ORIGINS of the COLD WAR 6 7 8 9 1011 1 2 3111 Reviews of the first Edition: 4 ‘An Excellent Collection, Which Offers Works with Which Students Would Be 5 Unfamiliar 1111 2 3 4 5222 ORIGINS OF THE COLD WAR 6 7 8 9 1011 1 2 3111 Reviews of the first edition: 4 ‘An excellent collection, which offers works with which students would be 5 unfamiliar. The articles demonstrate a real commitment to international 6 history.’ 7 Robert L. Beisner, The American University, Washington DC 8 9 ‘A fresh collection of stimulating and impressive essays. This book will be 20111 of great value not only to students of the subject but to those teaching.’ John A. Thompson, St Catharine’s College, Cambridge 1 2 The Cold War dominated the world political arena for forty-five years. Focusing on 3 the international system and on events in all parts of the globe, Melvyn P. Leffler 4 and David S. Painter have brought together a truly international collection of articles 522 that provide a fresh and comprehensive analysis of the origins of the Cold War. 6 Moving beyond earlier controversies, this edited collection focuses on the inter- 7 action between geopolitics and threat perception, technology and strategy, ideology 8 and social reconstruction, national economic reform and patterns of international 9 trade, and decolonization and national liberation. The editors also consider how and 30111 why the Cold War spread from Europe to Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin 1 America and how groups, classes, and elites used the Cold War to further their own 2 interests. 3 This second edition brings the collection right up to date, including the newest 4 research from the Communist side of the Cold War and the most recent debates on 5 culture, race, and the role of intelligence analysis. Also included is a completely new 6 section dealing with the Cold War crises in Iran, Turkey, and Greece and a guide to further reading. 7 8 Melvyn P. Leffler is Edward Stettinius Professor of American History at the 9 University of Virginia. His publications include A Preponderance of Power: National 40111 Security, The Truman Administration, and the Cold War (1992) and The Specter of 1 Communism: The United States and the Origins of the Cold War, 1917–1953 (1994). 2 David S. Painter is Associate Professor of History in the Edmund A. Walsh School 3 of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. His publications include Oil and the 44 American Century: The Political Economy of U.S. Foreign Oil Policy, 1941–1954 (1986) 4522 and The Cold War: An International History (1999).

Reader [email protected] The Nazi-Soviet Pact Hitler on Poland On 28 March 1939, Hitler denounced the 1934 Non-Aggression Pact with Poland and had his military begin preparations for an invasion of Poland Hitler had two problems with Poland • Situated between Germany and Russia, Poland barred the invasion route into Russia • Poland had a large German population and territories that Hitler felt belonged to Germany To ensure the quiet eastern border that Hitler desired for his attack on France, Poland had to subordinate itself to Germany Hitler on Poland - 2 To Hitler, Polish subordination meant • Joining the Anti-Comintern Pact • Ceding Danzig and predominantly-German areas to Germany • Allowing Germany to build a highway across the Polish corridor While Poland was willing to negotiate over Danzig and allow Germany to build a highway across the Polish Corridor, it would not cede territory to Germany nor join the Anti-Comintern Pact This led Hitler to decide on an invasion of Poland • It also led him to seek an agreement with Stalin Stalin’s View of Nazism Stalin saw National Socialism as simply a nastier form of monopoly capitalism – more brutal than the capitalism of the Western democracies but essentially the same • Stalin did not realize that Hitler and the Nazis were racist ideologues committed to expansion eastward and to the replacement of Russians by Germans as the population of Western Russia • What Stalin did not understand was that, under Hitler, Germany’s capitalist and economic

  • University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating' adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding o f the dissertation.

The ADG “Confessions of a Production Designer” Film Series is sponsored by The Hollywood Reporter. “Welcome to Sherwood, my lady!” Legendary, beloved, much imitated but never surpassed, The Adventures of Robin Hood is pure escapism epitomizing the very best in classical Hollywood matinee adventure storytelling. Rich in its visual imagination, it remains a case study in film design excellence. Inspired by the romantic illustrations of famed illustrator and artist N.C. Wyeth, Carl Jules Weyl’s masterful designs served well this Warner Bros.’ first venture into three-strip Technicolor productions. “The Adventures of Robin Hood remains a fitting tribute to the achievements and talent of this exceptional designer, as well as being a reminder of the many less celebrated but equally gifted masters of design who have left us with a visually-inspired legacy,” said Production Designer Thomas A.

While Whitehall wanted US cooperation in taking a firm stance against Mexico, Washington refused.

  • “Zersetzung Und Zivilcourage“
    EXPOSEE In dieser Dissertation geht es um die Rolle von Frauen im Alltag des Nationalsozialismus und Krieges von 1939-1945. Nicht nur, dass Frauen selbstständig den Arbeits- und Kriegsallta g meisterten, sie mussten auch Ängste, Gefahren und Terror überstehen. Als dann besonders in den letzten Kriegsjahre n immer mehr Frauen einen deutlichen Unmut über die verheerende Situatio n öffentlich zum Ausdruck brachten oder gar flüchtigen Soldaten Beihilfe zur Fahnenfluc ht leisteten, wurde dieses „wehrkraftzersetzende Verhalten“ gesetzlich und richterlich verfolgt und schwer bestraft. Die zentrale Fragestellung dieser Arbeit richtet sich insbesondere auf die Praxen “ZERSETZUNG der Überlebenssicherung ausgewählter Geschichten von Frauen in verschiedenste n Momenten der Verfolgung. Die historische UND Auseinandersetzung mit „eigensinnigen“ Frauen als Akteurinne n im Krieg, soll zu weite r e n gesellschaftlichen Diskursen über ZIVILCOURAGE“ Geschlechterdifferenzen im Krieg, bestehenden Urteilen der NS- Justiz und bislang unbeachtet „Die Verfolgung des Unmuts von Frauen gebliebene Verfolgten und Verfolgern beitragen. im nationalsozialistischen Deutschland Maren Büttner während des Krieges 1939 - 1945.“ Universität Erfurt „Zersetzung und Zivilcourage“ Die Verfolgung des Unmuts von Frauen im nationalsozialistischen Deutschland während des Krieges 1939 – 1945. zur Erlangung eines Grades einer Doktorin der Philosophie -Dr. phil.- Philosophische Fakultät Maren Büttner Dekan: Prof. Dr. Guido Löhrer Gutachter: 1.
