Today, we started class by talking about Gadhafi. Gadhafi was a crazed dictator. Coup d'etat was the way that he came to power which means a takeover of the government in 1996. To make sure people did not take over his government he started to kill a lot people that he did not trust, including some democrats and others. Gadhafi was a supporter in terrorism, until 9/11. Yet, recently he has come back to promoting terrorism. He is a very odd person who always seems to act like he is drunk and talks aimlessly. He lives in a tent, to potray to people that he is also like the common class. Also, right now he is on the run and we do not know where he is at. The US has never approved of his rulership. Gadhafi lived very lavishly, while his country, Lybia, was suffering and starting to rebel because of their wants for better opportunities. He refused to step down, so people started revoting. To fire back Gadhafi starting attacking his own people.United Nations - A worldwide peace keeping group that tries to prevent war from taking place. The reason it did not work well at first was because the US was not in it. After WW2 the US joined and the United Nations started to prosper and help wage war against countries that needed help. (other nations inside the United Nations)NATO - North Atlantic Treaty Orgainization: the US's treaty with Europe and Canada. It is the orgainization in going after Gadhafi. The US was involved heavily in the beginging and then several other countries came in and took over after the Us pulled out.We are taking the continents and oceans test today.We got our US states and capitals map. This test will be in around 2 weeks.At the end of class we went over our US states and capitals maps.
