oct 4, 1957 - Space Race

Description:

This is where the US and Soviets had an intense rivalry about space and who can get the farthest first. Soviets started with the lead with Sputnik 1, but when the kept competing it actually brought them together and made the International Space Station.

I think this was an important event because its where their conflicts took a whole other turn and actually brought it up to space which i think showed how major this conflict was globally.
