In George Orwell’s novel 1984‚ the society was brainwashed and controlled by their government. They were stripped of their rights by "Big Brother". The government says they’re at war‚ but the citizens never hear of the enemy battles or see them on television. The government makes them watch certain programs‚ and always has them under surveillance. It is as if the people of this generation cannot do anything without the government having planned it already or them watching what the citizens are doing

A key factor to keep in mind when examining the Sino-Soviet dispute and its impact on foreign relations in South East Asia is that the region is characterised by shifting and fluid interactions and security arrangements (Yahuda‚ 1996: 9). This means coalitions can change‚ former enemies can become future allies and conflict is not easily defined.

In my interpretation‚ the biggest cause of ww2‚ based on the Munich Conference of September 1938‚ and Hitlers invasion of Czechoslovakia March 1939‚ was the Munich Conference --- partly. This because it proved that weakness in the face of aggression only brought more aggression; giving Hitler Sudetenland (September 1938) was solid ground and power provided for Nazi Germany; which will eventually break its promise (in march 1939) and attack the rest of Czechoslovakia.

“Britain followed a consistent policy towards Mussolini’s invasion of Abyssinia.” Explain whether you agree or disagree with this view.

The invasion in Normandy was one of the most important tactical movements during World War II that without the invasion‚ the war could have lasted longer than it had.
