Coming Soon: 'The Great Civil War of the West: 1914-1945 - Part I'

'History Vince' to Teach Course on the Two World Wars at Clifton Community School, BUT only if 6 or more people ask for the class during the registration period!
Were the two world wars—which some historians now see as a thirty-year "civil war of the west"—unavoidable? Were they obligatory wars? Were the most devastating, destructive, and genocidal conflicts in human history destined to take place? Or were there other forces at work?
It has been said by many that the first casualty in any war is the truth. Even though it's been nearly sixty-five years since Admiral Doenitz of the German Navy signed the official unconditional terms of surrender, there are still atrociously dishonest lies of commission and omission when writing about or talking about what renowned British historian Norman Davies aptly referred to as "Europe in Torment". If you'd like a fresh look at this "overly done" subject and if you enjoy surprising anecdotage, then join Vincent Traina in the Spring at Clifton High School for Part I of The Great Civil War of the West: 1914-1945.
Be prepared to learn things they didn't teach you in High School about European and world events in this period.
The first part will cover the period from roughly 1900-1925:
- Learn about the events in Europe leading up to the First World War, like how the carnage was brought about by people like Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill and a tiny cabal in the British Cabinet in 1906.
- Learn about the political, economic, & social effects on the European populations during the Great War.
- Learn about the drastic worldwide changes which came about as a result of the War.
- Learn about the Carthaginian peace treaties that cut up central and eastern Europe and set the stage for phase two.

"Vince, I haven't gone into the depth of history as it appears in this article and in this world, there always........ are many sides to every subject of concern that are 'lost' because they are not carefully explained in full, for political reasons, or overlooked , or, people have been educated to 'speed-reading, etc.' and constantly overlook the 'important facts'.
When I saw mentioned, Winston Churchill, I have to tell you that in the midst of WWII, general Eisenhower, Winston Churchill, plus others knocked on the door of the Grand Hotel in Paris and spoke to me and my fellow soldiers as they were checking on us. During my military army service of four-plus years, I spent two years in the jungles of Panama/Columbia, S.A. and then another couple of years in Europe.
While in the jungles, I was generating hydrogen gas in the fields for 'barrage balloons', guarding the Panama Canal Locks and In Europe, I was in the Heavy Pole Line Signal Corps and climbed over 200o poles with just one spike in each leg brace. As a matter of fact, my crew performed special assignments for 'Ike Eisenhower' for the last month of the war in Europe. After that, we were on the ocean, headed for the China-Burma-India region and then the Atomic bomb was dropped.
Talk to you again, Angelo."
