- DESCRIPTION:
-
When Winston Churchill called for an alliance
against Soviet communism after the Second World
War ended, it signalled the beginning of the
Cold War with tensions and distrust. Spies and
double agents dominated the world scene and
Canadians reacted by stressing security. Civil
servants were put through strict security checks
and 2 diplomats died while under suspicion.
This climate of deception climaxed in Quebec in
1970 when the FLQ crisis revealed the confusion
besetting governments and police forces in their
dealings with national security and civil
liberties.

often does not permit migration of the fluid
and results in situations where the pore fluid

statue; meditation is presented as the way
to become aware; renunciation, as the way
of self-defense against change. Expressions
are studied in village ceremony and in monastic
retreat.

Equal opportunity (occupations) means removal

not sufficient to give true equal opportunities
as there are some barriers such as poor health,
education and environment which cannot be
legislated. The ideal is to compensate for
all these disadvantages. Dr. Govier views
the concept of equal opportunity from an abstract

Considered by many to be the cornerstone of

this is a film based on the life of Josef Suess
Oppenheimer, once the finance minister of the
German duchy of Wurtemburg led by Karl Alexander
in 1733. Shows the machinations of the two as they
undermine the authority of the Council and impose
unconstitutional taxes to support their lavish
way of life. As well as giving the viewer insight
into the customs of the 18th century, it also
features a subplot of the struggle of a man of
power for control over an innocent young girl.
Offers insight into the stereotypes found in the
National Socialist concept of society.

-
25 min., sd., col., 1/2" Beta 3.

FILMS FOR THE HUMANITIES, 1986.
- DESCRIPTION:
-
The Great War began without any war aims other
than winning. In 1916, the Germans agreed to
settle the war if they could keep the territories
they had overrun and the English agreed to
settle if the Germans gave up their conquered
lands and paid compensations. As the war dragged
on, revolutions took place throughout Europe.
Trotsky, unable to negotiate an acceptable
treaty with the Germans, tried simply to declare
the war over for Russia. In November 1918, warring
countries simply signed with the nearest available
allies. In the end, the armistice did not define
or resolve the war aims either; instead,
everything was left to the peace treaty.

The Paris Peace Conference drew up the treaties;
when a particular one was ready, the defeated

to sign. The treaty with the Germans, signed at
Versailles, involved not only the matter of
boundaries but of indemnities and war criminals -
and most important, precautions to prevent
Germany from starting another war. The subject of
Poland was not solved to anyone's satisfaction
which nearly led to a new war in 1920.

Shows that World War II ended in different places
at different times: France bowed out in 1940,

surrender probably caused the war to go on even
after the German generals knew they could not
win. The war also took unforseen turns because
of the attempts of the Soviet Union and the
Western Allies to outfox one another. It took
Emperor Hirohito's surrender to General
MacArthur to end World War II.
