Hitler pledged to restore prosperity, create civil order (by crushing industrial strikes and street demonstrations by communists and socialists), eliminate the influence of Jewish financiers, and make the fatherland once again a world power.
Answer:
To be found in ¨The Age of Extremes¨ by Eric Hobsbawm
Explanation:
Hobsbawm states that the Cold War was based on a Western belief, absurd in retrospect but natural enough in the aftermath of the Second World War, that the Age of Catastrophe was by no means at an end. J.F. Kennedy, one of the most overrated presidents according to Hobsbawm, shows this belief by saying: ´The enemy is the communist system itself... this is a struggle for supremacy between two conflicting ideologies: freedom under God versus ruthless, godless tyranny.´
It is exactly this democratic freedom that ironically fueled the Cold War fire.
Where the Sovjet government didn´t have to bother about winning votes the U.S. government did.
Another element that contributed to move confrontation from the realm of reason to that of emotion was the schizoid demand of the vote-sensitive politicians to roll back the tide of ¨communist aggression¨.
On the other side of the globe the Sovjet government, with a country and economy in ruins after the Second World War, they needed all the economic help they could get to survive. So on any rational assessment the U.S.S.R. presented no immediate danger.
Enlightenment principles called for freedom of thoughts,individualism, liberty, skepticism and reason,especially skepticism to traditional religious views.
The period after the ww1 broke out, saw an increased wave of revolutions,across the century, agitating for freedom and liberty, as well as the fall of collectivization or communism to the rise of capitalism, and increased secularization of society. enlightenment thoughts were therefore highly successful.
