Visual Source #4: "Just when we were on top of the world" Political Cartoon

# data[].attributes.body
This political cartoon includes destroyed soviet flags coming out of a volcano labeled "satellite reaction". The words above the volcano say "Just when we were on top of the world". This could comment on how the Soviet's involvement with other satellite states (specifically East Germany) has created an instability in Soviet leadership, as portrayed through the broken flags coming out of the volcano (flags could represent the USSR government). As a result, it prevents the USSR from becoming "on top of the world", or in other words, gaining power on the western powers.

This image could represent the East Germans, Americans, and Western powers view on the Soviet Union, as the volcano shows the USSR's "instability" to control their satellite states. This image can also be thought of from the Soviet Union's perspective since it shows their difficulties in leadership from the USSR's involvement in Satellite States.

Visual Source #3:  "Russia: Tell him who you love" political cartoon

# data[].attributes.body
The "Russia: Tell him who you love" political cartoon shows a more 'demanding' man on the left, labeled "Big 3" and on the right, a ragged and less confident looking man labeled "East Germany". There is also a hand holding a gun, which represents the Soviet Union through the symbol on the sleeve. This portrays that the Americans and the West (represented as the "Big 3") believed that the people in East Germany were forced (from the gun) to support the Soviet Union.

This is especially significant to the Cold War because it shows that America and the Western powers believed that the USSR was interfering  with East German support of western proposals for the reunification of Germany.

Visual Source #2: Berlin Riots by British Pathé

# data[].attributes.body
In British Pathé's short video containing actual footage from the Berlin Riots, the large masses of people gathering to riot shows East German people's dislike for the USSR's leadership in East Germany. This was especially apparent when people burned Soviet and Communist flags as well as destroyed police buildings, where Soviet authority was. This portrays the historical perspective of America and the West because it focuses specifically on the USSR's mistreatment of the rioters, as revealed when officials used war tanks and violence to stop rioters.

Text Source #5 - Soviet report about the East German Uprising that blames the West for the protests

# data[].attributes.body
Soviet officials believed that the protests were organized in advance by West German groups, and associated the protests with fascism, displaying not only their beliefs towards the cause of the Uprising, but also their ideologies and their opinions on them
"The provocative plan of the reactionary and fascist-like elements has been wrecked"
"It may be considered that a special organization based in West Berlin has directed the strikes in East Berlin. Analyzing the situation, I have also come to the conclusion that the provocation was prepared in advance, organized, and directed from Western sectors of Berlin"

In the page of 44 show the wall between western power, and eastern Europe that represent the Iron Curtain.  This tell me that the western power thought the Iron wall was contributor to the uprising due the limited economics between allied countries.

The west thought the causation of the uprising was on how eastern Germany was build on lies of unity.
"The German

Democratic Republic was ‘a creation of the Cold War’, an ‘artificial state, with a communist

regime’ that ‘lacked indigenous legitimacy."

Viewed the uprising as a result of western aggression, stating that the West contradicted itself and only wanted to continue conflict
"Thus, the position of the Western powers had the goal of obstructing a peaceful settlement of the German problem, shifting the responsibility for this on the USSR, and at the same time preserving the division of Germany and expediting the inclusion of West Germany in the aggressive bloc."

# data[].attributes.body
Applebaum argues that the riots and protests in East Germany occurred due to unrest stirred up by the change in Soviet leadership at the time, the less restrictive policies the Soviets implemented and Ulbricht's more oppressive policies.
"Emboldened by the announcement of the New Course, cheered on by Stalin's death, frustrated by the fact that the new policies didn't seem to include lower work quotas, Berlin's workers had taken to the streets to protest" (Applebaum 438-439).
