3 Major hotspots during the cold war included Veitnam, Korea, and Germany. Although Cuba and South America were also focused areas. The three previous forlisted countries were involved through more drastic and notable measures. This included means like the Berlin wall, “The Forgotten War”, and the Veitnam war. Many of these things were a direct result of foreign Soviet and American involvement with the countries through proxies. This would intern result in political idealogical divide within the given countries. Many times taking the form of one half verses the other. Such as how south Korea was in opposition of north Korea, south Vietnam to north Veitnam, and East germany to west. This divide was essentially enforced by the larger global superpowers meddling with their wars. All the while pushing their own agendaʻs upon these idealy conflicted fore-fronts. Connecting to my Kahiau project, the concept that “the War to End All Wars” never completely ended could play a roll in instigating my proposed idea in an effective way. The ideals seen in Mālama Honua and the ʻike on Maunakea more line up with the ideals of Communism and Socialism. This is because of the previous anceint Hawaiian systems functioning in the same if not similar way. While those currently protesting, likely idealize the older traditional ways. This older Hawaiian system stands in opposition to the rule of the United States, as it is a strongly contrasting ideal to capitalism. Sadly, that same capitalst system seems to have worked against indigenous people in the past. As they were often unfamiliar with how to live through it, and it allowed others to exploit them and their lands. Many times as larger coutries would impose this idea they would take advantage of the fact that native people did not “buy” the land they lived on. While at the same time, many of these people understood a more socialist based economic system. So many times it would be a struggle to adapt too or accept these new odd systems. Citations:
