Chinese Protest (Tiananmen Square)
The 1989 Tiananmen Square protest in Beijing began as students mourning the death of former leader Mao Zedong demanded more political freedom. When the government refused dialogue, thousands of students began protesting in Tiananmen Square. In early June, the government declared martial law and sent tanks and soldiers to clear the square, killing over 2,600 people. Key student leaders like Wang Dan and Xiao Qiang were arrested or fled the country, while Wuer Kaixi faced criticism for opportunism. The protest marked a pivotal moment in China's political development and a crackdown on dissent.
1989 Chinese Protest In Tiananmen Square
In 1989, large student-led protests occurred in Tiananmen Square in Beijing calling for greater political reforms and transparency. The protests started with students mourning a former government official but grew to hundreds of thousands of students and citizens over seven weeks. The government rejected dialogue with protest leaders and eventually sent military troops to clear the square, resulting in hundreds of deaths and injuries. The protests represented one of the greatest challenges to communist rule in China but ultimately led to only limited reforms.
The 1989 Tiananmen Square Protests and Massacre
Students began peaceful protests in Tiananmen Square in May 1989 to protest government corruption, lack of reform, and economic issues. They built a statue of the Goddess of Democracy modeled after the Statue of Liberty. In early June, the Chinese military cracked down on the protests, killing thousands of protesters and arresting many others in what became known as the Tiananmen Square Massacre. Images of a lone man stopping a column of tanks, known as Tank Man, came to symbolize the protests and violent crackdown.
Vietnam conflict day 5
The document summarizes several anti-war organizations that formed in response to the Vietnam War between the 1960s and 1970s. It describes their origins, purpose, membership, and tactics. Key groups included Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) which organized large protests and teach-ins on college campuses, the Black Panther Party which advocated for racial equality and revolutionary socialism, and the Resistance which encouraged men to refuse the draft and burn their cards. Ultimately, most groups like SDS and SNCC disbanded due to internal disputes or pressure from authorities as the war ended and opposition declined.
Nixon and the watergate scandal
The Watergate Scandal involved the 1972 break-in of the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate office complex in Washington D.C. by burglars associated with President Richard Nixon's re-election committee. Two Washington Post reporters, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, uncovered evidence that the break-in and subsequent cover-up reached senior levels of the White House. The scandal grew to involve issues of abuse of power, obstruction of justice, and political espionage. It led to the resignations of several Nixon administration officials and ultimately, the resignation of President Nixon in 1974, the only U.S. president to resign from office.
The Washington March
The Birmingham and Washington marches were important for raising awareness of civil rights issues. The 1963 March on Washington involved over 250,000 demonstrators gathering to demand equal rights. It was a huge success as it brought national attention to the civil rights movement and put pressure on President Kennedy to take action. Martin Luther King Jr.'s iconic "I Have a Dream" speech emphasized the Christian values of brotherhood and hope and helped unite Americans around the cause of racial equality.
Student Protest Movement - Part 2
The document provides background information on the student protest movement of the 1960s. It discusses key events, organizations, and issues that students protested including:
- The Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) which advocated for greater student involvement in university governance.
- Protests against the Vietnam War as many students were drafted to fight. Opposition grew due to the rising death toll and US military tactics.

Tengowski - I-4 election of 1948
Truman's popularity sharply declined after becoming president in 1945, falling from 87% to 32% by 1946. In the 1946 midterm elections, Republicans gained control of both houses of Congress. Truman ran for re-election in 1948 against Republican Thomas Dewey and two third party candidates. Early polls showed Dewey leading, but Truman campaigned aggressively across the country. On election day, Truman defeated Dewey in an upset victory, becoming the first president to be elected after succeeding to the office upon the death of his predecessor.

Some of the scandals mentioned include Watergate, Travelgate, Troopergate, Climategate, Hackgate, and Monicagate. The document provides brief descriptions of each scandal in bullet point form.
Student Protest Movement
There were several key reasons for the growth of student protest movements in the 1960s. Students were dissatisfied with strict social norms and the ongoing Vietnam War. The civil rights movement inspired students to protest for equality and against racism. The emerging counter-culture embraced freedom of expression, music, drugs and sexuality. Rising student populations and expectations of change further fueled demonstrations against the government and universities.
The Birmingham Campaign
1) The 1963 Birmingham march, organized by SCLC, challenged the extreme segregation policies in the city and resulted in violent clashes between protesters and police. Images of police attacking children with dogs and fire hoses shocked the nation and the world.
2) Martin Luther King Jr. was arrested during the march and wrote his famous "Letter from Birmingham Jail" defending nonviolent protest. Over 2000 protesters were also arrested.
3) The violence in Birmingham persuaded President Kennedy to support civil rights legislation and helped lead to the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964, showing how the marches raised awareness and advanced the civil rights movement across the country.
The Development of the Red Scare
The document discusses the causes and growth of the Red Scare in the United States after World War 2. Key events that contributed to rising anti-communist fear and paranoia included the spread of communism in Europe, the Soviet development of nuclear weapons, China falling to communism, and the start of the Korean War. Within the US, investigations by the House Un-American Activities Committee and Federal Bureau of Investigation targeted suspected communists, especially in Hollywood and the federal government. This led to blacklists and prosecutions like the Hollywood Ten and Alger Hiss case, fueling further anti-communist hysteria and laws restricting civil liberties.

Women s suffrage (1)
The women's suffrage movement in the United States split into two factions in the 1890s over support for the 14th Amendment. The movement eventually reunified under the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) in the early 20th century. African American women joined the movement led by white women to ensure white suffragists would not win the right to vote and deny it to black women. The movement had both mainstream and more radical factions. Mainstream leaders like Carrie Chapman Catt argued women should support World War I to earn the right to vote after. Radical leader Alice Paul continued campaigning and protested at the White House, leading to arrests. The 19th Amendment granting women's suffrage narrowly passed the

Johnson.
Opposition to women protest movement
The document discusses the development of the women's rights movement in the United States. It provides context on key figures and organizations that advanced women's rights like Betty Friedan, Eleanor Roosevelt, and NOW (National Organization for Women). NOW aimed to achieve equal rights and end discrimination against women. The movement faced opposition from those who wanted to preserve traditional gender roles. A major point of contention was abortion rights and the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion nationally. The movement achieved some successes but also faced limitations that prevented goals like passing the Equal Rights Amendment from being fully realized.
Women Protest Movement USA
The women's rights movement developed due to growing dissatisfaction among women with traditional gender roles following World War 2. During the war, many women had taken on jobs formerly restricted to men, giving them a taste of independence. However, postwar society encouraged women to return to being homemakers. Over time, factors like higher education rates, more women in the workforce, and new social movements empowered women to demand equal rights and challenge societal expectations. Influential figures like Eleanor Roosevelt and Betty Friedan played key roles in advocating for women's issues and establishing organizations like NOW to advance women's civil rights.
Causes of failures (1)
The document outlines several administrative, military, and political reasons for the failure of the 1857 revolt against British rule in India. Administratively, there was a lack of planning and coordination between rebel groups, weak leadership, and an aging symbolic leader. Militarily, the British had superior weapons, ammunition, and communication abilities. Politically, the revolt failed to provide an alternative to British occupation, most princes and elites supported the British, and the revolt had limited geographic spread.
Sit-Ins & Freedom Riders
The document discusses sit-ins and freedom rides as campaign methods for the American civil rights movement in the 1960s. It provides background on key organizations like SNCC, CORE, SCLC and events like the Greensboro sit-ins and the freedom rides from Washington D.C. to New Orleans. The document evaluates how sit-ins and freedom rides helped spread the civil rights movement through non-violent protests, civil disobedience, and drawing attention to the issue of segregation through media coverage of attacks on peaceful protesters. Both tactics put pressure on authorities and led to some successes, like the desegregation of interstate transportation.
Reasons for the Red Scare
Captain America was originally produced in the 1940s to promote American patriotism during World War 2. He was fighting against the Nazis. Captain America was reintroduced in 1953 during the Red Scare and Cold War, suggesting he was now fighting against communism and the Soviet Union. The document discusses how Captain America's character and purpose changed to reflect the fears and ideology of the times in America. It prompts students to consider what Captain America represented during different eras and how superhero stories can be influenced by their social context.
Feminism (3)
The document discusses the history and goals of feminism through three waves. The first wave from the 1800s focused on suffrage and gained women the right to vote in 1920. The second wave in the 1960s addressed inequality, especially in the workplace, through movements like NOW and passage of laws like the Equal Pay Act of 1963. The third wave began in the 1990s and centered on issues like gender violence, reproductive rights, and unequal treatment. Each wave has contributed to both progress for women's rights and changing social connotations of feminism.
The Significance of Martin Luther King
Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination in 1968 had major consequences for the civil rights movement in the United States. As the most prominent leader and spokesperson, his death left the movement without its figurehead and main organizer at a pivotal time. It also sparked riots across many US cities and damaged the image of the civil rights movement. The momentum of the movement declined as support for it waned in the aftermath. The failure of Resurrection City, set up to continue King's Poor People's Campaign, further weakened the movement and its ability to stage large demonstrations. By the late 1960s, the civil rights movement had lost much of its prominence as the focus shifted to opposing the Vietnam War.

He enjoyed golf and spent significant time on the golf course while president.
Tiananmen Square 1989
The 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre occurred after weeks of student-led demonstrations in Beijing calling for democracy, free speech, and corruption. The Chinese government's decision to use military force against the protesters led to hundreds or thousands of deaths. Key events included Hu Yaobang's death sparking the initial protests, hunger strikes by students, Zhao Ziyang's visit and dismissal, the declaration of martial law, and the military's crackdown on June 3-4. Ultimately, Deng Xiaoping ordered the military action to crush the protest movement and ensure the Communist Party's control was not threatened.

T A Mpres-landy
The document summarizes the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 in Beijing, where hundreds of thousands of students and citizens gathered to demand democracy and an end to corruption. As the protests grew, the government declared martial law and sent troops to break up the demonstrations, resulting in hundreds or thousands of deaths as troops fired upon protesters in Tiananmen Square on June 4th. The event symbolized the Chinese people's desire for democracy but ultimately did not change China's communist system of government.

Lecture on Gene Sharp 1928
This document provides a summary of a lecture on Gene Sharp and nonviolent resistance movements. It discusses Sharp's theory of power, which centers on the idea that rulers derive power from the consent of subjects. It then summarizes Sharp's influence on several nonviolent "colored revolutions" in Eastern Europe and elsewhere since the late 20th century that utilized strategies and methods from his writings. These movements tended to be youth-driven and aimed at replacing authoritarian regimes with democracies.
Civil rights
Women played a crucial but overlooked role in the Civil Rights Movement. Historians have tended to focus on prominent male leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. while neglecting the contributions of women. However, women formed the backbone of the movement, organizing key protests and providing leadership. Figures like Rosa Parks, Fannie Lou Hamer, Ella Baker, Diane Nash, and Pauli Murray all made significant contributions, though they often faced resistance from patriarchal and gender-conservative elements within the movement. New interpretations are bringing greater attention to the vital role played by women in shaping the Civil Rights Movement.

MAY 4 marks the 35th anniversary of t...
On May 4, 1970, the Ohio National Guard shot and killed four students at Kent State University during a protest against the Vietnam War. This event marked a turning point that galvanized widespread opposition to the war across the United States. Over 5 million students participated in protests and strikes on college campuses in response. While the Kent State shootings have become iconic, the role of socialists and mass student mobilization in helping to end U.S. involvement in Vietnam has been omitted from many histories. The radicalization of the 1960s continued to influence social movements for years after.
