The Cold War is often thought of a war only between the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) and the United States of America‚ however that is not the case. There were proxy wars in countries like Vietnam‚ Korea and Pakistan.

How war dehumanizes people. During the war people were deprived of their everyday necessities and also their living conditions‚ They never got the luxury of sleeping in big warm clean beds or even clean clothes therefore changing the way they act and the way look at things such as murder. During the war you go through the trenches and fields watching people die‚ and even killing people themselves. Everyday people would not be able to just sit there and watch someone as they slowly die. The narrator

Did the Nationalists win the Spanish Civil War because of their strengths or the weaknesses of the Republicans? The evidence that supports the idea that the Nationalists won the Spanish Civil War because of their strength is abundant. The unity of the Nationalists was obvious and meant that there was both great organisation and co-ordination‚ meaning there was no ambiguity in the goals set by those fighting for the Nationalists.
