Russian Propaganda

In this poster I think the drawer is trying to say that the United Nations are getting apart because of some problem that is occurring that time. This doesn’t show much to people that what are they doing, but it could show that the United Nations are falling apart. As you see in this poster, at the bottom left there are many nuclear pointing at the United Nation sign and inside the bombs there is the white house. This might represent that the US are the one that are attacking on the United Nations that were form after WW1 when Germany lost to the alliance. This poster shows much what event is happening and what the problem is. 

In this poster the drawer is trying to say that the two bridges coming is representing of some two sides in Russia joining together or showing that peace is going to happen. And if you see closer in the poster you will see that there is a date on the poster “28 October 1917”. It is trying to tell people that peace is coming and it is coming soon enough as the sun sets down. I think that this poster doesn’t affect any one in Russia because it is showing of peace not offending other people to get their anger.

In this poster the drawer is trying to tell about the popular word of Lenin “Learn, learn, learn!” it is coming through people’s life and showing that the soviet society has arrived. At that time the atmosphere in Russia was really bad because of the war and revolution going all over Russia. In this poster, the soviets wanted people to get educated or something after the disasters of war and revolution. And I think that the guy in the center might be some leader that would help people to educate and the background shows people, usually kids, happy because they get educated and everything came back the same way they have waited for after the revolution and the war.

Machine Guns WW1

I choose this topic, machine guns because I think that it is a powerful weapon which killed many millions people in the war. It is interesting that one weapon can make you powerful than other people that you face. I will tell you about the machine gun during the WW1.
Machine guns of all armies were very heavy and difficult to transport because of its weight. Each weighed about 30kg to 60kg, often without their mountings, carriages, and supplies. It was the standard of a medium/heavy machine gun of the British army from before World War1 and up to 1960. Most armies had adopted some kind of air cooled machine gun so that the machine gun could fire in a longer period. Machine guns could shoot hundreds of rounds of ammunition a minute. A single machine gun was estimated to be worth as many as 60 to 100 rifles. Machine guns were a main killer in war, which they have killed thousands of people.
In 1912, the British Army adopted the Vickers as its standard machine gun; it was produced by the Vickers Company. Vickers Gun could fire over 600 rounds per minute and had a range of 4,500 yards. These machine guns were mainly used in trenches to defend Germans to cross their line. When war was declared with the British in August, 1914, Vickers was manufacturing 12 machine guns a week. By 1915, Vickers could supply the British army with 2,405 guns. These increases continued throughout World War1: 7,429 guns (1916); 21,782 guns (1917) and 39,473 guns (1918).
Germans also uses machine guns. They placed their machine guns slightly in front of their lines to ensure that the machine gun crews can see a full view of the battlefield. In the opening of the Battle of The Somme, within a minute thousands of British troops fell. As the war developed machine guns were adapted for use on tanks on broken ground, particularly on the Western Front. Then the light machine guns were adopted to be fitted in British and French aircraft after 1916 and later began the ‘dog fight’.
