Back to the Future Part II

After World War II, the Cold War began to heat up as the world’s two biggest powers vied for control of third world countries. On the left, the Soviet Union employed communist principles, while the United States fought for democracy.

On October 20, 1947, the notorious Red Scare began to infiltrate the biggest propaganda source: Hollywood. As a congressional committee known as…

This document was created to ensure peace for the countries that greatly wanted and needed it. Its lasting affect…

north, towards Rome. This greatly worried Cavor and Victor Emmanuel II. If Garibaldi attacked the French troops in Rome, France would surely step in and crush Sardinia. The only way to counter this was for the Sardinian army to invade the remaining Papal States and meet Garibaldi halfway. In doing so Sardinia gained even more of the states bringing Unification a step closer. On the 27th of October Garibaldi and Victor Emmanuel II met in Teano where Garibaldi formally handed over all the land he…

World War II is a war between the Allies and Axis powers. The war started at different times for different parts of the world. In Europe, it started in 1939, but for the United States it started in 1941 with the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. The attack was ordered by Japan's Prime Minister Tojo Hideki. Once the war broke out in Europe, FDR called for a special session of Congress to replace the Neutrality Acts with Cash and Carry. The Neutrality Acts were to limit the US…

only helped Hitler wiggle his way to the top. For the Allies, the treaty only created what they thought was a type of peace that weakened Germany, secured the French border against any possible attacks and created an organization to hopefully ensure future world peace. Yet the backlash in Germany against the treaty was enormous. Territorial losses to the new Polish state on the Eastern Front, where Germany once found victory, outraged Germans. The demilitarism of the Rhineland provoked similar…

In the years following World War II, the world was seemingly obsessed with a fundamental question: What role should government play in the economy? Socialism became the great experiment of the post-war period, with nations such as the Soviet Union embracing the idea whole heartedly and nations such as the United States outright rejecting it. Still, Capitalists too were now in a great divide. Should markets be free? Should governments intervene in times of economic instability in order to create…

sci-fi film was released which would be the third highest grossing movie of the year and inspire and entertain for generations to come—Back to the Future Part II. Set in 1989, this film takes us to the “future” to 2015, where imagineers do in fact correctly predict Skype-like communication, biometric identification, and… flying, self-driving cars?3 Well, the future is here. While cars today may not fly, we are closer than ever to fully autonomous vehicles (AVs). Companies like Google,…

The man suffers severe injuries, but comes back from war to the woman, who is waiting for him. Together, they are happy that Berlin is liberated and praise the great leader. He also adds that surprisingly enough, the cult of Stalin is not coming to its end, but rather keeps flourishing after the World War II. According to Taylor, the film was made for Stalin’s birthday and shot on one of the most expensive stocks that the Soviets…

nature of Vladek from which he has learned over the period of World War II. Valedeks experiences in the Holocaust undoubtedly played a role in his personality changes. For example, Artie is angered when Vladek tells him he threw out his mother’s old journals about the war yet keeps worthless rubbish instead. Also, Vladek preaches not to waste any money or food, which frustrates Artie when he goes to the extremes. Vladek has gone back to the supermarket to return the leftovers of what was eaten…
