21. Cold War

Image
During  World War II , the United States and the  Soviet Union  fought together as allies against the Axis powers. However, the relationship between the two nations was a tense one. Americans had long been wary of Soviet  communism  and concerned about Russian leader  Joseph Stalin ’s tyrannical, blood-thirsty rule of his own country. For their part, the Soviets resented the Americans’ decades-long refusal to treat the USSR as a legitimate part of the international community as well as their  delayed entry  into World War II, which resulted in the deaths of tens of millions of Russians. After the war ended, these grievances ripened into an overwhelming sense of mutual distrust and enmity.  Postwar Soviet expansionism in Eastern Europe fueled many Americans’ fears of a Russian plan to control the world. Meanwhile, the USSR came to resent what they perceived as American officials’ bellicose rhetoric (tough talk), arms buildup and interventio...

8. 1920's Prosperity

One of the great mysteries of the twentieth century is how the U.S. economy could have gone from a state of unprecedented prosperity in the 1920s to one of unprecedented failure in the 1930s. In the 1920s, jobs were plentiful, the economy was growing and the standard of living was rising. Between 1920 and 1929, home ownership had doubled, and most home-owning families enjoyed amenities, including electric lights and flush toilets, once regarded as luxuries. Sixty percent of all households had automobiles, up from 26 percent in 1920. More teenagers were attending high school; fewer were working full time. Leading political and economic figures of the day said that the United States appeared to have reached “a permanent plateau of peace and prosperity.” 1.  How was the economy doing in the 1920's ? Give one example expanding doing good  But by 1933 at least one fourth of the U.S. labor force was unemployed, and about the same percentage was working shorter hours, which reduced t...

16. Kristallnacht - Night if Broken Glass

Image
On November 9 to November 10, 1938, in an incident known as  “Kristallnacht”, Nazis in Germany torched synagogues, vandalized Jewish  homes, schools and businesses and killed close to 100 Jews. In the  aftermath of Kristallnacht, also called the “Night of Broken Glass,” some  30,000 Jewish men were arrested and sent to Nazi concentration camps.  German Jews had been subjected to repressive policies since 1933, when  Nazi Party leader Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) became chancellor of Germany.  However, prior to Kristallnacht, these Nazi policies had been primarily  nonviolent. After Kristallnacht, conditions for German Jews grew  increasingly worse. During World War II (1939-45), Hitler and the Nazis  implemented their so-called “Final Solution” to the what they referred to as  the “Jewish problem,” and carried out the systematic murder of some 6  million European Jews in what...
