3. Khrushchev, how could you call for peaceful co-existence with the west? How could you capitulate in the Cuban Missile Crisis? Mao, this Treaty of Friendship and Alliance is over!

4. China’s Cultural Revolution Begins in 1965

5. The aim of the Cultural Revolution was to attack the Four Olds-- old ideas, old culture, old customs, and old habits--in order to bring the areas of education, art and literature in line with Communist ideology. Anything that was suspected of being feudal or bourgeois was to be destroyed.

8. Many young Chinese were enthusiastic about the prospect of "being politically influential at such a young age." With Little Red Books in their hands, squads of Red Guards formed and began to go from house to house looking for potential elements of corruption, which sometimes included teachers, relatives, and then their own families. The accusations against their opponents sometimes became ridiculous as well. Punishments could be exceptionally cruel. The number of people who perished during the period was estimated by some to be in the millions.

15. Détente: a French term, meaning a relaxing or easing; the term has been used in international politics since the early 1970s. Generally, it may be applied to any international situation where previously hostile nations not involved in an open war "warm up" to each other and threats de-escalate. However, it is primarily used in reference to the general reduction in the tension between the Soviet Union and the United States and a thawing of the Cold War, occurring from the late 1960s until the start of the 1980s.

16. SALT (Strategic Arms Limitation Talks) • Refers to two rounds of bilateral talks and corresponding treaties between the U.S. and U.S.S.R on the issue of the type and number of arms each side could have • SALT I (1969 – 1972) leads to the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty (ABM Treaty). This treaty allows for each side to one ABM missile site

17. In 2002, President George W. Bush withdrew the United States from the ABM Treaty

18. SALT II (1972 – 1979) • A second round of talks between the U.S. and Soviet Union • Purpose of Salt II was mutual restraint in terms of nuclear weapon development • The SALT II Treaty would have provided for each country to maintain an equal amount of launchers of nuclear weapons and a ban on certain launchers • The SALT II Treaty was completed in 1979. However, the U.S. Senate never ratifies the treaty. Regardless, President Carter vows that the U.S. will follow the treaty in principle.

25. Salvador Allende

26. On September 11, 1973, the Chilean military overthrew president Salvador Allende, General Augusto Pinochet exploited the situation to seize total power and establish an anti-communist military dictatorship which lasted until 1990. • While U.S. government hostility to the Allende regime is unquestioned, the U.S. role in the coup itself remains a controversial matter. Documents declassified during the Clinton Administration show that the U.S. government and the CIA had sought the overthrow of Allende in 1970, immediately after he took office but claims of their direct involvement in the actual coup are neither proven nor contradicted by publicly available documentary evidence; many potentially relevant documents still remain classified. Regarding Pinochet's rise to power, the CIA undertook a comprehensive analysis of its records and individual memoirs as well as conducting interviews with former agents, and concluded in a report issued in 2000 that the CIA "did not assist Pinochet to assume the Presidency." In a 2003 interview on the U.S. television, U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell was asked about why the United States saw itself as the "moral superior" in the Iraq conflict, citing the Chilean coup as an example of U.S. intervention that went against the wishes of the local population. Powell responded: "With respect to your earlier comments about Chile in the 1970s and what happened with Mr. Allende, it is not a part of American history that we're proud of." Chilean newspapers hailed the news as the first time the U.S. government had conceded a role in the affair.

Over 3,000 people disappeared during his rule. Tens-of-thousands more fled the country. Bachelet herself was tortured before being sent to exile in Australia. He was the most notorious and ruthless of Latin American dictators during the Cold War era

Today the excesses of his government are widely blamed for causing the deaths of up to three million Cambodians.
