What were the main goals of the occupation forces after ww2?

History

inessss [21]3 years ago

After the second world war, the occupation of the German and Austrian regions was managed by 4 major powers: France, the United Kingdom, the United States of America, and the Soviet Union. The goals of these powers was twofold.

The first was the purging of National Socialist elements from Germany. After the war, thousands of Nazis escaped capture by the allies, with many returning to their lives as civilians. The occupying forces were attempting to ensure that these individuals would not exert major influence, and that Nazism would not rise again in post-war Germany. Here's an interesting orientation video produced by the US army during the post-war occupation period:

The second of these goals was the establishment of two new German states. The Soviet Union laid the ground work for what would become the communist German Democratic Republic in the late 1940s in the eastern half of Germany, while the allies established a market-liberal counterpart (the Federal Republic of Germany) in the west.

What ways might european empire building in the americas be understood as a single phenomenon?
zheka24 [161]

Discovery of America is called the historical event of October 12, 1492, consisting of the arrival in America of an expedition led by Christopher Columbus by order of the Catholic Monarchs, Isabella of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon. Columbus had left the Port of Palos two months and nine days before and, after crossing the Atlantic Ocean, he arrived at an island in the American continent, Guanahani, believing that he had arrived in India. This fact is one of the fundamental moments of universal history and represents the meeting of two worlds that had evolved independently from the settlement of America.

This event marked a before and after in universal history, this event marked European and American history in the same way.

The Spaniards first and then the Portuguese and French English, were given the task of discovering what the new world had. In the process of colonization a cultural clash could be seen between the aborigines and the Europeans. From this relationship, the Europeans were the most benefited, since they expanded their language, their culture and in some cases imposed their religion. In this way they created an empire to suit them.

What were the expectations of English colonists in America
MatroZZZ [7]
English colonists in America who most likely took the side of the British, or Loyalists expected that everybody followed the rules made by King George and the Parliment of England and the colonists were to abide by their policies.
If we had done that, then there'd be no revolutionary war, and no freedom.
Hopefully this helps!
