Answer by Ali
Political events would be events that had to do with America's own government or public affairs, e.g. an event that had to do with the President, Congress, etc. Diplomatic events would be events that involved America's relations with another country, e.g. the Cold War, the Cuban Missile Crisis, etc.

Political-(adj.) of or relating to the government or public affairs of a country
Diplomatic-(adj.) of or concerning the profession, activity, or skill of managing international relations
