Welcome to Mr. Sha's Class! 
1. In the kitchen of the exhibit’s model house, Nixon and Soviet Prime Minister Nikita Khrushchev began a series of debates on the merits of capitalism and communism. Khrushchev thinks that many things are interesting, looking good or luxurious but they are not needed in life. They have no useful purpose. They are merely gadgets. He is paid more attention to the practicality of things. From there the argument started and he warnings that if either country started a nuclear war, both would be destroyed. Overall The whole debate is full of irony.
2. The U-2 spy plane incident is about in May 1960 when the USSR shot down an American U-2 spy plane in Soviet air space and captured its pilot, but the United States does not recognize that they sent spies, trying to cover up the facts, unfortunately, the Soviet Union found the evidence. But Eisenhower refused to apologize and even listed evidence of Soviet spying in the United States. Khrushchev was very angry and gave up the Paris conference, after that Eisenhower stopped surveillance flights to Russia, therefore the U-2 spy plane incident was affected intelligence gathering.
3. The leaders of the United States and the Soviet Union stalemate in the political and military confrontation because the Soviet Union installed nuclear weapons in Cuba in October 1962, just 90 miles from the United States. Reason for that is because the United States feels a threat to national security, Because the location of nuclear missiles is very close to the United States, once the explosion occurs, the United States will have huge destruction, Some Americans, fearing their country was on the brink of nuclear war, they hoarded food and gas.

4. Khrushchev was a loyal Stalinist, but after Stalin failed he gave a long speech that criticized Stalin for arresting and deporting opponents, for elevating himself above the party and for incompetent wartime leadership, and things like that. that’s what he expected, it succeeds.
5. Emboldened by Khrushchev’s speech, protestors took to the streets in the Soviet satellites of Poland and Hungary.
6. During the nearly five years of his rule, he carried out extensive reforms. The reforms he implemented provided electricity to rural areas and provided free education and health care to all Cubans. Castro ’s communist reform Cuba and the Soviet Union allied. So, people in Cuba like that.
7.long term impact is the wall separated Germany both physically and politically，family members, friends, lovers, schoolmates, work colleagues, and others were separated.
The short-term impact is people cheering for the destruction of the wall. East Germany uses the same currency, and people can cross the border freely. Germany is now a very united country.

8. After World War II, defeated Germany was divided into Soviet, American, British and French zones of occupation. They got different governments and two different ideologies which very close to each other, So, if any fight happens there, World War 3 can simply start from that.
