This episode is brought to you by the Museum's Jenny Craig Institute for the Study of War and Democracy. We are taking a trip back to 2020 where our own Research Historian, Dr. Jason Dawsey had a discussion with Dr. Michael Neiberg, the inaugural Chair of War Studies in the Department of National Security and Strategy at the United States Army War College. This conversation commemorated the anniversary of The Potsdam conference, which started on July 17, 1945. Doctors Dawsey and Neiberg review how leaders, after the War, confronted the task of rebuilding a new international order. Key parts of this wide-ranging conversation cover the rise of Bolshevism and fascism after 1919, the invention of the atomic bomb, and the emergence of the Cold War and how world leaders dealt with these major challenges.
