1) In early 1939, Hitler was determined to invade Poland but first wanted to ensure the Soviet Union would not resist. On August 23, 1939, the Germans and Soviets signed a non-aggression pact agreeing to divide Poland between them.
2) Hitler ordered the invasion of Poland to begin on August 26, 1939. In response, Britain and France declared war on Germany on September 3, initiating World War II.
3) In September 1939, Germany had a more effective and efficient military than the Allies, particularly in the number and organization of its armored divisions and tanks, which proved decisive in its early victories.

The document discusses the origins of the Cold War through several key events and organizations:
1) The Tehran, Yalta, and Potsdam conferences divided Germany and Europe between the Western Allies and Soviet Union after World War 2.
2) Winston Churchill coined the term "Iron Curtain" to describe the growing divide between Western Europe and Eastern Europe under Soviet control.
3) NATO was formed in 1949 as a military alliance between Western countries to counter the military power of the USSR.
4) Germany was divided into the capitalist West Germany and communist East Germany, each aligned with their respective allies in the growing East-West conflict.
The cold war_begins_2-19
Bernard Baruch, a US presidential advisor, first used the term "Cold War" in 1947 to describe rising geopolitical tensions between the US and USSR following World War II. These tensions arose as the US and USSR transitioned from wartime allies to ideological opponents, with the US adopting a policy of communist containment in Europe and elsewhere. The onset of the Cold War was marked by events like the Truman Doctrine, Marshall Plan, formation of NATO, and the 1948 Berlin Blockade.
Origins of the cold war
The Tehran Conference was the first meeting between Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stalin during World War II where they discussed Germany's fate and the countries under German control after the war. The US later decided to form the NATO military alliance in 1949 as a joint western defense pact with the US providing most of the support.

Operation sunrise
Operation Sunrise was a covert operation led by the US Office of Strategic Services (OSS) and Swiss intelligence that resulted in the unconditional surrender of German forces in Northern Italy and Western Austria on May 2, 1945. Over 1 million German soldiers surrendered. Key figures in the negotiations were Allen Dulles of the OSS, Swiss intelligence officer Max Waibel, and SS general Karl Wolff, who represented German forces in Italy. The surrender discussions began in March 1945 in secret meetings in Switzerland between Dulles, Wolff, and other German representatives, with the goal of ending Nazi resistance and shortening the war in Europe. However, the negotiations were nearly scuttled by pressure from Joseph Stalin to delay the surrender so Soviet forces
Operation Barbarossa: History's Greatest Blunder

Operation Barbarossa
Operation Barbarossa was the code name for Nazi Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union during World War II. Launched in June 1941, it involved over 3 million German troops attacking along a massive front. The initial success was met with overconfidence, as Germany underestimated Soviet strength and resilience. Though they made early gains, the Germans were stopped at Moscow and suffered heavy losses due to Russian winter. Operation Barbarossa ultimately failed in its goal to defeat the Soviet Union, and marked a major turning point that weakened Germany's position in the war.

4) Advances in technology and changes in art, literature, and culture during and after the war.
Technology used in World War 2
Technology played a huge role in determining the outcome of World War II. Most inventions were developed during the interwar years, improving on ideas from World War I. Ships from World War I like U-boats and aircraft carriers were modified due to time constraints, and innovations included adding a snorkel to U-boats, building the largest aircraft carrier ever in the Japanese Shinano, and creating the Deutschland class cruiser to avoid restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles. New weapons also emerged like jet and rocket powered aircraft, cluster bombs, advanced radio, and the Manhattan Project that developed the first nuclear bombs.
World war two
1) When Hitler became Chancellor of Germany in January 1933, he consolidated power by outlawing opposition parties, establishing a secret police force, and tightly controlling the media.
2) Hitler blamed the Jews for Germany's economic struggles following World War 1 and the Treaty of Versailles, enacting laws to force Jews out of German society.
3) Through propaganda campaigns and tightly controlling information, Hitler gained widespread popular support for his nationalist agenda and remilitarization of Germany in violation of the Treaty.

Bizony originsof coldwar
The Tehrān Conference in 1943 saw the leaders of the USSR, USA and Britain - Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill - meet in Tehrān, Iran to coordinate efforts in World War 2. This included launching the Normandy invasion and gaining Turkey as an ally. The Yalta Conference in 1945 involved the same countries deciding how to divide postwar Germany. At Potsdam in 1945, the new American president Truman joined Stalin and Churchill, now replaced by Attlee, but tensions grew over Soviet control in Germany and Poland. This led to an ideological division between communist and capitalist states, known as the Cold War, with the US and USSR competing for influence and "spheres of influence" through policies like the Truman Doct

The Cold War was a period of geopolitical tension between Western capitalism led by the United States and Eastern communism led by the Soviet Union. There was no direct military conflict, but instead tensions manifested through threats, espionage, propaganda, and competitive arms buildups. Several conferences were held during and after World War II between Western allies and the Soviet Union to discuss postwar reorganization and establishment of international organizations like the United Nations. However, the Iron Curtain divided Europe, with Western nations forming NATO in response to the Soviet-led Warsaw Pact alliance. Germany was divided into capitalist West Germany and communist East Germany, separated by the Berlin Wall.

The U.S.-led coalition included forces from 34 countries which launched a massive air and ground assault driving Iraqi forces out of Kuwait and imposing a ceasefire. The war had both immediate impacts like destabilizing Iraq's economy and long term effects such as major environmental damage and health issues for veterans.
Food security
Rapid population growth and lack of space in Langa is resulting in less land available for vegetable gardens and food production. This could lead to food insecurity issues if not addressed. The Honeycomb Project proposes using sustainable "units" that combine aquaponics and greenhouse food production to grow fish and vegetables in a self-contained system. Each unit could feed 3-5 families and be financially self-sustaining within 3 years by allowing families to save money on food costs. The units would use the land more efficiently to address the lack of space issue while continuing to provide local food production opportunities.
