Quarter 3 exam#3

1. It was significant because there would be to much going on right now and with the country already in debt it would just put all of us in debt even more. I also think that it would have been harder for any other president to end it because they would not have all of the knowledge in trying to end it. Ronald Reagan stopping it when he did was a good thing because he knew what to do he was around when the war began and knew the other sides weakness so it was easier for him to stop it then any one else.
He ended the war and all was good things went back to normal well as normal as it could be with the war just ending. He basically got to them and attacked he hit them good and he hit them all at once. Basically it took all of what they had but they got through it and ended up winning it in the end.
I think that this description is accurate because he tried all he could to get the war to end sooner. He was a hard worker trying to get everyone home and tried not to get any one else injured or even worse have someone die.

2. One of the scandals was the hostage scandal. This scandal was when there 52 Americans were taken and held in Iran for 444 days. These Americans were men, women and children. They were blind folded at all times and did not get much food or water. They were important because there were 52 of them taken and America wanted them back and where they were not hurt in was amazing.
They were taken because of money they wanted money and lots of it. They were being held at ransom for like 8 billion dollars. The Americans that were taken were trying to get free but hey couldn't. The people in America were trying to figure out how to get them back without giving them the money. They wanted to get over there and do a sneak attack but hey had to figure out a way to get over there and not be heard so no one will get hurt.
Like they could never mind the hostages and let them die. They could just give they the money, but if they do that they could be called chickens for not fighting. They also could just go over in a sneak attack but they would have to be very quite because one wrong move could get someone killed.

3. The Hostage crisis, Watergate scandal, Cold war. These were hard to understand because why did they happen. Why would someone want to kidnap people? Why would people want to break in the white house? Why did the cold war happen? The only reason those people were taken was because of money. Did they want money that bad they would seriously try to kid nap people? The hostage crisis was very serious but now there are people that say what was the hostage crisis because they have never heard about it before.
The Watergate scandal was when five individuals broke into the Watergate Hotel in Washington. They were convicted as well. There was seven but the other two were convicted for the conspiracy. The break in was actually good because it found otu the dirty tricks that were going on there.
The cold war was closed by Ronald Reagan. Nixon did help lead it though they both were a good asset to the war.
