Immediately after the Second World War diverging perceptions of how the post-war societies had to be adjusted to the new realities became a ground of growing tensions between former allies – Great Britain, United States and France, on the one hand and the Soviet Union – on the other. Notwithstanding the fact that Western democracies de-facto imposed their political will on the administration style of each of the Western-controlled zones, into which Germany had been divided, they gave a hostile reception to the Soviet Union’s desire to impose communism on what was to become Eastern Germany. The latter, in its

Introduction

Prussian blue was discovered by Diesbach and Dippel between 1704 and 1707 in Berlin and was initially used as a synthetic pigment.

Abstract

Otto von Bismarck in the nineteenth century formed the only German state that three quarters of a century later, has been killed by his own unbridled audacity (Rose, 2013). Bismarck as the founder of the Reich announced that created new Germany is satisfied in its aspirations. But the successors of the first chancellor, and especially Kaiser Wilhelm II considered the Bismarck’s opinion modest and unworthy of a nation that costs more. Dissatisfied ambitions were the cause of both world wars, and that had brought to the German people nothing but misery and suffering. In 1945, the Germans were

Introduction

The state of Germany, as well as its educational system, was in complete shambles following the World War II. There was a clear division as the Cold War proceeded to divide the entire country into two strongly opposing blocs on the basis of ideology and physical strength . Germany was cleanly divided for a period of forty years (1949 – 1989) into a democratic country with a capitalist economy in the West and communist economic system in the East . A unique chapter in world history began as the two sections of the same nation varied extensively and

The tenuous thread of Destiny — Russian mistakes at Stalingrad — Racial mixtures — Sailors on leave.

This excerpt from Hitler’s Table Talk is particularly interesting. Here we have Hitler ranting at how Germany lost the First World War due to the fact that it had manifest destiny against it. He seems to blame the fact that Germany lost that war because it had not started producing tanks fast enough and blames the Home Front for that. He refers to the fact that the industriousness and foresight of such men as Lloyd George and Churchill looked ahead and immediately grasped the huge possibilities that the military tank could offer for better battle advantage.
Hitler also

The artist

Christian Paul Kunsch was born in Hagen in the North German state of Westphalia. He is primarily a husband and father but is also a photographer and Taoist for good measure, also describing himself as ‘European’ on his website. His work which is chiefly in black and white is basically inspired by the work of Bernard Plossu, Francoise Nunez, Henri Cartier Bresson and Lucien Herve. However he claims other influences such as the music of Radiohead, Thom Yorke and Max Richter. Another source of inspiration is Wim Wenders, the film director whose movie, ‘Wings of Desire’ is an important

Part I:

Chicken Little was playing with Nel and Sula when he drowned. Sula helped him climb a big spreading beech tree that had great branches to sit on. Nel watched them climb. On the way down, Sula held Chicken Little’s hands and swung him around in the air as he laughed. Then, he slipped from her hands and fell into the water, still laughing. They watched expecting him to come splashing back up. Sula could still feel and remember how hard his little hands felt in hers. But, he did not come back up, to tease and taunt, he

Soviet Union was a communist country while the other three allied forces were democratic and capitalist countries. Soon their relationship soured with the Soviet Union, resulting in the bifurcation

1. The Berlin Wall
The Berlin Wall, as pointed out in the question, was larger than just Berlin or Germany. The wall divided the world and was a very real representation of the metaphorical “iron curtain”. Indeed, the division of Germany and Berlin represented the beginning of the Cold War.
The wall was erected in August of 1961 by the East German government in order to stem the tide of East Germans who were able to go freely from East Berlin to West Berlin, and from there seek asylum. Before the wall was built, over 3 million people had

The Western leaders condemned the Wall as old and archaic, and that it was mainly built to keep progress out and people inside the walls. On the other hand, the wall builders vindicated their work as a necessary defense against the primitive forces of the West. According to the West, the wall’s need arose from Historical Discrepancy, between the West and the rest of the world. The wall was also built during the authoritarian and totalitarian age, which portrayed the cold war as the continuation of the West Struggle in World War II in the Germany context. Later,
