In the early years of the republic, endeavours by tradesmen to make better conditions by declining to work and to attempt to keep others from living up to expectations were viewed as criminal offenses.

The Cold war which was a term coined by Walter Lippman lasted from 1947 to 1991. After the World War II, the world was divided into two: the ‘liberated’ West and the socialist East. The two world powers headed by the United States of America and the USSR used media, literature, and entertainment to antagonize each other. It was a psychological warfare that aimed at winning the hearts and minds of people. Lippman coined the term cold war because of the lack of direct military war between the two powers. In the propaganda warfare, it distorted information gathered in the ...

In the following essay, I would like to compare the coverage of Harlem race riot of March 1935 presented by two newspapers – New York Age –one of the most influential African-American newspapers published from 1887 to 1955 and Brooklyn Eagle, a daily newspaper published from 1841 to 1955.
At the time of the riots, there were a lot of speculations about the exact circumstances which incited the riot. The whole incident started off with the ungrounded rumor that the 16 year old Black, Puerto Rican boy had been beaten to death due to his alleged attempt to steal candy from a ...

Fascism and communism are two ideologies that presented the idea of reaching utopia.

The Cold war is not perceived to have presented a real threat to the United States of America. It is just depicted to be propaganda between two rival super powers, the United States and the then Soviet Union. These two powers were constantly in the war of words over who was powerful at the time. The Cold war prevailed over a long duration and was fought in various battles such as the Vietnamese war with both the two countries taking sides. This, with the Korean War are considered to be the only battles fought between the two countries. This is inadequate ...

In 1947, George F. Kennan, an analyst with the State Department, wrote an essay about the Soviet Union that took fear of this new country into the basis for American foreign policy. The Soviet Union had only existed as a country since 1919, as the Communist Revolution took the old tsarist regime down at the end of World War I. The struggle for leadership was a bloody one, as the idealistic visions of Lenin and Trotsky fell to the greedily pragmatic ones of Stalin. The fact that Stalin allied himself with both Hitler and, later, the Allies, was a sign that he ...

Capitalism and communism are systems of government that have been used by various nations. These systems of government both have their positive and negative implication depending on how they are applied. It is also all about the attitude that the people have towards it and the circumstances that lead to its formation. Just like any system of government, the countries that have exercised it have received both positive and negative critics from internal and external forces. They are both considered selfish forms of socialization considering the fact that only a few people benefit from them. Capitalism is s system whereby ...

“On the principle of infallibility there rests the iron discipline of the Communist Party. In fact, the two concepts are mutually self-supporting. Perfect discipline requires recognition of infallibility.”
- George Kennan, “The Sources of Soviet Conduct”
George Kennan wrote these prophetic words in 1946 as part of the famous “Long Telegram,” a document that was made public in 1947 by Foreign Affairs magazine. Kennan’s treatise on the Soviet Union, the nature of Communism and the expected physical manifestations of that nature became the most impactful work on what would become the Cold War and the courses of ...

Communism has catalyzed numerous wars in the history of the world with the Vietnam War being an explicit example. At the end of 1955, a cold war era was brewing due to the differences between the North and South Vietnam. North Vietnam was communist and South Vietnam, anti-communist. The People’s Republic of China supported the northerners and the Southern Vietnam got their main support from The United States (Pious 85). The United States involvement was an attempt on their part to prevent the invasion of communism to South Vietnam. This is because they had a wider strategy of a non-communist country. ...

The Soviets, on their side, disliked the Americans’ many years’ refusal to regard the USSR as a lawful international community’s component as well as their held up entry into the Second World War that led to killing ...

Abstract

Democratic Kampuchea was one of the most violent regimes to ever rule. During the course of their rule, they were responsible for the death of more than two million individuals; as a proportion of the nation’s size, this is an incredibly large number. The deaths were the result of a nearly fundamentalist adherence to the philosophies espoused in The Communist Manifesto, and were incredibly damaging to the nation in both the long term and the short term.
The years following the second world war were a tumultuous time for the world as a whole. The world knew that to have another ...

Paranoia is deeply entwined with the human psyche, and parallels can be seen across generations. This is made extremely clear with Arthur Miller’s play The Crucible, written in 1953, which parallels the communist-hunting era, so characterized by Wisconsin senator Joseph McCarthy and his incessant search for communists, against the backdrop of the Salem Witch trials. There are indeed many parallels which can be made.
In both the anti-communist atmosphere of the Cold War and the paranoia of ultra-religious Salem in 1692, there was an element of “the enemy is among us”. It was, to an extent, taken ...

Both Karl Marx and Max Weber are studied as two of the most interesting and valuable contributors to the field of sociology in their lifetimes. Both of them had strong, philosophical beliefs about what they felt was right and wrong for society as a whole. Both men felt that society would benefit from a capitalistic society ending and a socialist society replacing it in terms of government and economy. But, these two men had very different views as to the reasons behind the changes and how the changes should be instituted.

Karl Marx, the father of communism, had strong convictions of labor and its ...

The decision that was made for engagement in a war between Korea and Vietnam can be attributed to Domino Theory. This was found in the doctrine of Truman Doctrine, which was found in MacNamara’s theory, often referred to as Domino Theory. It has been argued that, Americans were the losers, in Vietnamese war. Given the way the direction the war took, this statement could be true. On the other hand, one wonders if a large country like the US could lose such a fight. These are two opposing arguments that have been maintained by historians. In all these, the Americans did ...

The decision that was made for engagement in a war between Korea and Vietnam can be attributed to Domino Theory. This was found in the doctrine of Truman Doctrine, doctrine which was found in MacNamara’s theory, often referred to as Domino Theory.

Abstract:

Communism has been a sworn enemy to many fascist regimes, especially Hitler's, Mussolini's and Franco's despite many arguing that they are somewhat related to each other. From the word "communisme", communism advocates for equal class structure and control over the problem of poverty. Meanwhile, fascism came from the word "fascio" and advocates the creation of a nation that runs similar to a corporate setup. However, their belief regarding the state eliminates all form of similarity: communism denies the state while fascism bows to the state as its supreme entity. There is also the case of their political spectrum as fascism incorporates both ...

Elusive Objectivity: Historical Interpretation and the Reality of Sino-Tibetan Relations

Many of the various histories written about the tumultuous relationship between China and Tibet offer polarized accounts of an international controversy that has come to define the struggle for ethnic identity and political autonomy. Indeed, it is a conflict fought as much in the media and the international consciousness of the global community as it has been contested on the battlefield and behind closed doors between charismatic political leaders like the Dalai Lama and Mao Zedong. The historians and authors who have chronicled a struggle that spanned the 20th century have, in general, seen the matter in terms of Tibetan sovereignty ...

Russian and Cuban Communism

Communism is a political and social movement that aims for a classless state where the means of production is owned jointly by the society. The government is the overall owner of the means of production and ensures the masses share in the distribution of wealth. The communist movement has been prevalent in countries like the USSR. The application varies though in various countries. Russian Communism is better than Cuban Communism because limited political pluralism exists in Russia. The political pluralism though limited in Russia can lead to further reforms in the future where the people will elect the political party that ...

Until the advent of the 20th century, China was a rural society composed of an agrarian economy with very little experience of the urban. This state of affairs however elevated the country into a collective socialist imaginative mirage of a Utopian system.

Introduction

The history of the Chinese women can be categorized into two parts: before the twentieth century and the modern period of liberation. The Chinese society also consisted of two groups: those that were oppressed and those that were oppressive. Traditionally, Chinese women were regarded as incompetent and weak. However, they were just victims of a patriarchal system, and for that reason, they were occasionally oppressed by men. For instance, the old women were regarded as parasites. Because of these challenges, the communist government aimed at liberating the Chinese women from the yoke of feudalism, especially Post the twentieth century.

Communism The communist government is a political and socioeconomic entity that is founded on the principles of common ownership of production, and the non-existence of social classes. The ideologies behind the communist government are also based on the theories of Karl Marx, Frederick Engels and Vladimir Lenin. These theories have in common the debunking of the relationship between the capitalists and the laborers in a society, and thus the state should own all the means of production such that there ought to be an equitable distribution of the fruits of production among all the members of society. Thus the ...

Foreign relations or a country’s relationship with the countries in the regional and international community is one of the most important aspects of administrating a government. Meaning to say, a country with deep pockets does not necessarily mean a rich and prosperous country. The key in leading a country towards prosperity is balance, and it has been proven in past literatures that that balance can be easily achieved through trade. Trade has been an ongoing process which can date us back to as early as the first few centuries of mankind’s existence, at a time when people heavily relied on the commodities being ...
