ABSTRACT
In 1980, in order to protest Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, President Carter instituted a grain embargo against the USSR as well as a US boycott of the Moscow Olympics. Diplomatic relations were initiated between Israel and Egypt. Robert Mugabe first took office as Prime Minister of Zimbabwe as his party won elections that ended white rule of what had been known as Rhodesia. The deposed Shah of Iran died in exile in Egypt. Polish labor organizer Lech Wałęsa started solidarność strikes at shipyards in Gdańsk, which eventually led to the Gdańsk Agreement that was recognized by the Polish government. A military coup d’état in Turkey supported by the CIA led to sweeping draconian changes throughout the country. In an innovation that would eventually lead to the creation of the World Wide Web, Tim Berners-Lee launched ENQUIRE.
