Propaganda Throughout History

After the World War 2 between powers in the Eastern Bloc and powers in the Western Bloc, the relationship developed primarily between the USA and USSR; eventually leading up to a war called the Cold War. Although the Cold War was between the United States and the Soviet Union; ultimately, the Cold War was mainly caused by the USSR because of Stalin’s dominating behavior, the USSR’s military and territory expansion, and USSR’s aim of spreading world communism or USSR’s dislike of capitalism.

In World War II, the United States and the USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) were allies against the Axis powers. Near the end of the war tensions rose due to the differences both countries and birthed the Cold War. The tension had long existed due to the disliking America had towards Joseph Stalin due to his tyrannical structure and rule over his soviet country. America was also not recognizing the USSR as part of the international community. Since they were not part of the international community it put a pause on their entrance into the second World War.

The Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States was in the early stages during World War II as the Soviets were unhappy that U.S. troops did not arrive to form a second military front against the German army until 1944. This was just the first blip on the radar so to speak in the troubled relations the two countries would have with each other for the next 45 years.

The Cold War was the hostile relationship, between 1947 to 1989, which existed between the Soviet Union and the United States and other Western Nations This struggle for global supremacy is characterized by mutual distrust, espionage, the stockpiling of weapons, and a race to develop technologies. However, when it comes to blaming one side on the how this war started, the fault clearly lies with the Soviet Union. The Soviet leader at this time, Stalin, forced the spread of communism as he feared anyone else, especially the United States who were aiming towards helping other countries develop into a capitalistic empire, as they now practiced. His attempts to force communism down Eastern Europeans throats was a major underlying cause to the Cold

Following World War II there was a lot of tension between two of the Allied countries. The United States and the Soviet Union were in a state of political and military tension with each other. Opposing ideologies on how to deal with the world’s affairs post World War II fueled this rivalry but there was always a tension between the two countries. World War II, with its common goal, brought these two countries together as allies. With Hitler and the Nazis threating their way of living these two countries, along with others such as Britain, worked together to defeat this threat. Along with this common enemy, the two countries during the World War II period were able to put their differences behind them and work together to try and defeat Hitler. With there success, soon after there common goals quickly diminished and without such a bitter rivalry started. It can be said that the Cold War wasn’t only inevitable following World War II, but that World War II also delayed the rivalry that would follow between the United States and Soviet Union.

The Cold War began soon after the Second World War ended, starting in 1947 and ending in 1991. The United States and the Soviet Union competed for nuclear superiority, beginning a nuclear arms race. Most other countries were in debt because of the war, so the US and the USSR became superpowers that other countries became allies with (Kte 'pi, par. 4). The American side was called the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, or NATO, and consisted of Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, and the United Kingdom (Kte’pi, par. 9). Albania, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and the Soviet

The U.S and the Soviet Union had mistrusted each other from the beginning, which started the Cold War. when the U.S was attacked on December 1941, The Soviet Union had made an alliance with them along with Britain, which soon followed with the U.S supplying their allies with military supplies.

The Cold War was the name given to the time period from 1945 to 1991. After World War II, tensions began between the United States and the Soviet Union. Fighting between the United States and Soviet Union did not happen directly against each other. Instead they fought with arms races, space races, and spying. Both superpowers set aside their differences to defeat Adolf Hitler, even before the war the United States distrusted the Soviet Union. The United States disliked the way the Soviet Union ran government. They believed that the Soviet Union wanted to overthrow the non-communist governments.

In 1945, the United States and the Soviet Union were allies, jointly triumphant in World War II, which ended with total victory for Soviet and American forces over Adolf Hitler 's Nazi empire in Europe. However, within just a few years, wartime allies became mortal enemies, locked in a global struggle: military, political, economic, and ideological, to prevail in a new "Cold War." The Cold War was a time of extreme tension between the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), or the Soviet Union and the United States, and their respective ideologies. It was not declared in the same sense as most wars, rather it progressed over time. Therefore there are different opinions on the exact beginning of the War. Some say the Cold War really

The geopolitical and tense relationship that developed between the United States and the Soviet Union after World War two is known as Cold war. The cold war involved the Eastern Bloc powers (Soviet Union and its smaller states) and the Western bloc powers (the United States, its NATO and European allies). The war was known as “cold” because the two involved sides were not directly involved in the conflict although they both supported the proxy wars who were the major regional wars. It was during the cold war that the temporary wartime alliance against the Nazi Germany was spilt and the United States and the Soviet Union left as the strongest nations in the world. The two super powers had different ideas when it came to government and economics. The

Throughout the course of humanity’s existence, it is seen that change through action is simply ignited by the power of thought. The ability to think or have a particular opinion, belief, or idea is the very essence of human nature. Thoughts or human opinions are instigated from the everyday interaction of beings - one’s experiences, or the environment surrounding such. As noted by John Stuart Mill, “The only way in which a human being can make some approach to knowing the whole of a subject is by hearing what can be said about it by persons of every variety of opinion and studying all modes in which it can be looked at every characters of mind. No wise man ever acquired his wisdom in any mode but this”. However, humans are susceptible creatures to elements of power and feelings of gratification, Propaganda, originally defined as the dissemination of biased notions,

The establishment of the ministry was to ensure the Nazi message through different forms of film, radio, books, educational materials, art, music, and the press. The messages that were conveyed over the media were simple and agreeable and sought to create subconscious action. The use of this effective propaganda helped to spark a hated for a group of people by a whole population. The use of propaganda brainwashed citizen onto thinking that the source of Germany’s problems were the Jews. The use of propaganda had a powerful appeal to the young people of Germany .

One of the most popular causes of the Cold War was not the beginning, but the end of World War II in 1945. After being betrayed by Hitler in 1941, Stalin finished the war on the Allied side, but the tensions between the victorious Western Powers and Russa were already in evidence. The British feared too strong a Soviet presence in Europe and the Americans wanted a free and open Germany, which would become a large market for its products. The Soviets stood in the way to both.

The Cold War in 1947 through 1991 was a result of the uneasy alliances developed during World War II between the US and the Soviet Union, and the US and Great Britain that gradually began to deteriorate. Soon the Soviet Union began to rise above the others and in 1948 had established governments within Eastern Europe with the help of the Red Army. This worried both the US and Great Britain for they feared Soviet-influenced communist parties coming into power in the democracies of Western Europe. This led to more conflict to ignite between the US and the USSR. For example, the USSR built the Berlin Wall as a way to prevent any US influence within Berlin. As a
