High school students gather in Santiago’s Plaza Italia for education reform

SANTIAGO — Disturbances, barricades, and confrontations with carabineros marked Oct. 13′s unauthorized high school student march that began in Plaza Italia.

A group of about 500 to 1, 000 protesters met in Plaza Italia in the morning around 10:30. The unauthorized route planned by the students was supposed to go from Plaza Italia to the MINEDUC building but was stopped by carabineros with tear gas and water cannons.

“We had barely arrived when our companions were detained. We can not stand for this. The march today is to demonstrate that yes we are here and we are mobilized and even though they don’t want to authorize our route, we are going to march all the same, ” said Darío Avendaño, the student voice for the high school students. “Our banner is the fight for a free education and demunicipalization of our schools.”

Shortly after the first group was dispersed, another group of about 300 congregated in Plaza Italia around 11:30 a.m. The march was peaceful and the carabineros let the group pass. Around this time near Universidad de Chile, masked demonstrators appeared and began throwing rocks at carabineros and a large quantity of tear gas was launched into the crowd.

Various groups of protesters created disturbances around the city throughout the day. Some people attempted to create barricades around Parque Bustamante and other parts of Providencia.

Over 50 masked people marched on Marin and Bustamante, interrupted traffic and broke traffic lights.

Special Forces were dispatched to La Universidad de Humanismo Cristiano where former Chilean presidents Eduardo Frei and Ricardo Lagos along with Senator Hernan Larraín and former Senator Sergio Bitar were participating in a book launch. The event was delayed due to outside disturbances but restarted a bit later.

The number of those who’ve been detained have not been released and no official response or statement has been made from the government at this time.

The government continues to call for dialogue on education reform with students who wish to speak with them.

Is the marble sarcophagus of Napoleon I, the first "Republican Emperor". Surrounding the tomb are a series of panels - low reliefs - which list Bonaparte's accomplishments. Surprisingly, for one of history's greatest generals, most of the items listed are not military. Instead, they are a stunning list of achievements which are themselves only a subset of those brought on by the Great French Revolution, and mostly surviving to this day:A single uniform code of laws, a single system of tariffs and tolls, a civil service with promotion based on merit, a system of education, a system of higher education, a system of military education, a network of customs...

What major events happened between 1960-65?

I am in AP European History and I need to present a power point with some events and what not. I am having a tough time with my research so anything helps!

One major event is the construction of the Berlin Wall and people killed trying to cross it during the period. You can seek more detail than this to learn:
Beatles music group actually had a major social impact, and you can research more on them in Europe.
In Africa the 1960s was a period of radical political change as 32 countries gained independence from their European colonial rulers.
So it was the ending of colonialism. You can research events occuring within Europe about this in the period, such as Portugese Colonial War, and Algerian War with France.
