Thinking about the Wannsee Conference meeting - a meeting held in a conference room at a house formerly owned by a Jewish family - that lasted less than 90 minutes with a collection of very high ranking
Nazi officials gathered to reach an agreement on how to resolve the Jewish Question, what about the
meeting, the setting, how business was conducted, the personalities, etc.., made an impression on you?
Consider: Did what you saw and heard match up well with your idea of how a group of highly educated and highly
trained individuals would go about deciding how to murder millions of Innocent people?

relations between the soviet union and the united states were driven by a complex interplay of ideological, political, and economic factors, which led to shifts between cautious cooperation and often bitter superpower rivalry over the years. the distinct differences in the political systems of the two countries often prevented them from reaching a mutual understanding on key policy issues and even, as in the case of the cuban missile crisis, brought them to the brink of war.

the united states government was initially hostile to the soviet leaders for taking russia out of world war i and was opposed to a state ideologically based on communism. although the united states embarked on a famine relief program in the soviet union in the early 1920s and american businessmen established commercial ties there during the period of the new economic policy (1921–29), the two countries did not establish diplomatic relations until 1933. by that time, the totalitarian nature of joseph stalin's regime presented an insurmountable obstacle to friendly relations with the west. although world war ii brought the two countries into alliance, based on the common aim of defeating nazi germany, the soviet union's aggressive, antidemocratic policy toward eastern europe had created tensions even before the war ended.
