Nike missiles (surface to air) that were to be used to shoot down Soviet missiles.

Where in Milwaukee would you have found Nike missiles like these?

You might recognize it as…

A sign of acceleration Sites were constructed in the

mid ‘50s Summerfest site-1956

Objections over cost/effectiveness

Obsolete by 1963 Sites were filled in and either

abandoned or repurposed Mayor Maier envisioned using

the site for festivals First Summerfest in 1970

Example of rapid industrial/technological change

America’s response to threat of second world attacks Fades by the late ‘80s

Africa Context: Had been carved up by European powers

(effects of Berlin Conference) Monoculture-cash crops and mines for diamonds and

precious metals Ownership completely in the hands of Europeans

Protest rumblings begin with a small number of Africans who had often received a European education Why might this be the impetus for change/independence?

All-African People’s Conference-W.E.B Dubois and others meet to talk about independence Fifth conference- 1945-European postwar problems

emboldens many to strike for independence

Examples Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana

Led movement to independence and brought the conference back to Africa

Nigeria-British want to maintain positive relationships, so they support independence and infrastructure improvements Problems: borders drawn arbitrarily Separates related groups, places hostile groups in

proximity to one another Problems with Christian south and Islamic north

Impact of this today?

South Africa Only white ruled country in Africa

AP World History (4/29)

Zionism and the PLO Post WWI mandate system Britain made conflicting promises to both Palestinian Arabs

and Jews Balfour Declaration-committed to support a homeland for

the Jews in Palestine Palestinians consider this yet another form of imperial control WWII-more Jews migrate to escape Nazi Germany Opposing forces-Pan-Arabism and creation of a Jewish

homeland Civil War leads to creation of Israel in 1948

Palestinian Liberation Organization-dedicated to reclaiming this territory Six day War (1967)

Context? What happened during

the Six Day War? How does this impact

both sides (Jew and Arab)?

How does the rest of the world react?

How might this account be biased? Consider the source

Two more perspectives With your group, read

through the different perspectives on the history of the Arab/Israeli conflict

Which side should have the right to claim this territory? Why? Support from secondary

source material Is either side “right”? Why

or why not? Which perspective do you

find most convincing? Why?

AP World History (4/30) Do Now: The following

quote is a reference to what world leader? “Probably one of the

biggest bastards that we ever had in humankind.”

Support your inference with some historical evidence. Hint: he is mentioned

in chapter 21.

Augusto Pinochet (Chile) Came to power in 1973-socialist government overthrown (with

support of CIA) Also supported by business interests, military, and foreign companies (I

wonder why?) By 1988, he'd been Chile's dictator for 15 years, ruling with his

violent military junta. Under his repressive regime, tens of thousands of Chileans were

"disappeared," tortured and killed; hundreds of thousands were forced into exile.

Pinochet bowed to international pressures, Larrain says, and agreed to legitimize his power in the form of a plebiscite. A "Yes" vote would mean, "Yes, I want Pinochet to stay in power." A "No" vote would mean, "I don't want Pinochet in power; I want free elections.“

Excerpts from: http://www.npr.org/2013/02/15/172040656/the-story-of-no-is-the-story-of-modern-chile

Your role You have been hired to run the

"No" campaign a tough assignment: you have to

get people to oppose a leader who had terrorized them for so many years. 

Create a slogan and print ad that includes the following: Slogan Visuals (these should support the

reason WHY you want people to vote NO)

At least two reasons people should vote NO

(for the class only) Explain why your approach is the best way to get people to vote NO

Problems? In the film, the "No" campaign has

to try to convince people like Carmen, a housekeeper, who says she's going to vote yes. She says of all the people who were disappeared, tortured and killed: "Those things are in the past; now, my general says we have democracy."

Rene also faces skepticism from Pinochet's revolutionary opponents, including his recently estranged wife. She tells him that voting in the plebiscite will only validate Pinochet's fraudulent referendum.

56% vote NO: Impact? plebiscite led to the democratic election of

Patricio Aylwin in 1990. Pinochet stayed in power as commander in

chief of the Chilean army, and as a senator for life. He was extradited from London to stand trial for human-rights violations, tax evasion and embezzlement. But his lawyers kept him out of court, arguing he had "mild dementia." Pinochet died in 2006 at the age of 91.

"He died without ever stepping in the courthouse, and [as] a millionaire," Larrain says. "So it's quite sad, because we never really achieved justice. And most of the people who actually killed and tortured others in my country, they are still walking on the street. That is why this issue, the whole human-rights violation issue, is still ... an open wound."
