Howdid the Cold War shape the American economy, society and politics from 1945 to1992? TheCold War between the United States and the Soviet Union emerged and developedafter World War II, though its origins go back in history to the BolshevikRevolution in 1917. The Cold War was an ideological, economic, political andmilitary confrontation, but it never actually was fought between these twonations on a battlefield. It was a war of tensions and hostilities where thebelligerents engaged each other around the world but avoided direct conflictbecause of the dire consequences of such actions. As the Cold Warprogressed until the collapse of the Soviet […]

There were many ideas and laws formed to stop the denial movement. ” In today’s Germany the outright denial and even the trivialization of the Holocaust in public is a federal crime,” stated by Söllner , The first attempt to stop the denial movement was a law passed created to stop anti- semitism from occuring any further. When this law was passed it was widely celebrated. Two members of a right- extremist group reacted by covering the synagogue in Cologne with swastikas and anti-Semitic slurs.  Then, following that an entire wave of anti- Semitic acts started to occur, so chancellor […]

World War 2 was one of the most destructive and scientific wars of all time. Dozens of countries in Europe were struck down by the Nazis, new equipment was put to the test, (like the two atomic bombs sent to Japan at the end of the war), new battle gear was used like the Bismarck, new German Tanks were used and were  bigger than any tanks seen in history.  The Nazis did lots of things, but one of them is occupation of  countries. So obviously there was resistance all over Europe. One of the other parts of World War 2 […]

In October 1943 is when Denmark got hit with jews in hiding.  They had 7,500 jews in 1943 that came.  6,000 of the jews were Danish citizens but the rest were German or eastern Europe refugees.  Most of the jews ended up living in Copenhagen, Denmark, the capitol.   When Gestapo came to round up the jews the Danish police refused to help.  Neighbors would help jewish families find shelter when they had to flee the villages.  They would give them shelter in churches, basements, and some holiday houses.  Fisherman would also load their boats with jews and take them […]

Nazi death squads, Einsatzgruppen, formed to exterminate opponents of the Reich in masses. They worked across Eastern Europe and the USSR. To exterminate as many people as they could, leaders explored methods of killing by mass shootings, gas vans, and explosions. The more people it killed quickly, the more useful it was. Einsatzgruppen caused great destruction as they passed through villages, by late 1939 they had already burned 500 villages and executed 16,000 people(“The Einsatzgruppen, “Einsatzgruppen). Their ghastly skill developed over time with the help of skilled leaders. The Einsatzgruppen were originally Nazi police intelligence that worked with German forces. […]

Highly recommended, but not an easy read.Snyder does not contend for a supposed moral equivalence between Hitler’s extermination of the Jews and the earlier Stalinist extermination of the kulaks. On the reverse, the industrial exploitation of corpses and their ashes was a unique Hitlerian atrocity – a singular example of human infamy.Many know that Stalin murdered millions, but may not understand the scope of his crimes or the people he targeted. How many people recognize that the worst killings were carried away by literally starving entire ethnic groups and peasants to death in Soviet Ukraine and other districts. The book […]

Thefinal collapse of the once-expansive Ottoman Empire in 1922 resulted in a substantialshift in the world’s politics, especially in the land that was once a part ofit. Expanding throughout the Middle East as well as thesouth of Eastern Europe, the Ottoman Empire’s collapse would drastically andnegatively impact a considerable amount of this area. Out of these resultingterritories, Syria would come to be impacted the most. The collapse of theOttoman Empire in 1922 would cause political distress throughout Syria due tothe bouts of colonization it faced following the collapse, later resulting intheir rebellion and development of extreme nationalism, which would come […]

There were many ideas and laws formed to stop the denial movement. ” In today’s Germany the outright denial and even the trivialization of the Holocaust in public is a federal crime,” stated by Söllner , The first law that was passed that was against the Holocaust denial was created as a reaction to re-emerging anti- semitism in German society. After the law was passed the reopening of the law was widely celebrated. Two members of a right- extremist group reacted by covering the synagogue in Cologne with swastikas and anti-Semitic slurs.  Then, following that an entire wave of anti- […]

It is one of the branches of politicalscience that deals with the study of the patterns of government in our time,but the precise definition of the domain of the governments of the two maindifficulties encountered:The first difficulty relates to thedifficulty of studying and what are the activities that constitute the essenceof government activity.The second difficulty is the most important. It is connectedto the relationship between values ??on the one hand and government activity onthe other, from the time when each government has a certain individuality ofits historical bequest that marks the arrangement and classification ofgovernments unclear. From this variety in […]
