The influence of the alleged existence of a "bomber gap" on diplomacy and strategy of the United States of America in the crisis of 1956 during the first presidential period of D. D. Eisenhower
Krebs, Martin ; Pondělíček, Jiří (advisor) ; Raška, Francis (referee)
The "bomber gap" crisis is not well known in the general Cold War consciousness. In addition, the generally accepted and, from my point of view, simplified course of the formation of the "bomber gap" can be questioned using relevant sources, and the same is true of the dating event, which is also treated very loosely. If the course of this event was questioned, it is necessary to look for the cause of the "bomber gap" in a different, than generally accepted plane, referring to the observation during the air show. Some authors thus offer an explanation of the "bomber gap" both from the point of view of political economy and from the point of view of the human factor in the secret services. The second view of the "bomber gap" concerns both crises taking place at the end of 1956, the Suez Crisis and the Hungarian Uprising. Although it would seem that strategic air power and nuclear bombs will be a key factor and play a more important role in solving both crises, where both strategies and doctrines of the two great powers, the doctrine of the liberation of Eastern Europe from communism and the Soviet doctrine of penetration into the countries of the Third, indirectly clashed world. At first glance, the strategic air force here played a secondary role, the capacities of both countries for a nuclear...

Korbel, Tomáš ; Soukup, Jaromír (advisor) ; Kofroň, Jan (referee)
The bachelor's thesis "The Suez Crisis: Impacts on Great Britain's Policy and Development of the International Relations " focuses on the pivotal moments and consequences of one of the largest crises during the Cold War, the Suez Crisis, which took place in 1956. The focal point of this event was the Israeli attack on Egypt which was supported by Great Britain and France. The United States and the USSR also diplomatically entered the conflict, which ended up being the deciding factor in the entire situation. This thesis dissects the factors which led to the outbreak of the Suez Crisis, the crisis itself as well as its eventual consequences. The goal of the work is also to identify who eventually won and lost because of this conflict. Furthermore, the paper also discusses what effects the Suez crisis eventually had on Great Britain and what developments it meant in terms of the relationships between the main actors that played a role in the crisis.

"Special Relationship" in the Era of Harold Macmillan (1957-1963)
Beranová, Monika ; Soukup, Jaromír (advisor) ; Jeřábek, Martin (referee)
This thesis analyzes key moments from the tenures of Harold Macmillan as British Prime Minister and John Fitzgerald Kennedy as President of the United States. The United Kingdom and the United States had a Special Relationship between them, which was based upon their close political cooperation. Macmillan and Kennedy deepend this relation by their personal friendship, which played a major role in the course of finding solutions to the conflicts they had to face in the context of the Cold War, when there was a real possibility of nuclear annihilation. The analysis shows that the Special Relationship in the years 1957-1963 went through several dynamic developments, however it never lost its unique status. Despite initial distrust between the two countries immediately following the Suez Crisis, both politicians always managed to find a compromise solution. Thanks to their friendship and deep personal respect, they managed to always unite, even during times of gravest peril. A typical example of the personal relationship is the Cuban Missile Crisis, when Kennedy kept in touch via telephone with Macmillan and often asked him for advice. By virtue of this contact, Macmillan became one of the President's principal advisors in the course of the crisis. The Special Relationship between the two countries did...
