Treaty Of Versailles Rest Of The World

... this becomes a serious problem for Hitler.
Without allies, the Nazis would surely fail. It is
here that Hitler used his diplomatic skills to
make other countries forget the past. Hitler began
with Great Britain, encouraging British
rearmament, along with fortifying Great Britains
understanding that they possessed the strongest
navy in Europe. Hitler did the same with Italy,
wooing them with the possibility of Germany and
Italy taking over Europe. It was also clear that
Hitler needed an ally ...

Spread Of Communism Soviet Union

In the years following the end of the Cold War,
many historians and social scientists have written

My first inclination would be to answer the first
question with a clear "YES." But come to think of
it, the causes of war really have not changed at
all, or at least very little. Rather than changes,
there has been a shift in the causes. The cause of
war which has dominated the last 50 years was the
cause of ideology. However, due to the recent end
of the Cold War, this cause of war, has
significantly declined and is almost trivial. The
causes of war have shifted from mainly ideological
ones to ...

Cold War The Changing Relationship Of Superpowers
628 words
The United States and Soviet Union, the single
most important rivalry of the twentieth century,
started as a partnership. This irony was caused by
the fact that the Germans were taking over Europe,
which forced them in this relationship. Once
Hitler was eliminated and Berlin destroyed, the
tensions began rising. These two nations had
completely opposite ideologies from the economic
system to the political system. The changing
relationship has evolved from a forced
partnership, a possible world w...

tension, and conflict short of full-scale war.

wars" because they were fought by Soviet allies
rather than the USSR itself - along with
competition for influence in the Third World, and
a major superpower arms race. With the defeat of
the Axis powers in World War II, international

strategy changed radically. The cold war was a

North Atlantic Treaty Central And Eastern Europe

The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, or NATO
was set up in 1946 and, until 1990, primarily
concentrated on European defence against the
Warsaw Pact countries. However, since the collapse
of the Soviet Union, NATO has lost its principle
protagonist. So it must be asked, can there really
be, as the US Secretary of State, Madeleine
Albright said, a new NATO for a new century.
Indeed, she said, at the Brookings Institution,
that since the end of the Cold War Alliance
