Fall of communism
The fall of communism in Eastern Europe led to the dissolution of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia in the early 1990s. Mikhail Gorbachev's policies of glasnost and perestroika weakened Soviet control over Eastern Europe and republics sought independence. Ethnic tensions and violence erupted in Yugoslavia as Serbia's Slobodan Milosevic attempted to dominate the republics. Wars broke out in Croatia, Bosnia, and Kosovo as Milosevic carried out ethnic cleansing campaigns against non-Serbs. By 1991, the Soviet Union collapsed and Russia emerged as the dominant successor state led by Boris Yeltsin and later Vladimir Putin.
Europe And Eastern Europe Test Review
This document provides an overview of several chapters covering Europe and Eastern Europe from 1914 to the end of the Cold War. It summarizes the key causes of World War I, including militarism, alliances, nationalism, imperialism, and assassination. It then discusses the results of World War I, including the Treaty of Versailles and rise of fascism in Germany and Italy. It also summarizes the Russian Revolution of 1917 and rise of communism in Russia under Lenin and Stalin. Finally, it discusses the causes and key events of World War II, as well as the postwar establishment of the United Nations and division of Europe during the Cold War between Western democracies and the Soviet bloc.
Fall of Soviet Union
The Soviet Union faced numerous internal problems that contributed to its collapse, including nationalism and ethnic diversity with over 100 ethnic groups within its borders, worker morale declined as shortages increased standard of living, and Gorbachev's reforms of glasnost and perestroika opened up criticism of the government and decentralization but did not do enough to solve economic issues. An attempted coup by communist hardliners in 1991 failed when people resisted, and soon after the Soviet Union dissolved into 15 independent republics, bringing an end to 74 years of Soviet rule.
The Fall of the Soviet Union 7th Period
The document summarizes the fall of the Soviet Union in 3 main points:
1) The Soviet Union collapsed suddenly in 1991, dissolving into 15 independent countries, after years of economic struggles and reforms under Gorbachev weakened the centralized communist system.
2) The Soviet war in Afghanistan from 1979-1988 drained Soviet resources and unpopular, contributing to reforms and nationalist sentiments.
3) Life was difficult under Stalin's repressive communist rule but improved after his death, though the centralized command economy ultimately failed as the USSR dissolved.
Decline Of Communism In Eastern Europe And The
The document summarizes the decline of communism in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

The Collapse of Communism & the USSR
Mikhail Gorbachev's reforms of glasnost and perestroika, as well as economic failures, rising nationalism, and public demand for change, contributed to the fall of European communist regimes in 1989. The opening of the Berlin Wall and revolutions in Eastern bloc countries ended the Soviet Union's control over Eastern Europe. By 1991, nationalist and reformist sentiments led by Boris Yeltsin overwhelmed the Soviet system, culminating in the dissolution of the USSR.
Collapse of soviet union
The Soviet Union faced many economic and political problems in the 1980s under Mikhail Gorbachev's leadership. Gorbachev introduced reforms like perestroika to restructure the Soviet economy and political system, reducing the Communist Party's power. However, tensions rose as ethnic groups demanded independence. By 1991, the Soviet Union dissolved as Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus declared its end and Gorbachev resigned.
The collapse-of-the-soviet-union
The document summarizes the collapse of the Soviet Union in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It began with the formation of the Solidarity trade union in Poland in 1980 which received support from the Catholic Church and led to reforms.

This led to demonstrations across Eastern Europe in 1989 and the fall of communist governments. The Berlin Wall was opened in November 1989, marking the collapse of Soviet control over Eastern Europe.

The collapse of the communist party of the soviet union and the disintegratio...
The document discusses the rise of Stalinism in the Soviet Union after the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. It argues that Stalinism arose from material conditions including the devastation of World War I and civil war, which necessitated relying on bureaucrats and experts with little sympathy for socialism. This privileged bureaucratic layer became fused with the Communist party apparatus and came to dominate the Soviet state under Stalin's leadership. The document maintains Stalinism did not represent true Marxism or Leninism and was not the inevitable outcome of the Bolshevik revolution.
The fall of the soviet union
The fall of the Soviet Union was caused by several economic and political factors over many years. Mikhail Gorbachev attempted reforms with glasnost and perestroika in the 1980s, but these had unintended consequences like increased nationalism that contributed to the USSR's dissolution. An August 1991 coup failed to stop growing independence movements. By December 1991, the Soviet Union had dissolved and was replaced by the Commonwealth of Independent States.

It then describes some of the economic difficulties that led to the fall, including the loss of $20 billion per year after Saudi Arabia stopped supporting oil prices. Finally, it states that Mikhail Gorbachev resigned as Soviet leader on December 25, 1991, marking the official fall of the Soviet Union and end of communist rule.
Soviet Eastern Europe
After World War 2, Stalin imposed rigid control over Eastern Europe, exporting his totalitarian policies and forcing obedience from Communist parties. While the Soviet Union recovered economically under Stalin's five-year plans focusing on heavy industry, Eastern Europe saw slow development. After Stalin's death in 1953, Khrushchev denounced Stalin's cult of personality and pursued de-Stalinization, improving living standards and allowing some freedoms. However, conservatives opposed the reforms as a threat to the Communist system. De-Stalinization also caused revolts in Eastern Europe in 1956, which the Soviet Union suppressed by force. Khrushchev was eventually ousted in 1964 due to his erratic foreign policy and the conservatives' desire to return to Stalinist control.

Intro ussr communist 2014
Dynastic monarchies in Russia and China faced economic and social problems in the early 20th century, leading to revolutions. In Russia, the tsar was overthrown and a provisional democratic government formed, but it failed amid World War I losses. Radicals like the Bolsheviks gained power, and their leader Lenin seized control. A civil war ensued as anti-communist forces fought back, but the Bolsheviks prevailed. Lenin established communist rule, redistributing land and industrializing through five-year plans. In China, the Qing dynasty fell in 1912 and a provisional government took over, but problems continued and communists gained victory in 1949, establishing the People's Republic of China.

This resulted in the fall of communist governments across Eastern Europe between 1989-1990 and the reunification of Germany.
Marxism And The Socialist Movement
The document discusses Marxism and the rise of socialist movements in Europe in the late 19th century. It describes how socialist parties grew rapidly after 1871 and united internationally, forming the First International in 1864 led by Marx. The Second International, a federation of national socialist parties, lasted from 1864 to 1914. While Marx predicted a violent proletariat revolution, unions became gradually legalized and living standards rose, making workers less revolutionary. Revisionist socialists believed in achieving socialism through reform within capitalist systems using unions and other legal means, rather than violent revolution. By the late 19th century, socialist movements in each country became more nationalist and distinct from one another.

World Wars Compared
The document compares World War I and World War II in several areas:
1) Both wars had complex causes related to nationalism, militarism, alliances and imperialism that led countries into a tragic series of events.
2) Warfare advanced significantly from trench warfare in WWI to blitzkrieg tactics and truly global combat in WWII, utilizing new weapons and technologies.
3) The results of both wars included massive human and economic destruction, redrawing of borders and restructuring of governments, emergence of new powers, and lasting impacts on society and international order.
The collapse-of-the-soviet-union
The document summarizes the collapse of the Soviet Union in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It began with the formation of the Polish trade union Solidarity in 1980 which gained strong support from workers and the Catholic Church in Poland. Mikhail Gorbachev came to power in 1985 and implemented reforms like glasnost and perestroika to try to save the Soviet system, but the reforms were too slow and the economic crisis continued. Gorbachev's renunciation of the Brezhnev Doctrine allowed Eastern European states to break from Soviet domination. Massive demonstrations in 1989 weakened communist regimes, and the Berlin Wall was opened that November, marking the collapse of Soviet control in Eastern Europe.
End of the cold war
Mikhail Gorbachev implemented reforms in the Soviet Union in the 1980s to reduce government control of business and increase freedoms for citizens in an attempt to stabilize the failing economy. These reforms unintentionally sparked political changes across Eastern Europe as countries gained more independence. In 1989, the Berlin Wall fell as East and West Germans celebrated being able to cross freely, marking a symbolic end to the Cold War. By 1991, the Soviet Union dissolved entirely as the separate republics declared independence, bringing an end to the Cold War.
Introducction to Communism
This document provides an overview of key concepts in communism including:
- Marx and Engels developed communism based on their analysis of how societies progressed through primitive communism, feudalism, capitalism, socialism, to eventually communism.
- Under communism, all property is publicly owned, people work for the common good rather than individual gain, and each contribute according to their abilities and receive according to their needs.
- Communism aims to create a classless society without private property through revolution of the proletariat against the bourgeoisie and establishment of public ownership.
What is Communism?
Communism is a political ideology based on the ideas of Karl Marx and Frederick Engels. Marx and Engels observed that societies progressed through different economic stages - primitive communism, feudalism, capitalism, socialism, and finally communism. Under primitive communism, small tribes shared everything equally. Feudalism developed as powerful kings took control of land and resources. Capitalism emerged as business owners profited from workers' labor. Socialism involves workers taking political control to benefit all people. Communism is the final stage where sharing is universal and money, classes, and government are not needed.

In 1989, the Berlin Wall fell as East and West Germans celebrated being able to cross freely, marking a symbolic end to the Cold War. By 1991, the Soviet Union dissolved entirely as the separate republics declared independence, bringing an end to the Cold War.

Introducction to Communism
This document provides an overview of key concepts in communism including:
- Marx and Engels developed communism based on their analysis of how societies progressed through primitive communism, feudalism, capitalism, socialism, to eventually communism.
- Under communism, all property is publicly owned, people work for the common good rather than individual gain, and each contribute according to their abilities and receive according to their needs.
- Communism aims to create a classless society without private property through revolution of the proletariat against the bourgeoisie and establishment of public ownership.
What is Communism?
Communism is a political ideology based on the ideas of Karl Marx and Frederick Engels. Marx and Engels observed that societies progressed through different economic stages - primitive communism, feudalism, capitalism, socialism, and finally communism. Under primitive communism, small tribes shared everything equally. Feudalism developed as powerful kings took control of land and resources. Capitalism emerged as business owners profited from workers' labor. Socialism involves workers taking political control to benefit all people. Communism is the final stage where sharing is universal and money, classes, and government are not needed.
communism in Russia
1. The document discusses the rise of Communism in Russia, from the rule of the Tsar to the establishment of the Soviet Union.
2. It describes how the failures of the Provisional Government and promises of Communism like ending World War I and redistributing land led to the Bolsheviks, led by Lenin, taking power in the October 1917 Revolution.
3. Stalin later rose to power by outmaneuvering rivals like Trotsky after Lenin's death in 1924 and established himself as dictator of the Soviet Union.
The most awesome animals speech ever
Animals have rights like humans as they were created by God and should be treated equally. The document discusses how animals are abused and killed for food, fur, and experimentation, with 39% of animals being abused each year. It argues that abusing animals is wrong and will lead to their extinction, and promotes treating animals and humans as one family living in peace.
Communism, fascism, and nazism
Communism, Fascism, and Nazism were forms of government that aimed to control citizens and society. Communism called for common ownership and a classless society. Fascism granted complete control to the government over citizens' lives. Nazism similarly sought total control but excluded those not of German descent. Key leaders were Vladimir Lenin for Communism, Benito Mussolini for Fascism, and Adolf Hitler for Nazism. While these ideologies aimed for control, only remnants remain of their systems today.
Stop Animal Abuse
The document makes a call to action for citizens to help fight animal cruelty by reporting any instances they witness. It provides examples of signs of animal abuse to look out for, such as wounds, thin animals, and aggressive behavior toward owners. It advises reaching out to local authorities like animal control to file a report, providing as many details as possible. Finally, it suggests additional ways to help through advocacy, properly caring for one's own pets, teaching children compassion, and volunteering at shelters.

Communism soviet-empire-and-utopian-dreams-11322
The history of communism was largely defined by the Soviet Union in the 20th century. Communism began with the ideas of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in the 1800s and led to the Russian Revolution in 1917 where the Bolsheviks overthrew the Tsar. Under Vladimir Lenin, the Bolsheviks established a one-party communist state led by the Communist Party and enforced by the secret police. Upon Lenin's death, Joseph Stalin emerged victorious from a power struggle and transformed the Soviet system into a highly centralized totalitarian state focused on security and power over communist revolution abroad.
The Soviet Union: Totalitarian State
Under Stalin's totalitarian rule:
1. He consolidated power by exerting total control over the Communist Party and appearing to provide security and direction for the future.
2. The Soviet people accepted great difficulties and sacrifice, believing the state's brutality was for their protection and promises of prosperity.
3. During the Great Terror of 1937-1938, about 7 million were arrested, 1 million executed, and 2 million died in camps, with only 10% of camp prisoners surviving.
The Russian Revolution Lecture
Vladimir Lenin led the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia in 1917, overthrowing the czarist government and establishing the Soviet Union. After Lenin's death in 1924, Joseph Stalin rose to power and established a totalitarian dictatorship, instituting policies like collectivization of agriculture, rapid industrialization through Five Year Plans, and the Great Purge which eliminated political opponents. Stalin's rule had both positive impacts like modernizing Soviet industry and infrastructure, but also had tremendously negative consequences with human and economic costs, like the famine caused by collectivization and mass executions during the Great Purge.

This further exacerbated other ongoing issues including foreign intervention, opposition to Bolshevik rule, and food shortages, leading to escalating conflict between the Bolshevik Red Army and opposing White forces.
The bloody history of communism 2. english
Stalin came to power in the Soviet Union after Lenin's death and instituted increasingly brutal policies. He implemented forced collectivization of agriculture which led to widespread famine, killing millions of Ukrainian and other peasants. Cannibalism emerged as starving peasants resorted to eating human flesh. Stalin had political opponents and landowners detained and executed, and set up brutal labor camps where millions perished. His purge of the military left the Soviet Union unprepared when Nazi Germany invaded in 1941. In total, Stalin's regime is estimated to have killed around 40 million Soviet citizens through executions, forced labor, famine, and exile to Siberia.

The document summarizes the events leading up to the establishment of communist governments in Eastern Europe after World War II. It discusses the Russian Revolution of 1917 that created the Soviet Union, Poland and Germany's involvement in WWII, and the devastation across Europe at the end of the war. With the Red Army occupying much of Eastern Europe, the Soviets were able to exert political control through military forces, advisors in political parties, incentives for cooperation, and other mechanisms. This resulted in Eastern European countries falling under Soviet influence and control after WWII.
The Russian Revolutions

Russian revolution
The document summarizes the history of Russia leading up to the Russian Revolution in 1917. It describes the authoritarian rule of the Czars from Ivan the Terrible to Nicholas II, and the social and economic problems facing Russia at the time, including peasant uprisings and involvement in World War I. The revolution occurred when Nicholas II abdicated the throne in February 1917 due to public unrest. A provisional government took over but faced opposition from the Bolsheviks led by Vladimir Lenin, who seized power in October 1917 and established communist rule, taking Russia out of World War I.
The russian revolution
Vladimir Lenin was a Russian revolutionary who led the Bolshevik Revolution in October 1917, establishing the Soviet Union and communist rule. He was influenced by Karl Marx and believed in a revolution led by workers. After years of exile, Lenin returned to Russia during World War I and seized power. Joseph Stalin later succeeded Lenin after his death and established an authoritarian regime, carrying out brutal purges that eliminated his political opponents. Both leaders established communist single-party states in Russia through revolutionary and oppressive means that had lasting impacts.
USSR-The end of Purges
Stalin stopped the terror in the late 1930s. In 1938, Yezhov was replaced as head of the secret police by Beria, and arrests slowed down. However, purges of the central committee and army continued into 1939. By 1940, all the old Bolsheviks had been wiped out, including Trotsky who was murdered. Going into World War II, the purges were much reduced. The purges destabilized the administrative system and negatively impacted industrial production. Millions were arrested and hundreds of thousands were executed, including party and military leaders, intellectuals, and ordinary citizens.

Perceptionlecture
The document discusses perception, cognition, and worldviews. It explains that when students learn, their brain changes by forming new neural connections and strengthening or eliminating existing connections. Learning occurs through enriched environments that provide novelty, engage multiple senses, and elicit high motivation and focused attention and significant emotional reactions. However, too much emotion can interfere with learning. It also notes that perception is variable, unreliable, and driven by both our senses and our mindsets. Worldviews provide basic assumptions about reality, values, cultural examples, and rules to guide behavior. Worldviews evolve gradually over time in response to changes in our environment and experiences.
Genocide
The document discusses various terms and events related to genocide and crimes against humanity throughout history. It begins with definitions of terms like genocide, democide, ethnic cleansing, and pogroms. It then provides brief historical examples of events where large-scale killing and persecution occurred, such as the Armenian Genocide, The Holocaust, and Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge. The bulk of the document focuses on detailing aspects and events of the Holocaust from its rise in Germany in the 1930s through concentration camps and mass killings in the 1940s.
Writing
The document provides advice for writing good quality documents. It outlines three main rules: 1) No one wants to read badly written documents that are illogical, disorganized, ungrammatical or factually incorrect. Documents should be logically organized and supported by facts. 2) Plagiarism is wrong. Writers should not copy and paste from other sources without attribution. 3) Documents should be properly attributed, with paraphrased content in the writer's own words and direct quotes properly marked with citations.
Philosophers

It includes Confucius, Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, Kautilya, Machiavelli, Thomas Hobbes, and John Locke.
Lawpresent
Racial segregation in public schools was established by the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court decision that upheld the doctrine of "separate but equal". This legalized racial segregation until the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision overturned it, finding that separate educational facilities are inherently unequal. However, desegregation progressed slowly. Subsequent court cases dealt with how to enforce desegregation through measures such as busing students across districts, with mixed results regarding limiting desegregation orders. The 2007 Parents Involved decision placed new restrictions on considering race as a factor in student assignments.

Tapestry
This document provides instructions for students to turn their study guide into a medieval tapestry made of roll paper and art supplies. It explains that during the Middle Ages, tapestries were used by wealthy nobility to decorate castles and palaces by telling stories, myths, and religious parables as well as displaying symbols of power. Tapestries also served practical purposes by dividing rooms and keeping castles warmer. Students are encouraged to include figures, symbols, words, decorative borders, and rich colors and patterns in their tapestry designs.

This document summarizes the origins and early development of human society and government from 2.5 million years ago to around 3000 BC. It describes how early humans lived in tiny family bands without culture or government. Around 100,000 BC, the first simple societies began to form as hunter-gatherer bands grew into clans with division of labor and semi-permanent territories. By 15,000 BC, complex societies emerged with the agricultural revolution, allowing population growth and the rise of villages, towns and early civilizations along major rivers. Tribes became the dominant social organization, sometimes growing into chiefdoms or kingdoms ruled by monarchs by around 6000-3000 BC in places like ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia.
Worldview Write
The document provides instructions for students to write a 1-2 page journal entry describing their worldview and the general worldview of other students their age in either a narrative or persuasive style.

The journal entry will be checked in class on Thursday.
Information Revolution
Digital natives are people born after 1980 who have grown up with technology like the internet and smartphones, while digital immigrants are people born before 1980 who have had to adapt to new technologies later in life. Digital natives are very comfortable with multimedia, multitasking, and social networking, while digital immigrants may struggle more with new technologies and prefer more traditional forms of communication. The differences between digital natives and digital immigrants have important implications for how people of different generations use and understand new technologies.
Globalization & War
The document discusses how globalization and new technologies have led to an increasingly connected and complex world. It notes how things used to be simpler when there was a single dominant voice, but now everyone can connect and share information globally through networked technologies. The world is now adaptive, uncertain, complex, and multipolar as a result of globalization since 1989 and innovations like the internet, which have collapsed distances and changed how people and information are connected on a global scale.
Obama-McCain 2008
The document instructs the reader to review the policy positions of John McCain and Barack Obama on various issues like defense, taxes, and education by accessing their campaign websites. It then asks the reader to choose one additional issue of their choice to compare. Finally, it poses questions about which issues the two candidates most agree or disagree on, which candidate's views are closest to the reader's, and whether the media accurately portrays Obama as liberal and McCain as conservative based on their analyzed positions.
Politicalspectrum
The document traces the origins and evolution of politics from Ancient Greece to the French Revolution. In Ancient Greece, different forms of government like democracy and oligarchy emerged as politics centered on the relationship between citizens and the state. The Romans adopted many Greek political ideas and developed the concept of citizenship, with government as a public institution. During the French Revolution, the political spectrum was born as the National Assembly divided between radicals, liberals, and conservatives in their visions for a new French government.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
