Event #1  Truman Doctrine: Count on Me - Bruno Mars 

# data[].attributes.body
The Truman Doctrine was a foreign policy, this policy was put in place by President Harry S. Truman in 1947, thus giving it the name "Truman" Doctrine. This policy pledged the United States would support fellow democratic nations under the threat of authoritarian regimes. The main focus of the doctrine was to counter the spread of communism, especially concerning the soviet union and their communist campaigns during the Cold War.

The song I linked to the Truman Doctrine was Bruno Mar's, Count on Me made in 2010. The most memorable lyric in the song is, "You can count on me like 1,2,3 ill be there". The way this relates to the Truman Doctrine is because just like Bruno Mars says he'll be there quickly the U.S. was there quickly when a democratic nation was under threat to communism influence. Another lyric is "We'll find out what we're made of. When we are called to help our friends in need". This relates to Turkey and Greece, aided financially as well as military help under the Truman Doctrine. This connects well with the lyrics because the U.S. is helping its friends Turkey and Greece when they require help.

Event #2 Berlin Blockade: Movin Out - Billy Joel 

# data[].attributes.body
The Berlin Blockade was an important event during the early stages of the Cold War. This event started in 1948 and was the Soviet Union's attempt at blocking Allied access to West Berlin. This blockade was a response to the introduction of the Deutsche Mark (German Currency) in West Berlin by the Western Allies. This was viewed as threatening to the Soviet's control over East Germany.

The song I linked to the Berlin Blockade was Billy Joel's, Movin Out made in 1977. The main idea of the song is breaking free from a difficult situation and pursuing a better life, this ties into the desire for freedom and self-determination that was at the heart of the Berlin Blockade. Throughout the song, the most important lyric and even title of the song is, "Movin' Out". As said before represents the desire to seek better living conditions in Berlin after the Soviets cut around 2.5 Million civilians in the three western sectors of Berlin off from access to electricity, as well as food, coal, and other crucial supplies. Another lyric in this song is, "It seems such a waste of time If that's what it's all about". Now this can accurately represent the thoughts of Berlin civilians because what was the point in living in harsh living conditions under the control of the Soviet Union therefore seen as a waste of time, so they moved out and sought a better life.

Event #3 NATO: Come Together - The Beatles 

# data[].attributes.body
The NATO or North Atlantic Treaty Organization pact, established in 1949, was a crucial post-World War II military alliance formed by Western European and North American countries. Its main purpose was to provide collective defense against the perceived threat of aggression by the Soviet Union and its Eastern European allies during the Cold War era.

The song I linked to the forming of NATO was Come Together by the Beatles. One lyric in this song is "Come together, right now". This relates to NATO because it is basically what happened and why they needed to form together. After all, if they didn't "Come together" their defense would not be as strong against the Soviet Union and overall communist parties. Another Lyric is "One thing I can tell you is you got to be free". This can be linked to countries under the influence of communism and NATO pact wanting to take them down.

Event #4 CIA coupe in Guatemala: Coupe - Pop smoke 

# data[].attributes.body
The 1954 CIA coupe in Guatemala, known as Operation PBSUCCESS, was a covert operation by the United States to overthrow the democratically elected President Jacobo Árbenz due to his land reform policies that threatened American business interests, particularly the United Fruit Company. Fearing the spread of communism during the Cold War, the CIA used propaganda, and economic pressure, and armed a small rebel force led by Carlos Castillo Armas to create the illusion of a large anti-communist uprising.

The song that I linked to the CIA coupe in Guatemala was Pop Smoke's song Coupe, made in 2021. Although the meanings of the word coupe are different in the song and the event, my example is a play on words. And because coupe can refer to a coupe de ta, and the song is about aggression on someone. One lyric is "Point him out and I'm attacking" This relates because the U.S. pointed out a potential threat to the United Fruit Companies' business, in this case, it was Guatemalan leader Arbenz.

Event #5 WARSAW Pact:  You've got a friend in me- Randy Newman 

# data[].attributes.body
The Warsaw Pact was a military alliance made in 1955, by the Soviet Union and seven other Eastern European countries in response to the formation of NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) by Western powers. It was created as a counterbalance to NATO and served as a collective defense treaty among its member states. The founding members of the Warsaw Pact included the Soviet Union, Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, etc..

The song I linked to the Warsaw Pact was Randy Newman's, You've Got a Friend in Me made in 1995. In the lyric, "You've got a friend in me". The significance was to counteract the previously made NATO agreement, the Soviet Union had to gain allies to become stronger. In this case, the other countries the Warsaw Pact had a friend in The Soviet Union, so they formed together. Another impactful lyric is "If you've got troubles, I've got 'em too". This can relate to when a communist country was in trouble, some other communist countries would make it their problem too, and help out. One example is from the Korean War where the communist part of North Korea was backed by Communist China.

Event #6 Suez Crisis: Power - Kanye West 

# data[].attributes.body
The Suez Crisis of 1956, also known as the Second Arab-Israeli War, was a diplomatic and military conflict started after Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal, previously controlled by British and French interests. In response, Israel invaded the Sinai Peninsula on October 29, followed by Britain and France launching military operations to seize the canal under the pretext of restoring order. The conflict ended with the withdrawal of the invading forces and the deployment of a United Nations peacekeeping force, marking a significant moment in post-World War II geopolitics and decolonization.

The song I picked for the Suez Crisis is Power by Kanye West made in 2010. One lyric that represents the Suez Crisis is, "I'm fighting for custody, With these responsibilities they entrusted me". This relates because the Suez Crisis can pretty much be seen as a custody battle for control over the Suez Canal. In this case, it was originally controlled by Britain and France and then Ireael invaded to take over the canal.

Event # 7 Cuban Missile Crisis:  Threat - Jay Z 

# data[].attributes.body
The Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 was a 13-day confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union over Soviet nuclear missiles placed in Cuba. After U.S. Intel discovered the missile sites, President John F. Kennedy imposed a naval blockade around Cuba and demanded the removal of the missiles. This standoff brought the world to the brink of nuclear war, but it was resolved when the Soviet Union, led by Premier Nikita Khrushchev, agreed to dismantle the missile sites in exchange for a U.S. promise not to invade Cuba and a secret agreement to remove U.S. missiles from Turkey. The crisis highlighted the dangers of the Cold War and led to improved communication between the superpowers.

The song that I linked the the Cuban Missile Crisis is Threat by Jay Z made in 2003. When the U.S. found out about missiles in Cuba it imposed a threat on Americans. One lyric is, "I'll send them boys at ya", which relates to the Cuban missile crisis because at the end of the event they agreed to not have a missile war if the U.S. did not invade Cuba which is like the president sending his boys to Cuba. Another lyric is "I make 'em wait for you 'til five in the morning". This reinforces the idea that if Cuba had kept the missiles the U.S. would not let them get away with it and wouldn't stop until they invaded Cuba or started a nuclear war.

Event #8 Cultural Revolution: Someone Like You - Adele 

# data[].attributes.body
The Cultural Revolution was a period in China when Chairman Mao Zedong urged young people to rebel against old traditions and ideas to make the country more communist. It led to widespread chaos, violence, and the persecution of many people seen as against the government. Schools closed, and many cultural artifacts were destroyed. It lasted from 1966 to 1976.

The song I linked to the Cultural Revolution in China was Adele's Somone Like You made in 2011. One lyric that relates to the Cultural Revolution is "Don't forget me, " I begged". This can correlate to China getting rid of old traditions and forgetting about them. So this lyric could be the personification of old Chinese traditions saying don't leave me behind. Another lyric is "Only yesterday was the time of our lives". This could represent how in the past and with their old traditions China used to be a thriving and powerful civilization with low problems.

Event #9 Yom Kippur War: HiiiPower - Kendrick Lamar 

# data[].attributes.body
The Yom Kippur War, occurring in 1973, was a significant conflict between Israel and an alliance of Arab states, primarily Egypt and Syria, aiming to regain territories lost during the previous Six-Day War in 1967. Launched on the Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur and the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, the surprise attacks initially caught Israeli forces off guard, resulting in significant territorial gains for the Arab forces. However, Israel eventually regrouped and launched counteroffensives, leading to a ceasefire mediated by the United Nations. The war prompted renewed peace efforts in the region, notably culminating in the Camp David Accords in 1978 between Egypt and Israel, underscoring its lasting impact on the Arab-Israeli conflict and Middle Eastern geopolitics.

The song I chose for the Yom Kippur War was HiiiPower by Kendrick Lamar in 2011. One lyric is, "I don't want no plastic nation". This can relate to the Arab states wanting significant territory so that they can be a stronger country and not a plastic one, where a plastic country can represent a weak one that can break easily.

Event #10 Berlin Wall Falling: Happy Xmas- John Lennon

# data[].attributes.body
The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, was a historic event symbolizing the end of the Cold War and the division between East and West Germany. Prompted by political changes in the Soviet Union, widespread protests in East Germany, and a botched announcement by an East German official about relaxed travel restrictions, thousands of East Berliners surged to the Wall. Overwhelmed border guards opened the gates, allowing people to cross freely, leading to jubilant celebrations and the physical dismantling of the Wall. This pivotal moment paved the way for German reunification and marked a significant step towards the collapse of communist regimes in Eastern Europe.

The song I linked to the Berlin Wall falling is Happy Xmas by John Lennon made in 1971. The main chorus in this song goes "War is over", this relates to the Berlin wall falling

because this event marks the end of the Cold War. Thus stating the war is over. Another lyric is "Let's stop the fight". This also reinforces the idea of the end of a war telling people to stop fighting because the war is over.
