Download or read book Ends Means Ideology and Pride written by Jeffrey Record and published by Alpha Edition. This book was released on 2018-06-16 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why did the Axis Powers lose World War II, and what can we learn from its defeat? The Axis seemed on top of the world until 1941, when it added to its list of enemies the United States and the Soviet Union. The entry of Russia and America into the war decisively tipped the balance against Germany, Italy, and Japan. Resource-rich Russia and the United States were prepared for protracted conflict, whereas the Axis was not. From Pearl Harbor onward, it is difficult to imagine how the Axis could have avoided the fate that befell it, short of Stalin's defection from the Allied side. Material weakness should have imposed strategic discipline on Axis territorial ambitions, but none of the three major Axis states seemed to recognize the limits of their power. Imperial ambitions, fueled by extreme ideologies, held sway over a realistic grasp of what was possible and what was not. An examination of World War II's outcome reveals three lessons. First, numbers still matter. The best strategy is to be strong. The strong sometimes lose, but the weak lose more often. Second, ideology can distort sound strategic thinking. Both Germany and Japan were victimized by extreme racial ideologies that prompted them to overestimate their own fighting power and underestimate that of their enemies. Third, operational and tactical superiority cannot redeem a faulty strategy. Throughout the war, Germany outperformed its enemies on the battlefield; however, it was still crushed strategically.

Download or read book End of the Cold War Story of the Clash Between the Communist Soviet Union and the Capitalist USA written by Thad Lenzini and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-30 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union fought together as allies against the Axis powers. However, the relationship between the two nations was a tense one. The Cold War was international affairs for the second half of the 20th century. Nuclear weapons testing, civil wars in all corners of the globe and the race for economic dominance were all key spheres of the Cold War, although they were just a few elements of a very complex global puzzle. More so than the great battles between Carthage and Rome in Ancient times or the Napoleonic Wars, the Cold War defined our world. But, there was one key difference between the Cold War and earlier major wars. Due to advances in technology and communications, the Cold War touched most countries on earth. This introduction to the end of the Cold War tells the story of the great clash between the communist Soviet Union and the capitalist USA. It considers events at a time of ever-faster change. Following the relative calm of the Détente years, the world became much more dangerous. After the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan a new and very assertive US president arrived who would seek to radically alter the international order. And soon enough a new Soviet leader would arrive and lead a great change in the international system. The biggest change since World War Two...

Download or read book For Love Loyalty Freedom and Dignity written by Tilahun Tassew and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-02-25 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historical novels on the Cold War, that followed the Second World War, are numerous and diversified. A few years back Encarta estimated the availability of 36 historical novels dealing on the general topic, 12 on the Korean War and 39 dealing with the Vietnam War. ''For Love, Loyalty, Freedom and Dignity'' ventures in the uncharted area about the impact of the Cold War in East Africa, Ethiopia. What makes unique Ethiopia in the Cold War was its membership to the League of Nations which attacked by fascist Italy led to the Second World War. Ethiopia was also unique for joining the United Nations against the Axis powers in 1942 as one of the founding members of the UN. Ethiopia was the first and last battle ground of the Cold War. During the heydays of the Cold War most of the characters in the book found themselves in prison, their friends dead on the streets. Others were scattered in foreign lands and some found themselves in desolate places turned warriors. Political parties and government took into their hands the right to pass death sentences on what they considered enemies to their ideologies. Hundreds of thousands perished through terrors. The book is set in Ethiopia which was the first victim and the first nation to be freed from the yoke of fascist atrocities. The characters in the book found themselves not only in the crossfire between the two superpowers but also faced the onslaught of the clandestine neo-fascists who became keen to conduct the Second Ethio-Italian War by other means. The neo-fascists using PLO, Libya, Syria and Egypt governments and the former Italian colonies made the Cold War the fiercest of all proxy wars. The book based on the personal experience of the characters draws the regional and international environments and the impact on individuals. When Mengistu In 1987, adopted a new constitution and officially joined the ranks of Communist states, the president of USA was Reagan who was a determined warrior who was working to give the Soviet Union the final blow. At the same time the leader of the Soviet Union was Gorbachev who had two years earlier in 1985 declared his policy of Glasnost which led in mere four to five years to the collapse of the Soviet Union. Some of the characters in the novel considered Mengistu as Don Quixote in the classical novel of Miguel de Cervantes. Don Quixote was a Spanish nobleman but Mengistu was a communist warrior and both believed that they were combating the world's injustices. Don Quixote took to arms after the collapse of the system he wanted to mimic. Mengistu's was not different. The Second World War ended with a bipolar world with USA and USSR on its helms. The Second World War continued the war as an ideological struggle between the two ideological fronts with the rest of the countries allied beside the two powers USA and USSR. The Cold War also produced its antithesis. Group of people rose and forwarded a dream about a world Federation with the convergence of the two "Western" traditions of socialism and liberalism. The characters tried to achieve world government in the likeness of one or the other super power. The book is concluded in a positive mood where individual actions contribute a drop in the ocean of human history which is going to its ultimate destiny of world governance through rules, regulations, standards. The characters Abebe from Ethiopia and Tsehay from Eritrea rediscover the commonality between them in their history and culture as they found their antagonisms and differences in ideologies of the Cold War. The book also brings us to the reality of the situation on the ground as the late Professor Tekie Fesshatzion and the late Prime Minister Meles forward ideas that moved their societies to what they became in the modern world. The book addresses the impacts of the Cold War on the past and present reality of people in the proxy war fields of the Cold War.

Download or read book The Global Cold War written by Odd Arne Westad and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-10-24 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cold War shaped the world we live in today - its politics, economics, and military affairs. This book shows how the globalization of the Cold War during the last century created the foundations for most of the key conflicts we see today, including the War on Terror. It focuses on how the Third World policies of the two twentieth-century superpowers - the United States and the Soviet Union - gave rise to resentments and resistance that in the end helped topple one superpower and still seriously challenge the other. Ranging from China to Indonesia, Iran, Ethiopia, Angola, Cuba, and Nicaragua, it provides a truly global perspective on the Cold War. And by exploring both the development of interventionist ideologies and the revolutionary movements that confronted interventions, the book links the past with the present in ways that no other major work on the Cold War era has succeeded in doing.
