Soviet Union Joseph Stalin
1,249 words
Joseph Stalin lived from 1879 till 1953. Stalin
was one of the most ruthless communist dictators
of all time. After Lenin's death, Stalin pushed
his way to the top and was set out to make the
Soviet Union into an industrial power. In 1928,
Stalin proposed the Five Year Plans, which were to
build heavy industry, transportation, and an
increase in farm production. This initial attempt
to industrialize the country was generally
successful, but collectivization was extremely
unpopular and was resist...

naivet of the Northerners is depicted in their
sincere belief that the traditionally absolute
monarch would willfully acquiesce to the
limitations on his power introduced by the
Constitution. Although the Northerners desired to
eliminate autocracy, they nonetheless harbored a
belief in the benevolence and broadminded of their
monarch. Muraviev, as did his adherents, sincerely

Dominant European State Imperial Expansion Imperialism
882 words
The word imperialism is now so loosely used that
it has almost lost real meaning. It may be useful
to offer a definition that might be widely
accepted: "the policy of extending a nation's
authority by territorial acquisition or by the
establishment of economic and political hegemony
over other nations. " That definition seems to
apply equally well to ancient Egypt and
Mesopotamia and to the European performance in the
late nineteenth century. But there were new
elements in the latter case. Previ...

George Orwell grew up a devout and dedicated
socialist in the British colonies of India and
even when he eventually studied and lived in
England. He was loyal to the beliefs and
followings of socialism's fathers, Karl Marx and
Friedrich Engels, the authors of The Communist
Manifesto and Das Kapital. However, when Orwell
saw the ideals of Socialism turned into vicious
Communism, taking advantage of and abusing the
lower classes that it was intended to help, he
could not turn a blind eye to the cr...

Russian Revolution Society 1861 1917
1,106 words
Between 1861 and 1917, Russian society had
undergone many changes. It is safe to say that
every aspect of that society had been some how
modified. These changes led up to the Bolshevik
revolution in November of 1917. Given the nature
of Russian society, was the Bolshevik revolution
unavoidable? Among the changes Russian society had
undergone, one starts off the whole chain of
events. This was the emancipation of the serfs, in
1861, by Czar Alexander. The emancipation freed 44
million peasants. T...

History Essay On the turn of the 20 th century
Russia survived economic and social crises. The
First World War expenditure exhausted economics of
Russia and this resulted in growing the amount of
poor in the country and worsening conditions of
living for peasants and working people. Hard
labour, low wages and semi-slave existence of
Russian working class led to social disagreement
between rich and poor in the country. The
ideological core was found in Communism, which was

King Louis Xvi Czar Nicholas Ii
577 words
Both the French and Russian revolutions occurred
because of two main reasons. Both of these
revolutions were the direct results of bad
leadership and a bad economy. These two reasons
along with other factors caused both of these
revolutions. Although they were both similar, they
also had differences. A difference between the two
is that the Russians had an unsuccessful "
pre-revolution" in 1905. Another difference
between these two revolutions is the fact that the
French turned towards...

19 Th Century Turn Of The Century

If it is admitted that the nineteenth century has
been the century of Socialism, Liberalism and
Democracy, it does not follow that the twentieth
must also be the century of Liberalism, Socialism
and Democracy. Political doctrines pass; peoples
remain. It is to be expected that this century may
be that of authority, a century of the Right, a
Fascist century. If the nineteenth was the century
of the individual it may be expected that this one
may be the century of collectivism and therefore

World War One Rise To Power

The Bolsheviks did not seize power they merely
picked it up It is true to say that the Bolsheviks
did not seize power but rather picked it up. The
process that ensured their seizure of power is
known as the Russian Revolution. This brought an
end to 300 years of rule by monarchical, the
Romanov dynasty. The Bolsheviks were too
numerically weak to overthrow a properly run
government. What they did have was ambition,
determination and a strategy to rise to an empty
seat of power. They were eager t...
