Mao Zedong and Nikita Khrushchev

* Mao was planning to invade Taiwan, and thus needed the support of the USSR. He was concerned that if he showed reluctance in joining the Korean War, Stalin might not willingly help Mao when invading Taiwan (Rogers and Thomas 52).

In China between the years 1925 to 1950 myriad changes were occurring. Chinese peasants and the Chinese Communist Party joined forces against Japan. During the time 1925 to 1950 in China, relationships between the Communist Party and the peasants grew through the defense against a common enemy, mutual support, and the establishment of equality.

Between circa 1925 and circa 1950, the relations between the Chinese peasants and the Chinese Communist Party became out of hand due to the peasant rebellions/uprising groups present, the tension between Japan and the communist party, and most notable the mass reform during this time period.

Mao Zedong has been credited as one of the most important figures during the Cold War, because he led many influential events and overall led China through the Cold War. He had many dreams and wishes for China, involving communism and changes for the better of the nation. He knew how to please his country and pinpoint different areas where China needed improvement, and carry out plans that would improve China as a whole. Mao Zedong was one of China’s most courageous and powerful leaders, and this was shown through his background of leadership in the Chinese Civil War and the Long March, and how he maintained his visions and aspirations for China.

Between the years of 1927 and 1949 in China two warring sides, China’s Communist Party and China’s Nationalist Party, clashed. Although the two parties had previously worked together in the United Front against Japan when Japan tried to invade, their temporary alliance was dropped as soon as the invasion was over. Halting only for a brief period when Japan attempted to invade a second time in 1936 to form the Second United Front, the two parties resumed fighting after the invasion was over in 1945, and only stopped hostilities when the Communist party drove out the Nationalist party to Taiwan and other islands. This war brought China into a new era under a communist government, the People’s Republic of China. Massive reform and change would

In foreign relations, trade had a marginal value and foreign investment both inwards and outwards were essentially absent. One of the greatest failures of Mao’s notable project ‘Great Leap Forward’ in 1958 turned out to be one of the greatest failures as it was intended to collectivize all agricultural, industrial and service life under people's communes and militias’ control . The first consequence of this measure was an economic autarky that led to one of the worst famines of the twentieth century. Developments in international policy pushed China towards a gradual isolation and growing conflicts. Eventually China's international political and economic relations degenerated and led to a serious military confrontation with its main ally, the Soviet Union and fighting a border war with India in the 60s. Isolation, political and economic, reaches its highest levels with the outbreak of the Cultural Revolution in 1966 until 1976 .

Our history and struggle has brought us to where we are now. We have been through a lot as a country to help make our nation the independent and free nation that it is today. We are where we are now because of the sacrifices that were made in the past. Many people fought and gave up their lives for the many rights that we are lucky to now have. We all owe them so much because without them, we would not be what we are today. Many people like Fredrick Douglas, W.E.B. Dubois, and John Brown fought for a cause that they thought was worth fighting for. No matter what it took, they kept their eye on the ball and fought for what was right. Now, I could sit here and tell you all the people who have helped shape America into the wonderful country that

Though Stalin was the main reason Russia is the strong country it is currently, countless people died. In fact, Stalin executed more people than Hitler killed, which is a horrific amount. China, like Russia, was not an advanced country in the least. The country was ruled by corrupt nationalists, who despised communists and killed them. This made China's change from a more nationalistic governing to a communist system very difficult and very bloody. Mao Zedong was a leader in the communist party during the civil war between nationalists and communists. He began as a strong and well-loved leader, quite opposite from Stalin. Mao Zedong would listen to others very well and try to understand their way of thinking, which made him a very successful and loved leader. But when the communist party took over China, he began to change into a hard-headed and less understanding man. Communism under Mao Zedong was beneficial for China. Mao Zedong pushed the citizens of China to be cooperative with each other and share all of their belongings. He also tried to gain the trust and love of all the lower class citizens by taking lands from the higher class citizens and giving them to lower class citizens. He killed many landlords, which the majority of Chinese love him. He was praised for his cruelty. So, in the end, Stalin and Mao Zedong became somewhat similar in their leadership, but Stalin was much more cruel.

Selbin identifies the most important part of a social revolution is the transformation of the society that is broken up into two parts consolidation and institutionalization of a country (Selbin 13). Augusto Pinochet and Fidel Castro both tried to succeed in these aspects, but both had success in areas but also failures in others. Their rise to power, reign and their political ideology separated them on a fundamental level, but they did have some similarities.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi and Ho Chi Minh are the leaders of national independent movements from late 19th to early 20th century. Both of them defeated the colonial rulers and won national independence. This paper will talk about the influences of ideas and circumstances, the goals that they wanted to get and the historical significance of their behaviors.

Assess the critical differences between the developmental strategies of Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping. To what extent was each successful in contributing to the economic and social development of china?

China and the Soviet Union relationship began to collapse after the death of Stalin. After their infamous leader passing, China became skeptical of the Soviet Union for three reasons. First, Khrushchev gave a speech talking about the late Stalin’s policies. Then, Khrushchev also dismissed the idea to work with Beijing on trying to settle the disagreement with India’s border. Lastly, Khrushchev spoke of peace with the West. In conclusion, China suspicion with the Soviet Union cause a separation in their relationship.

For centuries, man reigned discipline and order over the lands, religion, and military throughout time for a just vision of society. Whether with the inclusiveness and equality of their compatriot’s principles, guidelines or codes or absolute power of god-like decree—principles of law and order were established and forged. Further exploration of past and present leader’s art of supremacy governance reveals and differentiates the comparison and contrast of Rule of Man, Rule of Law and there advantaged to the Rule of Man. More importantly, to exhibit these personages’ underlined motivation, tenacity, ambitions that fostered perseverance of supremacy governance.

Throughout the history of China, the civil strife in China had marked a significant event. With two parties established; the Nationalist known as Kuomintang (KMT) and the Communist known as the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), conflicts between them began to erupt due to their difference in beliefs when CCP began to question to morality of democracy and capitalism. This led to the Chinese Civil War (1945-1949). Although many see that, “early in the civil war it looked as though the Nationalists might prevail. They controlled key cities, their well-equipped troops far outnumbered Communist troops, and they had support from the United States,” (Tamura 180) the outcome of the war was not what everyone thought to be due to many

The twentieth century was a time of new perspectives and challenging authority. Many individuals began experimenting and innovating in an attempt to change the status quo. Two famous individuals of the time period were the physicist Albert Einstein and the activist Mahatma Gandhi. At first glance, the highly logical scientist Albert Einstein and the spiritual, political activist Mahatma Gandhi do not appear to have a great deal in common, but a deeper study of their personal lives and accomplishments reveal the two are far more similar than they are different. Einstein and Gandhi were both creative individuals who revolutionized their respective domains, display the influence of childhood and the child-like mind, and could charm the masses despite difficulties in maintaining close relationships.
