15. Strategy Five – Separating Communist Guerillas from the General Population. The CG’s had gained support from the Chinese squatters who lived near the jungle areas and manipulated the children to help them by gathering and supplying information and acting as couriers. This network was known as the Min Yuen and was a valuable asset to the guerillas. A strategy to isolate the squatters from the Min Yuen and the CG’s was essential to restrict the CG ability to operate, remove food sources and to weaken the resolve of the CG’s by removing their support base.
a. The British objective was to isolate the people from the CG’s and reduce the support the CG’s received so they could not challenge the government. Over time, this very direct approach
By the early twentieth century the Liberal Government was worried that Britain’s military capability and general military power was not as strong and it once was. Therefore, the Government’s concern over national security definitely influenced the decision for the reforms. However, there are three main factors that also need to be taken into account when deciding if concern over national security was the real reason for the reforms: the Social reasons, concerns for Britain’s Empire and the Political motive. The Social reasons played a large part in persuading the Liberals to reform. The detailed reports of Booth and Rowntree, and the evidence which was brought to light, highlighted that nearly a 1/3 of Britain’s population lived in
This act was put in place as an example not to go against British rule but had the negative affect. This act angered them so much that it
The battle of Chipyong-ni took place from 13-15 February 1951, in the small road hub and railway town of the same name1. The 8th Army Commander, General Ridgeway, determined that it was a key location to keep the Chinese from moving farther south to stabilize the UN front2. COL Paul Freeman, who would later become a four-star general, commanded the 23rd Infantry Regiment3. The unit recently won the battle of Twin Tunnels several miles south. “Freeman’s mission was to deny the enemy the use of the road net and hold the area” of Chipyong-ni4. Over the course of three long nights the Soldiers of the 23rd infantry regiment held back an overwhelming Chinese force, estimates from after the battle believe that there were six Chinese Communist Force (CCF) Divisions5.
Today in time guerrilla warfare is used by one of the strongest armies of the world. These tactics were used even back during the revolutionary war. In the movie the Patriot, this movie portrays the fight during the revolutionary war and the battles and the horror they faced. The battlegrounds used in the war were a person's backyard. This new idea of guerilla warfare brought to the war was unconventional and efficient. There were small militias taking out countless redcoats. Although it wasn't the traditional form of fighting it worked. In the movie, the militia was led by Benjamin Martin. General Martin and his militias tactics were honorable.
The people believed that they should not house soldiers because they believed that their property is private. The government thought that soldiers should be given a safe home under their own citizens expense. They government in Britain usually won under the people's thoughts, comments and actions.
A small country such as North Vietnam was able to win a war against a superpower like the United States of America, through, namely, tactics – such as Guerrilla Warfare -, the ignorance of their enemy, the attitude of the South Vietnamese, as well as a strong leader such as Ho Chi Minh. The Vietnam War was a major conflict (of the Cold War) which lasted from 1959 to 1975 , with US involvement from 1964 to 1973 . US reasons for their involvement in the war was their fear of “The Domino Effect” - or – the US fear that communism would spread to Vietnam and Southeast Asia, making them a major threat to national security. The Fall of Saigon marked the end of the war in 1975.
There are several important functions that Parliament must perform. The word Parliament derived from the Latin ‘parliamentum’ and the French word ‘parler’ which originally meant a talk- which is what Parliament does most of the time. Parliament consists of the House of Commons, the House of Lords and the Monarchy. Parliament is the highest judicial, legislative and executive body in Britain. A parliamentary form of government acknowledges that it derives its power directly from the consent of the people. This sort of system ensures democracy and an active interaction between the people and their representatives. The three functions that I am going to focus on are Scrutiny,
O’Leary’s defines “guerrilla government” as the actions of career public servants who work against the wishes---either implicitly or explicitly communicated---of their superiors (O’Leary, 2014, pg. ).
Located in Southeast Asia between Thailand and Vietnam, Cambodia was home to one of the bloodiest political regimes to exist in the 20th century. In a country, in which American government reports in 1959 documented, was full of “ ‘docile and passive people…[who] could not be counted on to act in any positive way for the benefit of US aims and policies’”, the United States conflict in neighboring Vietnam brought about incredible changes to an unsuspecting people (qted. in Dunlop 70). The countryside was bombed by the United States in order to uproot suspected North Vietnamese holdouts and supply routes starting in 1969. These bombing raids, which devastated
Mao Zedong leader of the (CDC) advocated guerrilla fighting which he said is “a powerful special weapon with which we resist the Japanese and without which we cannot defeat them. And it can only succeed if employed by revolutionaries because it is a political and military style. guerrilla warfare is a way for the Chinese to expel an intruder that has more arms, equipment, and troops. Where the industrial nations stressed such tangible military factors such as arms, logistics and manpower; Mao focused on the intangibles which are time, space and will. Not being able to fight a well- equipped army in the field, Mao avoided battles by giving territory to the
Why are people against Communist? J. Edgar Hoover, Sidney Hook, and William O. Douglas have written articles about their opinion relating to Communist expanding throughout our Nation. Communism is a social organization based on the ownership controlled all economic and social activities. J. Edgar Hoover, Sidney Hook, and William O.

Health inequality is one of the social inequalities that may cost the lives of people unless backed by corrective policies. Universal health care is one of those tools by which we correct disparities in health care utilization and insure the health of the fellow citizens. World health Organization (WHO) defined Universal health care, also universal health coverage as “a specific type of health care coverage of all people regardless of their income, age, race pre-existing illness, gender or wealth”. In other terms, it is ensuring health care utilization of all legal residents (World Health Organization, 2013).
Austria is 69th in rank of global terrorism; the lower the rank, the higher impact from terrorism. With the lowest, Poland and Slovakia both have had no terrorist incidents. The CCC is known as the Communist Combatant Cells, they are a terrorist organization with communist ideals that was only active for around two years. This organization focused on bombings on capitalist property and assets rather than the destruction of people. During only 2 years, they had 20 successful attacks. Their group was thankfully shut down when their leader Pierre Carette was arrested and convicted of murder. Germany has an extensive history of terrorism since the end of the First World War. Denmark has had 36 events listed on the Global terrorist attacks.
True love can conquer all. Ernest Sandeen writes The Scarlet Letter as a Love Story to give insight that Nathaniel Hawthorne’s novel, The Scarlet Letter, is indeed all about love. Characters and symbols both show the love evident in the novel. The Scarlet Letter is always bluntly read as a story of shame. However it may be more complex than that. Most readers view The Scarlet Letter as a novel about sin, but it is more of a story of love shown by the significance of the “A”, love being the force and theme, and Hester Prynne’s thoughts on approval. 5
“The hearts and mind (HAM) theory is identified as winning the hearts and minds of the population which is a technique based on the implementation of the counter-insurgency (COIN) strategy of persuading the population to support the government and reject the insurgents.” The counter-insurgency (COIN) strategy as outlined by President Obama and General Petraeus’s most closely embrace is the heart and minds (HAM) theory. President Obama speech identified the United States strategic approach with Afghanistan in three elements. The three core elements addressed by President Obama during his speech on the strategy in Afghanistan are identified as: 1) utilize the military effort to create conditions for transition, 2) a civilian surge that
