Answer:
An independent or nonpartisan politician is a politician not affiliated with any political party. There are numerous reasons why someone may stand for office as an independent.
Some politicians have political views that do not align with the platforms of any political party, and therefore choose not to affiliate with them. Some independent politicians may be associated with a party, perhaps as former members of it, or else have views that align with it, but choose not to stand in its name, or are unable to do so because the party in question has selected another candidate. Others may belong to or support a political party at the national level but believe they should not formally represent it (and thus be subject to its policies) at another level.
In running for public office, independents sometimes choose to form a party or alliance with other independents, and may formally register their party or alliance. Even where the word "independent" is used, such alliances have much in common with a political party, especially if there is an organization which needs to approve the "independent" candidates.
The end of the Franco Prussian War resulted in the defeat of <em>France and subsequent loss of its territories of Alsace and Lorraine to the Germans</em>. This ended the balance of power that had existed in Europe since the Congress of Vienna in 1915.
<em>France was determined to regain its lost territories</em>. This caused Germany to form alliances with the Austro Hungarian Empire and reinforce its military. This period was the prelude to the First World War in 1914.

Explanation:
The Cuban Missile Crisis was at the height of the Cold War, and led to the <em>containment</em> of communism. Soviet Union supported the Cuban dictator Fidel Castro in the establishment and supply of nuclear missiles to keep the United States occupied with the missiles being so close to their nation. As a result, the U.S. threatened to fire their own nuclear missiles which would have been catastrophic. Peace agreements were signed and the Cuban missiles were either demolished or shipped back to the Soviet Union, causing Soviet Union to back down, and thus resulting in the containment of communism.
