characters to symbolize leaders of the Russian
Revolution. The animals of "Manor Farm", the
setting of this novel, which symbolizes Russia,

Five Year Plan Coal Mines

No other nation has developed at a more fast and
alarming rate than Russia under the control of
Comrade Joseph Stalin. The Stalinization of
Communist Russia may have seemed brutal and
unjust, however, many historians agree that many
of Stalin's actions were completely necessary for
Russias industrialization. Some of the actions
taken included the Five Year Plan for Industry,
Five Year Plan for Agriculture, and rapid
urbanization. These are the three most important
aspects of transforming The Sov...

Atlantic Charter Cold War

Sorry no bib on this; it was an in-class handout.
This got me a 40 / 40 in AP History. There are
three main schools of thought that trace the
origins of the Cold War. The Orthodox view is that
the intransigence of Leninist ideology, the
sinister dynamics of a totalitarian society, and
the madness of Stalin (Doc 1) cause the Cold War.
The Revisionists claim that American policy
offered the Russians no real choice[and] the
United States used or deployed its preponderance
of power (Doc 2) and these...

wars" because they were fought by Soviet allies
rather than the USSR itself - along with
competition for influence in the Third World, and

strategy changed radically. The cold war was a
