Falklands War: Government
built 141 days ago
The interesting point about these three works is that they all are against The Falklands War. That is a seemingly different response from the rest of the general public who supported the war. Their theatrical protests showed the soldiers whole-heartedly following commands made by the government. Many of these soldiers were blindly lead to their deaths. Though all the these playwrights, Steven Berkoff, Nick Perry, and Edward Bond, take different approaches in their opposition of the war, all show a viewpoint different from the general public. Ultimately, the point all of the playwrights made was that the war could have been prevented and lives could have been saved.

U.S. intelligence officials learned within months of the U.S. entry into World War II that Nazi Germany planned mass killings, scholars reviewing newly declassified reports said Thursday. But the U.S. government gave the information low priority in August 1942, the scholars concluded, not acknowledging that Germany had a plan to exterminate Jews until six months later.

Not for a moment did Lenin abandon opposition to the imperialist war. The Bolsheviks opposed the new offensive in 1917, when the Russian armies, under the direction of the Provisional government, renewed the war effort on behalf of the ruling class. But crude antiwar slogans and the call for civil war could not have won the support of a majority of workers.

A former Nazi SS commander was actively involved in wartime atrocities that included the massacre of civilians at the end of Second World War. Capt. Ladislav Niznansky faces a possible life in prison if convicted of 164 counts of murder in three massacres in early 1945 after a failed uprising against Slovakia's Nazi puppet government. The captives included members of the US Office of Strategic Services, on the run during a secret mission to Slovak partisans fighting the Nazi occupation, and AP correspondent Joseph Morton, who was the only war correspondent known to have been executed by any side during Second World War.
