakow ghetto, i think it was the most powerful scene in the movie because one it was very sad and it showed all the Jews getting taken out there homes and some of the Jews even ate there jewelry so the Germans wont take it away. Some of the Jews even hid and made hidden rooms so they couldnt be found. One of the images that will stay with me is when they took the oldman and just killed him because he couldnt shovel the snow that was just un called for. To me "Night and Fog" was way more powerful cause they showed way more mess up images and people getting killed. "Night and Fog" had way more details into it also.
