The race of the 1950s between the superpowers, primarily the United States and the Soviet Union, was characterized by intense competition in several areas, notably military power, technological advancement, and ideological influence. This period saw the escalation of the Cold War, marked by events like the arms race, the launch of Sputnik in 1957, and the establishment of military alliances such as NATO and the Warsaw Pact. Both nations sought to demonstrate their superiority through nuclear weapons development and space exploration, which significantly impacted global politics and tensions. Ultimately, this rivalry shaped international relations and set the stage for future conflicts and competition.

The British planned and carried out attacks on civilian areas of German cities during World War II primarily as part of a strategy to undermine German morale and disrupt industrial production. By targeting cities, they aimed to weaken the German war effort and compel the population to pressure their government for peace. Additionally, the bombings were intended to demonstrate the vulnerability of the German homeland, thereby instilling fear and uncertainty. This approach reflected the total war strategy adopted by both sides, where civilian populations were increasingly seen as legitimate targets in the conflict.

The Great Depression hit Germany particularly badly as many areas of the economy were dependent on short-term loans from abroad, especially the U.S., and these were not renewed. When the Great Depression struck the process of government became increasingly unwieldy, and from October 1930 onwards the Chancellor relied to a large extent on rule by decree. The country also became increasingly polarized. It lack a broadly based 'conventional' right-wing party, and the popularity of the Nazi party rose sharply.
