2. 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.

3. 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. Progress Monitoring Transparency
