Artifact 6: NATO
NATOs primary purpose was to unify and strengthen the Western Allies military response to a possible invasion of western Europe by the Soviet Union and its Warsaw Pact allies. In the early 1950s NATO relied partly on the threat of massive nuclear retaliation from the U.S to counter the Warsaw Pacts much larger ground forces. NATO later adopted a flexible response strategy, which the U.S interpreted to mean that a war in Europe did not have to escalate to an all-out nuclear exchange.

Artifact 8:
th 38
Parallel
38th parallel, popular name given to latitude 38 N that in East Asia roughly demarcates North Korea and South Korea. The line was chosen by U.S military planners at the Potsdam Conference near the end of WWII as an army boundary, north of which the U.S.S.R. was to accept the surrender of the Japanese forces in Korea and south of which the Americans were to accept the Japanese surrender. The line was intended as a temporary division of the country, but the onset of the Cold War led to the establishment of a separate U.S.

Artifact 11:Communes
Communes are larger collective farms that the Great Leap Forward called for. By the end of 1958, about 26000 communes had been created. The average commune sprawled over 15000 acres and supported over 25000 people. In the strictly controlled life of the commune, peasants worked the land together. They ate in communal dining rooms, slept in communal dormitories, and http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/61/Peopl e%27s_commune_kitchen.jpg raised children in communal nurseries. And they owed nothing. The peasants had no incentive to Return to Room work hard when only the state profited from their labor.
