The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
What political changes did Castro implement?
- Castro had broken with most of his allies over the issue of free elections, erected a one-party state, implemented the first stages of a Soviet-style command economy, and turned to the USSR for essential foreign aid.
- Political dissent, press freedoms, foreign ownership of established business enterprises and landed estates - all were forbidden by the ruling junta.
What did the "Cuban Missile Crisis" bring about?
- What is clear is that the subsequent "Cuban Missile Crisis" brought the world's two superpowers to the edge of nuclear war a short 17 years after the defeat of Nazism in Europe.
- With the Cuba platform, America's major cities would now be vulnerable to a direct Soviet nuclear strike. In October the US began an air and naval blockade of Cuba and insisted that existing Soviet technology on the island be withdrawn.
How did the Cuban Missile Crisis end?
- After a tense week of threats and counter-threats, and with 19 American warships prepared to stop and board Russian cargo ships traveling across the Atlantic en route to Havana, Moscow reevaluated its position.
- Khrushchev at last agreed to remove the weapons in return for a US pledge not to attempt the overthrow of the Castro government.
- The Soviet leader also requested the removal of the US missiles in Turkey, and while Kennedy refused to accept the latter request in public, the weapons in question were quietly removed from their forward positions in 1963.
