The Cold WarCold War International History Project http://www.wilsoncenter.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=topics.home&topic_id=1409 The Cold War International History Project (CWIHP) website! CWIHP was established at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C., in 1991. The Project disseminates new information and perspectives on the history of the Cold War, in particular new findings from previously inaccessible sources on "the other side" -- the former Communist world. The Woodrow Wilson Center established the Canada Institute to explore one of America's most important bilateral relationships, but one that gets far less attention in Washington than it deserves. For most Americans, Canada is—in the words of former U.S. Ambassador James Blanchard—"the invisible world next door." See http://wwics.si.edu/index.cfm?topic_id=1420&fuseaction=topics.intro for more on this aspect. Canada and the early Cold War 1943-57 - http://www.dfait-maeci.gc.ca/department/history/coldwar-en.asp The book activated by this link contains a collection of essays on Canada and the early Cold War produced by Canada’s Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT). It resulted from a colloquium held in November 1997 to mark the 30th anniversary of the publication of the first volume in the series Documents on Canadian External Relations ( DCER). It examines Canadian diplomacy during one of its most fruitful periods. (Click on the image to get the book’s hyperlinked Table of Contents).
Canada, the U.S. and the Cold War - http://www.duke.edu/~vqn/canada.htm “The end of the Second World War marks the beginning of the Cold War. Having defused the Nazi regime menace, the center of menacing powers shifted eastward to the Soviet Union and China. Immediately thereafter, democratic Western countries became embroiled in an effort to protect the world from communism and totalitarianism. This shift in foe and focus produced lasting implications on the relations of Canada and the United States.” This site contains various items (mostly images and lists) that may be of general interest. |
