20th Century Wars

40 years on: The Falklands crisis – A socialist answer

Details Ted Grant logo 07 Apr 2022

The Falklands War began 40 years ago this week. As Ted Grant explains, this was an imperialist conflict between Britain and the Argentinian Junta. The task of the Marxists was – and is – to explain the class interests behind the war.

Hitler's war on the Soviet Union - and how Stalin prepared the way for it

Details Andrew Wagner logo 22 Jun 2021

Today is the 80th anniversary of Operation Barbarossa, the German invasion of the Soviet Union in World War Two. This bloody catastrophe, which claimed the lives of almost 5m Soviet troops and saw the Nazis plunge deep into Soviet territory, was facilitated by the wrecking behaviour of Stalin and the bureaucracy. 

Winston Churchill: A modern myth

Details Harry Whittaker logo 08 May 2020

Today marks the 75th anniversary of VE Day. The establishment are pushing flag-waving jingoism down people's throats, to distract from the COVID-19 crisis. We must tell the truth about WWII and the so-called 'war hero' Winston Churchill.

The Tet Offensive: the turning point in the Vietnam War

Details Alan Woods logo 30 Jan 2018

On the 50th anniversary of the Tet Offensive, we republish here Alan Woods' analysis of the Vietnam War, which highlights the significance of the Tet Offensive in bringing about the defeat of US imperialism.

The Vietnam War: eye-opening documentary shows full horror of imperialism

Details Steve Jones logo 20 Dec 2017
