Axis Countries After Ww2 Analysis

Throughout history, people have helped each other to protect themselves from the evil that throughout the world. Like in World War II, countries banded together to rid the world in want they felt was wrong. The Axis countries banded together because they felt that the superpower countries were holding them down. On the other hand, the Allies countries band together because they seen the injustice that the Axis countries were inflicting on the world. Now there are always countries in any disagreement that remains neutral not seeing the benefits of supporting either side.

After the members successfully influenced the Burmese’s opinion on The Communist Party, the members faced one last challenge. The Russians sent, Vinich, their best man to Burma to squash this movement and regain the power they once had in the region. He was an “expert on Burma . . . a veteran of purges, conspiracies, plots, and counterplots” (p. 61). The Russians were going to try to control the Burmese using psychological effects. His plan would have succeeded if it were not for one of Finian’s members being able to spy and tape-recorded the conversation between Vinich and the local Communists. The Communist Farmer for three weeks advertised that on the radio there would be a special broadcast, which was the tape-recorded conversion.

Homer understood he must not begin a program that was beyond the Sarkhanese technological and economical capabilities. Homer’s ability to utilize this imperative to perfection led to the Sarkhanese people being able to manufacture their own pumps without any foreign suppliers. I wish we utilized this imperative in Iraq as well as Homer
