Enigma cipher machines were designed to create complex encrypted messages that were almost impossible to break. Before and during the Second World War, Germany and its allies were using Enigma machines on the battlefield, at sea, in the sky and within its secret services, to send military messages. #DancetheCurriculum #school #escuelas #history #historia #curriculum #creativeschools #escuelascreativas

#CWTEE - 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐖𝐚𝐫 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲? 🕰️ Here is what Prof. Dr. Johny Santana de Araújo says: “The study of the Cold War constitutes a very important field of Military History, Contemporary History, the History of International Relations, Political History and the History of Conflicts. The relevance is indisputable due to the production of memory, meanings and the broad cultural aspect involved, constituting a very current universe.” If you want to read our members' full answers, please visit our website https://lnkd.in/dP5nFsqA

During periods of colonization, imperial powers often employed terms like "pacification," "civilizing mission," or "manifest destiny" to describe their actions.These terms, often used by imperial forces, were intended to shape narratives in their favor. For example, the term "pacification" might be used to justify military actions that suppress resistance but may not accurately represent the experiences or perspectives of the colonized populations. The power dynamics involved in framing narratives can influence how historical events are perceived. #Example of Power Dynamics and Imperial Narratives

Like Clausewitz, the strategic thinking of Alfred Thayer Mahan is often misunderstood and frequently misappropriated by those who have read only the first chapter of his well-known work: The Influence of Sea Power Upon History. Mahan's writings have been both misquoted and quoted out of context, sprinkled like so much seasoning atop the works of lesser minds. Over the decades, his novel concept of seapower and of the pervasiveness of its noiseless but ceaseless effect upon the rise and fall of nations has been distorted into a crude concept of combat superiority. This excellent book by Nicholas A. Lambert and published by the U.S. Naval Institute dashes all of that upon the proverbial rocks by examining the totality of Mahan's writing over decades and restoring him to his rightful place at the doyen of maritime statecraft. Mahan's ideas about the centrality of commercial and economic competition to naval affairs should be much better understood, and our rivals have certainly taken them to heart over the past decades. It is long past time we remembered them. #seapower #navy #defense #strategy #nationalsecurity #maritimestatecraft #strategicthinking

-- Sun Tzu Sun Tzu, also known as Sun Wu, was an ancient Chinese General, military strategist, philosopher, and writer who lived during the Eastern Zhou period (771–256 BC). He is traditionally credited as the author of "The Art of War," an influential work on military strategy that has impacted both Western and East Asian philosophical and military thinking. Sun Tzu's birth name was Sun Wu, and he was known outside of his family by his courtesy name Changqing. The name Sun Tzu, which means "Master Sun," is an honorific title. His teachings on warfare advocate for strategic flexibility and psychological warfare, emphasizing the importance of adaptability in response to changing circumstances. "The Art of War" has been revered for centuries and continues to be a significant influence on both military planning and strategy in various fields beyond the military, including business and legal strategies. #inspirationalquote #motivationalquote #wisdomquotes #lifelesson #SunTzu
