Henry Alfred Kissinger was born on May 27, 1923. Kissinger was born
Heinz Alfred Kissinger in Bavaria, Germany, in 1923 during the Weimar
Republic, to a family of German Jews. In 1938, fleeing Nazi persecution, his
family moved to London, England, before arriving in New York on
September 5.
On June 19, 1943, while stationed in South Carolina, at the age of 20 years, he
became a naturalized U.S. citizen.
The talks concluded with a rapprochement between the United States and the
People's Republic of China, and the formation of a new strategic anti-Soviet
Sino-American alignment.

Kissinger too , tried to normalize the relations with Cuba that was broken
since 1961 ( trade between the USA and Cuba was blocked , Cuba was
excluded from the Organization of American States ) . But after involvement
of Cuba’s Army in the independence struggles in Angola and Mozambique ,
Kissinger changed his point of view because Cuba refused to withdrew its
forces .
In case of that , we can observe that his political purpose was to maintain
prestige and strength of the USA and to avert extension of the USSR .
These show to us how devoted is Kissinger to pilitics . He dedicated all his life
for working in this area .
Conclusions
In my point of view , the personality of Henry Kissinger is so interesting . In
period of his activity , he was always in the center of news , after president
sure , because his policy activities were so vast and miscellaneous.
3.In 1980, Kissinger won the National Book Award in History for the first
volume of his memoirs, The White House Years.
And , in case of that , anyway , he was criticized by other public people. For
example :
‘Henry Kissinger is one of the worst people to ever be a force for good.’
By Nicholas Thompson, editor of newyorker.com and author of The Hawk and
the Dove: Paul Nitze, George Kennan and the History of the Cold War
Henry Kissinger is one of the worst people to ever be a force for good. He
manipulated colleagues and nations. He faked the beginning of a nuclear war
in order to advance some perverse personal game theory. He callously
perpetrated international crimes. But he was a man of ideas at the center of
an American strategy that ultimately benefited the world in some grand sense.
His China policy was one of America’s great Cold War achievements. He
deserves to be honored and to be given a medal—but one with the image of a
man who is scowling and holding a knife. Henry Kissinger was a success—a
true, American success—but he can only be called an idealist if he can be
called despicable too.
The best to be said for him was that he was creative in his diplomacy.’
By James Mann, author of About Face: A History of America’s Curious
Relationship With China and resident scholar at Johns Hopkins School of
Advanced International Studies
The notion that Kissinger was fundamentally an idealist is, to me, utterly
preposterous. Indeed, during his period in office he reveled in his realism.
The best to be said for him was that he was creative in his diplomacy, shaking
up old patterns and relationships across the globe. Inside Washington he was
also, along with Donald Rumsfeld, one of the two or three most skillful
bureaucratic warriors of modern times; his most consistent trait was to amass
as much power and control as possible in his own office and person. But his
claims to brilliance often fell apart on closer scrutiny. (The China initiative,
for example, began with Richard Nixon, not Kissinger—and Kissinger
concealed for years some of the concessions he made in Beijing.) On the
whole, he was and is vastly overrated as a statesman.
These are only the part of , we can see that they are divided in : who accept
his policy activity and who condemn it.
For me , was usefull to read this information because this experience will help
me in my future development in International Relations specialization .
Nowdays , it is very important to know how to manage with different kind of
information and drawing ourselves conclusions in foreign affairs for do the
best in.

CHAPTER I: HYSTORY
CONCLUSIONS
BIBLIOGRAPHY
INTRODUCTION
Settled in ancient times, the Central European land that is now Austria was
occupied in pre-Roman times by various Celtic tribes. The Celtic kingdom
of Noricum was later claimed by the Roman Empire and made a province. Present-
day Petronell-Carnuntum in eastern Austria was an important army camp turned
capital city in what became known as the Upper Pannonia province. Carnuntum
was home for 50,000 people for nearly 400 years.
The first record showing the name Austria is from 996, where it is written
as Ostarrîchi. In 1156, Austria obtained the status of a duchy. In the 14th and 15th
centuries, the Habsburgs began to accumulate other provinces in the vicinity of the
Duchy of Austria. In the 17th and 18th centuries, Austria participated, together with
Prussia and Russia, in the first and the third of the three Partitions of Poland (in
1772 and 1795). In the 19th century, Austria became engaged in a war
with Revolutionary France, at the beginning highly unsuccessfully, with successive
defeats at the hands of Napoleon, meaning the end of the old Holy Roman Empire
in 1806. Two years earlier, the Empire of Austria was founded. In 1814, Austria
was part of the Allied forces that invaded France and brought to an end the
Napoleonic Wars.
After the second World War, much like Germany, Austria was divided into
American, British, French, and Soviet zones and governed by the Allied
Commission for Austria. On 15 May 1955, after talks which lasted for years and
were influenced by the Cold War, Austria regained full independence by
concluding the Austrian State Treaty with the Four Occupying Powers. On 26
October 1955, after all occupation troops had left, Austria declared its "permanent
neutrality" by an act of parliament.
Austria consistently ranks high in terms of GDP per capita, due to its highly
industrialized economy, and well-developed social market economy. Next to a
highly developed industry, international tourism is the most important part of the
national economyand its consists of 90% in gross domestic product.
Since the fall of communism, Austrian companies have been quite active players
and consolidators in Eastern Europe.
