The New Face of Europe

When the Cold War ended, Eastern and Western Europe reunited. This was most evident in the

expanding membership of the European Union. While the expansion helps Europe compete with

the U.S. and Japan, it has caused difficulties as the different economies and cultures meet.

Global Power Shifts

When the Soviet Union broke up, the United States became the world’s only superpower. Russia

has struggled with corruption and with maintaining democratic freedoms under Vladimir Putin. The

U.S. has used its military might to intervene in struggles in Haiti and the Balkans. The Bush

presidents took us to war in the Middle East. All of these activities have brought the deficit to new

heights.

Section 1: Industrialized Nations After the Cold War

Changes in Asia

Trade among Pacific Rim nations has grown dramatically. Japan and the four Asian tigers of

Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and South Korea all export diverse goods to developed nations.

Their success is due to low wages, long hours, worker sacrifices, and a focus on education.

Ethnic and Religious Conflicts

Many recent wars and conflicts have arisen over ethnic or religious differences. In Sri Lanka,

Sinhalese Buddhists make up the majority and they have kept the Hindu Tamils from power,

leading to civil war. A 2002 agreement to negotiate a separate regional government for the

Tamils brought about a ceasefire. In Northern Ireland, Protestants and Catholics have fought

over civil rights and the issue of unification with Ireland. In Canada, a peaceful solution was found

to end the struggles of those in the French province of Quebec who wanted to maintain their

language and culture.

Yugoslavia Breaks Apart

Although most Yugoslavians spoke the same language, they had different religions. Each of

the six republics had a dominant ethnic group. As the various republics broke away from

Yugoslavia, fighting broke out in Croatia, Bosnia, and Serbia. Serbs in Bosnia and Serbia

conducted campaigns of ethnic cleansing. NATO was finally able to restore peace.
