The document discusses how three militant leaders - Idi Amin, Mao Zedong, and Osama Bin Laden - had similar extreme approaches and sought to remove Western influence from their countries. It then analyzes how historical events like colonialism, the Cold War, and the creation of Israel affected these leaders' decisions and fueled anti-Western sentiments. Specifically, Amin expelled Asian and European populations from Uganda, Mao isolated China and pushed communist policies, and Bin Laden called for Islamic rule and opposed Western involvement in Muslim lands.

![[object Object],The three were all very militant leaders, and went to the extreme for their causes. Idi Amin flushed out all western influences in Africa, such as the British and the Asian population, along with the jews as well. If they weren’t exiled from Uganda, then they were forced to do personal deeds for Amin in order to embarrass them. <br />Mao Zedong stopped all trading with western countries, and even went to the point of not letting any Americans or other westerners in China. Communism was the only way to live in China at the time, the people were forced to take all western influences out of their lives, such as bourgeois like glasses and certain novels. Mao also went to the extreme of making the country perfect. He tried acts such as getting rid of flies and robbins at the expense of messing up the ecosystem around the people, making an influx of mosquitoes and other pests. The Great leap forward started in 1958, it organized the entire nation and was a revolutionary movement. The point of the movement was to surpass the U.S. and Britain in steel production, but since the people would lie about their quotas to appease Mao and the revolution, but because of their actions, numbers were off and the economy of China was ruined. China then refused financial aid from the U.N. <br />Osama Bin laden believes that Muslims should be ruled the sharija, the Islamic ideal of religious ruling amongst the people. Him, along with other Islamic fundamentalists, believed that Muslims were superior because their victory over the USSR in the late 70’s and 80’s, and they also deny any help from the U.S. in their war against the Soviets. Project Bojinka was when Islamic fundamentalists planned the assassination of Pope John Paul II because he was the religious figure of a western society. Also, the camp david accords was the assassination of the President of Egypt, Amar Sadat, when he acknowledged Israel as a state. The assassination took place in 1981.<br />,[object Object],The Berlin conference of 1884 colonized Africa and made borders, while not taking into consideration of rival tribes in Africa. Borders were made unevenly, and in foreign interests, causing major conflicts between rival tribes that were stuck neighboring with each other. These foreign influences then led to the decolonization of Africa and the rise of Idi Amin. Due to Idi Amin’s pan-Africanist ideas, the decolonization led to Amin expelling, and discriminating, the foreign influences of Uganda.<br />In the Muslim world, the rise of the USSR and their attack on Afghanistan gave the Muslims a false sense of achievement and empowerment which led them to believe that they needed no Western help, and gave them a warped perspective on the Western world. The creation of Israel also led the Muslim world to despise western influences, and commit acts Jihad on the Jews of Israel, which has led to probably a never-ending war in the Middle East. The U.N. also decided to partition Palestine in order to split it between the Jews and Arabs, which led to more war in the Middle East. One of the major events that happened in the Middle East was the six day war in 1967, in which the United States funded Israel in order to take over the Ghaza Strip and the West Bank in Israel. After the Cold War, Afghanistan was split into two regions; the northern alliance and the Taliban controlled areas.<br />In China, one of the biggest events that influenced the people was the Long March. The march was from southern China to the Yan’an where 100,000 people started the march, and then only 20,000 people finished the march. Eventually, Yan’an is where the Communist party in china set up their headquarters, and then started practicing guerilla tactics. The Manchurian incident of 1931 happened when the Japanese staged a railway bombing and then blamed China for it so the Japanese could invade China, where, eventually, Japan made a new state in Manchuria, Manchukuo. One of the biggest events in Chinese history was the rape of Nanking from 1937-1938, in which Japan invaded China where 300,000 people were killed in eight weeks. The invasion included the rape of women and their executions out in the streets.<br />](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/history198final-110223013024-phpapp01/85/History-198-final-1-320.jpg)

Cold War
The Cold War emerged after World War II as tensions grew between the Western powers (US, Britain, France) and the Soviet Union. Germany and Berlin were divided between the Western Allies and Soviet control. Over time, Eastern European nations fell under Soviet control as well, separated by an "Iron Curtain". The US and Western nations established policies and alliances like the Truman Doctrine, Marshall Plan, and NATO to contain the spread of communism and Soviet influence, engaging in a nuclear arms race and policy of brinkmanship with the Soviet Union. These tensions defined the Cold War era between the Western and Eastern blocs.

Ap vietnam war
The Vietnam War lasted from 1954 to 1975 and divided the United States. It began as an effort to prevent South Vietnam from falling to communism with U.S. military advisors supporting South Vietnam. However, the Viet Cong insurgency and North Vietnamese army made the war very difficult for the U.S. The Tet Offensive in 1968 was a major turning point that turned U.S. public opinion against the war. Protests against the war grew significantly. The U.S. began withdrawing troops under Nixon and a ceasefire was reached in 1973, though South Vietnam fell to communism in 1975. Over 58,000 U.S. soldiers died in the war.

Vietnam War: Reasons for Vietcong Victory
The Việt cộng (Vietnamese communists) originated as the National Liberation Front in South Vietnam and grew to over 400,000 troops by 1968. They were successful due to guerrilla warfare tactics like booby traps, tunnels, and hit-and-run attacks. American forces lacked counterinsurgency training and struggled to gain public support. Foreign allies like China provided troops and materials via the Ho Chi Minh Trail, while Soviet support was more limited. The Việt cộng maintained high morale through heroism, propaganda, and trying to win over the local populace.

Fall of communism in Eastern Europe
The fall of communism in Eastern Europe began with reforms initiated by Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev in the 1980s. Gorbachev's policies of glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring) gave citizens in Eastern Bloc nations more freedom and led them to push for democratic reforms. Nations like Poland, Hungary, East Germany, and Czechoslovakia held free elections and peacefully overthrew their communist governments in 1989. Romania's transition was more violent, with dictator Nicolae Ceausescu being overthrown and executed that same year. By 1990, communism had collapsed across Eastern Europe.

However, the US opposed Ho Chi Minh and backed Diem, escalating their involvement over time and widening the war until a peace agreement in 1973 after significant US troop losses and protests at home. The North then reunified Vietnam under communist rule.

While white students attend schools with slightly more racial diversity than in the past, they remain the most isolated racial group. Contrary to assumptions, the top five most segregated states for black students are California, New York, Illinois, Maryland, and Texas, with Texas being the first southern state on the list. Over five decades after desegregation efforts began, schools across the U.S. have become more racially segregated overall, with segregated neighborhood schools still being the norm.

The Cold War and DecolonizationCuba and the United State.docx
The Cold War and Decolonization
Cuba and the United States
Cuba was ceded to the USA in 1901 at the conclusion of the Spanish-American war.
The US made Cuba an independent state, but retained the “right of intervention” in order to insure a pro-American government.
The ensuing political instability led to years of corruption and questionable elections.
The United States continued to dominate Cuban politics and US companies control the majority of Cuba’s resources (sugar).
Cuba and the Cold War
Political instability and corruption led to a Communist insurgency in the 1950s led by Fidel Castro and Che Guevara.
Castro succeeded in ousting the government of Fulgencio Batista in 1959.
Castro initially looked to the United States for support, but his policies of seizing the property of American companies angered the Eisenhower administration.
The Cuban Missile Crisis: Cold War meets Decolonization
US unhappiness with Cuba turned to hostility in 1961, when the CIA sponsored the “Bay of Pigs” invasion.
Castro immediately turned to the USSR for assistance.
The USSR, under Khrushchev, offered assistance in return for military cooperation.
Castro agreed, and the Soviets placed
medium range nuclear weapons in
Cuba, 90 miles from the USA.
The USA responded with a 13-day
naval blockade and the threat of
general war. Khrushchev agreed
to remove the missiles.

In 1947, his movement forced Britain to accept Indian independence.
Nehru, Gandhi’s partner in the independence movement, worked hard to keep India unaligned with either the USA or the USSR.
The Soviet Union on Western Imperialism
“If it were necessary to give the briefest possible definition of imperialism we should have to say that imperialism is the monopoly stage of capitalism.”
--Lenin, 1916
The official policy of the USSR was
to aid anti-imperial efforts, primarily
by supporting communist insurgencies
and uprisings, in places like Africa and
Latin America.
Bandung Conference
Nehru of India and Sukarno of Indonesia organized the Bandung conference in 1955 for newly independent former colonies.

The Vietnam War was a significant event in American history that sparked widespread protests. The Viet Cong relied on the Ho Chi Minh Trail to transport supplies through jungles and tunnels to evade American forces. The U.S. used helicopters and defoliating chemicals like Agent Orange to fight back. Major political figures like presidents Johnson and Nixon escalated U.S. involvement, while protests against the war grew due to events like the Kent State shootings and draft of Muhammad Ali. The war ended U.S. involvement in 1973 but had lasting impacts on American society and politics.

Technology and geopolitical contexts also separated the two conflicts by decades.

The International Jew - A Summary of Ant-Semitism in the 20th Century
The document discusses the history of anti-Semitism in the 20th century and the promotion of the idea of an "International Jew" conspiracy. It notes that the concept originated with the Tsarist police in Russia due to Jewish involvement in communist groups that opposed the Russian empire. Later, the Nazis promoted it to mobilize opposition to Jewish people in Germany and the Soviet Union used it to turn Arab populations against Israel and Western nations. The story was also propagated by Iran to attack Sunni countries and by Turkey currently due to tensions with Russia and Israel. American industrialist Henry Ford published a series called "The International Jew" in the 1920s that had influence in Germany but was found to be libelous in U.S

Proxy Wars
The document summarizes several proxy wars that occurred during the Cold War between the US and Soviet spheres of influence. These include the Greek Civil War, Korean War, Vietnam War, Bay of Pigs Invasion, Chilean Coup d'etat, Angolan Civil War, and the war in Afghanistan. In each conflict, one side received support from either the US or Soviet Union while the other received aid from the opposing superpower, leading to increased tensions but also shifts in the size of each country's sphere of influence.
Proxy wars2
The Vietnam War began as a conflict between Vietnam's nationalist movement led by Ho Chi Minh and the French colonial government. After the French were defeated in 1954, Vietnam was divided between a communist North backed by Ho Chi Minh and a non-communist South. Tensions rose as South Vietnam's leader Diem grew increasingly authoritarian and suppressed Buddhists. As the Viet Cong insurgency in the South expanded due to Diem's unpopularity, the US increased support for South Vietnam but struggled against guerrilla warfare. Despite withdrawing troops under Nixon, the US was unable to prevent a North Vietnamese victory and the reunification of Vietnam under communist rule in 1975.
