Ernest Hemingway Front Porch
750 wordsA Soldiers Home by Ernest Hemingway takes place during the late summer of 1919, during the post-war era of WWI. Krebs, the main character in the story, returns to his small hometown in Oklahoma much later than when the rest of the soldiers had returned. The men from the town who had been drafted had all been welcomed elaborately on their return (Hemingway, 145). The people seemed to think it was rather ridiculous for Krebs to be getting back so late, years after the war was over (Hemingway, 145)...

Sparsely Populated Vast Majority

Threat To The United States Soviet Union
1,354 wordsIn 1938, the United States possessed the most productive economy in the world with one of the largest navies. However, to describe it as a fully active world power as we have shown already would be inaccurate. If it was America that sealed the fate of Germany in the First World War, its financial muscle during the twenties that brought a degree of stability to Europe, then it was its isolationist policy in the thirties compounded by the Depression that upset the international system. This encour...

Second World War East And West
2,396 wordsCold War The Cold War was the result of Stalin adopting a policy contrary to the Yalta Agreement. Certainly to many supporters of the Orthodox view, this statement will appear rather obvious. In their view, the origins of the Cold War, however, do not essentially lie in the aftermath of Yalta, but in the inevitable clash of capitalism and communism. The fact that Stalin adopted a, in their opinion aggressive, policy was not so much the result of security, but the expansionist nature of Lenin-Mar...

Soviet Socialist Republics Atlantic Treaty Organization
2,883 wordsThe Cold War Blame Question As early as 1948, blame was being placed for the yet to be concluded Cold War era. In that day, the predominant view was that the fault lay not on the West, despite the uncleanness of intentions and the icy tone of the Truman administration? s relations with the USSR, but on the ever-secretive Russia. For over half a century the question of guilt in the Cold War has been debated; whether it was the west, with their lofty ideals and unclear aims, or the east, with thei...
