  14. Billy Joel has a strong interest in history. "I'm a history nut. I devour history books. At one time I wanted to be a history teacher.“ --------------------------------- “I had turned forty. It was 1989 and I said "Okay, what's happened in my life?" I wrote down the year 1949. Okay, Harry Truman was president. Popular singer of the day, Doris Day. China went Communist. Another popular singer, Johnnie Ray. Big Broadway show, South Pacific. Journalist, Walter Winchell. Athlete, Joe DiMaggio. Then I went on to 1950... It's one of the worst melodies I've ever written. I kind of like the lyrics though.”

  17. Post-WWII Era: The Cold War • The Cold War describes the tense and hostile relationship between the Soviet Union and the U.S. between 1945 and 1992. The communist government of the Soviet Union wanted to convert other countries to communism. The U.S. pledged to support free countries, or basically any country supporting capitalism, so they could resist communism. Both countries had nuclear weapons and were capable of launching a nuclear war. • Other countries took sides in this international conflict. Many Western European countries sided with the U.S. to form NATO (National Atlantic Treaty Organization) in 1949. Eastern European countries signed the Warsaw Pact and formed an alliance with the Soviet Union.
