Home front during World War II

The Cold War was a rivalry that developed after World War II between the U.S., the Allies, and the Soviet Union. It started when the Soviets instilled left-wing governments in the eastern countries of Europe that had been liberated by the Red Army.

Inspired by Florence Nightingale’s work during the Crimean War, many critical relief agencies have been established…

Great War and the Expiration of Religion The Great War, characterized by its international scope, its incredibly underestimated duration and magnitude, and its completely unpredicted and enormous consequences, sits upon the human saga unlike any event previously recorded throughout all of history.

Balkans, and alliances between powerful nations are few of the causes of the Great War. Because of the Russians surrendered in the spring of 1918, the Central Powers thought they had the advantage over the Allied Powers because they didn’t have to fight a two front war anymore.

The spread of socialist movements would increase throughout…

Goebbels in charge, the Propaganda Ministry achieved an astounding level of success during Hitler’s rise to power in the 1930s that continued through the first years of World War II. Propaganda was delivered via printed material, radio, and film to disseminate the Nazis’ message to the German people, who grew to admire and trust in the Führer above any other man. In that effort, Nazi propaganda created a mythical world by transforming the political universe into a conflict of persons and…
