Could the Allies have prevented the fall of France and Western Europe?
FACT / EVIDENCE: Julian Jackson holds that “there are many strands to the fall of France.” One was a collapse of the political system, in that the Frances political structures and leadership was too relaxed (4). The second was that the French military doctrine comprised of placency, intellectual laziness, and conservatism (Jackson 21). Additionally, Frances allies were few as of 1939. Further, the attitude towards the war by the French people impacted the negative consequences that ensued. Most importantly, the strategy of high command was weak leading to the fall. According to Julian Jackson (7) strategy of high command is integral in war since “foreseeing an adversary’s intention, makes a skillful commander” yet France failed to see its adversaries intention.
ANALYSIS AND OPINION: In my opinion, the Allies could have prevented the fall of France and Western Europe. They could have prevented this if three things were different. The first is the attitude that the French had, which typically opposes regulation such that they acted as they pleased. The second is strategy. Invading Germany when Germany was rearming would have enhanced their chances of victory. The third was failing to foresee its adversaries intention and a failure to strategize well costed France and allies. Additionally, France’s political scene was so unstable. Therefore if France had maintained strong policies rather than the different shifts in government then they would have been in a better position to make more strategic and sound decisions that would in turn prevent their fall.

Looking at the Ad council and the Voice of America, one could suggest that the federal government during the early cold war embodied beliefs of democracy and a superiority complex. This is because both of them purpose to empower people with information. Additionally, they both strive to create awareness on various issues that allows the members of the public to make more informed decisions, consequently allowing for people to make their own choices as democracy holds. Most importantly they purpose to use information to wedge war and to drive their agenda as held by Shirky (28).
The Ad council compares to the Voice of America in that both broadcast information to large audiences on behalf of various sponsors. In the case of Voice of America, the broadcast information is promoted on behalf of the government whereas the information distributed by the advertising council is on behalf of sponsors such as Non-governmental institutions. On the contrary, the Ad council contrasts to the voice of America in that the Ad council distributes advertisements aimed at non-partisan social issues where as the voice of America content typically is partisan, seeing that it is aimed at influencing public opinion about the United states and its leaders, by spearheading the ideals and beliefs of the United States of America government.
All in all, the Ad council and Voice of America say three things about American culture and society. The first is that the American culture seeks to promote its ideals and beliefs amongst its own citizens and to other nations as well. This is evident through the formation of the Voice of America in 1942, and also through the tactics that the American government utilizes today to influence and strong arm the actions of other nations through posing injunctions. The second is that American culture and society is rooted on the principles of democracy. Finally, both the Ad council and voice of America highlight the importance of individual rights as held by the American culture , evident through the various public service announcements that are shared to shed a light on important social issues.
