The liberal consensus was constructed during an era in which the U.S. was poised to be the worlds singular super power. This was an idealized optimistic image of the United States, promulgated by the beneficiaries of American ingenuity and conquest which was devoid of realism and characterized by its affinity for capitalism, it 's disregard for the disenfranchised and a sense of moral obligation to spread American principles. The liberal consensus was not to last, crumbling in the face of the…

genocide was committed, humans still had ethics and the bravery to fight back. The Resistance can be described through when it began and how, what kinds of people and groups fought, and what acts did the resistance commit. In the 1940s, the second world war broke out and several countries were occupied by Hitler, the leader of the Nazi Party. The…

This is because the episode itself hinted at what any country could become, specifically if controlled by a totalitarian government, which is what Americans viewed the Soviet Union as being. The Soviet Union aimed for complete control of the world, using communism as its ideology, which classified it as a totalitarian state. In addition to this, the last statement by the show’s host was, “…Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man,…

World War I (WWI) saw the introduction of some of today’s most remarkable pieces of technology including: machine guns, indirect artillery, air planes, tanks, radios, and more. However, just a few years later, no major army entered World War II (WWII) with the same doctrine and weapons that it had at the end of WWI. The interwar period witnessed tremendous innovations in both technology and doctrine that completely changed warfare. While there were tremendous advances, there was also…

driven by geopolitics to drive foreign policy through most of the 20th Century. Through the last decade of the 20th Century, the world saw the close of the Cold War with the Soviet Union, and the emergence of the European Union – both forged by the United States’ involvement. They helped to create an open world economy, free trade routes and sea lanes, lenders to the world, reserve currency globally, investing abroad, and keeping their own markets open. The United States is the enforcer of…

The Molotov-Ribbentrop pact between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany renounced war between the two countries, giving the Soviet Union much needed time to strengthen itself before Germany’s certain betrayal. Through the pact, Russia was not only promised half of Poland, a territory which had been under Russian sovereignty before World War I, but the Baltic States and Bulgaria. Although Ribbentrop, under the guidance of Hitler, most likely didn’t assume that Russia was ever planning to expand…

you for inviting me to this lovely multicultural festival, it’s a great honour to be speaking to all of you today. As you can see behind me, I’m going to try and clear up some misunderstandings in regards to Japan and how they were depicted during World War 2. You might be asking like “oh, why would she be teaching us about how they were misunderstood in WW2? Why not teach us about how they are now, in modern times?” And very good question! Thanks for asking! It’s because the portrayal of…

atomic bomb with the mushroom-shaped plume as the focal point. One can see the intensity and power it contains that was necessary to stop the Japanese during World War II. The United States showed the dominance of power that was recognized by the world in the form of a bomb. The representation of power in figure 1 still continues as the world strives to show their dominance with the amount of nuclear weapons. When one observes the power that nations strive, there is bound to be destruction. …

British Prime Minister who led the Empire into the Second World War. Each of the three covers of the books shows a picture of an increasingly ageing Churchill. From a lean young man in Visions of Glory, Churchill transforms to the hat-wearing man we all know of in the Defender of the Realm. In this book review, we will look at all the three volumes…

Though the Soviet Union and Western powers such as the United States had been bound together by alliances during times of war, there were many other issues that could not be agreed upon; this notably included the coexistence of communism and capitalism in different parts of the world.
