Why did most Americans not see the war from the perspective of the Germans?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The prevailing opinion in Germany before our entry into war, was, that American was a money hunting nation, too engrossed in the hunt of the dollar to produce a strong military force. But since our troops have been in action the opinion has changed, and he says that though Germany is at present a defeated nation, he believes that they would be victors in a war with any nation in the world with the exemption of the United States.”

—Karl Finkl of Bolingen

“Americans are good fighters with nerve and recklessness.”

“I fought in campaigns against the Russian Army, the Serbian Army, the Roumanian Army, the British Army, the French Army, and the American Army. All told in this war I have participated in more than 80 battles. I have found your American Army the most honorable of all our enemies. You have also been the bravest of our enemies and in fact the only ones who have attacked us seriously in this year’s battles. I therefore honor you, and, now that the war is over, I stand ready, for my part, to accept you as a friend.”

—Chief of Staff for General von Einem, commander of the Third German Army

(Photo for proof below.)

Explanation:

The Bolsheviks (rulers at the time) signed the treaty of Brest-Litovsk and Russia gave up valuable territory, including a lot of coal and iron mines. Religious leaders and royalists opposed this action and joined the White army, which is an army that revolts against the Bolsheviks. The White Army wasn't sure if they wanted the Tsar, who had been overthrown by the Bolsheviks, back in power. But they did want the Bolsheviks out. This caused the Bolsheviks to arrest and execute the Tsar and his family in fear of the Tsar returning to power.

Explanation:

Why was the Soviet Union so optimistic in the mid-1980's?

Answers

Answer:decade that brought the end of the Cold War and most other wars, the spread of democracy practically everywhere and the rise of environmental consciousness cannot be all bad. (Alternative intro: A decade that saw the rise of AIDS and the drug wars, the crushing of the democratic aspirations of one-fifth of mankind and the advent of the ozone hole and the greenhouse effect is a decade that leaves a lot to be desired.)

Well, of course. History is like the curate`s egg: good in parts. But I have been a professional gloom-monger for a long time now (no news is good news, but usually, for journalists, good news is no news), and I cannot remember a time when I felt so optimistic about the state of the world.

Conditionally optimistic, certainly. All the good news and hopeful prospects could go down the tubes without so much as a gurgle if there is a successful counter-revolution in the Soviet Union-which is a possibility, though one that diminishes slightly with each month. A reactionary regime in Moscow would not just be bad news for Soviet citizens; it would blight all our lives.

To maintain itself in power and justify severe domestic repression, a reactionary, neo-Bolshevik regime in Moscow would need foreign enemies. That would mean a return to the Cold War and an acute crisis in Central and Eastern Europe.

Worse, the international system, which is just starting to show signs of functioning in accord with rational and human values, would collapse into deadlock again. This would thwart all attempts to coordinate action on the really important long-term issues that affect all mankind: the environment, and the gulf between North and South.

But assuming (with fingers crossed) that the Soviets can keep their manifold problems under control and stagger onward toward their constantly receding future of democracy and prosperity, then the sea change in the international environment is real. The world may still be overwhelmed by its long-term problems in two or three more decades, but at least this change creates the possibility that that time will be used to try to solve the problems.

Explanation:

The Soviet Union was optimistic because a conservative, neo-Bolshevik leadership in Moscow would require international foes to stay in power and justify harsh domestic repression.

What was the cause of the Soviet Union's newfound optimism?

This presumed in the mid 1980s that if there is a successful counter-revolution in the Soviet Union which is a possibility, though one that is diminishing with each month and all the good news and positive prospects might vanish without a gurgle.

A conservative, neo-Bolshevik administration in Moscow would need international adversaries to stay in power and justify harsh home repression.

Therefore, in mid-1980s, the Soviet Union became optimistic.

Eventually, people like Nixon and Kennedy would try and crackdown or appease the protests but as the soldiers began to lose thought of what to fight for, the VC had been winning the war and becoming stronger, and situation with the protesters at home had been boiling into crisis level, Richard Nixon had realized he let America go to hell long enough and left Vietnam and got pretty destroyed reputably for his undeniable corruption scandals.

What was Nikita Khrushchev's motive in denouncing the legacy of Stalin?

Answers

Answer:

B - to convince the West to invest in the Soviet Union

Explanation:

Cementing his legitimacy.

Had Khrushchev not denounced Stalin, he would have had to compete with his legacy. This would have been hard to do, Stalin’s reign saw the country rise from an agrarian backwater wracked by civil war to an industrial powerhouse that won in the Great Patriotic war and developed the atom bomb.

However, if the emphasis were placed on the negative aspects of Stalin’s reign, purges, GULAG system, then Khrushchev would have a relatively free hand to break with Stalin’s projects, such as the agricultural climate optimization. On the other hand, he would not be obliged to compete with Stalin in ability, where he would be unlikely to come out ahead.

There was also the matter of the murder/execution of Beria, Stalin’s right hand man. Khrushchev led a palace coup to neutralize Beria and take power. If Stalin, and by extension Beria were turned into monsters, its unlikely that anyone would look into Beria’s dubious arrest and execution and use it as a pretext for their own coup.
