Cold War - Photo Gellary

Atomic bomb

Most of the people believed that Cold War had started since the first atomic bomb was dropped by the American on Japan, Hiroshima city in 1945. From that time on other countries, especially USSR started to build such powerful weapons as the Atomic bomb. Which made it worse for the relation between the USA. If I were living during those days, I would be scared to death. I might even build bomb shelter to protect from such weapon.

Arms race

Arms race is one of the major causes of Cold War. Many different countries around the world (mainly USA and USSR) were always the top two countries racing in a tie score. Missiles were the new technology introduces to the armies, and it made them more powerful. If I were living during those days, I would live each day as if they were the last. Just because of a press of a button the whole world could have come to an end.

Berlin Wall

Berlin wall symbolize Cold War had really begin. It was built to separate the Capitalist from Communist in Berlin. The wall was built for many reasons and it cut off relation between the Soviet Union and the West. This made the Soviet leader Khrushchev more embarrassed. Thinking about living in a country like Berlin those days would be hard. Staying in a city divided into half would be the last place I would wanted to be.

Korean War

Korean War was the First Proxy war during Cold War. The fighting started between the capitalist powers supported by the USA, later by the U.N Communist power supported by the Chinese and secretly by the USSR “Under the Red Carpet”. The fighting was started in 1950 and ended during 1953. The cost of the war separated the North Koreans (Communist) from the South Koreans (Capitalist) at 38 Parallel. Living during would be like Refugees because there were a lot of fighting going back and forth.

Vietnam War

Another Proxy war during the Cold War occurs in Vietnam. This time was to keep the dominion theory. The US never declares war on North Vietnam. This time the Communist (North Vietnam) had won the war which was the most shocking war for the US because they had never lost a war. If I were alive those days I would be protesting to stop the war fought for nothing.

Hot line

There was not proper communication during the cold war. The leader of the most power full countries US and USSR were cut off in communication. Without any communication they can’t talk about peace accept to fight. So the red phone was put on the desk of the leaders to talk about PEACE.

Cold War Project Map

Iron Curtain

The red line on the map indicates the split between Capitalism (Western Europe) and Communism (Eastern Europe). The East was under the control of Russia called the Satellite states. The East goes to the controls of Britain, France and USA. Germany was the only country split into half. The cold war was never fought at Europe.

Berlin Airlift

This map represents the Berlin airlift. The Line in the middle indicates the return of the planes trail and the left trail, right trail shows the entering direction. Berlin was also split into half because most of the important government buildings were in capital. This was divided into two sectors, for the capitalist and communist. Stalin made the blockade to West Berlin because it was the capitalist so the West Germany had to send supplies by air.

Latter to a Friend

Dear: Friend

I wrote this letter on behalf of fear. Now you would probably know that we will be separated for ever. I just don’t get it why built a wall to separate the city. It was very awful thing that I had witness. Last two nights ago I was coming home late from my work at West Berlin. When I was about to open the front door I heard soldier shouting “hurry up, quickly”. They were carrying bob wire and laying it straight the street separated between our houses. I was standing there watching them, and one of the soldiers came straight up to me and said “Sir, please go into your house”. My reply was “why should I this is my property”. He reach his gun told me the same thing again; I was scared so I went running straight into my house and close all the light. I went to bad quickly without changing. Next mourning I woke up early and look out side. The road was split into half by bob wire and the soldiers were standing watching the labors building the wall. I stay inside that day thinking why they are building the wall. That evening I was just about to come to your house to give you some papers, suddenly I hard gun fire. So I ran back to my house and pack my things incase if something happen. That night I could not sleep. I was just sitting and watching the street quietly from the window. I stay up awake until six and than my eye close without control. Than a phone rang, it was you who called me. I just woke up so I couldn’t say a word than with surprise we got disconnected. I went out of my house this time and saw a big wall been built and I read the news front page said “Berlin is cut for ever”.

Don’t tell anyone that I wrote this letter and wrote me back too. Just scramble the paper and throw it on to my roof floor.

Your friend

Russian Propaganda

Russian Propaganda Theme

The theme I’m concentrating on is about the power of Communism and how Communism could give advantages to the people. As you know Russia was the first country to have a Communist Government, so at first People didn’t know how good Communism was to the Russian people compared to the Absolute Monarchy. For instance, Communism provided equal rights, food, land & peace which people had wanted. Moreover, it helped Russian army and industries develop more than they ever had in the past.

This propaganda was about Lenin introducing Communism to the Russian people.
His left hand was up and that means he will offer peace, land & bread to the Russian people. On the other hand he was holding a Russian Communist Flag which means in exchange of his offer, the Russian people must accept his control and his way of leading the country. The white fur-coat represents his richness, and the gun represents his power.
This poster is related to the theme in a way which Lenin was the first person to accomplish his dream to be a communist leader.

This poster was published after Lenin’s death. In this poster Stalin is next to Lenin, which describes that he is the next Communist leader for Russia. The people were happy even after Lenin’s death, and which means the people loved and respected the new leader Stalin. In this poster the red color represents the power of Stalin. It was related to the theme in a way because Communism was still growing even after Lenin’s death.

http://posters.nce.buttobi.net/russ3.htm

This poster is about Stalin - he is giving a command to the comrades by pointing his finger toward WWII to fight out the Germans from his motherland. In this poster the Red color represents the power of Communists and the black color as Stalin’s Army. As you can see there are many people who are willing to fight and protect Russia; this means Nationalism is growing inside the hearts of Russian people. This poster is related to the theme because it describes how Communism was appreciated by Russian people.

My Favorite

-The message of the poster is the communist party promotes peace and construction.
-This poster is getting peasants to work.
-After having peace with Germany and taking land from the capitalist peasants are more freely to work.
-The large industries and large building on the poster make people wanted to work more.

Conclusion

The propaganda posters that were been posted on the internet shows that Russia was the first country to have communist government. The father of communist party was Lenin, he and his party was very organized. Russia was lucky to have a leader like Lenin, because he was the one who bring peace, land & food. People who live during those days had to work hard and the food was ration at first because of war communism.
Most of the propaganda had some sort of messages to the people. As you all know red color was the main color of communism and the father of communist party was Lenin. Most of the poster make by the communist government it was about forcing people to participate in different kind of work. There are many peasants and industries workers, so the posters are mostly about them. In most of the poster they got some sort of Russian words which explain the posters. During those days posters were like news paper so they just read the propaganda posters for new information on what the government was doing.
In most of the poster were use to promote equality between classes, women working, Describing Lenin power, and how communism was good for the people of Russia, Saying the red army was batter then the white. In those day propaganda was not as much important or par attention by many people as before.
