Sinopse

The Road To Helsinki is the history of how Europe stepped back from the brink of a third World War.ááVictory in Europe was declared on May 8, 1945. On March 6, 1946, Winston Churchill delivered his famous &ldquo,Iron Curtain&rdquo, speech in Fulton, Missouri. It seemed that World War II had not ended. Europe moved immediately into a &ldquo,Cold War&rdquo,, with armed camps in a divided Europe, but this time with nuclear weapons. The Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe, signed on August 1, 1975, thirty years after VE Day, has often been called &ldquo,The Peace Treaty of World War II&rdquo,. It was the harbinger of the reunification of Germany, the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and the expansion of the European Union and NATO. It is a history of great diplomacy and political courage, of great statesmen and politicians, on both sides of the Iron Curtain.
