During World War Two, Germany was mostly under the leadership of Adolf Hitler. Before Hitler received his dictatorial power, he was the leader of National Socialist (Nazi) Party and later the Chancellor of Germany. He ruled Germany through totalitarian means. Hitler promoted German pride and anti-Semitism. He also frequently expressed frustration with the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. Germany entered a period of severe economic depression and widespread unemployment in 1929 (History.com).…

The jove atmosphere of the “Roaring Twenties” first cracked in 1918 when a bout of paranoia, originally provoked by the success of the Bolshevik revolution in Russia in 1917, turned into mass hysteria, as the American people came to believe that a communist takeover was imminent. A grim reminder of years past, the “Red Scare” justified the employment of such repressive laws, and did so at the expense of the American people, who had become accustomed to losing their civil liberties during times…

In a world becoming increasingly saturated in media, the narratives of many different cultures are spreading throughout the world, and have a greater influence as people across the globe have access to these narratives. What happens, though, when the stories the world knows about a culture are told exclusively through the eyes of foreigners? Can an outsider really know enough about another culture to tell a complex, realistic narrative about the people they are trying to represent? Too often,…

A symbol of oppression for the German people, the Berlin Wall was a barrier that separated the city of Berlin in both the physical and metaphorical form of the word. Officially designated the “Anti-Fascist Protection Rampart” by the government of the German Democratic Republic, the wall split the city of Berlin into two segments. One half was controlled by the Soviet Union and the other half of Berlin was administered by an alliance of the three Western allied powers, comprised of the United…

The Berlin Wall was a barrier that separated the west side of Berlin from the east side of Berlin. The wall was built in 1961, and torn down in 1989 (History.com Staff, 2016). The Berlin Wall was built to keep the fascists of West Berlin out of East Berlin, and to make sure that the fascists had no influence on the socialist state of East Berlin (History.com Staff, 2016). Berlin was in the heart of the portion of Germany controlled by the Soviets, or as Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev put it,…

and a nation. Unable to agree on a German peace treaty after world war two, the US, Soviet Union, Great Britain, and France maintained a four power responsibility in Berlin (Harrison 53). Due to economic, political, and social consequences, the Berlin Wall divided Berlin into two very distinctively different cities. East Berlin was ruled under a Soviet communist regime, while West Berlin was ruled under the influence of the Western World. The division between East Germany and West Germany is…

Berliners in. With the Berlin Wall’s eradication, Germany would be reunited once more. The communist regime stood no longer, commencing a shaky start on the road to freedom. This was just another example of how communism would always fail. The end of World War II resulted in Germany being divided into four “allied occupation zones,” as was decided at the conferences of Yalta and Potsdam. Each individual zone belonged to one of the main Allied powers: the United States, the USSR, Great Britain…

By 1961, Berlin had long been a symbol of autonomy and endurance to Communist expansionism during the Cold War. The beginning stages of the Berlin crisis began in 1945, which marked the end of World War Two. Amid the ruins of Germany, the country was divided into four administrative sectors, one for each of the three victorious combatants, the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain, and by special dispensation the French. Berlin, as a capital city, was divided similarly into four subdivisions.…

The 1920s were 10 years of noteworthy social and social change because of the colossal financial blast and headways in industry. Moreover, the political scene had enormously changed after world war one. For the most part, mentalities turned out to be more liberal and this can be found in the changing part of ladies, xenophobia and in disallowance. Country America be that as it may, stayed much more customary than the propelling urban communities. States of mind towards ladies and migrants…

Traditionally beauty is coveted throughout the world and ugliness is despised. It is sought after everyday, by most people around the world. Beauty is symbolic of positive, pure traits whereas ugliness coincides with the negative and evil. Humans view people, art, architecture, and design in the context of beauty versus ugliness. The opposition of beauty and ugliness is prevalent in life daily. The binary of beauty versus ugliness changes the way that people view the world around them and causes…
