Comintern

My Trip to Washington DC We were just landing at the airport and got off our plane. We walked through the terminal collecting our luggage, then walked outside.

Signed by Hitler on December 18, 1940, the secret document demanded the Wehrmacht to crush Russia in a rapid campaign, undoing the agreement for spheres of influence throughout Eastern Europe. It remains a point of contention whether Berlin wooed Moscow into benign rapprochement in a series of deceptions stemming from the directive or Stalin, throughout it all,…

The opposition of these two pigs over the plans for the windmill allows Orwell to satirise the struggles of Stalin and Trotsky over such things as the five-year plans and the Comintern (the international wing of the Bolshevik movement).

The Rise of Japan Before World War II Before and during World War II, Japan had a slogan that said, “to die for the Emperor is to live forever,” (“Voices of Many,” par. 4). This was one of many philosophies that pushed the Japanese people to go to war to fight for their country. With the mass of soldiers that Japan accumulated before World War II, it was able to conquer more land. This push made Japan a bigger political power, but it also made Japan a bigger target, eventually helping it to…
