Chapter 22 Documents
22.1 talks about Mustafa Kemal Ataturk discusses and defends his reasons for changing some of the traditional aspects practiced in Islam. One of the main things he abolished was that of the caliphate, by which Ottoman rulers became the leader of the Islamic world. This speech occurred in 1927, when modernization was still occurring at a rapid rate for many countries. During this time, many Islamic countries had gained their own independence as rightful states. By modernizing Islam, Ataturk was not demolishing the religion entirely or the root of what made it its religion, instead he simply found the aspects of it that would conflict with progressing in the world and did away with them. In the image 22.2, Vietnam displays their pride and independence. Vietnam had been struggling with American interference and they were tired of it. As big as an underdog that Vietnam was, they stunned American military forces and reversed the power in their country.Communists supporters wanted to reunify their country and drive out the American forces, which consisted of half a million troops, and that is what they did. Visual 22.4 is the Palestinian Nation in the making. The poster shows a large man with a pickax in his arms maybe to portray that these lands belong to the Palestinians and they put the effort to survive off these lands and do not deserve to have them confiscated by Israelis. In this poster are three doves. These doves could symbolize peace and show how the land was theirs and should not be taken.

Chapter 22
By the early twentieth century, Asia and Africa has risen throughout the colonial world. Mostly men were involved and they were familiar with the European culture. They were deeply aware of the gap between its values and its practices. They no longer viewed colonial rule as a vehicle for their peoples progress as their fathers had and they had immediate independence. Growing numbers of men and women were receptive to this message. Veterans of the world; young people with some education but no jobs commensurate with their expectations. Each of these groups had reason to believe that independence held great promise. Struggles for independence was rarely cohesive of uniformly oppressed people. They struggled with one another over leadership, power, strategy, ideology, and distribution of material benefits. Africa's first modern nationalist was Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana. He quoted "Seek yet first the political kingdom and all these other things will be added unto you." But would winning the political kingdom of independence or freedom from European rule really produce "all these other things" release from oppression, industrial growth, economic development, reasonably unified nations, and better life for all? Almost everywhere, the moment of independence generated something close to euphoria.

Chapter 21 documents
Document 21.1 talks about stalin on stalinism. Stalin came to power and implemented change at a very rapid rate for the people of the USSR. He successfully, and rapidly, created a surging industrial society in order to catch up to the western nations of the world. Stalin focuses on highlighting the success of industrialization, with steel, automobiles, machinery, etc. As an absolute ruler, Stalin planned on enacting change whether the people of the USSR liked it or not. Implementing change in this way is what cause uprisings of the people. Those who did not agree with Stalin would now definitely be unsure about standing up to his policies after the way he treated the kulaks. Throughout Stalin’s time in power his main focuses were on implementing his policies, creating a strong military, and bringing the USSR up to the level of a world power. Document 21.3 talks abut the living through industrialization. not all people agree or have the same perspective of this industrialization since some of them were not seeing the benefits of it. The first letter in a newspaper of a Tatar electrician that express his happiness and satisfaction of being able to have the same rights as any other citizen and how much he was proud of the new achievements of his country. The 2 comments from factory workers found in soviet archives 1930s they complain how the media and newspaper hides the reality about the success of the soviet union and how people of high rank in society have the most benefits and privilege out of this soviet power. I believe that this economic and political changes bring with them good and bad consequences and most of the time lower class people seems to be the most affected by it.

Chapter 21
In the twentieth century communism was a phenomenon of enormous significance in the world. Communism regimes came to power almost everywhere in the wake of the war and revolution. Once established, those regimes set about a thorough and revolutionary transformation on societies. The modern communism found its political and philosophical roots in the nineteenth century European socialism. By the 1970s almost one- third of the worlds population lived in societies governed by communist regimes. The most significant were the Soviet Union, the worlds largest country in size, and China, the worlds largest country in population. Communist also came to Eastern Europe in the wake of WWII and the extension of the Soviet military presence there. Communist movements of the 20th century drew the mystique of the earlier French Revolution. Like this, the French communist revolutionaries ousted old ruling classes and dispossessed landed aristocracies. But the communist revelations were distinctive as well. In Russia, communist came to power on the back of a revolutionary upheaval that took place within a single year. That historic event opened the door for a massive social upheaval. This became a social revolution and it quickly demonstrated the inadequacy of the Provisional Government. In 1949, communism triumphed the land of China.

Chapter 20 documents
Document 20.1 talks about Hitler on Nazism. Hitler published his political views well before he came to power. In 1919, he joined a very small extremist group called the German Workers Party. That was where he rose quickly to a dominate role based on his powerful oratorical abilities. He launched an unsuccessful armed uprising in Munich for which he was arrested and imprisoned in 1923. He reorganised his party on his release from jail, but it was not until the world depression hit Germany that the Nazis were able to attract significant followers. In office, Hitler set about consolidating his power, appointing Nazis to government and gaining control of emergency powers. He eliminated all opposition, in the name of emergency control and, with the death of Hindenburg in 1934, Hitler's power was secured. After that Hitler put Germany's unemployed to work on a massive rearmament programme, using propaganda and manufacturing enemies, such as the Jews, to prepare the country for war. Document 20.2 talks about the Japanese way. Kokutai was an evocative term that referred to the national essence or the fundamental character of the Japanese nation and people. The national essence of Japan was defined as a loving, liberty based, and equal country. The author's stated Japan was better and didn't need Western ideas. The ideal role to the individual in Japan is being loyal, mostly to the Emperor. An individual is an existence belonging to the state, and their history is fundamentally one body with it. Japan states that they are growing and becoming more powerful. Their military is growing increasingly.

During the year of 1914-1918 WWI was taken place. It was known as an accident waiting to happen. In the early twentieth century, the balance of power was expressed in two rival alliances, the Triple Alliances of Germany, Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Triple Entente of Russia, France and Britain. The system of alliances intended to keep the peace created obligations that drew the Great Powers of Europe into a general war by early August in 1914. The outbreak of that was was an accident, but the system of rigid alliances made Europe vulnerable to that kind of accident. Also being a part of the war was an industrialize militarism. Europe's armed military men joined great social prestige and all of the great powers had substantial standing armies except for Britain, they relied on compulsory military. Another important note was the legacies of the great war. The great war shattered almost eat expectation. The war was to mock the enlightenment values of progress, tolerance, an rationality. The aftermath also brought substantial social and cultural changes to ordinary Europeans and Americans. Nonetheless, the war had loosened the hold of tradition in various ways. The war transformed international political life. And had generated profound changes in the world beyond Europe as well.
