Chapter 21+Documents
Chapter twenty one talks about the rise and the fall of world communism and the main points to focus on are revolution socialism and global conflict. This time period began in 1917 and continues to the present time. Global communism began with the Russian revolution and had a conclusion at the disintegration of the soviet union. The first thing we cover is the russian revolution and then we learn about the revolutions in china and building socialism. Then we hear about communist feminism as well as socialism in the country. Then came the industrial development and search for enemies as well as the global divide which lead to the cold war. There was major military conflict in the cold war and nuclear standoffs as well as third world rivalry. The cold war started many alliances and superpowers as well as an end to communism. China ended up abandoning communism when they viewed the soviet union collapse from communism. This teaches us how to reflect on the differences between judging and not judging one another's governments. The document i chose to reflect on was stalin on stalinism this talks about stalinism and explains how everything was ruled by higher party officials and how stalin created a five year plan to gain complete control and brainwash people to do what he likes, this taught us to not give power to dictators and people who are not fit for the job. In doing so and picking good and honest party official by voting we keep the peace in the world.
