The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

▶ I can identify the causes and effects of the Russian
Revolution.
▶ I can describe characteristics of different economic
systems.
▶ I can analyze how various world leaders influenced
WWI, WWII and the Cold War as well as those who
opposed various means of oppression.
3. Big Picture
▶ World leaders used various means to accomplish political, economic,
and social goals to promote national interest and individual rights.
▶ Russia’s participation in WWI, weak leadership, economic disparity, and
the influence of Lenin led to the Russian Revolution. The Russian
Revolution ended the Romanov Empire and created communist USSR.
▶ Economic systems determine how goods will be produced and
distributed-though politics plays a major role in a nation’s economy.
Communism and fascism directly commands economies while the free-
market system dominates in democracies.

▶ “Last Russian Emperor”

of the foremost great powers of the
world to economic and military
collapse.
▶ “Nicholas the Bloody” – violent
suppression of rebellion, executed
political opponents, and pursued military
campaigns on an unprecedented scale.
▶ Abdicated the throne following the
February Revolution.

that would eliminate corruption in the government.
▶ Alexander and Nicholas used harsh tactics, such as
the use of a secret police, to suppress reform.
▶ Czar Nicholas II admitted that he was unfit to rule.
▶ Many people resented him and his family due to
their lavish lifestyle.

families.

▶ On Sunday, January 22,
1905, a march occurred in St.
Petersburg.

czar (Nicholas II) called in
soldiers to put down the
uprising.

the peaceful marchers, killing
and wounding several.

destroyed the people’s
faith and trust in the

Nicholas agreed to reforms and
promised to grant more rights,
such as freedom of speech, to

RUSSIAN REVOLUTION
OF 1905
18. Revolutionaries
▶ The provisional government’s
slowness to bring about
meaningful change led
revolutionary socialists to
plot further actions.
▶ They established soviets, or
councils of workers and
soldiers, in Russian cities.
▶ In time, these soviets were
taken over by the radical
socialist party.
19. Russia and WWI

decisions concerning Russia during the war.
▶ Some believed his wife, Alexandra was a German
spy; also that she was under the influence of
Siberian Monk, Rasputin.
▶ Russia lost somewhere between five and eight
million soldiers.
▶ This was the last straw for many Russians.
20. Vladimir Lenin
▶ During WWI, Germany sent Vladimir
Lenin, a Communist, into Russia
because they wanted Russia out of
the way. (wanted to focus on
fighting France, Britain, and the US)
▶ Lenin ran on a simple message:
▶ “Peace, Land, and Bread”
▶ Peasants loved this!
▶ Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky
headed a revolutionary socialist
party, the Bolsheviks.
21. Lenin Gains Support
▶ Lenin and Trotsky followed the ideas
of Karl Marx, but they adapted
them to the needs of Russia.
▶ Took farmland from the rich and
gave it to the poor.
▶ Took control of banks and industry
▶ Established an 8 hour work day.
▶ Had Russian Czar, Nicholas II, and
his family executed.
22. Lenin Takes Over
▶ In November 1917, the Bolsheviks led soldiers, sailors, and factory
workers in an uprising that overthrew the government.
▶ The Bolsheviks, now called Communists, distributed land to the
peasants and gave workers control of the factories and mines.
▶ A civil war broke out between the Bolsheviks “Reds” and those who
opposed Lenin, the “Whites”. (15 million people killed)
▶ After the “Red” victory, rather than share the money and power as
promised, Lenin’s Bolsheviks kept it for themselves.
▶ Lenin dies, and is replaced by….
23. Joseph Stalin
▶ The new Soviet leader, Joseph Stalin,
ruled through terror and brutality.
▶ For example, in the 1930’s Stalin
launched the Great Purge out of fear
that other Communist Party members
were plotting against him.
▶ During the Great Purge, Stalin
accused thousands of people of
crimes against the government.
▶ Many of the accused were executed;
others were exiled or sent to prison
camps
24. Stalin continued…
▶ Stalin turned the Soviet Union into a
totalitarian state.
▶ In a totalitarian state form of
government, a one-party dictatorship
attempts to regulate every aspect of
the lives of its citizens.
▶ Stalin established a command
economy, in which government
officials made all basic economic
decisions.
▶ Under Stalin, the government
controlled factories, businesses, and
farms.
25. Industrialization
▶ One of Stalin’s chief goals was to make the Soviet Union strong by turning
it into a modern industrial power.
▶ In 1928, Stalin launched the first of a series of Five-Year Plans to build
industry and increase farm output.
▶ Emphasis was placed on heavy-industry, while consumer goods were
neglected.
▶ In the 1930s, Soviet production in oil, coal steel, mining, and military goods
increased.
▶ Across the nation, factories, hydroelectric power stations, and railroads
were built.
▶ Despite this progress, however, most Russians remained poor and endured
a low standard of living.

29. Summary
▶ In the late 1800s and early 1900s, autocratic rule and poor economic conditions
caused many Russians to demand political and social reforms.
▶ In 1917, this discontent led to a revolution that ended czarist rule in Russia.
Bolshevik leader Vladimir Lenin gained power by promising better economic
conditions and an end to Russian involvement in World War One.
▶ He then set up a communist government. After Lenin’s death, Joseph Stalin took
over and established a totalitarian state, in which every aspect of life was
controlled.
▶ Stalin’s five-year plans boosted industry but did little to improve the life of the
average worker. His collectivization of agriculture angered peasants, whose
resistance resulted in mass starvation.
