Among these, the Communists Party is one of Chiang’s biggest concerns. In order for him to focus his Central Army on suppressing Mao and his Communist Party, “Chiang surrendered sovereignty and territories including Manchuria, Jehol province and sections of Chahar and Hubei province” (Crouch n.pg.) to the Japanese, ordered that “avoid any kind of incident which might provoke the Japanese” (Crossland 11), after the Mukden Incidents in 1930s. Because of Chiang insists of battling with the Communists, he “was kidnapped by Marshal Chang” (Steyn 45), “his own subordinates” (Crossland 11), “who wanted him to quit battling the Communists and take on the Japanese” (Steyn 45). Chiang was “held prisoner until he agreed to an alliance of all Chinese political factions against the Japanese” (Crossland…
In China between 1925 and 1950, the Chinese Communist Party was growing and taking over China with the support of the peasant class. The CCP allowed peasants a better life and was supported by the lowest class while higher class people like the landlords were chastised by the Party, and even with Japan occupying some parts of China, Communist ideas kept the peasant class strong enough to push the Japanese out. In the time leading up to the Chinese Communist Party taking over, Japan held power over parts of China. After World War I, Japan received Germany's spheres of influence. The Chinese people wanted to push the Japanese out and bring China to power.…

The outcomes of this warfare were death and destruction, martial law, and delay in highlands development schemes.…

In the 1949 election campaign, the liberal party attempted to ban the Official Communist Party of Australia, it was deemed unconstitutional, but showed Australians the government’s fear of communism. Prime Minister Robert Menzies stood strong and continued to rally against communism in Australia. We joined the Vietnam War in 1950 to try and stop the flow of communism as Australia, as a whole, believed in the domino effect where communism takes control of a country one by one. Another of the government’s responses was the ANZUS treaty and SEATO alliance. The ANZUS treaty included Australia, New Zealand and the United States of America, and meant that if one of the nations involved was attacked, the other two were obliged to help. Australia signed this because the government believed that we needed strong allies to protect us from communism. Communism in Vietnam has played a key role in the politics of Vietnam since independence, Marxism was introduced into Vietnam with the emergence of three separate communist parties; the Indochinese Communist Party, Annamese Communist Party and the Indochinese Communist Union, joined later by a Trotskyist movement led by Tạ Thu Thâu. In 1930 the Communist International (Comintern) sent Nguyễn Ái Quốc to Hong Kong to coordinate the unification of…
To this day, the story of the Indonesian Genocide is still relatively unknown. It is only partially told, and partly visible through a thick haze of trickery and deception. Between October 1965 and 1966, it is estimated that between 500,000 and 3,000,000 people were killed throughout various Indonesian islands, including Java, Sumatra, and Bali (the actual number will never be known for sure). The events that unfolded during this period were terrifying, disturbing, and make one wonder where the value of human life may have been misplaced.…
What did you think of when you encountered the word argument as you began to read this chapter? What do you think now?…
Arguments based on emotion work in different media by getting the audience to feel a sense of what the advertiser is trying to convey. The effectiveness of these arguments differ based on the promoter and what they are trying to present. For example, if the promoter is trying to get a message across through a book, they have to include something that might interest readers. Unlike books, if they are trying to advertise something through television, they include something that might interest people who like watching T.V., such as “couch potatoes” etc. The approach for magazines is different. If someone is already reading a magazine they are in for ads therefore it is much easier to grab their attention. However, arguments based on emotion vary significantly on websites. You can go from a positive response to an extremely negative response in a few seconds, therefore you must be careful. Certain things an ad might portray may go against what someone believes and will instigate “hate” comments which technically may not deserve that type of classification. Others may be able to receive the emotion the ad is trying to present and therefore the ad can be successful. Newspapers are an emotionally colder source than television news in my perspective because when you are watching the news, the reporters can sound a little enthusiastic, delivering the news in a hopeful manner. When reading the newspaper, you can only interpret it how you envision it and so if the tone of the paper is depressing, then it would be emotionally colder.…
Many important events in our nation's history were influenced by persuasive arguments. Many sides have gained support due to the writings or speeches gave by an effective speaker. These arguments take a lot to be effective. There are three key components, and if an argument lacks any one of them, it is not effective. Organization, diction, and bias words are all important aspects to any effective argument. Using these three elements, Thomas Paine was able to make a triumphant case, whereas James Chalmers' writing did not and was therefore ineffective.…
King Abdullah II once said”I look at Jerusalem as being a beacon for the three monotheistic religions”. The old city of Jerusalem represents many of fascinated religious and archeological landmarks. I went there when I was 13 years old. Anyone visited this city certainly he would visit the holy places for Muslims, Christians and Jews, met people divided in a different uneven quarters, taste the most delicious food they offer in their restaurants, and visit the museums in the city.…

Once Mao had won the Chinese Civil War 1949, China’s new communist government implemented policies that both benefited and confined China’s population. Throughout Mao’s reign as leader, Mao maintained his leadership through violence and manipulation, however, his acknowledgement of the gender and the social minorities brought China’s population certain human rights. Wanting to maintain a strictly communist government to suppress human rights as much as possible, Mao and China suffered economical failures. On the contrary, his strategies also allowed for Mao’s longevity as leader of the communist party until his death. Deng Xiaoping, succeeding Mao, looked for ways to not only maintain a communist government and his leadership like Mao, but…

As the attack continued into the thirteenth day, ammunitions on both sides were running short and on several occasions the Indian Air Force plane tried to drop relief material and ammunitions but were prevented by the Naga Army. At the same time the Indian Air Force jet fighters strafed the attacker’s positions. An Indian transport plane (Dakota) trying to drop relief materials and ammunitions to the besieged post was shot down by the Naga Army on the 14th day of the siege and crash landed at Zathsii, a paddy field of Meluri village. The Naga Army captured all the 9 (nine) airmen including Flt. Lt. A. S. Singh. This led to a heavy army operation in Pochury area by the Indian Army, who was on a mission to search and rescue the captured airmen, none of whom were ever tortured but were later set free through the Red Cross. In the process of the army operations to rescue the airmen many villages were burnt down and untold atrocities and tortures were inflicted upon the villagers. On September 1, 1960, 6 (six) villagers from Phor village were tortured to death. Their names are Lt. Türachu, Village Chief, Lt. Yutsüchu, Pastor, Lt. Chüpuchu DB, Lt. Yitüchu GB, Lt.
