." (Watson,1998, p 16) This revolt against the communist regime was a strong indicator of the hidden revolt and inner turmoil that lay within the Soviet Union
The collapse of the Soviet Union was a complex event with no clearly identifiable single cause." (Wilcoxson, 2004
A the Soviet Union "became" inefficient and collapsed when it attempted to integrate itself into a world system that was passing from its modernizing to its postmodern stage, a system that by its new rules of operation was therefore running at an incomparably higher rate of "productivity" than anything inside the Soviet sphere. (Young, 1996, p
On May 29, 1953, John Roy Carlson commented on McCarthy's retirement and said, "I am surprised to read those who believe that the retirement of Senator McCarthy will alter the political picture. His retirement will no more diminish the degree of national hysteria than the death of Stalin diminished the threat of Communist aggression" (Carlson, 1953)
It led to an atmosphere of terror, and this atmosphere of terror was encouraged by the government. In 1949, Josephine Ripley wrote an article describing the role of civilian defense in protecting the nation, describing "a blueprint for nationwide civilian mobilization against an Abomb attack [that] was laid before the country in the form of a chunky, 300-page report representing a nine months' study by the nation's foremost technical experts" (Ripley, 1949)
According to Strout, "Some of the difficulty of getting to the bottom of charges by Senator Joseph R. McCarthy (R) of Wisconsin that the State Department is infiltrated by Communists is illustrated in trying to pin down just what the charges are" (Strout, 1950)
For example, Yuan-tsung Chen discusses an episode wherein peasants were suffering terrible hunger and the party ordered the landlords to redistribute food to some of the poor people. "Shen told us we should thank Chairman Mao for that" (Chen 273)
In order to survive and indeed to thrive in this community, everyone had to give up their personal freedoms and become a part of the unquestioning masses so desired by Chairman Mao and his numerous cohorts in the Chinese Communist Party. There was a "struggle between the two schools in order to maintain the balance between state interests and the participation of elite scholars in the imperial enterprise" (Elliott 124)
From the start, CCP officials determined to get the ordinary working class people on their side. He stated that the party would appeal to the common people "by entertaining first, and using forms that masses favor" (DeWoskin 212)
When I first met her, she told me and the others in my groups, "My name is Yan Sheng. Yen, as in discipline; Sheng, as in victory" (Min 53)
, while oppressive, contained many age-old rivalries that erupted in a conflagration of rage. [4: Oldrich Kyn, "Eastern Europe in Transition," from The Transition to a Market Economy (Cheltenham, UK)
This revolution resulted in a Provisional Government, but so many problems were left unsolved that Lenin's Bolshevik Party was able to wrest control and form a new government based on Marxist ideals. (Fitzpatrick, 2008)
(Fitzpatrick, 2008). In Italy, Benito Mussolini's brand of fascism emphasized imperialism, expansion of territory, and a more efficient form of governmental bureaucracy (the old adage, "Mussolini made the trains run on time") (Lee, 1999)
Part 2 -- Was World War II inevitable Many scholars see World War II as nothing but a continuation of World War I with some of the players shaken up a bit. This view holds that the issues of the First War were never resolved, just put on hold for monetary reasons, and then resurfaced once the priority became vaster than simply finding something to eat (Watt, 1989)
When men were finally able to get back to work thanks to the effort of Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the success of his New Deal programs, there were problems with labor and the way factory workers were being treated. Factory workers were often paid very little money and worked in dangerous conditions (Faragher 2009,-page 673)
Thousands of East Berliners - and then hundreds of thousands - surged into West Berlin. The fall of the Berlin Wall marked the end of communism in East Germany and, by the end of the year, in all of East Europe (Edwards, 2009)
He writes, "Television's celebrations of the fall of the Wall represent, like the celebrations triggered by the revolutions in Eastern Europe, and in Czechoslovakia and Romania in particular, a unique mixture of live broadcasting transmitting 'raw slices' of revolution in the making, and a well-tailored staging of 'media events' epitomized by the two concerts, one rock and one classical, which were broadcast worldwide. This blend of the 'raw' and the 'cooked' intensified the drama of the unfolding events by exploiting the advantages of both genres (Loshitzky, 1997)
And we know that the subsequent international crisis, which was especially intense during the summer and autumn of 1961, threatened the world with the risk of a military conflict, one that seemed as if it could escalate at any time into nuclear confrontation between the U.S. And the Soviet Union (Taylor, 2007)
Yet the shock of 1989 not only abruptly ended the cold war but also terminated the static confrontation of liberalism and socialism that had informed European political practices and theoretical debates since the late nineteenth century. Further complicating matters, many ideologically charged categories have lost their immediate utility with the collapse of the socialist regimes (Werz, 2001)
The government has taken notice of the fact that there are thousands of women who die in the country during the process of giving birth. According to the statistics, the maternal mortality rate of PNG has risen from 370 per 100,000 to 730 in the past decade (Curtin and Nelson, 1999)
