On October 6th, 1973, the day of Yom Kippur, Egypt, Syria attacked Israel supported by Jordan, Palestinian, Algeria, Morocco, Cairo and most importantly the Soviet Union. Israel was shelled, outnumbered and blasted for the first few days. U.S.A. tried to negotiate with mainly the Soviet Union to immediately stop all firing on Israel but after the Soviet Union and all other nations showed no interest in that proposition America started its own attack to aid Israel. The war ultimately ended after the UN forced all nations to ceasefire.

In 1971, the Egyptian President Anwar Sadat said that war became inevitable after no progress towards peace was made. The Israelis had taken land that was not rightfully there's to own and Egypt was irate that Israel took the land and would not return it. So, in 1972, Sadat promised war if America did not force Israel to return the land that did not belong to them. After America refused to force Isreal to do anything, Egypt turned to the Soviet Union to put pressure on America but after the Soviets refused as well, Sadat kicked 20,000 Soviets out of Egypt. The war at hand was known as the Yom Kippur War

The physical and mental weakness of the South Vietnamese troops proved to be a deadly combination that the North took full advantage of. On March 24th Hue city fell in one day. March 29th communists entered the Da Nang region. Qui Nhon fell on March 31st and then on April 3rd Nha Trang fell in 3 hours and that same day Cam Ranh Bay fell in 30 minutes. The rapidness of the conquer surprised even the North Vietnamese who developed the motto “Lightning speed, daring, and more daring” and made their new goal to take over the entire south by May 19th, a goal they reached with 20 days to spare.

The primary goal of SALT II was to replace the Interim Agreement with a long-term comprehensive Treaty providing broad limits on strategic offensive weapons systems. The principal U.S. objectives as the SALT II negotiations began were to provide for equal numbers of strategic nuclear delivery vehicles for the sides, to begin the process of reduction of these delivery vehicles, and to impose restraints on qualitative developments which could threaten future stability.

November 4, 1979, a group of Iranian students stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, taking more than 60 American hostages. The immediate cause of this action was President Jimmy Carter’s decision to allow Iran’s deposed Shah, a pro-Western autocrat who had been expelled from his country some months before, to come to the United States for cancer treatment. However, the hostage-taking was about more than the Shah’s medical care: it was a dramatic way for the student revolutionaries to declare a break with Iran’s past and an end to American interference in its affairs. The students set their hostages free on January 21, 1981.

In 1970, China and the United States resumed talks on the ambassador level. In July and October, 1971, Dr. Henry Kissinger, national security advisor to the president of the United States, twice visited China in secret to pave the way for the visit by President Richard Nixon.

This event began a brutal, decade-long attempt by Moscow to subdue the Afghan civil war and maintain a friendly and socialist government on its border.

In November 1975, on the eve of Angola's independence, Cuba launched a large-scale military intervention in support of the leftist liberation movement MPLA against United States-backed invasions by South Africa and Zaire in support of two other liberation movements competing for power in the country. By the end of 1975 the Cuban military in Angola numbered more than 25,000 troops. Following the retreat of Zaire and South Africa, Cuban forces remained in Angola to support the Angolan government against the UNITA insurgency in the continuing Angolan Civil War.
