Essays on Berlin

German authority and hesitations have since decided the determination of strategy choices in the EU. There is the inexorably intergovernmental modus methodology of the EU system. Foreign accomplices, for example, the U.S. progressively recognize Berlin as the strategic place in the Euro zone. Concerns about Germany's future remote and security role persevere. The change of political initiative in Berlin was caused by the September 2013. Federal decisions have expanded the interest for investigation of German European, external, and security strategies. Basing on the above notions, it is true that the making of Europe was Germany’s answer to its ...

In this essay we will discuss the significant impact of Karl Theodor Wilhelm Weierstrass on mathematics.

Karl Theodor Wilhelm Weierstrass was born October 31, 1815 in the small German town Ostenfeld, in Westphalia. His father, Wilhelm Weierstrass, was an officer, the secretary of the mayor. In those days it was a very prestigious position.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Introduction

Built in 1961, the Berlin Wall was a physical barrier that kept West Berlin and East Germany separate for 28 years from 1961 to 1989. After World War II came to an end, the allied powers comprised of the Unites States, Great Britain, Soviet Union and France divided the vanquished Germany and Berlin into four zones each and each of these zones was occupied by either of the allied forces. 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, ...

Life in East Berlin was quite different from that of West Berlin. Most of the citizens of East Berlin saw the state as being illegitimate, it was artificial and as a puppet of the Stalin regime. They were very opposed to the enforcement of a single party state of the ruling Socialist Unity Party. They viewed the state of West Germany as being more attractive. Most of the East Germans commonly viewed the Socialist Unity Party as the Russian party not as a German party (Ross 25). However this was not the only aspect of life in East Germany, ...

Both Christiana and Hanna Flanders, respectively, struggle with the newfound rise of capitalism and its effects on the GDR they once knew. In this respect, themes of simulation and nostalgia underlie the sociopolitical dimension of these films, as the characters construct more comfortable realities around themselves to address their own anxieties about the future of the GDR and their place ...

Thesis and Literature Synopsis

Thesis Statement

The defeat of German Nazism led to the division of Germany into four administrative areas overseen by four WWII allies who already had strained relationships. This strained tension would inevitably lead to some unwanted outcome. The main problem became how to solve or at least contain the problem without another violent world war. The situation developed into the Cold War with Western Allies taking steps to counteract the aggression of the Soviet Union without starting another World War. My thesis is that the tension between countries that were Allies during WWII ironically led to the Cold War.

Anyone who studies the history of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union would be familiar with the names of John F. Kennedy and Nikita Khrushchev, especially in their contribution to the resolution of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Both leaders have immensely created a stir of decisions pertaining to the crisis, and found a compromise to end the clash between the two nations. Despite their pivotal role in the Cuban Missile Crisis, it is unclear to many as to how close the two leaders were before and after the crisis. Although their nations have constantly ...

This paper will analyse the a key political speech given by US president John F Kennedy in West Berlin June 26th 1963 commonly referred to as the “Ich bin ein Berliner” speech, literally translating as “I am a Berliner” although perhaps more amusingly making reference to a local food “I am a do-nut.” (Bruner 319-328) The historical context of the speech may be seen as an important factor in considering the importance of the speech as much as the words and language of the piece itself. To this extent, the speech was given in the capital of Germany a ...

Book Review: The Cold War by John Lewis Gaddis

Introduction

The eventual collapse of the agreement between the USSR, Britain and the United States in 1945 after the end of the World War II set the platform for the cold war. An anti-communist policy, commonly called the Truman doctrine, declared in 1947 by President Truman of the USA spoke clearly of the atmosphere that would prevail (Gaddis 30). The resulting tension between the communist and capitalist ideologies is what came to be known as the Cold War. Since it never resulted into armed confrontation or ...

The term "Cold War" was introduced by Winston Churchill during his speech at Fulton (USA) on March 5, 1946.

The reasons of it are reasonable if to take into account that even Hitler himself was confident of a huge controversy ...

Prior to highlight the main event of the 20th century we should realize that there are events that were expected to happen. In one way or another, sooner or later they would have to occur because everything in this world has its reasons and consequences.
On my opinion, the main criterion that marks out the most important moment in the history beyond others is its unexpectedness, significance and timeliness. According to this thought, I can tell that the most important events of the 20th century can be called the First and the Second World Wars.

Twelve people, including the chief editor at the time, were shot by assault rifles. Two weeks later, an Islamic terrorist group affiliated with al-Qaeda based in Yemen, took responsibility for the attack which, along with an attack that took place in 2011, were acts of revenge for the public dissemination of a satirical cartoon that targeted Muslims and poked fun at the prophet Muhammad. Such acts of violence aimed at Charlie Hebdo, especially the most one, are viewed ...

The phrase, The World is Flat, spotlights Friedman's perspective of competition that has provided a level playing field in many aspects. Now, people can mingle like never before; technology can be updated in no time; goods can be transferred untrammeled across borders. Though there are limitations to a certain level, it is fact that the world is getting shorter, or flatter, in Friedman's lexicon. In his book, The World is Flat: A Brief History of the 21st Century, Friedman has delineated ten flatteners out of which, I feel, the two deserve explanation at greater length; the collapse of Berlin ...

The world is full of connections; life connects humans to things, and vice versa. And this is very much portrayed through literary works. For instance, a very important family matter is talked about in Walker’s Everyday Use, and that is all about remembering and considering one’s own heritage. When Dee Wangero said “You just don’t understand your heritage” (America Public University System 375), what she meant is that they seem to forget their heritage – which points them to the quilts. A heritage ought to be very meaningful to every member of any family. ...

Throughout history, slavery was always a brutal, violent and coercive system of forced labor, but plantation slavery in the Americas was the harshest version of all, particularly in the sugar-producing areas of Brazil and the West Indies. Over 90% of African slaves were sent to these areas and the death rate was so high that the African slave trade continued to supply them illegally into the 19th Century even though it had been officially abolished. Aristocratic elites of large landowners dominated all slave societies, which tended to be politically authoritarian in nature. Slavery was also a profitable and expanding ...

The specific reasons that can clearly explain events that triggered the cold war cannot be determined conclusively. The world war two victories of United States and their longtime allies known as the Soviet Union showed an excellent relationship between the two (Gaddis,30) . They worked collectively in terms of military and political strengths which made them winners.

Writings of any kind and form and movies represent humans’ projection upon life, their feelings, thoughts, desires and aspirations regarding the world they live in.

The key common component of these two representations stays in their theme, which is the loss of innocence, the awakening and the fight for freedom, rejecting imposed ideologies and authorities.
