significant part in modern history. However, in
order to understand why a country has become what
it is now, one must look at its culture. A

Winston Churchill said at the time this is not the
end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But
it is perhaps the end of the beginning As a result
of the failure to capture Stalingrad the Russians
took the offensive which is considered a major
turning point in the war that Germany was to lose.
Hitler prioritized the capturing of the oilfields

WAR FROM THE COLD WAR TO PRESENT The end of World
War II was the spawn of a new war that would
continue for over fifty years: The Cold War.
Technically this war was not a fifty-year physical
confrontation between two countries but more of a
political confrontation between the world's two
remaining super-powers. The dropping of the atomic
bomb in 1945 on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was the
beginning of a new arsenal that would lead to the
development of nuclear weapons. After Japan and
Germany were de...

In Cold War Cold War In the post World War II era,
a war arose between the Soviet Union and the
United States, but in reality there was never
really any documented fighting between the two
nations, thus spawning the catch phrase Cold War.
Even though both countries were ready to go to war
at the blink of an eye and almost did, the
powers-that-be never got the nerve to authorize a
nuclear war that would have made World War II look
like child s play. This was a war fought in the

Rise To Power Group Of People

good example of this is the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics in its transition time between
1953 and 1964. The tyrannical rule of Joseph
Stalin in the USSR was finally over, and the
