Untitled

Why the use of smaller text in the section about the formation of the OAU? Is this a direct quote from the stated aims of the origanisation? If so, should it not be in a more common format? --Juux 22:34, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Prague Spring

I think that Prague Spring deserves more than two sentences in this article.

Space Race

Why there are no words about Space Race which was too a big confrontation of USA and Soviet Union? Apollo 11 plus Apollo-Soyuz mission (on a smaller scale) were for sure turning points in history of XXth century. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.31.66.14 (talk) 18:38, August 24, 2007 (UTC)

I'm too lazy to check the page myself, but surely if it isn't mentioned, it should be. Add it yourself if you like. 24.226.77.23 (talk) 13:16, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fischer-Spassky 1972

Shouldn't the match between the Russian and American chess players be noted somewhere? 24.226.77.23 (talk) 13:13, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

the Cold War

41.145.100.22 (talk) 14:26, 31 August 2010 (UTC) my question:[reply]

what was the impact of the cold war in forming the world as it was in the 1960's?

Make it in simple sections

India as a non-alignment country

Here in the image India is described as an ally of USSR. India a leading nation and a co-founder of non-alignment movement and has implemented a non-alignment policy since its freedom. India was never an ally of either sides. So I would request to change its status to a non-aligned nation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nikhilvp 5 (talk • contribs) 18:38, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
