This book was well written and described a lot of valuable information about the U.S. and it's connection to Europe and wars fought around the world. It covered several topics such as the Vietnam War, World War II, and several more. Obviously, the part I was looking into was the information on Stalin and the Cold War. This was an informational book and it gave tons of information focusing on communism and relting it to democracy and how they differ.
This is very reliable information that would help any highschool or even college student in need of information on Europe and the Cold War. It was one of the best sources I had because it gave me so much valuable information that taught me a lot about communism and the Cold War. This source is not biased just open and displaying information instead of giving their opinion on it.
This information taught me a lot about communism and the Berlin Wall is all about communism so I could fit it right in. It was very helpful, but the information on the other sites I found was a little bit more in depth yet simplified at the same time. This book seemed like it was a little harder for someone like me to read, but the information was still useful.
"Berlin Wall." Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia. 2008. Grolier Online. 4 Nov. 2008 http://gme.grolier.com/cgi-bin/article?assetid=00315.
This article displayed information only on the Berlin Wall about when it was put up, and each event until it was taken down. It gives useful information about the amount of people that lost their lives, all the key factors in putting it up, and people that had to do with the construction of the Berlin Wall. The information is very well written and easily understood so anybody could understand what the Berlin Wall was and how it affected the rest of the world.
This is a great source for if you are only researching information about the Berlin Wall. It only focuses on the Berlin Wall so if one is looking for information about communism and other things, then this wouldn't be the right sight for you. I liked this sight however because the Berlin Wall is my main topic and it helped me a lot while trying to understand what Berlin was about.
This information gave me a lot of information because it made me realize that East Berlin was cut off from the rest of the world for more that forty years. That is half a persons life so it really makes me understand how big of a deal the Berlin Wall was during the 20th century. This was a great site because it only focused on one thing instead of a wide variety.
Croan, Melvin. "communism." Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia. 2008. Grolier Online. 6 Nov. 2008 http://gme.grolier.com/cgi-bin/article?assetid=0068842.
This article gives the reader great insight into what communism is and how it affects the whole world and gives very detailed definitions on everything. The article is fairly advanced and difficult to read yet gives a ton of information about communism and all the countries that follow the political views of communism.
I thought this article was very useful for understanding communism and how it is different from American Democracy. It was a very long article and some parts were hard to comprehend making it a little bit tougher to integrate it into my topic. Yet I still found it very helpful teaching me the basics about communism and how it affects everything and everyone under it's rule. This article was not biased either, just objective to explain communism and it was a little harder than my other sources.
I could easily connect this information with my subject because communism was the essence of the Soviet Union and what they were trying to do by building the Berlin Wall. The information helped me a lot with understanding about what the government was and how different it is than America's.
"Warsaw Treaty Organization." Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia. 2008. Grolier Online. 16 Nov. 2008 http://gme.grolier.com/cgi-bin/article?assetid=0307099.
This article summarizes what the Warsaw treaty was. It explains how it was created in order to counter the N.A.T.O. treaty back in the 60's. It goes step by step explaining how the W.T.O. worked and what it meant. This article is fairly intricate because there is so much to go over because so many different countries signed this treaty which went against the rest of the world at the time.
This article was fairly helpful, it would have been helpful if I was studying the treaties that were signed during the Cold War, but since my topic was the Berlin Wall, the information wasn't crucial for my subject. The information was reliable since all of Grolier's information is straight out of books and read over. The article is not biased either and is just meant to tell about the Warsaw treaty.
This information does not apply directly to my subject, but it does suffice for gaining a little extra knowledge about the world in the 20th century. This article doesn't really make me feel that differently because it just shows even more how flawed peoples minds were when communism was trying to take over the world.
Hilderbrand, Robert C. "North Atlantic Treaty Organization." Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia. 2008. Grolier Online. 15 Nov. 2008 http://gme.grolier.com/cgi-bin/article?assetid=0210872.
This article was just like the one about the Warsaw Pact except this showed the other side, or the British side. This article just explains how Britain created a treaty so they could get the non-communist side of Europe to go against the Soviets. This article gives a good overview of the N.A.T.O. treaty and gives a detailed description of it. This is another article that is written fairly advanced but filled with great information and details on the treaty.
I thought this source was just as good as the one about the Warsaw treaty, it just explained the other side of it. It is fairly useful and just like the other one, but since it isn't directly related to my subject so it's not as useful as I would have liked it to be. It's also a pretty difficult article to read with intricate words and just informational and non-biased so it's not exactly entertaining to read. This source is just meant to inform the reader of what the N.A.T.O. treaty was and what it was meant to do.
This fits into my research just like the source on the Warsaw Treaty did; it just gives me more insight on how people acted in the past century and how people did things based on fear instead of what was right.
Lih, Lars T. "Union of Soviet Socialist Republics." Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia. 2008. Grolier Online. 4 Dec. 2008
This is a great article in understanding the U.S.S.R. and the writer writes it simply so anybody can understand what they're saying. It is a very long article yet everything is put simply even though the concept of the Soviet Union is a hard subject to understand and all of their tactics such as the Berlin Wall. It also includes all of the important leaders and important events within the 70 year rule of the Soviets.
I thought this was a great article and the most easy to read out of the six. It also a very useful article because the information relates directly to my topic because the whole reason the Cold War started was because of the U.S.S.R. The information is also very exact and reliable and there's tons of it. This is not a biased article because it just gives information describing everything you would want to know about the Soviet Union.
This source was very helpful to my ideas and subject because it really made me understand everything I wanted to know about the U.S.S.R. and their tactics in order to take land and convert it into communism. I could tie this whole article right into my topic because the U.S.S.R. is what built the Berlin Wall in the first place in order to seclude Berlin from the rest of the world. Altogether, I thought this was the best article because it was put simply and gave me so much information on my topic.
