Post War Of World War II

While the aftermath of World War II is often referred to as one of the primary creators of deep rooted turmoil in the Middle East region, the effects of the Cold War and the United States often over-zealous battle against communism is just as much a contributor if not more. The Arab world and the Middle East region were clearly going through quite an extraordinary period throughout World War II and its conclusion, primarily with the creation of most of the states we recognize today and struggling with the continuation of colonialism. These factors set the stage for the emergence of strong nationalist sentiments and Pan-Arab movements across the Middle East. Unfortunately, and much to the detriment of the region, the leaders of these young

The end of World War II was not just the end of war, but also the beginning of a new nation and era in the United States. The war was not all great to those that returned; the most common problem during this time was the return of American vets to their country. Many mans returned to their hometowns and newly developed cities to finally settle down and begin a family. Many of them were soldiers and prewar students, but they didn’t have a set place within the post-war society, and this created stress and struggled. The veteran return from war created a population and housing boom created by the benefits that each had from the GI bill. The post-war economic demand and the expanding of the Civil Rights movement led to many conflicts and discrimination in housing, education, and jobs. The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) created policies that reinforced forms of segregation, and regularly denied low-interest loans to non-whites.

After World War I, many Americans feared the idea that communism would spread, they called this concern “The Red Scare”. Americans were wary of the spreading of communism after the Russian Revolution, in their paranoia America attempted to block new incomers, especially eastern and southern Europeans. In addition to The Red Scare, there were limited jobs in America, because of this generations of workers whose families had immigrated before the 1900s, began to view new incomers as a threat because they would work for lower pay and further reduce the jobs available for the nativists . Due to these concerns, immigration regulations went into effect. For instance,

more than 1.6 million were killed in Auschwitz, they didn 't feed babies to see how long

A. Many people immigrated to Canada following the war. Most immigrants settled in the cities such as Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver.

The antiracist activities during the post-WWII era were in a complicated situation, it reached certain success in several areas, in educations, job markets, and cultural development and so on. And yet, it was inevitably hindered by numerous backlashes from different aspects of the movements. Interestingly, people tend to ignore the activisms at that time, like Manning Marable suggests in his Race, Reform, and Rebellion, historians rarely discuss the black movement of the post-war and cold war period (Marable, 17). In this paper, I would like to discover the merits and weaknesses of the movements in 1940 to 1960, and figuring why they are being overlooked.

It is striking how much our world has changed in the last 75 years; our technology as well as our knowledge has advanced by leaps and bounds. The World War II era was a time of rampant progression for America on many levels. Women entered the workforce out of necessity, and as a result women became a driving force in the economy: they made money, and they spent it. Marketing agencies understood this and they began tailoring their advertisements toward women. When war broke out and we began shipping our men off to battle, marketing agencies used the American people’s sympathies toward our soldiers to sell more products. With the limited knowledge about the products they were selling, advertisements from this era focused more on how the item made them “cool”, how it was “good for you”, and how it was the better than the rest – all without truly understanding the product, or the long – term effects it might create. Modern advertising has changed dramatically, with the advancement of so many fields; we have more information about the products that are being sold, and there are many more regulations about truth in advertising. It’s a completely different playing field for marketing firms today, they have to employ far more creativity to hook an audience and get their message across than our counterparts in the WWII era. Advertising has a powerful role in shaping the culture of a nation, and has the power to change self-perception. Cigarette advertisements are one of the best

Many events had led to the U.S turning away from international affairs after World War One, this making them an isolationist nation. Isolationism is the policy of remaining apart from affairs and otr interests of other groups, political affairs of other countries.

Most people think D-Day is a day that we freed France. This is true , however, there is much more to it. Many soldiers deceased, and people lost loved ones. One of the bloodiest battles in World War II was on June 6, 1944 on Omaha , Juno, Gold,   Sword, and Utah beaches to free France from the Nazis ' and make them surrender.(D-Day by Martha Brack Martin) People have been told that the cause of the war was because Hitler believed in the perfect race. This may be true, but others have different reasons. Dwight D. Eisenhower entered the war to help plan for D-Day and lead them into the war. He was responsible for the whole thing. Franklin Roosevelt may have helped and same with Winston Churchill.

From the beginning Of World War II in 1939 until the end in 1945, the battles between the Allied and Axis powers were violent and caused great destruction. It became a world dispute after the attack on Pearl Harbor. From then on, countries such as the United States, France, Germany, Japan, the Soviet Union, and many others fought vigorously until a victory was achieved. World War II officially began after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and the United States declared war. The war was made up of a series of major events such as the Battle of El Alamein, the Battle of Leyte Gulf, the Battle of Stalingrad, and D-Day which all lead to the victory of the Allied powers.

The second World War left Europe in disarray after countless bombs and bullets had gone off across the continent. Cities everywhere were annihilated to rubble and left with empty streets. European countries were in need of help after so many years of fighting. There was no infrastructure to for these countries to grow upon. Similarly, there was no money for reconstruction and there were no clear ways of organizing fiscal reconstruction. The world needed to convene to help these countries return to the now amicable Europe. In order for reconstruction of these countries, there needs to be a restructuring of fiscal policies, available currency, violence prevention and the actual construction itself. In the post World War II era, the United States of America

The end of World War II was not just the end of a war, but also the beginning of a tense and dynamic period that affected society on all levels. This “postwar” period, as it became known, shaped the world, as we know it today; likewise, the period was shaped itself both by the war that had preceded it, and the powerful forces that surrounded it. As the energy of fundamentally different ideologies, Communism and Democracy collided with advances in science such as the nuclear bomb, a dangerous environment ensued that created an atmosphere of paranoia throughout the world and especially, within America.

Marshall Berman’s take on modernity is presented in his book All That Is Solid Melts into Air whereby he focuses on its issues and the cultural attitudes and philosophies towards the modern condition. In doing so he shares his experiences of modernity post WWII in New York in the height of an economic boom and then more specifically of his childhood neighbourhood, the Bronx. In addition to expanded austerity, industrial and architectural development, the end of WWII proved to be a key period in world history and by extension the history of art. A talented group of artists emerged in result that had been influenced by an influx of established European artist who had fled to New York to escape fascist regimes in their homelands. More importantly these artists produced art that was at the heart of maelstrom Berman describes in regards to his experience of modernity. I aim to highlight the correlation between Berman’s experience of modernity and the emergence of a new American modernism. Modernity throughout this period was broken into two different compartments, hermetically sealed off from one another: "modernisation" in economics and politics, "modernism" in art, culture and sensibility. It’s through the lens of this dualism in which we recognise that both Berman and these artists try to make sense of the world around them by making their individual expressions that would re-conceptualise what it is to be modern in the twentieth century.

Location- Generally, due to severity of totalitarian regimes of Europe, modernist artists were forced to flee Europe in order to continue their art. This meant a shift from the art capitol of

In the early fifties, the United States witnessed the emergence of the hydrogen bomb and Miltown sedatives, a Cold War repression and consumerism began to shape the post-war society. In this unshaped world, the abstract expressionists materialized their desperate striving for spontaneity, freedom and the re-discovery of self and the human context. Their romantic, anti-capitalist hope, with all its weaknesses and contradictions, was telling them that the values embedded in their art could overcome the artistic concept and transform society. Behind this impulsive energy, there was the rigorous life choice, which required a total commitment. Pollock’s words perfectly described this tendency "Painting is my whole life." It is hard to imagine a greater contrast for the cowardly cynicism of the postmodern art world. American abstract expressionists didn’t want to conform to the ruling political and social ethos – Newman, Rothko and Adolph Gotlieb were convicted anarchists. Abstract expressionism, also known as the heroic abstraction, New York school, gestural painting and action painting was the last big attack of postmodernism on the ruling culture, the end of painting as the symbol of opposition and breakthrough.
