Czech Republic And The Republic

When thinking of New York City, more often than not, the first things one visualizes is the beautiful skyline, the bright lights, and Times Square. But without a second glance, one might miss one of the important things about the city. New York is the most heavily Dominican populated city in the United States. It’s ironic that the first non-native American to migrate to and reside on what is today New York City, was from Santo Domingo, the capital city of the Dominican Republic. Throughout history, Dominicans have migrated to the US in search of economic opportunity. This is the factor that influences nearly every immigrant group that migrates to the US in history. In the early 1900s, The United States and the Dominican Republic had a very close diplomatic relationship, to the point where the President considered annexation. At one point, the United States completely controlled the Sugar industry, one of the country’s most profitable markets.

First, before the Second World War, the nation of Czechoslovakia had been a strong democracy in Central Europe, but beginning in the mid 1930s it faced challenges from both the West and the East. Until the Soviet’s invasion where they installed a whole new communist government in Prague. For the next twenty

The United States and Communist Russia endured a complicated relationship in the first half of the 20th century. In the early 1940’s the U.S. had encouraged an alliance with the Soviets against their common enemy, Nazi Germany. This short-lived accord began to deteriorate as WW II ended. By 1947 U.S. policy toward the Soviet Union had shifted from one of cooperation to a policy of containment. In 1949, when the Soviets tested their first atomic bomb, it was a widely-held belief in the U.S. that the Russians were an untrustworthy enemy with plans to invade the United States. America’s mood turned on American Communists, labeling them traitors and Russian spies. Underlying a domestic sense of well-being in the United States in the 1950’s

I have always been interested in the beautiful culture and people of Czech Republic which is why I chose to research it.

Due to the onset of the Cold War and the early 1960s, the popular and political climate in the United States changed. The relationship between the Soviet Union and the United States was directed by ideological, political and technological factors. The rivalry between the two powers rooted from their contrasting ideological principles since the United States was a democratic republic where the people believed that every citizen had equal representation in the government and the Soviet Union was a communist nation. The US embodied the principles of a democratic nation believing in the ideals of "life, liberty and pursuit of happiness" as well as having an economy that was based on capitalism. In contrast to the ideology of the US, the Soviet Union fell under communist rule during the Russian Revolution of 1917, which was based on the idea that all assets should be owned by the government and then divided among the citizens of the nation. The Soviet Union took communism a step further as the many of the leaders were totalitarian during the 20th century, meaning that "all power was in the hands of the ruler". In 1946, Churchill declared the separation between the east and west by saying that an iron curtain had descended through the middle of Europe (Churchill Delivers Iron Curtain Speech 1). Even though the Soviets and the US fought together in WWII, the eastern communistic ideology had clashed with western democratic principles. Furthermore, the two powers were in a nuclear

Imagine yourself as a businessperson on a trip to the island of Hispaniola to check on how production is faring. You land in Santo Domingo to transfer to a short commuter flight to Port-au-Prince. During the flight, you gaze outside your window to admire the breathtaking view of the Sierra de Baoruco, with its luscious forests. As the plane approaches the Haiti-Dominican Republic border, you notice that the land has been completely denuded of trees directly on the other side of the border, creating a clear demarcation between Haiti and the Dominican Republic.

In North America their three different countries. The two with the most relations is Canada and The United States. With having expansive lands both share a very long border. By all accounts both have rich a history with each other and are very similar life style. When a Canadian or an American travels around the world they will get mistaken for the other. But that’s when the not real a good representation of for both countries. Even thou very similar in nature, Canada and The United States have part that make both countries very different. In reference to different in density to population, religious beliefs and their countries recognizing of languages. Canada and The United at face value seem to be twin brothers, but that is not the final case in the matter.

Here’s the question, how dose China relate to the world. We all know when Mao said that China as stood up. He meant that China was ready to meet with the world community. So how did Mao and China relate with countries such as Soviet Union, Vietnam, Taiwan and the United States. How did Mao and China approached and reapproached the United States and the world. So after china said it stood up, it started great relationship with the United States and the Soviet Union. Then it all started to deteriorated in the 1960’s and relations between China and the United states soured. It even soured worse with the Soviet Union, which caused the Sino/Soviet split. Which is why China had a shaky start in relations with the United States and the Soviet Union. To this day, China as an on/off relationship with the United States.

Unlike the Hungarians, the Prague Spring was not a nationalist movement within the country, but an attempt to reform communism within the country under the leadership of Alexander Dubcek. Dubcek was explicit about remaining loyal to the Soviets instead of creating an independent nation. Following of the death of Stalin, the leader Antonin Novotny did not follow the trend of the Soviet thaw, but continued to implement the policies of the Stalin Era. Novotny’s strict rule on the civilian lives of the Czechoslovak people caused much unrest within Czechoslovakia. Economic downturn caused starvation within Czechoslovakia and citizens felt that the Soviets were exploiting the country’s resources and impeding on the

The French was in war against Vietnam already fighting to maintain control of the country and to regain national pride after being conquered them self’s in world war.(pg. 409)

The United States has various relationships with the world, some more complicated than others. One thing this nation has that is better than most countries is the fact that we are a very culturally diverse society, which can be beneficial. In relation to others, the U.S. is different from other nations by our diverse cultures, religions and just like many others, we have issues we come face to every day. Americans deal with diversity as they work closely with other cultures by putting their differences aside to achieve something. We have a society that is based more along a judeo christian mentality and structure versus more of other predominent religious beliefs.

Communism in East-Central countries has tried to weaken religiosity. Religious repression and harassment under the Communist authorities have been greatly affecting people beliefs. The Roman Catholic Church was another dividing point of Czechoslovakia, between two republics. Slovakians advocated closer connection to religion than Czechs did. However, the story goes back in the history of 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries, when there have been major revolutionary wars fighting for religion that formed foundations of both republics that affected later on the dissolution of Czechoslovakia. The fall of Communism regime, once more affirmed and exposed both republics’ religious identities. Czechs identified themselves less likely as religious than Slovaks, where majority-more than half disclosed themselves as religious. Both Czech Republic and Slovakia have been marked with many nationalistic and religious movements, Czech Republic adopting Protestantism and Slovaks following Catholicism. The differences in religion have influenced the dissolution of Czechoslovakia in 1993.

The current Czech Republic as we know it, was established in January of 1993 when Czechoslovakia split into two independent countries. The peaceful separation created the Czech Republic and an independent Slovakia. The history the Czech Republic, Slovakia and the once Czechoslovakia is rich and full of turmoil.

The events that eventually led to the successful revolution in 1989 got their start in the “Prague Spring” in 1968. There was a brief period of political reform in Czechoslovakia in 1968, when Alexander Dubcek was elected to be the First Secretary of Communist Party of Czechoslovakia. Many of Dubcek’s reforms were trying to give more rights to the citizens as well as relaxing government censorship.

The Czech Republic faced extreme droughts in 2015. The Czech Republic gains 95 percent of water from atmospheric precipitation which quickly flows away. It ranks it among the EU 's
