union represented. it may be true the western allies lacked the military power e ofrevent these soviet rap eastern europebut posterity is entitled to wish that roosevelt had rendered himself less indifferent to it. after five years in power, the british wartime coalition came to an end upon the withdrawal of the labour party in the spring of 1945. winston churchill was no longer the leader of the national government. forgeneral election was set july, the first in 10 years. a smoking ruin and a war in the pacific still raging. voting was withheld over three weeks before the results were declared. joseph stalined and the new american president, and harry truman in potsdam, german -- germany. churchill's former wartime deputy also attended in case the ongoing counts would elevate him in churchill's place. few people thought that would happen. it was with some trepidation that he would return to london for the declaration of the vote. some in his entourage, confident they would be returning with the elected prime minister even left their luggage behind. it was not to be. the british people, exhausted by to p

western researchers. and so the soviet union in in the 80s did sometimes provide evidence to osi and also make witnesses available for depositions in the soviet union. so the captive nations, the communities in the united states accused us of collaborating with the soviets. and we were using forged documents and that was a big argument in the case. the photo id card which put him there was soviet forgery. and that we tested, we had any kind of documentary evidence that we received from soviet union thoroughly tested for ink and pape eastern handwriting and in one case we got a fingerprint. that matches that of the subject. so that was the argument that we shouldn't be -- that these were anti-communists who were being smeared by the soviets. >> i think that point barrie and also rickie's point about new documents are a reminder also that sometimes the delay changes the context of the trial in such a dramatic way. it's no the just about whether justice is delayed but that it's pursued in a way that maybe it could or couldn't be otherwise. original wli in cleveland it really was very wrenching for the cleveland comm

western non-communists supporters left. the final straw was 196 when 8 they refused to condemn the soviet union for the acts of aggression. even western communist parties left the world peace council. one that didn't was the u.s. communist party, which was by that time more stalinist than even soviet communists. they were stern, held fast to this. while the soviet union capitalized on peace and used the term too liberally in its political rhetoric, the united states went the opposite direction. it began to associate any peace organization, any peace pronouncement from individuals with communism. it used the two terms synonymously. peace advocates were regularly investigated by the house on american activities committee. peace groups became targets of mccarthyism. as late as 1962, the chairman had this to say. i'm quoting here. it's quite interesting. it is a basic communist doctrine to fight for peace. peace propaganda anda aggitatio have an affect. it impedes or prevents adequate defense preparation, hinders effective diplomacy in the national interest, undermines the will to exist and saps national strength. this was the

western states. what are they going to be? are they going to be slave states are free state and that was the rock that broke the union apart and once the union breaks the question is which ways california going to go? california has all the golden who gets that gold has a big leg up in the contest between north and south. california happen to be populated not overwhelmingly but there were a whole lot of southerners and southern sympathizers who had gone out to california. .. it took months for the news to get back and forth and all sorts of things could happen and that's why the transcontinental railroad was built come to keep california in the union because until the republicans in congress passed a bill funding the transcomm transcontinental, california was thinking about maybe we'll take nevada with his. that whole western slope could spin off and become the pacific republic. but once california was promised a railroad then those people who took four months to get out to california could imagine getting back back in four days. changes everything. another question perhaps.

so what happens among western allies, well, the question is what can they do to help the soviet union well, the british are extended, the americans are unready. the logistics are getting ammunitions to soviets are difficult. one thing identified in washington and london at the time is that they think and sincerely believe that if the japanese come into the war and join the soviets in the attack, the germans in the attacks, that might be the knockout blow against the soviet union and so they decide that what's most important thing to do is to keep china in the war, to keep japan tied down, so they then receive important information from harry hopkins. hospital since had been on a mission for president roosevelt. hopkins was roosevelt's principal adviser, combination of a national security adviser and chief of staff. he had gone to moscow and had interview with stalin himself and at the interview stalin had said when hopkins said what is immediate that you need, i need antiaircraft and aluminum and hopkins come back that you obviously can't use aluminum in the battlefield. stalin is goi

of the soviets invaded western europe or grabbed west berlin and we responded by blowing up the soviet union they could blow up us and that is when it was decided we should have some conventional weapons so we don't have to go nuclear right away but also thought about limited nuclear war. maybe if a war starts maybe we can just launch some weapons at their military forces and tell them if you strike back against us we will take the weapons we have left and hit your cities. the people who came up with the idea had serious doubts whether this was plausible. they thought, if they had to bet on it they would bet that it would all go sky high from the outset that they figured if there's a small chance this might be controlled let's go for it. and so president kennedy comes into office with the situation. the war plan was still, the blowup everything, in berlin the russians are threatening by the end of the year, taking over berlin. most of you realize that some of you do not, berlin, west berlin, it was 100 miles inside east germany, a small enclave of freedom and democracy and there is no way of
