Well, today we are going to study two epigraphs. This first epigraph, that is the Jews and the Holocaust, as you can see in the title.
00:00:00
And then we will see the consequences of the Second World War.
00:00:07
Okay, so what we are going to study is this first slide related with this problem, this situation.
00:00:10
I mean, the Holocaust, the action of the Nazis trying to end with the Jews regarding to that international conspiracy.
00:00:16
remember that that the nazis were thinking that the communists and the jews were has plot
00:00:25
has set a conspiracy against germany internationally so they need to end with
00:00:32
the jews and remember also that they the nazis has um a racial or uh he wants i mean they have
00:00:39
a racial conception of nationalism so it means that they want they they have this racist idea
00:00:49
So they want to end to eliminate all these enemies of Germany. Okay, and
00:00:55
One of the enemies of course are
00:01:00
The Jews, okay
00:01:03
So let's let's begin
00:01:04
So the idea the key idea is what I have said no racism authoritarianism and xenophobia of Nazi ideology
00:01:06
Let them to commit terrible crimes against those they consider inferior like disabled people slavs
00:01:12
Romani communists or Jews it means so this idea of
00:01:19
this nationalism based on racism is going to make them try to eliminate this
00:01:23
inferior races okay so they are going to consider people that they are disabled
00:01:31
or slavs it means Slavos so people living in Eastern Europe Romani that
00:01:37
means gitanos okay so they are going to be considered also an inferior race
00:01:43
communists of course and Jews too so what they are going to do is try to
00:01:48
eliminate them all so the idea is if they want to preserve the Aryan race if
00:01:53
they want to preserve this race that is the German race that is superior what
00:01:58
they need is to avoid any contact between these people these inferior
00:02:03
races with the German race it means a communist cannot get married with a
00:02:09
German because he's going to eliminate the purity of the race as you cannot
00:02:14
get married with a German too because he's going to eliminate the purity of
00:02:22
the race and so on with the others okay so the idea is they need to eliminate
00:02:26
them they need in the beginning what they are going to do is to prevent these
00:02:30
people to get in touch with the Germans after that the next step is going to be
00:02:35
to eliminate them to kill them okay so let's see there are like two main phases
00:02:41
in this process. The first phase goes from 1933, when Hitler is going to reach
00:02:47
power, until 1939, when the... 1939-1942, okay? When the Second World War is going to
00:02:52
begin, okay? So the idea is, before the war what we have is laws or measures
00:03:00
that they are going to be addressed in order to avoid these
00:03:08
people to get in touch with the German pure race, it means with the German
00:03:12
society because this German society is based on an Aryan race and if they want
00:03:19
to preserve this race these people cannot get in touch with them, okay?
00:03:24
The next step, the second phase is during the Second World War when they are going
00:03:30
to say okay we need to eliminate them all, okay? We cannot, the measures that we
00:03:33
have made or we have taken in order to avoid this this contact between there
00:03:38
between the German society and these people the disabled slavs romani
00:03:44
communists or Jews have failed we cannot prevent all these people to be not to be
00:03:48
in touch with the Germans okay the idea is when they expand to Eastern Europe
00:03:55
the amount of disabled slavs romani communists or you people or use people
00:04:01
is going to increase that much that they cannot prevent this the Germans to get
00:04:07
in touch with them okay so the idea is before the war there are not that much
00:04:14
people this kind of people in the territories controlled by the Nazi
00:04:18
regime as as soon as they expand to Eastern Europe they are going to find
00:04:24
Jews communists Roman is last disabled people that in a huge amount so the idea
00:04:29
is that they are too many so they are too many in order to use the same
00:04:36
measures in order to prevent these Germans to get in touch with these
00:04:41
people in Eastern Europe so the idea is the only way to prevent this contact
00:04:48
between these two societies is to kill them all to eliminate them okay so let's
00:04:55
see how they are going to do how this process is going to is going to take
00:05:02
place so the first thing is the first measure is to persecute and arrest them
00:05:06
okay so the idea is they need to identify them okay so the idea is that
00:05:10
Jews are going to be persecuted and they are going to be forced to wear this
00:05:17
badge on their clothes it means you see this woman is Jewish, this man is Jewish
00:05:21
to this these children to etc so the idea is we are going to identify these
00:05:27
people that we do not want them to get in touch or to get in contact with with
00:05:34
the Germans so the idea is inside the German society we have pure racial
00:05:42
Germans that they are the Aryan race that's the Nazi way of thinking and in
00:05:48
the other way what we have is these other people that they are not Aryan and
00:05:53
they are the enemies of Germany so the first measure they are going to take is
00:05:58
okay let's identify these enemies of the German society first thing is to
00:06:02
persecute them and make them force them to wear this badge in order to in order
00:06:08
to make sure that they are identified and they are not going to get in contact
00:06:15
with the Germans, because if I'm German and I'm part of the Aryan race, I know that I shouldn't
00:06:20
be in contact with them, as soon as I see the budget, I'm going to say, okay, I cannot get in
00:06:26
contact with them, because they are Jews, they are Jewish, okay, again, another example, we have seen
00:06:31
this photograph before, so remember the budget, this is the David Star, okay, again the same,
00:06:39
They were forced to wear the budget, so they need to wear it, okay?
00:06:46
They were forced to do it in order to identify this population as not part of the German society,
00:06:51
even when they are inside Germany, in order to identify these enemies of the German society and the Aryan race.
00:06:59
the second step is they are going to start transporting part of this population to
00:07:10
concentration camps okay in order to do forced labor so the idea is they are going to start
00:07:16
persecuting them they are going to start identifying them but they are going to start
00:07:22
sending some to the concentration camps okay some of the jews that they are going to have
00:07:26
against the nazi regime imagine i don't know a journalist that is going to be writing against
00:07:31
Hitler or against the Nazi regime. They are going to be sent to these concentration camps. Okay, they are going to be
00:07:37
Carried they are going to force them get into these wagons. Okay, these trains these wagons these wagons that they are for animals
00:07:45
They are wagons for animals, but they are going to carry all these people as you can understand
00:07:54
These wagons are not going to have a space enough for all these people
00:07:58
so these people is going to be inside these wagons they are going to be they
00:08:02
are going to stick together they are going to be really close each other they
00:08:08
are going to they are going to the toilet they are going to go to the
00:08:11
toilet inside where there is no toilet so the conditions they were human they
00:08:14
are were against the human rights so they are going to be mistreated okay so
00:08:20
they cannot escape as you can see they cannot escape they are going to be
00:08:26
treated as animals and they are going to be forced to to work to labor to to
00:08:30
forced labor in this concentration camps also another measure okay so the first
00:08:37
measure is to persecute them and make them wear badges at the same time they
00:08:42
are going to start transporting some of them to the concentration camps and also
00:08:47
they are going to the next step is to separate the the people inside the
00:08:51
society it means from 1940 it means a First World War onwards the Jews in
00:08:57
Poland and other countries were moved to ghettos a ghetto is like a neighborhood
00:09:06
inside the inside a city that is going to be surrounded by walls and in this
00:09:11
place you are going to keep these people apart from the rest of the society so
00:09:17
the idea is they are going to persecute them they are going to make them work
00:09:23
budgets in order to identify them they are going to be sent to the
00:09:26
concentration camps and now from 1940 onwards what they are going to do is to
00:09:30
separate the society they are going to split up the society in the free world
00:09:35
in the free in the in the vast majority of the city what we are going to find is
00:09:40
the German people and in these ghettos what we are going to find is the Jews
00:09:45
okay so this is the idea this is a neighborhood there is a fence separating
00:09:51
the ghetto from the rest of the city so that's the idea the Jews are going to
00:09:57
live in the ghetto they cannot leave the ghetto they are going to work in the
00:10:02
ghetto okay and the rest of the people is going to live here so that's the idea
00:10:06
okay so this is the best way in order to separate the populations to separate the
00:10:11
Jews from the rest of the German people separate the Jews from the Aryan race in
00:10:17
order to keep and preserve the purity of the Aryan race so as you can see are you
00:10:25
as you can see first they are going to identify them in order to prevent any
00:10:31
contact with the with a German society they are going to be sent to the
00:10:37
concentration camps some of them not everyone and from 1940 onwards what they
00:10:41
are going to have is these ghettos where they are going to be a they are going to
00:10:47
be imprisoned the idea is they are not going to be free they cannot leave the
00:10:52
ghetto they are going to live in this part of the city that is going to be
00:10:55
divided by fences or walls finally the last step and this is what is called
00:10:59
holocaust in 1942 the nazi leaders planned the final solution the solution final that means the
00:11:06
elimination of all jews it means they need to eliminate them we are not going to separate them
00:11:13
we are not going to identify them what we are going to do is to kill them okay this is the
00:11:19
next step is like a another step in order in this process to prevent the jews to get in touch or in
00:11:24
contact with the rest of the german society so they are going to create they are going to make
00:11:34
them first world badges then send them to the concentration camps they are going to move them
00:11:40
into ghettos from 1940 onwards and finally they are going to execute them all so what you see here
00:11:47
this is germany remember the the germany after obtaining alsace and lorraine part of gelgium
00:11:54
obtaining Austria, Bohemia, Moravia, that is nowadays Czech Republic, and part of
00:12:01
Poland, okay? So the idea is what they are going to do, they are going to create all
00:12:08
these concentration camps, as you can see these are the red dots, are the
00:12:14
concentration camps, and these other, these bigger red dots, are the
00:12:18
extermination camp. If you check, most of them, the vast majority of them, are going
00:12:23
to be in Poland it means as soon as they expand during the Second World War they
00:12:28
started to create these specific camps why because they cannot create more
00:12:34
ghettos they cannot just make them make the use to work budgets in order to
00:12:40
separate them from the rest of the German population what they need to do
00:12:47
is to eliminate them all okay so the idea is we cannot prevent them to we
00:12:52
cannot prevent them to the contact so the best way in order to do that is to
00:13:00
kill them okay so that's what they are going to do they are going to create
00:13:08
this extermination comes where they are going to send the juice and they are
00:13:13
going to be killed straight away they are going to use the gas the gas
00:13:16
chambers in order to kill them and they are going to burn them out, the bodies
00:13:21
and that's it so in these concentration camps what you're going to find is
00:13:26
people that they are going to live very bad they are going to they are going to
00:13:30
suffer a lot they are going to be doing hard hard work but in this case what
00:13:34
they are going to send this they are going to send people and people to kill
00:13:39
them all so they are not going to work they are going to be send there in
00:13:43
order to be killed and in order to be to be executed and then burn out the corpse
00:13:47
okay so they were systematic tortured of course during the journey you see the
00:13:53
wagons they they were they were they were transport in that they were small
00:14:00
they are going to die most of them they are going to die many of them are going
00:14:07
to die in the journey they are going to be hardly dressed because they are going
00:14:11
give them like a pyjama or something like that okay this is the the images
00:14:16
okay as you can see there is not that much space they are not going to be well
00:14:22
fit they are going to be there is going to be young people or there is going to
00:14:26
be other people okay you can see it here the woman in one place the men in the
00:14:31
other this is from concentration camps because in the extermination camps they
00:14:36
going to be sent to die okay so remember these are the type of clothes they are going to wear
00:14:41
okay and they are going to be forced they are going to be forced to to do hard working or they
00:14:48
are going to be executed this is mathausen this is a concentration camp as you can see it's really
00:14:55
big these are the different houses or barracks where the the prisoners are going to live okay
00:15:02
and they are going to be forced labor here okay that's why it's a concentration camp
00:15:10
they were tortured and subjected to medical experiments that is true they some of the
00:15:17
doctors let's say doctors but it's not the right the right word that would be well they are not
00:15:24
doctors exactly but they have a medical knowledge so the idea is they are going to carry out medical
00:15:32
experiments for example if you have someone with brown eyes and the color of their eyes is brown
00:15:38
let's see if i can introduce some ink blue ink inside the the eyeball and i'm going to make him
00:15:46
has the the iris in blue eye of course what you are going to do is to blind his eye you are going
00:15:54
to prevent him to see okay you are not going to change the color of the eye but remember what
00:16:00
they are doing this is just one type of experiment there are a lot a lot of different ones they are
00:16:06
going to be really hard i do not want to explain them because they are disgusting but the idea is
00:16:11
they are mistreating these people because they feel that they are an inferior race so they are
00:16:17
not going to believe that they are human beings so what they are going to do is just to torture
00:16:23
them kill them or use them for medical experiments and finally they are going to execute them
00:16:30
let's check this okay this is the jewish population in 1938 in these countries please
00:16:38
look at poland this is the victims the people that executed in poland almost the whole
00:16:44
jewish population of poland was executed three million people it's like taking almost the whole
00:16:51
population of the city of madrid and execute them all okay so three million people if you check in
00:16:59
the soviet union they are not going to conquer the whole soviet union but in the territories
00:17:08
they are going to conquer one million people romania more than half czechoslovakia almost
00:17:12
everyone yugoslavia and greece halt if you check in western europe italy is going to almost kill
00:17:21
them all, the Netherlands more than half, Germany and Austria more than half.
00:17:29
Okay, so this is the reality, they had this plan, they had the ways to execute these people
00:17:38
and they started to do it. So that is called the final solution, that means to execute the Jews,
00:17:48
to execute, not only Jews, also communists, romanians, slavs, etc. to execute them in order
00:17:58
to preserve the purity of the race, that's the idea, not other thing, to preserve the purity
00:18:04
of the race. So now what we are going to see is the next point that is the consequences of the
00:18:11
war, we are going to see these consequences, we will try to do it fast, okay? So let's see the
00:18:19
basic consequences of this war the first thing is the human and economic losses of course
00:18:27
you know that there are going to be more or less 50 60 million people die okay so these are the
00:18:32
data if you can check the soviet union is one of the countries with more people dead okay more than
00:18:38
seven million civilians, more than 13 million militaries and if you check
00:18:46
Germany is going to be the next and finally Japan but let's see one
00:18:56
specific case Poland most of their population the civilian population are
00:19:00
going to be executed more than 5 million people you know which type of people was
00:19:06
executed the Jews okay they conquered Poland and they are going to execute
00:19:12
more than 5 million people civilians not military civilians most of them Jews the
00:19:18
average is the 15% of the population okay so let's check 50 60 50 60 million
00:19:28
people died okay we are going to see that the Soviet Union is going to suffer
00:19:38
a lot Poland Germany and Japan are the four main countries but let's check this
00:19:41
graph please if you check is true the Soviet Union is going to have a lot of
00:19:46
casualties almost 24 million if you check Germany too if you check Japan too
00:19:53
if we compare it with the other countries even France has less than
00:19:58
Japan or or Germany or if we go to the UK okay that most of them are going to
00:20:03
be military. But I want to point out something here. China. China is going to suffer the
00:20:09
Japanese occupation, and most of its population is going to be civilians. Millions of millions
00:20:19
of people executed by the Japanese. Please, keep this in mind. When we are talking about
00:20:28
the second world war not only germany is going to carry out a holocaust or a massacre the japanese
00:20:36
in china are going to carry out also a huge massacre of civilians okay if you check a lot
00:20:46
of civilians millions and millions of civilians please it's really important to keep this in mind
00:20:53
these are the civilians these are the military so most of them okay please most of them are going to
00:21:01
be civilians millions of millions more than 12 more than 14 million people dead only and they
00:21:08
are only civilians okay it's really important so the idea is in china they are going to suffer a
00:21:16
lot they are going to suffer this specific holocaust holocaust is a world related with
00:21:24
the jews in this case they are not executing jews they are executing the chinese why they are
00:21:29
executing the civilians the chinese civilians because the japanese as well as the germans
00:21:35
feel that they are a superior race so the chinese are an inferior race so they are they have the
00:21:41
right to kill them all if they want to okay so they are going to start executing people
00:21:48
in many different ways, okay? And there are going to be a lot of casualties. I'm not going to explain
00:21:54
the different atrocities they are going to carry out there, but a lot. Believe me, a lot, okay?
00:22:01
So in China, China is going to be the second country with more casualties during the
00:22:07
Second World War after the Soviet Union. So more than 15% were civilians, while in the First World
00:22:13
War only 5% were civilians. So there is a huge change between the First World War and the Second
00:22:20
world war in the first world war five percent were civilians in the in the second world war
00:22:25
50 more than 50 percent so the population the civilian population is going to suffer more than
00:22:29
the military during this second world war if we compare it with the first world war or any other
00:22:36
type of war in history so also there are going to be population displacements it means exodus okay
00:22:41
the population is going to run away or they are going to be forced to move from one place to
00:22:48
another okay the nazis are going to start conquering territory so the population is
00:22:52
going to run away from these territories okay also the the germans are going to force people
00:22:57
to move from one place to the other if you take the the jews in poland and you send them to a
00:23:06
concentration camp in germany you are making they you are forcing them to move to a different place
00:23:13
So those are population displacements, desplazamientos de población, it means 30 million displaced Europeans, 30 million people, it's like moving almost the whole population nowadays in Spain, out of Spain, imagine the Iberian Peninsula empty, no people in the Iberian Peninsula because they have been moved to a different place, ok?
00:23:19
remember they are going to expand the Germans to the Western Europe Northern Europe and Eastern
00:23:44
Europe so they are going to make population to move or they are going to or they are going to
00:23:53
scare the population and they are going to run away also here in Japan okay in Asia is going
00:24:00
to be the same okay the population is going to be if deported is going to is going to be forced to
00:24:07
move to a different place or this population is going to is going to run
00:24:14
away from the advance of the Japanese or German and Italian troops so during the
00:24:20
conflict we are going to see these deportations okay and during the post
00:24:28
war period remember these prisoners these people that they have been
00:24:32
deported are going to come back to their countries so the idea is after the Second
00:24:37
World War they are going to return to their countries okay they are going to
00:24:42
return to their countries if they have survived they are going to return to
00:24:47
their countries so that's the idea this is the idea of the human human losses we
00:24:52
are going to talk now about the economic consequences what is going to happen
00:25:01
related in the economic field everything has it has been destroyed okay so
00:25:04
extensive destruction of property bombs and airplanes they are going to bomb the
00:25:10
cities the means of transport the industrial facilities they are burning crops on woodland
00:25:15
okay so trees and forests are going to be vanished they are going to end with the crops in order to
00:25:22
prevent the new troops conquering the territories to use them they are going to destroy industrial
00:25:28
facilities remember how the the Royal the British Royal Aircraft was bombing the industrial
00:25:33
facilities in Germany because what they want is to attack to the German economy
00:25:42
and they are going to own the cities because they want the population to
00:25:48
force the country to surrender so they want to scare the population bombing the
00:25:52
cities and they are going to force them to they are going to force them they
00:25:58
They they want to to persuade them in this way persuade. It's a a light word
00:26:06
They want to to make them
00:26:12
Be against the government and force the country to surrender
00:26:16
So cities completely destroyed due to the bombing so they need to reconstruct them rebuild them
00:26:19
Okay, if you check this video you are going to see some original
00:26:26
It's an original video
00:26:31
related to
00:26:32
the uk to london you can see check london how was london after the war after yes after the war
00:26:34
so you'll see the the destroy buildings etc and remember the industrial facilities were bombed by
00:26:42
the planes what else there are going to be countries that they are not going to suffer
00:26:50
these lost so what they are going to do is to become in suppliers and of anything they need
00:26:56
of the europeans needs and they are going to experience an economic growth imagine canada
00:27:03
canada has no suffer economic losses okay no bombing on their countries so they in this is
00:27:08
the industrial facilities are perfect so they are going to produce anything the europeans need
00:27:15
but they are not going to give these products for free they are going to make the europeans to pay
00:27:20
for the products okay that makes sense so the idea is they are going to become suppliers of the
00:27:25
European countries that they are destroyed after the war and they are going to experience this economic growth
00:27:31
Okay, so Canada, Australia, Sweden, etc
00:27:36
These countries that they do not participate in the war as battlefields and
00:27:40
That they keep their economies healthy
00:27:45
So they are going to use their economy in order to be the suppliers of the European countries
00:27:48
And they are going to experience this economic growth
00:27:53
and the final consequence of course is
00:27:57
is that Europe is going to be ruined after the Second World War Europe is has
00:27:59
been destroyed not only economically but also military and demographically so
00:28:09
Europe was ruined and there are going to be two main powers in the world after
00:28:16
that the the USA the United States and the Soviet Union okay so this is going
00:28:20
to be the map of the world after the second world war after the second world war what we have is the
00:28:28
cold war okay we are going to have two main countries okay the USA and the Soviet Union
00:28:33
they are going to fight each other and they are going to try to spread their ideologies and
00:28:42
economic system to the other countries if you check Europe is going to be divided into halves
00:28:48
the Eastern Europe and the Western Europe the Western Europe is going to be
00:28:55
in favor of the US the Eastern Europe is going to be in favor of the Soviet Union
00:29:00
China in Asia there are going to be some count several countries in favor of the
00:29:05
Soviet Union others in favor of the USA in Latin America most of them are going
00:29:09
to be capitalist and in Africa Africa you'll see the differences right there
00:29:15
are going to be more half-and-half so this is the Cold War the Cold War is
00:29:20
going to be a conflict that is going to last from 1945 till 1991 okay it's
00:29:24
almost the the second half of the of the 20th century and this Cold War is based
00:29:32
on the the fight between the US and their allies and the Soviet Union and
00:29:40
their allies okay so after the Second World War Europe is not going to be the
00:29:48
most important country the European countries are going to be are going to
00:29:54
be weaker in comparison with the US and the Soviet Union that they are going to
00:29:58
be the strong superpowers so now what we need to talk about is the moral impact
00:30:03
what you need to understand this most most of the almost or more than 5
00:30:10
million people has been executed in Poland and other countries they have
00:30:16
suffered also this repression so the Holocaust is going to have a moral
00:30:21
impact on the European countries as you can see the human rights were
00:30:26
systematically violated okay we are talking about concentration camps okay
00:30:32
we are talking about almost dying dead people okay hundreds hundreds and
00:30:39
hundreds of people executed that as you can see in the course they are really
00:30:48
skinny they are they suffer famine okay and they started executing this
00:30:55
population it's a mass execution is the Holocaust so not only adults also
00:31:03
children they are going to be executed so we are talking about the human rights
00:31:11
being systematically violated okay so this is going to have a moral impact is
00:31:16
going to be a moral trauma for the Western civilization because because
00:31:21
they are going to start questioning about their barbarism it means how if
00:31:28
they were the most developed countries, how they had the most
00:31:32
sophisticated culture, they ended killing all these people, okay? So that's the idea
00:31:36
how the European civilization could do this, could have done this, okay? So this
00:31:42
is going to create a moral trauma, a moral impact on the population. And
00:31:49
finally we need to talk about this, okay? We need to talk about these conferences
00:31:55
The thing is, the world after the Second World War was organized in three main conferences
00:32:00
during the war, okay?
00:32:08
So the idea is, as the world was evolving, the different allies, mainly the UK, the USA,
00:32:11
and the Soviet Union, are going to gather into three different conferences in order
00:32:22
to establish or to set or to build the world after the peace, ok?
00:32:28
So the idea is there are going to be three conferences where the US, the Soviet Union
00:32:34
and the UK are going to gather in order to organize the world after the Second World
00:32:40
War.
00:32:46
So the first of these conferences is going to be the conference of Tehran in Iran, ok?
00:32:48
Iran so in turn what we are going to find is this conference in November 1943
00:32:57
if you check November 1943 we have finished with the Stalingrad battle okay
00:33:03
they are conquering Italy they haven't a carry out the Normandy the Normandy
00:33:09
landings that is going to happen in June 1944 so there are seven months in front
00:33:18
of that, okay, ahead, so the idea is the Trump conference, what is going to decide, or what
00:33:27
the three main powers, the UK, the USA, and the Soviet Union are going to decide in this
00:33:34
conference, so what they are going to have is Churchill, that is the president of the
00:33:40
UK, Roosevelt, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, you know him, related with the New Deal, etc.,
00:33:45
he is going to be the president of the US, and finally Stalin, that is going to be the
00:33:51
dictatorship of the soviet union okay so what they are going to do is to take military measures to
00:33:56
speed up the end of the war it means they are going to decide the next movement the next
00:34:03
military movements in order to end with the war as soon as possible one of these decisions is the
00:34:09
normandy landings okay so that's the idea they are going to decide the new or the next military
00:34:15
movements in order to speed up it means to end quickly with the war okay one of
00:34:24
these decisions is the the Normandy landings but here is Churchill here is
00:34:29
Roosevelt and here is Stalin okay so the dictatorship of the Soviet Union the
00:34:36
president of the US and the president of the UK the second one is the JALTA
00:34:44
conference and it's going to be in february 1945 as you see it is close the the war is close
00:34:51
uh the war is really close to end in europe because it ended in february in may sorry so
00:34:57
like three months uh three four months uh to end with the war so in this delta conference they are
00:35:05
going to agree with this the nazification what is that it means to end with the nazi party it means
00:35:14
to persecute all the Nazi party members and also to prohibit or to persecute this way
00:35:21
of thinking, this ideology.
00:35:33
So they are going to start changing, for example, the name of the streets, Adolf Hitler Street
00:35:37
is going to be substituted by Roosevelt Boulevard, makes sense, right?
00:35:42
If you remember here in Spain we have done something similar in the last decade in order
00:35:47
to change the name of the people from the dictatorship in order to establish new names.
00:35:54
In this case Roosevelt Boulevard substituting Adolf Hitler Street.
00:36:03
So they are going to agree to divide Germany and Austria into four occupied zones.
00:36:10
It means they do not trust Germany, they want to control Germany.
00:36:16
Remember the Versailles Treaty after the First World War.
00:36:21
They established the demilitarization of Greenland.
00:36:26
They established that there is a limitation on the number of soldiers in the German army, etc.
00:36:28
And everything failed.
00:36:36
So what they are going to do now is to divide Germany and these parts of Germany and Austria
00:36:38
are going to be under control of the of the countries that they have won the war
00:36:44
if you check this part of Germany is going to be under control of Russia as
00:36:48
well as this part of Austria this part is going to be controlled by the UK okay
00:36:55
as well as this part in Austria France is going to control this part as well as
00:37:06
this part and finally the USA is going to control this part as well as it's controlling this part
00:37:13
sorry I made a mistake this is the UK part and this is the US part so the idea is they are going
00:37:21
to divide Germany in four main pieces okay after some years what they are going to do is to the
00:37:26
they are going to unify Germany but only these three parts the the British part the French part
00:37:34
and the American side and there are going to appear two Germanys this is going to be
00:37:39
the capitalist Germany and this is going to be the communist Germany so the idea is they are going to
00:37:44
divide Germany and Austria for different pieces to divide to control these countries to set these
00:37:52
countries under control of the British the French the Germans and the Russians and of course they
00:37:59
are going to agree that in these countries that they have been liberated after the second world
00:38:07
war it means those countries that they were under the nazi control or the italian control etc they
00:38:12
must have free elections and they are going to decide to create this the united nations
00:38:19
an organization in order to keep peace in the world if you remember after the first world war
00:38:27
they created the League of Nations okay this League of Nations in order to
00:38:35
preserve the international order in order to avoid war and use diplomatic
00:38:40
measures okay in order to end with this with any problem in the world so the
00:38:49
idea is in this Yalta conference in February 1845 these three countries are
00:38:57
going to agree to create to establish democratic systems in the countries
00:39:03
liberated to divide Germany and Austria to end with the Nazism and also okay to
00:39:07
create these United Nations to prevent war in the world to foster peace in the
00:39:14
world to foster the use of diplomacy and dialogue instead of instead of instead
00:39:20
of war or any type of fight.
00:39:31
And finally, the last conference is the Potsdam Conference and it's in August 1945.
00:39:38
Remember, the Second World War ended in the Pacific in September.
00:39:44
So August is the moment when Truman, the new president of the US, is going to drop the
00:39:50
atomic bombs in Japan.
00:39:56
So in this case the new conference is not going to have Roosevelt, because Roosevelt
00:40:00
has died, and Attlee is substituting Churchill, because Churchill lost the elections and Attlee
00:40:05
was elected.
00:40:17
Churchill is from the Conservative party and Attlee is from the Labour party.
00:40:19
So the idea is that Attlee is left wing and Charles Hill is right wing.
00:40:30
So in this case, these three new presidents, the president of the UK, Attlee, the president
00:40:35
of the US, Harry Truman, and the dictator of the Soviet Union that is going to be Stalin.
00:40:45
If you check here what we have is Molotov, remember Molotov was the Foreign Affairs Ministry
00:40:53
of Stalin and he signed the treaty, the Nazi-Soviet Pact in 1939, so here it is, Molotov again
00:41:01
in this conference.
00:41:11
So what they are going to decide here is that they need to return all the territories, the
00:41:14
the European territory, it means all the territories that it has been conquered during the Second
00:41:18
World War must be given back to their population, it means Poland is going to be created again,
00:41:23
Germany is going to be divided but they want to unify it, Alsace and Lorraine is going
00:41:34
to be for France again, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Austria, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, etc.
00:41:39
So the idea is that the Soviet Union is going to keep some territories, as you can see.
00:41:47
So the idea is that all the territories conquered by the Nazis are going to be now independent
00:41:55
states and these states are going to have their own population, the national population.
00:42:02
So they are going to dismantle the military industry.
00:42:12
However, during the war all the industry was addressed to military industry, to military
00:42:15
production, to produce bombs, to produce planes, to produce tanks, etc., anything they need,
00:42:21
so now we need to change the economy into a different way, of course we do not need
00:42:32
more tanks, we do not need more planes, we do not need more bombs, because the war is
00:42:36
ended so they need to dismantle the military industry and also
00:42:40
they are going to prosecute and punish the Nazi leaders in the Nuremberg
00:42:46
trials so if you check in this year for 1945-1946 they are going to take
00:42:50
place these Nuremberg trials and they are going to judge all these people in
00:42:58
these trials they were the Nazis the most important Nazis were judged like
00:43:03
like Hermann Goering, Ribbentrop, remember Ribbentrop, the one that signed the treaty with Molotov, the Nazi-Soviet pact,
00:43:09
we have Hans Frank, he was controlling part of Poland and the, I will say, and part of the extermination camps,
00:43:17
okay we are going to have also Alfred Rosenberg he is going to one of the main
00:43:28
ideology ideologies or thinkers of the Nazi regime Keitel the Admiral Keitel is
00:43:33
going to be the one that is going to surrender to to the Allies after the war
00:43:45
in in May 1945 so what you see is the main the main Nazis are going to be
00:43:50
executed the main Nazis are going to be executed or they are going to be in
00:43:59
prison so the idea is in this post-war conference with these two new presidents
00:44:05
and Stalin remaining they are going to decide to return all the
00:44:10
territories to creating the European countries before the war it means to end
00:44:14
with the Nazi occupation and re-establish the original countries, to dismantle the
00:44:20
military industry means to address the economy in a different way, in a
00:44:29
different way, to consumerism and finally to prosecute and punish these Nazi
00:44:32
leaders okay and I have shown you some of them. Finally we have the Paris Peace
00:44:39
Conference and in this Paris Peace Conference the only thing is that they
00:44:46
are going to sign the peace treaties with the Germans Germany's and other
00:44:49
allies okay so the idea is the last part is the Paris peace conference but the
00:44:54
most important thing are these three conference okay basically the Tron the
00:44:59
the conference of Tehran Tron conference the Yalta conference and the Poznan
00:45:04
conference these three conference are going to set the the world they are
00:45:09
going to give shape to shape the world after the Second World War because they
00:45:14
are going to re-establish the different European countries, they are going to
00:45:21
address the industry to different goals and they are going to
00:45:25
prosecute and punish the Nazi leaders and finally the peace treaties are going
00:45:31
to be signed here in the Paris Peace Conference in 1946 and that's it
00:45:36
that's the consequences of the war and in the next video we will talk about the
00:45:42
United Nations okay so remember we have seen the Jews and the Holocaust we have
00:45:46
seen the economic and social consequences and we have talked about
00:45:51
the different conferences that they are going to shape they're not a former no
00:45:58
they are going to shape the world after the Second World War a world after the
00:46:03
Second World War that is going to be based in this Cold War, the Guerra Fria, that
00:46:08
means that the world is going to be divided in two sides, the capitalist side
00:46:13
led by the USA and the communist side led by the Soviet Union.
