As explained in The World in the Twentieth Century from Empires to Nations, Daniel Bowers and Thomas Sanders, after the Second World War, there was much recovering a rebuilding to be done with lives, human relations, and economic and political institutions, and much of this was felt through Europe. When the power left in Europe, the United States and the Soviet Union began reordering the European relations. In Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union began reconstructing based on the goals of the Moscow…

1953 Iranian Coup d’Etat The study of this event goes back to the post-WWII discussions over Iranian oil. For many years, whilst being politically involved in Iran, the US had not pursued comprehensive economic ties. For decades, Iran had hosted oil concessions owned by the USSR and the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (Britain), and these two powers held significant power in the region. They alone controlled most of Iran's oil reserves, a vital key to Iranian economic stability and strength. Although…

United States’ understanding of the cultural differences in the Middle East is apparent with the debacle in Iraq. Democracy is not the solution in the Middle East; the concept would just not work under the current self-aggrandizing leadership. The invasion of Iraq has only strengthened the ethnic divide and fostered the notion that the country can only survive if it splits into three ethnic regions. Although, the situation in Iraq has not reached the point of no return, the clock is steadily…

Unfortunately, some companies have mismanaged their greatest asset—their brands. This is what befell the popular Snapple brand almost as soon as Quaker Oats bought the beverage marketer for $1.7 billion in 1994. Snapple had become a hit through powerful grassroots marketing and distribution through small outlets and convenience stores. Analysts said that because Quaker did not understand the brand’s appeal, it made the mistake of changing the ads and the distribution. Snapple lost so much…

He turned a little sideways in his chair to drink his mug of coffee. At the table on his left the man with the strident voice was still talking remorselessly away. A young woman who was perhaps his secretary, and who was sitting with her back to Winston, was listening to him and seemed to be eagerly agreeing with everything that he said.
