Mikhail Gorbachev and the collapse of communism.

This blog im going to write about what happened to this guy Mikhail Gorbachev and whatever happened to communism. The thing that happened to communism and why it collapsed its because it failed as an economy for all the people that communist and couldnt no longer compete to other countries who where capitalists becuase they were going ahead of them and escpecially Russia the country that has been communist for over 70 years couldnt no longer keep up with races in the arms races or the space race becuase their econmy was going doooooooown!!!!!!!!!! So this Gorbachev was trying to save the Soviet Union but he Eventually trigered them from breaking up them from communist. The Perestrokia means restructuring like i was saying Mikhail was trying to help the soviet union but he failed. The glasnosts was the time of policy of maximal publicity.

african independence

this blog i will be talking about how the africans got their indepnednece from the white people from the european countries. First i am going to talk about england becuase they where one of the countries that many resources from africa that many countries where freed by their empire. also their was france spain and many others that had control over africa. So what happned was some countries didnt use violence and some countires just didnt know what todo and rampaged and then used non violence to get their independence. then africa little by little the countries where being given their independence so then african countries were freed but then they were so poor becuase they were left alone but with no help at all.
