On many occasions, this mistrust was born from a lack of communication, and what one nation perceived as a defensive and reactionary move, the other saw as an aggressive and expansionist show of intent. For the United States, it could be argued that the famous fear and hysteria over Communism was born in 1953. On June 19 1953, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed, after being convicted of being American Communists, and conspiring to pass information about the American Atomic Bomb to the Soviet Union. This execution was extremely important, not only because it was the first execution of civilians for espionage in United States history, but it also confirmed to all American citizens that communist spies could be anywhere in the country. This was supported by the work of Senator Joseph McCarthy, whose extensive and often criticized work in searching out Communists in the US Administration and more general society created a hysterical fear of Communism throughout America.
There may seem to be many motivations for villains throughout the times but as we study these scoundrels we find that generally they are motivated by pure jealousy, or a need of superiority. They utilize manipulation, both physically and mentally in order to achieve their goals and show a lack of remorse. Stephan King’s “Misery”, provides us with a very graphical depiction in Annie Wilkes a sadistic, mentally unstable retired nurse, who has a desire for power and control. Annie goes to tortuous extremes on her captive Paul Sheldon to realize this. Iago from Shakespeare’s play Othello is also a power hungry villain who enjoys having people under his control, he is driven by extreme jealousy and the motivation, revenge.
Seven percent of conspiracy-loving Americans blame the Central Intelligence Agency for Kennedy's death. After the failed Bay of Pigs Invasion of Cuba in 1961, Kennedy and the CIA were on rough terms, leading conspiracy-minded individuals to suspect the CIA retaliated by having the president killed. CIA conspiracies often overlap with mob conspiracies because of revelations that the agency worked with organized crime on its Castro schemes. * The Cubans were also a popular candidate for conspiring on the President’s life. The American government made numerous attempts at killing the infamous Fidel Castro, but it is believed that Castro got to JFK first.
The German people are most fascinating. In the 20th Century, in my opinion, they were the people who had made the most impact in the world today. They developed the most innovative technology during their wars with the world, and also were most receptive to the many periods of change that swept over the rapidly changing country. They managed to fight World War 1 and nearly defeated the Western Allies before the entry of the United States of America. After being stripped of the right to build artillery guns according to the Treaty of Versailles, they began to develop missiles, like the V1 and V2, so as to replace the need for long-range combat support.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt Franklin Delano Roosevelt was born in 1882. He was elected as the 32nd president of the United States on March 1933 (Russell). He served the country for four consecutive terms, taking the country through the crisis of the Great Depression that had hit most industrialized countries at that time and the Second World War. His legislative method alias the New Deal expanded the responsibility of the federal government toward all the American society. His fascinating ideals and confidences steered the American people through the precarious time that was the 1940’s.
On the other hand, the Allies had a good amount of soldiers and the popular support of their people. In addition to a much superior army the Allies also had USA joining the war against Germany. USA joining the war gave the Allies a larger army, troops from the US were arriving at a rate of 300,000 a month. The Schlieffen Plan, to avoid a two-front war by concentrating their troops on one side by quickly defeating the French and then rushing the troops to face the Russians before they had time to mobilize fully, resulted in Britain joining the war. Having to fight two fronts was the one thing that Germany had always dreaded and tried to avoid, this lead to the Germans using the tactic of wearing down France and Britain, which also failed.
The 1956 Suez War marked a new chapter in the development of Middle Eastern politics. The conflict was determined by a clash of interests between Britain and Egypt which gained a global interest in the context of the Cold War. The cold war was a tense relationship between USA and its allies and Russia and its allies which began at the end of ww2 in 1945. The two countries never clashed directly in battle however a huge growth in weapons of mass destruction was very worrying for both countries. The cold war was an international power struggle for dominance of international affairs for decade and many major crises occurred as a result of this such as the Berlin wall.
That’s why the media plays such a crucial role in informing the public – and if they skew the way they convey this information, then the results can be unfortunate. The news media has a large contribution to victim blaming. The media focuses a significant amount of attention on false rape accusations. For example, the Duke lacrosse scandal (three Duke lacrosse players were accused of raping a stripper, but were proven innocent) dominated TV and print news from 2006 to 2007. This case generated a great deal of press time because it brought infamy to the academically prestigious school Duke.
He has been traveling back and forth from France to England and is thought to be a spy. The people in the crowd believe he is guilty and therefore will have to endure the punishment of death. Lucie and Jarvis Lorry are called to the court to testify against him. It is ironic how these two individuals are providing evidence that could doom Darnay when they were the ones who recalled Dr. Manette back to life. The irony grows as Charles Darnay falls in love with Lucie as she offers proof against him.
