Compare Chiang's Support Of Soviet Union Towards The Nationalist Party
The supporting of Soviet Union towards the Nationalist Party was quite surprising since Chiang did not have an affinity with Stalin. However, Chiang knew that he needed Soviet assistant more than ever, “Stalin’s interest in helping him resist Japan was also greater than ever” (Taylor 156). In May, Chiang pleaded for the quick delivery of additional aircraft. “Stalin quickly replied that the requested bombers would be send for ‘your great war of resistance.’” (Taylor 156).

    On the 9th of February 1946, Stalin stated that the next five year plans would focus on heavy industry and claimed wars with imperialism were inevitable. Stalin also made clear divides between capitalism and communism, alarming the US greatly. It is somewhat understandable that the US were alarmed by the speech, as it hinted that Stalin was seeking world reform and revolution. However, being held at an election rally, the speech needed to see Stalin win votes. In order to get elected , Stalin threw rash promises into the ring to satisfy the want and need of his voters. Truman’s personality could therefore be blamed for not recognising this well used political tactic as a bypass for votes, and not as a promise of attack on the…

    This further amplified the dislike that America felt against the Soviet Union. Finally, when the US ended the war in the Pacific by dropping two atomic bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan, the Soviet Union wasn’t made aware of this until after it occurred. This made the Soviet Union question if the US was going to drop the atomic bomb on them. They felt very betrayed that the US, their allied power, didn’t reveal crucial information relating to the defeat of the Axis powers during the war. This evidence shows how the continuous disagreements between the two world powers led to significant distrust.…

    Khrushchev’s vilification of Stalin in his address to the Twentieth Party Congress was meticulous in detailing precise failures of his predecessor’s rule. Above all, Khrushchev strongly elaborated on Stalin’s extremities, especially the cult of personality that he had built up over the years. The speech also in turn attacked ‘Stalinist repressions, arrests, terror and murders…[and] for bungling foreign affairs and mishandling the war’. Despite this, Khrushchev was cautious in limiting his other criticisms of Stalin, and it was this focus on him as an individual rather than of the overall Soviet system that defined the boundaries of acceptable criticism. As such, the speech sought to condemn Stalin without endangering the party’s validity or the system that had indeed allowed Khrushchev to rise to power.…

    The Soviet Union in the twentieth century was a tumultuous time for Russians who wished to speak their minds and for those who wished to stretch communism to the corners of the globe. With a government consumed by annihilating its opponents and censorship, Soviet writers such as Nikolai Bukharin and Grigori Deborin were compelled to depict the glory of communism or face the harshest of consequences. In “Down With Factionalism!,” Bukharin justifies his slander of Leon Trotsky in the battle to succeed Vladimir Lenin for the leadership of Russia. In Deborin’s “The Second World War,” he explains how the Soviet Union’s allies, England and the United States, let them down and how the USSR, alone, should be credited with saving Europe from Nazi Germany. Bukharin and Deborin rationalize soviet tactics through denouncing a political opponent and condemning capitalistic allies.…

    While the end of World War II brought peace and prosperity to most Americans, it also created a heightened state of tension between the Soviet Union and the United States. Fearing that the Soviet Union intended to "export" communism to other nations, America centered its foreign policy on the "containment" of communism, both at home and abroad. Although formulation of the Truman Doctrine, Marshall Plan, and the Berlin Airlift suggested that the United States had a particular concern with the spread of communism in Europe, America's policy of containment extended to Asia as well. Indeed, Asia proved to be the site of the first major battle waged in the name of containment: the Korean War.…

    In George Orwell's 1984, the strategies used by Oceania's "Party" to achieve total control over the population are similar to the ones emplaced by Joseph Stalin during his reign. Indeed, the tactics used by Oceania's "Party" truly depicts the brutal totalitarian society of Stalin's Russia. In making a connection between Stalin's Russia and Big Brothers' Oceania, each party implements a psychological and physical manipulation over society by controlling the information and the language with the help of technology.…

    On 1 October 1949, Mao Zedong, leader of the Chinese Communist Party declared victory over the Nationalist Party (Guomindang) and brought an end to four brutally long years of Civil War. The Communist victory in the Civil War has however, created significant debate among historians, namely: was a Communist victory inevitable and if so is it more sensible to see the Chinese Civil War as a Communist victory or as a Nationalist defeat?When researching these questions it becomes blatantly obvious that the Guomindang government led by Chiang Kai-Shek was riddled with problems and they are very much the cause of their own downfall. Widespread government corruption, spiraling inflation, loss of public confidence and intractable poverty are just a few of the failings the Guomindang afflicted upon the Chinese people. These monumental failings make a Communist victory seem almost inevitable, in that they just happened to be there to assume power as the Nationalists lost support and drowned in their own mistakes. In this sense it is more sensible to view the Civil War as a Nationalist defeat, rather than a Communist victory.…
