The VENONA Project(part 1)

I somehow randomly got a thought about this. I do not know how I thought of it, but I went on the internet and searched for it. I got a result from Wikipedia and decided to do this post on it. BTW, Wikipedia means wiki and -pedia(you can actually search Wikipedia on Wikipedia. Wiki is a Hawaiian word meaning quick and -pedia from encyclopedia.

The VENONA project was a secret collaboration of intelligence agencies between the US and the UK. They specialized in decrypting/decoding secret messages sent by the Soviet Union(basically Russia) for the US and UK feared of an alliance between them and Germany). This project was first started during WWII. There were minimally 13 code words that were used between the US and UK and VENONA was the last of them(it had no actual meaning). The project was terminated during 1980.
