In February of 1943, the United States Army’s Signal Intelligence Service (SIS) launched a secret program with efforts to gather and decrypt, and later exploit, Soviet diplomatic communications. It took nearly two years before American cryptologists were able to break the KGB encryption. The information that was gained – in more than 2,000 messages – provided “insight into Soviet intentions and treasonous activities of government employees” (“VENONA”).

But what exactly made Venona possible? Who was involved? What did the program find?…

Resulting in Canada becoming more vigilant and attentive when applying rules and enforcing orders. Forming the identity of Canada, as past leaders and protectors showed their strength by implementing laws forcefully. Guaranteeing security for Canada at the time and for future circumstances. The specification of Canada had been emphasized by higher anarchy displaying control as the Gouzenko affair changed the playing field and displayed courage throughout that…
In giving us Perry’s interests Mr. Smith proves to be an utterly unreliable source of information. He describes him as a Sober man who likes the company of decent people and likes best to work for himself.

He says that: they are both sharp even though neither had much schooling, they were made of outdoor jobs, they like to be their own bosses, they are fast learners, they are both skilled at many things and most importantly, for he repeats this idea throughout the whole letter, that they are both quite sensitive, or “touchie” as he calls it, “his feelings is very easily hurt, and so are mine.” Somehow, Perry’s father is…

Throughout history there has been a lot of small event and long term event that lead to bigger conflict or event that lead people from other countries to fight each other by step by step.
