I think they didn't get along because they had contradicting beliefs, and both believed that they were right and the other was wrong. The Yooks used weapons to fight off the #|Zooks, until they one day acted upon them by destroying their ways of #|fighting. When the #|Zooks destroyed the Yooks' weapons and the Yooks came up with more dangerous ones, intended to get revenge. From there, both sides fought #|back with equal force, which was causing the conflict to worsen because each of the sides wanted the #|victory for themselves and kept continuing to engage in the conflict with more intense measures. One always thinks they are right and the other is always wrong in a situation, and when one starts and instigates even more; the other will do the same. This causes more conflict and more ways to aggravate the other to get #|back at them. Also when one wins #|continuously, the other is too stubborn to give up and let that person for another time. The Zooks and Yooks could have #|agreed on their differences with their beliefs from the beginning, and carried on without conflict or problems with the other's beliefs. It would have prevented all the further conflict that came with their disagreements with one another. Yooks: "our hearts are true, our cause is just" "squeeze it even tighter" (torment even more) - nuclear #|weapon to put on the Zooks It was an ongoing battle to have revenge on the other side, and to prove that each side always thinks they were the right ones. But when one side fought, the other fought #|back with equal force, causing the force to become greater and greater each time. Both sides would eventually #|agree to #|disagree with the differences of the other, and #|carry on without conflict and the use of #|violence(without dropping their nuclear weapons), because at the end of the day #|fighting with one another isn't going to change the beliefs of your opponent. If anything, adding to the problem #|will make them even more eager and determined to prove their point and #|express their beliefs, so agreeing to disagree would be the #|best policy.

The Korean War:



** Content Questions **:


 * How did the Korean War turn into a Cold War Conflict? **
 * The Korean was also considered the young cold war conflict, that became a part of the war when Stalin sent supplies to the Korean area. This involvement coined the name.


 * Why did the Korean War not lead to world war? **
 * The Korean War did not turn into a world war because it wasn't a war, but a dictatorship problem; and confined Korea only. The United States, their allies(supporters of S. Korea), Communist China, and Soviet Russia didn't want it to escalate out of the Korea peninsula; and the United States, Soviet Russia and Communist China were cautious about not allowing the Korean war spiral out of control.

 * North and South Korea were supported by external powers and the conflict expanded, becoming a proxy war in the Cold War.


 * __ Guide Sheet Korean War Movie: __**




 * __Opener:__**


 * Do you believe the Korean War was a Civil War or a Proxy war (war that results when opposing powers use third powers as subtitles for fighting each other directly)?
 * Three pieces of evidence from movie to support your claim

I believe that the Korean War was a Proxy war because the US was allies with South Korea and the Soviets were allies with North Korea, so they didn't fight one another directly. They never fought face to face, and proxy means "in place of"- (South Korea in place of US & North Korea in the place of the Soviets)...was a third party substitute. They all had nuclear weapons, and a face to face battle could lead to major problems.

 * __Important Points From Poll:__**
 * I thought that the first most important point from the poll was that more than 50% of Americans felt that it was not worth fighting in Korea,in all four months that the poll was given. I find it interesting how more than half of Americans believed that the fighting was not worth it, but it was still something that would occur and cause the death of their soldiers; and the loss of their country's <span style="background-color: transparent !important; background-position: initial initial !important; background-repeat: initial initial !important; border: none !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif !important; font-size: 13px !important; font-style: normal !important; font-variant: normal !important; font-weight: normal !important; height: auto !important; line-height: 19px !important; margin: 0px !important; min-height: 0px !important; min-width: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; text-decoration: underline !important; vertical-align: baseline !important; width: auto !important;">[[image:http://solidsaving-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png height="19"]] as they continued.
 * The second most important thing I observed through the poll provides a support to the fact that more than half of the Americans didn't agree with the fighting occurring in Korea, and didn't <span style="background-color: transparent !important; background-position: initial initial !important; background-repeat: initial initial !important; border: none !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif !important; font-size: 13px !important; font-style: normal !important; font-variant: normal !important; font-weight: normal !important; height: auto !important; line-height: 19px !important; margin: 0px !important; min-height: 0px !important; min-width: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; text-decoration: underline !important; vertical-align: baseline !important; width: auto !important;">[[image:http://solidsaving-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png height="19"]] . It had been said that 69% of Americans agreed to sign an agreement to end the fighting occurring in Korea, which is proof to the fact that more than half of their country didn't agree with what was happening.
 * I think the last most important part of the poll is the fact that it was almost equal in opinion as to whether taking strong steps would be great risk versus not much risk at all, because it is interesting to know that there is almost a balanced opinion on major steps impacting.

Cuban Missile Crisis:
 * __Notes on Advisers & Intelligence Estimates:__**

[]

I would choose Option #2 which was to open direct negotiations with Khrushchev asking that the missiles be withdrawn. I have made this choice based upon the fact that “most of” my “advisers believed that negotiations should take place”, which gives me support on the decision I make; and a higher percentage of supporters on the behalf of my decision I believe that negotiation should be the first step taken in this situation, because if we are able to solve this without violence; then we should do so. If this does not cause them to remove the missiles, then force can be warned upon them. When we warn force upon them, should they choose to not remove the missiles, we will act with the warned force. We will not do this to create war, but to defend ourselves in favor of the protection of our people and our country.
