Europe Between Hitler and StalinThe First World War left a deep imprint on
European society and policy Soldiers came to be placed above civilians Politicians and publicists laid great stress on the
need for men to be aggressive, strong and masculine
Democracy was a young and fragile ideaThis gave birth to communism and dictatorship

COMMUNISM The ideas were based on Karl Marx’s writings Everything was to be equal – those who had
things should share with those who do not Socialism would eventually take over the
capitalist countries because workers would get fed up of being exploited
The idea was that people would work together for the good of everyone
The government would share the profits and everyone would receive the benefits

Joseph Stalin A totalitarian government is one where there is only
one party allowed - the ruling party In Stalin’s Russia this meant that the Communist
Party was supreme The people are expected to be totally loyal to the
state and to the person at the head of the government
Stalin ruled as a dictator, commanding his people with absolute power
He conducted many purges against his rivals and introduced a new constitution which reinforced his power

Adolf Hitler The crisis in the economy, polity and society formed
the background to Hitler’s rise to power The German defeat horrified him and the Versailles
Treaty made him furious The crimes that the Nazi’s committed were linked to a
system of belief and a set of practices The crimes that the Nazi‟s committed were linked to a
system of belief and a set of practices Under the shadow of war, the Nazi‟s proceeded to
realise their murderous, racial ideal. Genocide and war became two sides of the same coin

IntroductionThe Cold War began to form after World War II. The disagreements started between 1947-1951. The world split into two large organizations NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) and the Warsaw pact. Many people believed at that time that a nuclear war would start. The main tensions were between The Soviet Union (“Russia”) and The United States. Both sides and their allies were building up their weapons but did not use them. It was a fight between political systems for power.

The US vs. the Soviet Union
Lots of the conflict happened in Germany because it had borders with allies of the Warsaw Pact and NATO. Russia became
communist and also captured many countries: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan. Together with the Russian Federation these fifteen republics formed the USSR.
The United States also was affected by the Cold War because of the Bay of Pigs an the Cuban Missile crisis.

How it startedCapitalists and Communists had been clashing since the Russian revolution but the disagreements got worse after World War II. Germany had been split up into many parts when World War II ended. The Soviet Union had the east but which also had Berlin. The United States, France, Britain, and The Soviet Union all had a part of Berlin. The Soviet Union wanted the rest of Berlin and that’s how the Berlin Blockade got started.
