dc.description.abstract	The cultural re-education of West Germany that followed the Second World War, has often been discussed and analyzed by scholars of different disciplines. A perspective that still lacked in the discourse surrounding the subject was a close study of how Hollywood films were used in the re-education, specifically with respect to American imperialism. The way these films are used are a prime example of an effective yet inexpensive way of using soft power in expanding an economic, political, and cultural empire. This thesis will look into the ways in which Hollywood films contributed to American imperialism and the strategies the U.S. government used to expand its empire in the early years of the Cold War. It will go into the relationship between American imperialism and soft power, and how that relationship becomes visible during the cultural re-education of West Germany.	en_US
