MIHAIL GORBACIOV
Mihail Gorbaciov was born in 1931 in a village in southern Russia. He had a difficult childhood during Stalin's dictatorship, with his grandfather imprisoned in a concentration camp. Gorbaciov joined the Communist party and studied law, graduating in 1955. He steadily rose through the ranks of the Communist party, becoming head of the regional committee in Stavropol in 1970 and a member of the Central Committee in 1971. He was elected General Secretary in 1985 after the deaths of his predecessors Andropov and Chernenko. Unlike previous Soviet leaders, Gorbaciov had traveled abroad, raising hopes he would be a more liberal leader and enact reforms.
Poland in a Possible Franco-Germna War
1) Poland's geographical position as a gateway between Russia and Europe has made it strategically important. Its invasion was a key objective for both German and Russian forces in World War 2.
2) Poland fears becoming caught between Germany and Russia in future conflicts. It seeks strong NATO support to deter Russian aggression but would be vulnerable if isolated.
3) Finland's position bordering Russia also concerns Poland and NATO regarding Russia's intentions and potential escalation of conflicts.

Peder Furubotn (1890–1975) was the most outstanding Communist leader in Norway until he was expelled from the party in 1949 as a factionalist, Titoist, Trotskyite and bourgeois nationalist. The dramatic inner-party struggle in the Communist Party of Norway (NKP) in the autumn of 1949 caused an international stir, because the NKP was the only European Communist Party to be openly split in the 40's. Access from 1992 onwards to the CPSU archives of the former Soviet Union provides us with new insights into this affair which was ultimately a struggle about whether the party should be ruled by Norwegian or Soviet interests.
Russia (Arkhangelsk) / What do we teach about our neighbours?
The document discusses what is taught about neighboring countries and peoples in Russian schools and universities. At the school level, the minimum compulsory content includes Russian history up until the 16th century, including its territorial expansions and relations with neighboring powers. University education includes a federal component on world regions and Russian regions/peoples, as well as region-specific components. Some issues are an imbalance favoring Russian political history over social/cultural contexts, a strong focus on conflicts, and lack of information exchange and reliable cross-regional resources.
Newspaper analysis task 6_Gender, race and class
The document discusses various British newspapers and their coverage of two news stories on March 8th, 2021: 1) The British royal family crisis involving Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's interview with Oprah Winfrey. 2) The ongoing detention of British-Iranian citizen Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe in Iran on charges of spying, which she denies. It notes which newspapers focused more on one story over the other and how they framed the stories, with most right-leaning papers focusing more on the royal family crisis while more center and left papers gave more attention to Zaghari-Ratcliffe's detention.
Otto Frank
Otto Frank was born in 1889 in Germany. He married his wife Edith and had two daughters, Margot and Anne. In the 1930s, to escape Nazi persecution as Jews, Otto and his family went into hiding in Amsterdam. They were hidden for over two years in the secret annex of Otto's business building until they were discovered in 1944. Only Otto survived the Holocaust. After the war, Otto worked to get Anne's diary published which brought worldwide attention to the Holocaust. Otto Frank died in 1980 in Switzerland.
Germany
The document discusses issues in Germany in the 1930s that led to the rise of the Nazi party, including:
1) Germany faced many problems under the ineffective Weimar government following World War 1, including having to pay reparations, political extremism, and signing the unpopular Treaty of Versailles.
2) The Great Depression hit Germany hard in the early 1930s, exacerbating unemployment, which the Nazi party exploited by offering jobs.
3) Pre-existing anti-Semitism in Germany was something the Nazis were able to build on, presenting Jews as the cause for Germany's problems and portraying Aryans/true Germans as a superior race.
Social science. alcide de gasperi
Alcide De Gasperi was an Italian politician who served as prime minister for eight consecutive terms from 1945 to 1953. He was a founding father of the Christian Democratic Party and a key proponent of European integration. As prime minister, he led stable coalition governments during a period of economic recovery and growth in postwar Italy. He strongly advocated for European cooperation and Italy's participation in early initiatives like the Council of Europe and European Coal and Steel Community. However, criticism from within his party over social reforms and debates led to his resignation in 1953. He remained a driving force for European unity until his death the following year.

Germany at War the Home Front
Nazi Germany was greatly impacted by World War 2:
- Life on the German home front changed drastically from 1938-1945 as the war progressed and more resources were devoted to the war effort.
- Women increasingly took over roles traditionally held by men who were fighting in the war, as the Nazi government promoted a message of German women supporting the war through work.
- The daily lives of many German citizens were disrupted by shortages of food and goods, increased propaganda promoting sacrifice for the war, and disruption or loss of family members at the front.

After the Russian Civil War and a famine in 1921, about one million Russians emigrated from the country. The Lenin administration established the New Economic Policy in 1921 to allow some private enterprise to help economic recovery. It nationalized some industries but allowed private farming and trade. In 1922, the USSR was formally created, consolidating Soviet rule over Russia and neighboring republics under a new constitution.The Rise of Putin
This presentation shows a general history of the incumbent President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin. It is important to know the history behind important world leaders, especially when one of those leaders could be the next big threat to the United States.
Impact Of War On Britain
Britain initially followed a policy of appeasement towards Hitler's Germany, allowing the remilitarization of the Rhineland, annexation of Austria, and cession of the Sudetenland. However, Chamberlain began rearming Britain in 1937 as he no longer trusted Hitler. At the Munich Agreement in 1938, the USSR was excluded and the West was suspicious of Russia. In August 1939, the Soviet-German non-aggression pact was signed, giving the USSR time to strengthen its defenses while Hitler offered peace with the West preparing for war. Stalin also gained a buffer zone by agreeing to divide Poland with Germany.
Leon trotsky (1879 1940)
Leon Trotsky (1879-1940) was a Russian Marxist revolutionary and theorist who made major contributions to the theory of permanent revolution and was a key figure in the Bolshevik revolution. As chairman of the St. Petersburg Soviet in 1905, he advocated for the dictatorship of the proletariat and global communist revolution. He held important roles in the early Soviet government, serving as president of the Petrograd Soviet in 1917 and later as People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs and People's Commissar for Army and Navy Affairs.

The document summarizes the rise and fall of the Fascist Party in San Marino from 1923 to 1943. The Fascist Party, led by Giuliano Gozi, came to power in 1923 after using violence against opponents like socialists. For 20 years, only Fascists could hold the position of Captain-Regent. However, independent politicians still controlled the parliament. After Mussolini's arrest in 1943, a large anti-fascist rally ended Fascist rule in San Marino, and July 28th became a national holiday commemorating liberation from fascism.

CAMBRIDGE A2 HISTORY: NKVD
The NKVD was the law enforcement agency of the Soviet Union that executed the will of the Communist Party. It contained regular police forces but was best known for operating the Gulag system of forced labor camps and conducting mass executions and deportations under Stalin. The NKVD stemmed from the Cheka secret police established after the Bolshevik Revolution and gradually expanded to become an all-union security force by 1934, responsible for detention facilities and the regular police in addition to state security.
Leon Trotsky
Leon Trotsky was a Russian revolutionary born in 1879 who helped lead the Bolshevik faction of the Russian Social Democratic Party. He played a key role in the 1917 Russian Revolution and helped Vladimir Lenin seize power, becoming the second most powerful man in the new Soviet government. However, he later fell out of favor with Joseph Stalin and was exiled from the Soviet Union. He spent his final years criticizing Stalin from abroad until being assassinated by a Soviet agent in Mexico in 1940 at the age of 60, showing how completely he had been removed from power by his former ally Stalin.
Hitler's FB
Lil Adi was born in 1889 in Austria-Hungary to Alois Hitler and Klara Pölzl. He had a difficult childhood, with an abusive father and developing strong feelings of German nationalism and antisemitism from a young age. After failing to be accepted to art school twice, Hitler moved to Munich where he joined the German Workers' Party, which he helped transform into the Nazi party through his skills as an orator. In 1923, Hitler led a failed coup against the German government known as the Beer Hall Putsch, for which he was imprisoned where he wrote his autobiography and manifesto Mein Kampf. After his release from prison, Hitler rebuilt the Nazi party and rose to power in
Stoly
Petr Stolypin served as the Prime Minister of Russia from 1906 until 1911. He implemented important land and agricultural reforms to improve the lives of peasants by giving them property rights and access to education. These reforms aimed to modernize Russia's economy but made him unpopular with radicals and other European powers who saw the changes as a threat. Despite facing opposition, Stolypin's reforms are largely seen as successful in strengthening Russia's economy and agricultural sector.
Russia revision and historiography
This document provides guidance and sources for students to analyze factors that caused change in Russian history. It includes a matching activity to connect important figures in Russian history to statements about them. It also lists potential causes of change, such as war, individuals, opposition, social conditions, ideas, religion, and industrialization. Students work in pairs to analyze sources and answer questions about them. They then provide feedback by explaining the message and lessons of one source, and answering the questions. The document instructs students to consider the author's perspective and which factor each source identifies as the primary cause of change. It directs students to online discussion boards to post their analysis and opinions on what single factor caused the most significant change in Russia.
Stalin's Rise to Power
Stalin rose to power in the Soviet Union through a combination of factors. He carefully maneuvered himself up the party ranks with appointments from Lenin. As General Secretary, he consolidated power by appointing allies. After Lenin's death, Stalin further isolated opponents by allying with different factions and turning them against each other, removing Trotsky, the Left, and the Right from power. Through ruthless manipulation, Stalin was able to eliminate all political rivals and become the unchallenged leader of the Soviet Union by the early 1930s.
Nazi activism (1)
This document discusses who voted for the Nazi party in Germany in the early 1930s. It presents several perspectives from historians and social scientists. While some argued the typical Nazi voter was young, male, Protestant and middle class, more recent analysis shows that around 40% of Nazi party members and voters came from working class backgrounds. The Nazi vote was relatively low in areas with high unemployment and higher in areas with low unemployment, while the Communist vote was stronger where unemployment was higher. The document discusses some of the challenges in accurately analyzing voter data from this period.
Vietnam December 2019
Ho Chi Minh cultivated his revolutionary views through extensive travel and study of different political philosophies. He was exposed to Confucianism in Vietnam but also lived in France, England, the Soviet Union, and China where he studied democracy, socialism, and communism. These experiences influenced his belief that Marxism-Leninism was the path to liberating Vietnam from French colonial rule. He founded the Vietnamese Communist Party in 1950 with the goal of establishing an independent Vietnam and implementing socialist policies once independence was achieved.
Abolish The Nkp
The NKVD was the law enforcement agency and secret police of the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin. It was responsible for political repression, kidnappings, murders, and mass executions during Stalin's rule. The NKVD carried out prisoner massacres during World War II, killing an estimated 100,000 prisoners in Eastern Europe. One of the largest massacres occurred in the Katyn Forest, where the NKVD shot and buried over 4,000 Polish prisoners. The NKVD played a key role in Stalin's consolidation of power through terror against any perceived political opponents.

The historical monograph
Joseph Stalin was a Soviet revolutionary and politician who led the Soviet Union from the mid-1920s until his death in 1953. He oversaw rapid industrialization and collectivization but also caused mass casualties through forced collectivization, famine, and establishing a totalitarian regime.

03. SOVIET CONTROL OF EASTERN EUROPE: Country by country takeover
- After World War 2, the Soviet Union exerted control over Eastern Europe by installing communist governments in neighboring countries.
- The Soviets took over countries like Albania, East Germany, Romania, Bulgaria, Poland, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia from 1944-1948. In each country, communist parties drove out opposition and established totalitarian rule aligned with the Soviet Union.
- Stalin used both coercion and promises of aid to bring Eastern European countries under Soviet control. By 1948, the region was firmly within the Soviet sphere of influence, alarming Western powers like the United States and United Kingdom.

3) Adolf Hitler in Germany who joined the Nazi party after WW1 and transformed it
Mermaid Myth
While the goal of equal opportunity is admirable, integrating women into frontline combat roles presents several challenges. Physiological differences mean that women are more susceptible to injuries under the physical demands of infantry jobs. It could also undermine unit cohesion and effectiveness if inappropriate behavior is not adequately addressed. Additionally, the risks of sexual harassment and assault may increase due to close living quarters and job requirements in infantry roles. Overall, merit-based standards for all combat positions would better serve military effectiveness and readiness over policies aimed primarily at gender integration.
Janek maljowski
Janek Maljowski was a Polish communist activist and politician born in 1905. He became involved in labor unions and leftist politics in the 1920s, joining the Communist Party of Poland in 1926.

After World War 2 began, Maljowski held high-ranking positions in the Polish communist government, helping the party consolidate power and transform Poland according to the Soviet model. However, he became disillusioned with Stalinism due to its excesses. Maljowski expressed antisemitic views privately in a 1948 memo to Stalin.
AFTER THE END of World War I, many Germans were unwilling t.docx
AFTER THE END of World War I, many Germans were unwilling to accept that their nation's
armed forces had been vanquished on the battlefield, giving rise to the widespread belief that
defeat had come about as the result of a “stab in the back” by traitorous elements within the
German population. To some, there was no secret as to who those treasonous elements were:
they were to be found in the country's Jewish population. Jews were prominent in many
professions, including law, medicine, and education, and were active in the financial and banking
sector as well. Widely envied and resented, they were ripe targets for attack by revenge-seeking
revanchist groups within the country.
In the early 1930s, the nationalist firebrand Adolf Hitler took advantage of these sentiments
to seize power in a country wracked by the Great Depression. In a relatively short period of time,
Hitler, at the head of his National Socialist (Nazi) Party, installed himself as the dictator of what
was termed the Third Reich. He soon embarked on a path to cleanse the country of its internal
enemies and make Germany once again the dominant force in Europe. The ensuing conflict,
which eventually spread worldwide, repeated the horrors of the previous “war to end all wars”
and resulted in an even more decisive defeat for German forces on the battlefield. When World
War II came to an end in 1945, there could be no further cries of a “stab in the back.” Germany
had been decisively defeated and its capital of Berlin lay in ruins.
CRITICAL THINKING
Q What was the relationship between World War I and World War II, and how did the ways
in which the wars were fought differ?
The Rise of Dictatorial Regimes
On February 3, 1933, only four days after he had been appointed chancellor of Germany, Adolf
Hitler (1889–1945) met secretly with Germany's leading generals. He revealed to them his desire
to remove the “cancer of democracy,” create a new authoritarian leadership, and forge a new
domestic unity. His foreign policy objectives were equally striking. Since Germany's living
space was too small for its people, Hitler said, Germany must rearm and prepare for “the
conquest of new living space in the east and its ruthless Germanization.”

Kirkpatrick Macmillan was a blacksmith from Dumfriesshire, Scotland who is credited with inventing the bicycle in 1839. He came up with the idea of mounting pedals to the front wheel of a hobbyhorse, a child's toy consisting of a small frame with an axle and handlebars but no pedals. His first prototype resembled a hobbyhorse with pedals attached to the front wheel and steering handled mounted on the frame, representing one of the earliest known bicycles.
