2. Benazir Bhutto
• Benazir Bhutto was the
daughter of Sindh. She was
extremely bright and had a
talent in debating. She
served as the prime
minister of Pakistan for two
terms. Unfortunately, she
was murdered by Islamists
on December 27, 2007
because they viewed her
as a dangerous symbol of
democracy and
moderation. They had this
view of her because all of
the promises she made
and her bombasts.

3. Gandhi
• Mohandas Karamchand
Gandhi was a very important
man in history. One of his most
important actions was the Salt
March he led in March of 1930.
Thousand of people joined
Gandhi on this 241 mile march.
He chose salt because it
affected all of the Indians. He
felt that salt was a necessity of
life along with air and water
and that it is one of the only
condiments that the poor have.
When they arrived at the
beach, “Gandhi picked up a
handful of salt on the beach,
challenging the prohibition
against the collection or sale of
salt except by the colonial
authorities” (Kaplan, pg. 95).

4. NATO
• The North Atlantic
Treaty Organization
(NATO) was one of the
most successful
alliance’s throughout
history. The U.S. led the
NATO because it was
directly threatened by
the Soviet Union. This
short part on this
alliance really grasped
my attention because
the NATO is so famous
because of its
domination and
success.

5. From Torture to
Improvement
• When Augusto Pinochet became
leader in 1973, he did a horrible thing.
He tortured and murdered thousands
of people. He eventually created an
economic dynamo which in turn
benefited the entire country. In 1989
at Tiananmen Square, hundreds of
students were massacred by Deng
Xiaoping. He “then went on to
improve the quality of life of more
people in a shorter time than perhaps
ever in economic history” (Kaplan, pg.
107). Both of these cases completely
shocked me because it is
unbelievable how a person can do
something so horrible, then turn right
around to do something so great.
