For me the height of the Cold War was the first Nuclear Test by the Soviet Union on the 29th of August 1949.

This was also probably the start of the 'cold-war' itself.
Before the Soviet Union has tested a live Nuclear Weapon, the United States was flexing it's muscles all over the world based on it's economic and military might.

However, the Soviet Nukes proved that there was another player on the global scene with the same weapons as the United States.

Subsequently Soviet Union couldn't, and in effect did, challenge America's dominance in every corned of the world for the next 40 years.

For me, this precise moment was more important than the 'Cuban Crisis'

Oksi-84 [34.3K]
Yes. 
<span>In 1281, Kublai Khan and his Mongol Army attempted to invade the islands of Japan by sea. The Mongols were winning the their invasion until unexpectedly, a typhoon came through off the coast of Japan and destroyed the Mongol forces and fleet enroute to Japan. The people of Japan considered this to be a great turn of fortune for them. They believed that this great storm was sent to them as protection from the heavens and is credited with saving the Japanese Empire. It was called the Kamikaze, or Divine Wind.
</span><span>By the fall of 1944, it had become clear that the Japanese were again losing in a struggle for their empire. This time however, they were losing to the American and Allied forces in the Pacific Theater of World War II. Short on resources as well as victories, the Japanese again turned to this “divine” force in the belief that it would again save them from total annihilation by foreign forces. Only this time, instead of it being a “divine wind,” it came in the form of men who were willing to sacrifice their lives in order to help their country. These suicide pilots took on the name “kamikaze” and applied it to their airborne missions.</span>

Why did the King of England make the pronouncement of the "Proclamation Line of 1763?
Fantom [35]

Answer:

Proclamation Line of 1763 was meant to stabilize relations with native North Americans.

Explanation:

The 1763 Proclamation Line was a British measure following the French and Indian War by declaring the boundary of the Eastern Continental Divide in the Appalachian Mountains which prevented Anglo-American colonists from western expansion. It was a protective measure to avoid conflict with the native Indian tribes and french colonists which could have lead to another expensive war. Moreover, the British Government expressed concern that western expansion would provide opportunities for colonies to gain economic independence.
