The Fall of Berlin Wall - (III) 1989:

NIEO (New International Economic Order) - (IV) 1972:
The New International Economic Order (NIEO) was a set of proposals for restructuring the global economic system in a way that would benefit developing countries.
The idea of the New International Economic Order (NIEO) originated with the realization of the necessity to have sustained development. The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) brought out a report in 1972 entitled Towards a New Trade Policy for Development. The report proposed a reform of the global trading system so as to: (i) give the LDCs control over their natural resources exploited by the developed Western countries, (ii) obtain access to Western markets so that the LDCs could sell their products and, therefore, make trade more beneficial for the poorer countries, (iii) reduce the cost of technology from the Western countries, and (iv) provide the LDCs with a greater role in international economic institutions.

Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan - (II) 1979:
The Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan occurred in 1979 when the Soviet Union intervened in Afghanistan, leading to a long and protracted conflict. This event had significant implications for the region and the Cold War dynamics between the United States and the Soviet Union

Cuban Missile Crisis - (I) 1962:
The Cuban Missile Crisis occurred in 1962 when the United States and the Soviet Union came to the brink of nuclear war over the placement of Soviet missiles in Cuba.
The Cuban Missile Crisis occurred in 1962 and was a significant event during the Cold War. It was a 13-day confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union initiated by the Soviet ballistic missile deployment in Cuba. This crisis is considered the closest the Cold War came to escalating into a full-scale nuclear war.
