Explanation:
Here are a couple paragraphs to help you get started:
1. During the Cuban Missile Crisis, leaders of the U.S. and the Soviet Union engaged in a tense, 13-day political and military standoff in October 1962 over the installation of nuclear-armed Soviet missiles on Cuba, just 90 miles from U.S. shores. In a TV address on October 22, 1962, President John Kennedy (1917-63) informed Americans about the nearness of the rockets, disclosed his choice to order a maritime bar around Cuba and made it understood the U.S. was set up to utilize military power if important to eliminate this apparent risk to national security. Following this news, many people feared the world was on the brink of nuclear war. However, disaster was avoided when the U.S. agreed to Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev’s (1894-1971) offer to remove the Cuban missiles in exchange for the U.S. promising not to invade Cuba. Kennedy also secretly agreed to remove U.S. missiles from Turkey.
2. The Cuban Missile crisis comes to a close as Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev agrees to remove Russian missiles from Cuba in exchange for a promise from the United States to respect Cuba’s territorial sovereignty. This finished almost two weeks of nervousness and strains between the United States and the Soviet Union that verged on inciting an atomic clash. The outcomes of the emergency were numerous and changed. Relations among Cuba and the Soviet Union were by no means in a well established position for quite a while after Khrushchev's expulsion of the rockets, as Fidel Castro blamed the Russians for throwing in the towel from the Americans and abandoning the Cuban insurgency. European partners of the United States were likewise irritated, not due to the U.S. position during the emergency, but since the Kennedy organization kept them for all intents and purposes in obscurity about exchanges that may have prompted a nuclear war.
(personally I think Nikita Khrushchev should be the one to receive the peace prize but the choice is yours to make!)

Both the Chinese and the Japanese felt that the Europeans were barbarians. They were particularly repelled by the smell of these foreigners who ate much fattier diets and who did not typically wash very often. They also felt the Europeans lacked subtlety and were rather crass in their behaviors.
The similarities, however, largely end there. The Chinese tried to simply ignore the Europeans. They were able to do this to some degree because the Europeans did not have anything they wanted. They were willing to take European silver in exchange for tea and otherwise leave the Europeans alone. This worked until around the time of the Opium Wars when the Europeans forced China to open itself more.
Answer:
Industrial Revolution, in modern history, the process of change from an agrarian and handicraft economy to one dominated by industry and machine manufacturing. This process began in Britain in the 18th century and from there spread to other parts of the world. Although used earlier by French writers, the term Industrial Revolution was first popularized by the English economic historian Arnold Toynbee (1852–83) to describe Britain’s economic development from 1760 to 1840. Since Toynbee’s time the term has been more broadly applied.
