working class.
• And in actual fact Russian Marxism, since it had risen in a country
still not industrialized and with no developed proletariat, was bound
to be torn by a moral self-contradiction which weighed upon the
conscience of many Russian socialists.
• Communism, a theory and system of social and political
organization that was a major force in world politics for much of the

Republic
•
•
•
The Weimar Republic faced many
problems. The greatest danger was
probably 'the weakness within' - the
constitution gave the President, the
states and the army too much power,
while proportional voting meant that
the Reichstag was divided and weak.
In 1919–1923, extremists on both the
Left [especially the Spartacist revolt]
and the Right [especially the Kapp
Putsch] tried to overthrow the
government.
The worst crisis occurred in 1923,
when the French invaded to try to
force Germany to pay reparations.
This led to hyperinflation and a
number of rebellions [particularly
Hitler's Munich Putsch].
One of the main
problems for the Weimar
government was the
Right-Wing
Dolchstosslegende - the
claim that the Army had
been 'stabbed in the
back' by the
government [whom the
Right called 'the
November criminals’].

was an idea which owed its creation to soldiers of
several nations: the British theorists of tank warfare
Major General J.F.C. Fuller, who pioneered the first

• Iron Curtain" is a term used to describe the boundary that
separated the Warsaw pact countries from the NATO
countries from about 1945 until the end of the Cold War in
1991. The Iron Curtain was both a physical and an ideological
division that represented the way Europe was viewed after
World War II. To the east of the Iron Curtain were the countries
that were connected to or influenced by the former Soviet
Union. This included part of Germany (East Germany),
Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, and
Albania (until 1960 when it aligned with China). While
Yugoslavia was communist politically it was not considered to
be a part of the Eastern Bloc or behind the Iron Curtain. The
other countries to the west of the Iron Curtain had
democratic governments.

Churchill, who first used it in a public speech in March of 1946.

• Although the term Eastern Europe was largely defined during the
Cold War, and used more or less synonymously with Eastern Bloc
and Second World, it still remains much in use.[1] However, two
decades after the demolition of the Iron Curtain, many feel that the
term is becoming increasingly outdated due to its Cold War era
connotations that suggest alienating stereotypes of Soviet-style
economic, political and cultural development. Therefore, in the
context of Central Europe, the label Eastern European is now
regarded as inappropriate. "Capitalism against Communism can no
longer be used to clarify difference; instead vague and imprecise
definitions exist. These too, are slowly being eroded as Eastern and
Western Europe merge into a single 'Europe

missile crisis
•
At midday, and again in the early evening of October 16, 1962, John F.
Kennedy called together a group of his closest advisers at the White House.
Late the night before, the CIA had produced detailed photo intelligence
identifying Soviet nuclear missile installations under construction on the
island of Cuba, some ninety miles off the Florida coast; now the president
and his men confronted the dangerous decision of how the United States
should respond. .
•
Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara outlined three possible courses of
action for the president: "the political course of action" of openly
approaching Castro, Khrushchev, and U.S. allies in a gambit to resolve the
crisis diplomatically, an option that McNamara and others considered
unlikely to succeed; "a course of action that would involve declaration of
open surveillance" coupled with "a blockade against offensive weapons
entering Cuba"; and "military action directed against Cuba, starting with an
air attack against the missiles." Much of the conversation that day centered
on the military option and the hazardous unknowns of Soviet retaliation,
including the possibility of nuclear escalation. "I don't believe we have
considered the consequences," McNamara told the president. "I don't know
quite what kind of a world we live in after we've struck Cuba, and we, we've
started it.... How, how do we stop at that point?"
