| | | | | | François Mitterrand: Encyclopedia II - 1990s - Overview While optimism and hopes were high following the collapse of Communism, the backlash of the Cold War's effect was only beginning, precipitating the continuation of terrorism in Third World regions that were once the frontlines for American and Soviet foreign politics, particularly in Asia. However, during the 1990s many First World economies such as the United States, Canada, Ireland, Australia, and South Korea experienced steady economic growth for nearly the entire decade.

France in modern times - Geography.
In 1914, the territory of France was different from today's France in two important ways : most of Alsace and the northeastern part of Lorraine had been annexed by Germany in 1870, and the North-African country of Algeria had been established as an integral part of France (a "département") in 1848. France would reacquire Alsace-Lorraine at the end of World War I and lose them again, temporarily, to Germany during World War II. Calls for Algerian indepedence became common ...

| | | | | François Mitterrand: Encyclopedia II - Falklands War - Lead up to the war
Falklands War - Build-up.
Galtieri, who was the leader of the military government of Argentina at the time, aimed to counterbalance public concern over economic and human rights issues with a speedy nationalist victory over the Falklands. Argentina exerted pressure in the United Nations by raising subtle hints of a possible invasion, but the British either missed or ignored this threat and did not react. The Argentines interpreted the lack of British reaction as disengagement from the Falklands, and assumed that ...

The Popular Front won the 1936 elections, and Leon Blum formed a Socialist-Radical government. The PCF supported this government but did not join it. The Popular Front government soon colla ...

| | | | | | François Mitterrand: Encyclopedia II - Romanian Revolution of 1989 - Bucharest The events in Timişoara were widely reported by Radio Free Europe, Voice of America and by students returning home for Christmas holidays.
There are several conflicting views on the events in Bucharest that led to the fall of Ceauşescu in 1989. One view is that a portion of the Romanian Communist Party CPEx (Political Executive Council) tried and failed to bring about a scenario similar to that in the rest of the Eastern bloc Communist countries, where the Communist leadership would resign en masse, allowing a new government ...

| | | | | | | François Mitterrand: Encyclopedia II - Sodomy law - Impact on homosexuals A common misunderstanding is that sodomy laws only target gay people. Most sodomy laws target both heterosexual and homosexual acts, including oral sex and anal sex. Although these acts are not exclusively homosexual, the laws against them are selectively enforced primarily against homosexuals.
Frequently, religious beliefs are responsible, if not cited for the existence of sodomy laws. Some sodomy laws include all homosexual or all non-coital sex, including oral sex, frottage, tribadism, and masturbation. Historically, heteros ...

Born in the ghetto of Frankfurt-am-Main, he developed a finance house and spread his empire by installing each of his five sons in European cities to conduct business.
