Truman Doctrine

# data[].attributes.body
The Truman Doctrine was an economic aid policy. President Harry S. Truman wanted to give support to any countries that were resisting communism. In the end, around $400m was given to Greece and Turkey. This policy is similar to the Marshall Plan, but the only difference is that America did the Marshall Plan to show that they have lots of money. I picked the song called flex up by Lil Yachty and Future. The lyric that I chose is “flex up, stretch out, big bands” because it shows the money that they had and how they were able to kind of flex on other states. When it says stretch out it can match how they stretched out their hand to lend money to other states

NATO

# data[].attributes.body
NATO is a treaty to give support to different countries that need help, and they also help other NATO countries/Members if they are in conflict.

“They don't like us.” I picked this song because when Kendrick says “not like us,” I could relate this to NATO because you could say this to Russia. After all, they were not like us as they weren't in NATO.

Event #4 CIA Coup in Iran | Star Wars- The Imperial March

# data[].attributes.body
The CIA Coup in Iran is an Event That is where they overthrew the democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh. The operations were organized by the British Intelligence agency and the CIA.

picked “Star Wars- The Imperial March” Because it when the dark side takes over which I think fits the The Event in history very well because when the dark side was taking over it was kinda like them getting a new leader in a way so thats why I think the Star wars theme song is good for the history event CIA Coup in Iran.

Domino Theory

# data[].attributes.body
The Domino Theory was when they thought one country would fall if one would became communist, other countries would follow them into communism.

“Take me down like I’m a domino.” I chose this song because of the domino theory, which is talking about if one country falls (domino), then the others would follow and become communist as well.

Event #6 Title CIA coup in guatemala | the flowers of guatemala

# data[].attributes.body
After a dictatorship was taking place in Guatemala, a new leader named Jacob Arbenz was appointed as the president. The bad thing was that Arbenz would use a lot of communist police like for example, he would give already owned land to landless farmers, but that affected the United Fruit Company. Arbenz was also letting in former communists into political positions. The CIA teamed with Castillo Armas as an anti-Arbenz person, and eventually, after the CIA used many different methods, they finally made Jacob Arbenz step down from being president, and he was replaced with Castillo Armas. I picked this song because it talks about the events of unnecessary military violence that was taking place in Guatemala. The lyric that I chose was “the flowers cover everything” because it can relate to how flowers grew over the graves of all the many people that lost their lives due to the military regimes violence in Guatemala. It just is trying to address the US enforced military violence in Guatemala during the cold war

Vietnam War (1955–1975)

# data[].attributes.body
The Vietnam War was a civil war in Vietnam regarding the south, which was not communist and supported by the US, and the north, which was communist and supported by the Soviet Union. This war lasted approximately 20 years.

“They're some two-faced n**** they got two sides”. I chose this song because Nick Grant is discussing two sides, referring to the two distinct aspects of the Vietnam War: the South and the North.

Space Race (1957–1975)

# data[].attributes.body
The Soviet Union was the first to send a satellite to space. The stalelight  called “Sputnik”, got send into Earth's orbit. This event started the "space race" because the United States quickly responded by also launching a satellite to space, leading to a competition to see who could do it better and faster.

I did the race (skrrt, skrrt). I picked this song because I like the song, and it goes through his hardships and how his life was a race.

Great Leap Forward (1958–1962)

# data[].attributes.body
The Great Leap Forward was when people in China, who were mainly peasants, had their land taken away from the state, and then they were put into communities and couldn't do anything about it. This made it so they couldn't get enough food, and 56 million people died from these challenges from famine because they were not fed.

“Feast like a beast.” I chose this song. It relates to famine and the Great Leap Forward because it emphasizes that you need to eat, and they are not getting the food they need, as they are malnourished in China.

warsaw pact

# data[].attributes.body
The Warsaw Pact was created in response to West Germany joining NATO. The Warsaw Pact was almost like when a little sibling copies something that you did, but they do it poorly. It was also created to help protect the soviet union from NATO, but it was also used to maintain control over its member states. But this all ended when the soviet union fell. I chose this song because it quite literally relates to  the events of the warsaw pact. This song by joy division was named after david bowies song also called warsaw. David Bowie's version was an instrumental but it was giving a feeling of all the destroyed buildings due to the violence. The lyric i chose is “all this talk made no contact” because it kind of relates to the cold war and how it was a silent war and more of a race but there was never really an actual all out war

Berlin Wall (1961–1989)

# data[].attributes.body
Lots of people in East Germany wanted to move to West Germany, so they began building fences and started to put up guards so people wouldn't be able to leave East Germany.

I picked the song Wind of Change because when I was researching, I saw that this song was about change and the Berlin Wall, and I thought this was a good thing to put on my project. I like this sound because it expresses change and how he says “In the wind of change” means that there will be change that happens soon, and it did happen soon in like in the Berlin Wall, change happened.

event #12 the Cuban missile crisis | song: A hard rains gonna fall

# data[].attributes.body
The Cuban Missile Crisis was considered one of the most intense parts of the Cold War. This took place in October 1962 when the soviet union was constructing missiles inside Cuba. This was not a good look for Cuba.. The US and the soviet union both agreed not to use their weapons of mass destruction on each other.

The song lyric “it's a hard rain's gonna fall” matches this event because it's talking about the possibility that something very bad is coming. And I feel like this song captures and expresses a sort of uncertainty with relates to the uncertainty and fear of all the civilians when they didn't know whether or not there would be an all-out bomb war.
