10. Social Shifts of the Pendulum Pre WWI Post WWI

11. Shifts

19. “ I suggest the comrades think about a way of removing Stalin from that post and appointing another man in his stead who in all other respects differs from Comrade Stalin in having only one advantage, namely, that of being more tolerant, more loyal, more polite, and more considerate to the comrades.” Vladimir Lenin

30. Lenin and Stalin in Summer 1917

31. Roses for Stalin

32. Young Steel Workers

33. The End (The last Hours in Hitler's Bunker)

35. Not without certain irony, Nikolai Yezhov, the young man strolling with Stalin, is shot in 1940. It seems only fitting that when Yezhov is removed from the photograph he is replaced by the waters of the Moscow-Volga Canal. Yezhov was commissar of water transport.

37. Propagandists seize every opportunity to get their message across. In the original of this photo, the sign on the building says, "Watches, gold and silver." Now it reads, "Struggle for your rights." Likewise the flag being waved says, "Down with the monarchy - long live the Republic!" has no visible words in the original.

38. Lenin and Trotsky celebrate the second anniversary of the Russian Revolution in Red Square.

39. Lenin Celebrates, but Trotsky has been airbrushed out. Trotsky and Lenin (top center of stairs) in 1919 photograph of a Red Square celebration is of the anniversary of the revolution. To make it suitable for a 1967 book of Lenin Photos, Trotsky is removed.

40. Trotsky, left, reads Pravda , the Bolshevik newspaper he once edited. In 1925, Stalin ousts Trotsky as commissar of war. At right, a citizen has scratched Trotsky's picture from his own history book, as part of the citizen's "personal responsibility" to support the Communist Party.

64. A Nazi Baptism?

66. The Rome-Berlin-Tokyo Axis is created Joined together as western democracies appeared weak to fight Soviet communism and not to interfere with one another’s expansion

68. How does this reflect the nationalist policies of these three countries?

72. Guernica Guernica challenges our notions of warfare as heroic and exposes it as a brutal act of self-destruction. Guernica remains ambiguous. When asked to explain his symbolism, Picasso remarked, "It isn't up to the painter to define the symbols. Otherwise it would be better if he wrote them out in so many words! The public who look at the picture must interpret the symbols as they understand them

73. But Hitler was amassing his troops. Preparing his new lightning war “Blitzkrieg”

76. Had Hitler agree to a promise of no further military action – believed him to be a man of honor “Peace in our time”

77. Which of those reasons for appeasement does this best illustrate?

78. For Hitler it meant that Russia would not stand in the way of his planned invasion of Poland. And if war should result, he would not have to fight on two fronts. For Stalin, the pact protected his country, at least temporarily from German invasion Not so… Nazi – Soviet Pact ? POLAND Who’s lying between them?

81. The world from 1936 on was divided into 3 major blocs: the Axis powers of Germany, Italy and Japan; the major capitalist democracies headed by Britain, France and the US; and the huge Communist-led Soviet Union, shunned by all the rest

82. Anti-communist Deplored fascism but saw Communism as a bigger threat Pledged in theory to overthrow capitalism everywhere

83. Winston Churchill Replaces the disgraced Chamberlain as British Prime minister

87. Troops waiting to evacuate! Their backs to the sea, British & French troops line up to run away from the Nazis. Every able ship in Britain tries to cross the channel to assist. Heroic event in the eyes of the Allies

88. During the early part of the war, Britain was going through what was known as "The Phony War“ (months of preparing and waiting for war). But it was not until a fleet of boats and ships began to arrive at Dover from Dunkirk with thousands of battle torn and weary troops that had been defeated on the northern European mainland, that the war really struck home.

89. France Invaded France surrenders in six weeks, June, 1940, and a pro- Nazi government (Vichy) is set up to control France.

90. France forced to surrender in the exact train car in which Germany signed WWI armistice.

122. The Atlantic Charter This meeting took place in August of 1941 and set the goals for the war such as destroying Nazi tyranny and creating a permanent system of security for all nations to choose their form of govt What is “interesting” about this date?

123. The Atlantic Charter , a joint proclamation by the United States and Britain declaring that they were fighting the Axis powers to "ensure life, liberty, independence and religious freedom and to preserve the rights of man and justice." The Atlantic Charter served as a foundation stone for the later establishment of the United Nations , setting forth several principles for the nations of the world, including -- the renunciation of all aggression, right to self- government , access to raw materials, freedom from want and fear, freedom of the seas, and disarmament of aggressor nations. Churchill Roosevelt

125. Japanese General and Prime Minister Hideki Tojo (1885 - 1948). Japanese military leaders embarked on a dual policy of tightening control at home while engaging in a series of imperialist conquests abroad

126. The United States refused to trade raw materials to Japan because of its attacks on China and South Asia. So………….

150. Stalin’s Red Army in the East completes the invasion of Berlin. For Stalin this was a propaganda move. It would show that the Russians had the strongest army in the world.
