Description:
How did the alliances of
World War 2 break down, and so quickly, after 1945? How close were these
alliances in the first place, and what differences existed between the United
States and the Soviet Union that acted as wedges between these two states and
their respective allies? This seminar focuses on the ideas, events, and people
– as expressed in key documents – of the years immediately after the end of
World War 2, and how the Cold War began.

culture in the postwar period.
