Controversies And Continuities Between 1950 And 1950-1980

World War II had just ended. Women that were working because their husbands were out fighting in the war came back home when the war ended. The 1940’s ended and it was time for a new decade. The 1950’s were looked as a state of mind or a way of living instead of another time in American history. The 1950’s were the most influential decade in American history because the civil rights act began, fashion was completely new and trendy there were more much advancement in entertainment and medicine, and suburban life was much more functional than any other decade in America.

I consider these notes as a part of achievement not only because I received a good grade on them but because I worked hard. For anyone who has taken an AP History class, it consists of a lot of work and memorizing. It's homework that takes up to four hours or more. The AP final exam has an 11% passing rate nation wide. Taking notes weekly and for a long time has taught me some new skills on how to be a better note taker. I myself have noticed how much my note taking skills have improved.

The 1920's and 1980's are similar in many ways. Their similarities are social, economical, and political. Some of the similarities between the decades are Prohibition and the War on Drugs, the Stock Market Crash of 1929 and 1987, and the influence of music on society.

Out of some of the most turbulent times in history have come the greatest ages of success and prosperity. The 1920’s and 1950’s are two eras that exemplify the spirit of triumph and wealth. In both decades, a nation thrilled by the victorious conclusion of war and the return of their loved ones from war entered into an age of capitalism and materialism, bolstering the economy and with it national pride. Some of features most common to the 20’s and 50’s were consumerism and the accompanying optimistic mindset, the extent to which new ideas entered society, and discrimination in terms of both sexism and racism.

ander Gerschenkron and his ideas have had, like excellent wine, a remarkable maturing in recent years. Rare is the sophisticated course in political economy that does not assign his model of relative backwardness as a required reading. Rarer still is the doctoral student in economic history who remains uninfluenced by his beguiling hypotheses about the process of historical change within Europe since the Industrial Revolution.

To decrease poverty in the country Ataturk granted lands to the farmers by implementing land reforms. This turned out to be very beneficial for the poor farmers which exempted them paying taxes hence improving their financial conditions. Ataturk improved foreign exchange by developing good relations with neighboring countries. He also boosted the industrial strength of the country which, in turn, made its rather significant contribution to Turkey’s foreign exchange. A major change was the establishment of banking systems in Turkey which contributed greatly in improving the general economy. Ataturk also improved the telecommunications and transport networks which also boosted the economy. Therefore, we understand that to effectively modernize a country it is imperative to establish and implement certain reforms. Ataturk has proven to be a very powerful and effective leader. His reforms lead the Turkish people into a new age. It cannot, however, be said that there was constant smooth sailing. Ataturk’s reforms were rejected by a certain segment as well due to their imposing a sudden change. However, gradually, due to the improving conditions of the country people highly supported Ataturk and to this day he is held in high regard not only in Turkey, but internationally as

When most people think of the 1950’s or 1960’s, they think of Elvis, Greasers, jukeboxes, Woodstock, and rainbow peace signs and hippie love. Although these symbols are somewhat accurate (and very popular), not many people think about the changes society and culture went through. The 1950’s and 60’s were a time of great change and freedom for many Americans. Everything from World War II, to the gay liberation movement, to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 helped to change society. Many of the views American’s had on topics such as war, gender roles and sexual preference were changed greatly after these events and have led to our culture being what it is today. The 1950’s and 1960’s were a time where great changes took place that helped to

Historians tend to portray the 1950’s as a decade of prosperity, conformity, and consensus, and the 1960’s as a decade of turbulence, protest, and disillusionment. Do you agree or disagree with this view? Show evidence to support your argument.

During the 1950s and 1960s, Europe experienced a period of prosperity. Harold Macmillan gives a sense of just how well these times really were when he says, “Let us be frank about it: most of our people have never had it so good,” (Judt, 324). As political parties moved more towards a common center, rather than towards extremism, a rebirth of democracy was created, underlined by growth and full employment. The support for social democratic ideas flourished along with the prosperity of the 1950s and the 1960s in Western Europe. This time was characterized by conservative individualism and economic growth through regulated capitalism (Mazower, 327). With the help of the Marshall Plan, a global

Turkey’s foreign policy crisis behavior and management can be explained within neoclassical realism framework while looking at different international system or different government period in the same international system. At the same time even though regional agenda is different from systemic one, neoclassical realism can present a behavior model with intervening variables.

The 1950s and the 1960s had many similarities, though they had many differences as well. Their similarities and differences include: the politics, the economy, the society, and the culture of both decades. In the 1950s, North Korea moved into South Korea and began a civil war between the two parallel countries. The reason for this dispute was the border lines as well as guerrilla fighting in the South, which created a greater tension on the issue. The reason why the U.S entered the Korean War was so that the Soviet Union would not gain another nation and, in turn, more power. Like the 50s, our country was also at war with another country in the 60s. This time, the U.S was at war with Vietnam. The U.S entered the war because the

Korean industrial production rose forty-five-fold between 1960 and 1984, whereas Turkish industrial production was 6.6 times higher in the same period. (Yilmaz)

Poland presents us with a textbook example of the modernisation story. Following the Second World War, Poland was rapidly reconstructed and hugely invested in by the USSR, resulting in Poland’s GDP per capita reaching over $2,000 USD by 1989 and the elimination of illiteracy by 1978 . Poland had by 1980 reached an advanced standard of development demonstrated by its mid to higher level HDI (Human Development Index) of 0.687 . This aggregate of life expectancy, education, and income indices provides us with a clear image of a Poland that was modernising and moving towards a more favourable climate for democratisation. There were of course problems with the Polish economy. By the mid-1970s government policy had produced a depression that saw food prices, particularly meat, rise by over 60%, whilst real wages remained stagnant, and the economy shrank for the first time since 1945. Education also suffered, and as with many elements of policy in Eastern Bloc states, had by the late 1970s “lost its coherence” , with a clear lack of direction in central planning. These issues catalysed the campaign for democratisation. Strong state ownership and the planned economy were no longer

the most thrust of the 1948 Industrial Policy was to get the muse of a economy wherever each the personal and public enterprises were to be importance and work along to develop economy to accelerate the pace of commercial development. the commercial Policy of 1948, despite terribly effective and concrete, wasn't while not criticism.

Export subsidies were reinstated and augmented. Import policy became increasingly restrictive and complex. This was due to various shocks which the economy
