I love history and have always been facinated by the decisions made prior to and during war by the leaders of the countries involved. I will start this thread with a interesting vid which is examining the events leading to WWII.

Re: War
There was a series on the Canadian Broadcasting Channel that showed how propaganda (bullxxxx) was used to get people to go to war during WWII even though there wasn't an eminent threat. Hollywood led by Warner Bros. (the Hrya brothers) led the persuasion in the U.S.
CBC and Radio Canada present a 6 part documentary series about the role propaganda played during World War Two. With newsreels, posters, speeches, rallies, songs and radio, entire populations were convinced to go to war. Hosted by The Hour's George Stroumboulopoulos, Love, Hate and Propaganda is a primer on the art of mass persuasion, aimed directly at a media-savvy generation
