As explained in Goldstein's Book , the Ministry of Peace revolves around the principle of Perpetual War . If the citizens of Oceania have a well-defined enemy, Eastasia or Eurasia, then they know who they hate, and constant homeland Propaganda helps to convince them to vent all their unconscious rage for their own country against the opposing one. Since that means the balance of the country rests in the war, the Ministry of Peace is in charge of fighting the war (mostly centered around Africa and India ), but making sure to never tip the scales, in case the war should become one-sided. Oceanic Telescreen s usually broadcast News reports about how Oceania is continuously winning every battle it fights, though these reports have little to no credibility. As with all the other ''Nineteen Eighty-Four'' ministries, the Ministry of Peace is named the exact opposite of what it does, since the Ministry of Peace is in charge of maintaining a state of war. |
