USSR broke apart because many of the people rebelled against them to a point where the government couldn't control the people anymore.The people even teared down the Berlin wall because it was built to prevent people in the east side of Germany to escape communism so like the people didn't want communism they teared it down. In the 1991 the soviet leaders were no longer more and they were kicked out by their own countries.Even Party officials were killed for personal gain, weakening the party.It changed the world because they are barley any communism countries expect for Cuba etc. Also because it was a huge relief to some people.

Nelson Mandela and Apartheid

2010-04-29T08:12:00.001-07:00

Apartheid was an unfair form of government that made black people oppressed in South Africa. They would have to carry identity documents for almost everything they did. They would go to prison if they drank from the wrong water fountain. They would get the death penalty for being with a white girl. They were denied basic human rights. Nelson Mandela along with many others opposed Apartheid in the early 50s and late 60s. He became a famous person very fast because of his work with ANC. However, the South African government threw him in jail for life for sabotage of the government. Twenty-seven long years later, the government came to the conclusion that if Nelson Mandela died in jail, there would no doubt be a revolution where the blood of millions would be spilled. This is why they decided to release Nelson Mandela. Not long after, he finally made Apartheid go away. Later, he became president and served for five years and gained a Nobel Peace Prize. He no doubt prevented a civil war and showed the world the true meaning of peace.
