Abstract

Završni rad analizira dva hladnoratovska događaja početkom 1960-ih od kojih je jedan prethodio drugomu, a riječ je o Berlinskoj i Kubanskoj krizi. Berlinsku krizu karakterizira nastojanja Sovjetskog Saveza da izbaci snage zapada iz podijeljenog, odnosno zapadnog Berlina. Kubanska raketna kriza označava vrhunac Hladnoga rata koji je zauvijek promijenio tijek povijesti. Upravo je politička važnost ovih događaja polazište za njihovo analiziranje u radu u kojem će se kroz kronološke presjeke objasniti kako je došlo do eskalacije, kako se ona razvijala i kako je to utjecalo na ključne aktere na suprotstavljenim stranama. Rad raščlanjuje kako je niz odluka doveo do nastanka navedenih kriza te kako su se razriješile kroz određene političke odluke. Rad se temelji na metodi prikupljanja podataka iz literature koja razrađuje događaje kroz analizu političkih odluka i strateških poteza suprotstavljenih subjekata.

Abstract (english)

The final paper analyzes two Cold War events in the early 1960s, one of which preceded the other, namely the Berlin and Cuban crises. The Berlin crisis is characterized by the efforts of the Soviet Union to expel the forces of the West from the divided, that is, West Berlin. The Cuban Missile Crisis marks the climax of the Cold War, which changed the course of history forever. The political importance of these events is the starting point for their analysis in a paper in which, through chronological sections, it will be explained how the escalation occurred, how it developed and how it affected the key actors on the opposing sides. The paper analyzes how a series of decisions led to the emergence of the aforementioned crises and how they were resolved through certain political decisions. The work is based on the method of data collection from the literature that elaborates the events through the analysis of political decisions and strategic moves of opposing subjects.
