The Long March was a journey made by the Communist party of China during the years of 1934-1935. The journey was over 9000 km and it included going across the Snowy Mountains of China. The reason the Communist Party traveled so far was to evade the Chinese Nationalist Party which Chiang Kai-shek presided over at the time. Mao Zedong was part of the Communist Party that fled and they survived not only the journey, but also from the Nationalists. I believe that this is the most important ID for anyone to understand because if the Communist Party did not survive this time, then China would be a completely different nation than what …show more content…

The Korean War was a battle of whose government would come out on top. After the annexation of Japan, Korea was split into two areas. North Korea was under the influence of China with the help of Russia. North Korea was involved with two Communist nations and as a result they were devoted to having a Communist government. On the other hand, South Korea was under the influence of the United States. At this time Communism and the United States with the help of the UN did not mesh well together, especially in one country. The war was mostly a standstill with nothing much happening on either side with pushing back and forth across the 38th parallel where many of the battles took place and casualties as well. “In the North the estimated killed, wounded, and missing totaled 15 million…In the South the toll was estimated at 1.3 million (East Asia, pg.375).” When the war ended, South Korea especially hit a bottom with their economy and it was not until the Vietnam War where the U.S. helped out again. “But in the end, economic isolation became an obstacle and to industrial growth as the country (the North) was closed to more highly developed economies (The U.S.) (East Asia, pg.381).” This showed that South Korea was still able to grow because of their connections with the United States compared to that of North Korea. Then, during the Vietnam War, the United States deployed Korean troops and gave South Korea money which finally allowed for the South Korean government to modernize and industrialize. This was the biggest jump for Korea in becoming a modern nation and was assisted by the United States and the Vietnam

    As the Reconstruction Era ended, the United States became the up and coming world power. The Spanish-American war was in full swing, and the First World War was well on its way. As a result of the open-door policy, England, Germany, France, Russia, and eventually Japan experienced rapid industrial growth; the United States decided to pursue a foreign policy because of both self- interest and idealism. According to the documents, Economic self- interest, rather than idealism was more significant in driving American foreign policy from 1895 to 1920 because the United States wanted to protect their foreign trade, property and their access to recourses. While the documents also show that Nationalistic thought (idealism) was also crucial in driving American foreign policy, economic Self- interest prevailed.

  • Chinese Peasants and Communism

    The Communist revolution in China was loosely based on the revolution in Russia. Russia was able to implement the beginnings of Marxist Communism in the way that it was intended They had a large working class of factory workers, known as the proletariat, that were able to band together and rise up to overthrow the groups of rich property owners, known as the bourgeoisie. The communist party wanted to adopted this same Marxist sense of revolution, but they realized that there were some fatal flaws in the differences between the two countries. The first was that there was not the same sense of class difference between people, yes there were peasants and landowners but there was not a sense of a class struggle. The other difference was that China was not industrialized like Russia so there was no proletariat group, as defined by Marxism, to draw the revolution from. What the Chinese Communists needed to do is re-define the proletariat for their situation, who they looked at were the peasants.

    The Korean War changed the face of American Cold War diplomacy forever. In the midst of all the political conflict and speculation worldwide, the nation had to choose between two proposed solutions, each one hoping to ensure that communism didn?t sweep across the globe and destroy American ideals of capitalism and democracy. General Douglas MacArthur takes the pro-active stance and says that, assuming it has the capability, the U.S. should attack communism everywhere. President Harry Truman, on the other hand, believed that containing the Soviet communists from Western Europe was the best and most important course of action, and that eliminating communism in Asia was not a priority.

    In the colonization period, the urge to conquer foreign territories was strong, and many lands in the Western Hemisphere were conquered. With the colonization of these areas, a mercantilist relationship was formed between the conquered civilization and the maternal country. A major part of this was the restriction of exportation of native resources only to the mother country as well as the banning of trading with colonies of other countries. In turn, there was an increasing in the number of smuggling activities during the time. According to a British sailor named William Taggart in 1760, the illegal smuggling of goods into these areas had a positive impact because it brought prosperity to the people in Monte Christi, as there were only one hundred poor families. Likewise, Dominica governor John Orde praised the trading because it created prices much lower than with its maternal country. However, British admiral David Tyrell, Roger Elletson, Dominica governor John Orde, and a 1790 Bahaman newspaper report all had similar views on the harmful effects and corruptness present in smuggling. Despite this, physician George Lipscomb and British Lieutenant Governor Thomas Bruce had neutral opinions on the matter, and only stated what they witnessed in the process.

    Throughout Europe in the fifteenth, sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries, nations were filled with poor and less fortunate individuals. While the nobles of countries such as France and England ruled their lands, many forgot about the underprivileged that roamed the city streets begging for alms. As a result, the opinions towards these lower class people were very differentiated. However, three main opinions stood out. All in all, the views of the poor in fifteenth – eighteenth century Europe included those who believed individuals should help the poor because it is the right thing to do, those who believed individuals should help the poor for God, and those who believed the poor were just idlers

  • Cultural Revolution Essay

    Chinese Revolution is about making the entire country into Communists and killing each and one the people who hates Mao Tse-Tung. Mao Tse-Tung is the leader of China at this time who believes in equality and everyone should have the same rights. The Red Guards is a military group in which includes a group of children that eliminates the Chinese population due to hatred for Mao. If any of these events happen to our generation, most youth are smart enough to know that Mao is a bad leader and killing innocent people by the case of bitterness for Mao is wrong. The Chinese youth got swept up in the Cultural Revolution by Mao because the youth were easy to persuade into doing something. To expand this idea further, the Chinese youth weren’t old enough, not on this specific age, to realize whether Mao’s actions were virtuous or inaccurate. On the other hand, they thought that working for Mao and joining the Red Guards will help their country out, but they never knew the truth behind Mao’s plans. The truth about the Cultural Revolution was to kill anybody that gets in the way of Mao’s plans and destroying all the old buildings so that it would be replaced with new buildings or reconstruct the old buildings to become brand new again. In addition, the Chinese youth had no idea that joining the Red Guards will give a highly chance of getting killed. In other words, the adults were smarter than the youth because joining the Red Guards means the opposite of helping the country out. Mao just made them think that joining will help their country, even though it was the other way around like someone apologizing to their neighbor in which manipulating their minds that they’re now cool, but they were still rude to them afterwards. To repeat this, t...

    When World War II ended and Japan lost control over Korea, the country split politically. The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, USSR, now occupied the area north of the 38th parallel, while the United States occupied the area south. This split led to the founding of the Republic of Korea in the South, and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea in the North. With unresolved strains of being a divided nation and global tensions present because of the Cold War, the Korean War broke out between the North and the South. The border was never meant to be permanent because both governments considered themselves to be the legitimate government of Korea, with hopes of one day unifying Korea into one again.
