the russian czar was overthrown by the pol bolsheviks. >> world war i was the key turning point. the end of one and the beginning. >> it an i'll lated the economies, paving the way for the u.s. to be an economic powerhouse. but yet the u.s. was seen as a political teenager. the idea of turning to the americans to play a decisive role in a global conflict was unheard of before then. >> there were appalling things that came out of the first world war, obviously, but it also led to votes for women, and improvements in mezvinsky, and improvements in public health. there were huge changes that came about because of this vast global conflict. >> the war effort shattered traditions of daily life. for the first time in history, women, en masse, left the house and went to work, and when the women returned from the factory, many did not have husbands to return to. in britain, for example, 1.2 million women, from 25-34, were still not married by 1921 because so many young men died in battle. from global leaders to people on the streets, these entennial events are a reminder that people in m

particularly this idea of the stab in the back myth that the german army was let down by socialists and bolsheviksat home and pacifists at home. the article 231 in the treaty of versailles is particularly important. not only was germany being labeled but morally responsible for the war. so the victorious powers were able to impart all this guilt on to germany. i think it's worth bearing in mind that there are almost two decades between the end of the first world war and the beginning of the second world war. and a lot happens in that time. it's dangerous if we approach the topic or we try to connect the two wars in this linear way that we ignore some very genuine and worthwhile attempts at peacekeeping and in particular i'm referring to attempts from the treaties in the mid 1920's, 1925, and to bring together antagonistic france and germany to a point where they were speaking and bringing in programs. the league of nations much aligned, not particularly effective but laid the foundation for the united nations. >> harry truman was an artillery officer in the first world war. charles de gaulle was b

when the bolsheviks replaces the czar, they improved on many of the things that he did, for example,he gulags in siberia. when putin and boris yeltsin we placed the soviet system, they didn't change many of the judges, many of the bureaucrats. the system is still beak the same. it's until now more open to the world. i think we're going to see after putin, if he ever leaves, is a system that's going to look a lot like this, if not worse. >> and julia, weigh also learned today that nsa leaker edward snowden will be allowed to stay in are youria for three more years. how do you think putinect canned that decision in his head to his political war with the west? >> i think it's another way to ding the west. i think this would have happened even if russia hadn't annexed crimea and even if we didn't have the trade war starting with the russians. snowden has nowhere to gfr thanks to u.s. policy. if he were to leave russia, his plane would probably be brought down somewhere. he would probably be extradited to a country like brazil where he said he wants 0 go instead of russia. putin can't be

subsequently the bolsheviks, when they seized it, weren't able to manipulate it because they had locked up all the brains in the staff and expelled all of our american staff so it shut down and it was closed, i think, for 15 years or more and all those people put out of a job. >> i see. during your experience in russia, how did you get along with the russian people? >> we got along extremely well because at that time the government was anxious to see the development of the natural resources of the country and we were the first americans to come in. we had no political implications. british and french and all the other nationalities carried with them certain political possibility so the russians welcomed the americans. we had no trouble getting on with the people because that type of an operation, we tried to get the best intelligence. we paid wages far higher than the common wage of the country. we never had a strike or a labor difficulty. >> mr. hoover, did you ever hear from any of those russian workers afterward? >> some years after that, i undertook a relief of communist russia on b

like had taken place in russia, a bolshevik-type coup. and so there was quite a lot of chaos.nd then under the versailles treaty, there was the idea in germany that either all arms or all military arms had to be surrendered including by civilians. there were actually legal interpretations in germany that no civilian could own any gun, and they all had to be turned in. there were actually court cases about this during the early 1920s. but things calmed down somewhat. but then we head to 1923, you have the great inflation, and you have a communist uprising in hamburg which was ruthlessly put down, and then you have hitler's -- nubble in munich where -- [inaudible] in munich where they actually succeeded in seizing a beer hall, but they didn't succeed in seizing the state.
