Summarize the following in 2-3 sentences (taken from Freemanpedia)
At the beginning of the twentieth century, a European-dominated global political order existed, which also included the United States, Russia, and Japan. Over the course of the century, peoples and states around the world challenged this order in ways that sought to redistribute power within the existing order and to restructure empires, while those peoples and states in power attempted to maintain the status quo. Other peoples and states sought to overturn the political order itself. These challenges to, and the attempts to maintain, the political order manifested themselves in an unprecedented level of conflict with high human casualties. In the context of these conflicts, many regimes in both older and newer states struggled with maintaining political stability and were challenged by internal and external factors, including ethnic and religious conflicts, secessionist movements, territorial partitions, economic dependency, and the legacies of colonialism. ______

1. The Cold War was a rivalry between the ______and the ______that played out globally. 2. ______, at least as Marx constructed it, wanted to take over the world, and many Soviets saw themselves in a conflict with bourgeois capitalism itself. The Soviets saw American rebuilding efforts in ______and ______as the U.S. trying to expand its markets.
3. The U.S. feared that the USSR wanted to destroy ______and capitalist institutions. And the Soviets feared that the US wanted to use its money and power to dominate Europe and eventually destroy the ______system. Both parties were right to be worried.
4. Of all the geopolitical struggles between major world powers this time there was the special added bonus that war could lead to the ______of the human species.
5. Immediately after World War II, the Soviets created a sphere of influence in Eastern ______, dominating the countries where the Red Army had pushed back the Nazis, which is why Winston
Churchill famously said in 1946 that an “______” had descended across Europe.
6. While the dates of the Cold War are usually given between 1945 and 1990, a number of historians will tell you that it actually started during World War II. ______distrust of the U.S. and
Britain kept growing as they refused to invade Europe and open up a second front against the Nazis.
And some even say that the decision to drop the first Atomic Bombs on ______was motivated in part by a desire to intimidate the Soviets.
7. The Soviets would develop atomic bombs of their own—they successfully tested their first one in
8. From the beginning, the U.S had the advantage because it had more ______and
______and could provide Europe protection what with its army and one of a kind nuclear arsenal while Europe rebuilt. The USSR had to rebuild itself.
9. Europe was the first battleground of the Cold War, especially ______, which was divided into 2 parts with the former capital, Berlin, also divided into 2 parts. In 1948, the Soviets tried to cut off West Berlin, by closing the main road that led into the city, but the Berlin ______10. Then in 1961, the Soviets tried again and this time they were much more successful building a _____ around West Berlin, although it’s worth noting that the thing was up for less than 30 years.
11. The U.S. response to the Soviets was a policy called ______. In Europe this meant spending a lot of money. First the ______Plan spent $13 billion on re-building Western Europe with grants and credits that Europeans would spend on American consumer goods and on construction.

______” after Korea and especially China became communist, Vietnam’s movement toward communism seemed very much a threat to Japan, which the U.S. had helped re-make into a vibrant
16. But it wasn’t just Asia: The U. S. attempted to stabilize governments in ______
______; which led to some very unstable Latin American governments, and quite a lot of
17. And then there were the lukewarm conflicts, like The ______Crisis where British and
French paratroopers were sent in to try to stop Egypt from nationalizing the Suez Canal. Or all the

22. More importantly, Soviet policies were just bad: collectivized ______stymied production and led to famine; suppression of dissent and traditional ______made people angry.
23. But why the Cold War ended when it did is one of the most interesting questions of the 20th century. It probably wasn’t Ronald Reagan bankrupting the Soviets, despite what some politicians believe. The USSR had more ______states that it needed to spend more to prop up than the U.S. had to invest in its Allies. And the Soviet system could never keep up with economic growth

______, for instance, the communist dictator Ceaucescu held onto power until he was tried and put before a firing squad at the end of 1989. It took until 1996 for a non-communist government to take power there. In Yugoslavia, well, not so great… 1990-1997, Yugoslavia experienced civil war, ethnic cleansing, genocide, UN sanctions, war criminal trials…and would finally see the self determination on the Balkan Peninsula Woodrow Wilson dreamed of in his Fourteen Points. 30. Just twenty years later, it’s hard to believe that the world was once dominated by two

1. The 20th century was pretty big for China because it saw not one but two revolutions: one in 1911 and the more famous ______revolution of 1949.
2. So as you know doubt recall China lost the Opium wars in the 19th century, resulting in European domination, ______, et cetera, all of which was deeply embarrassing to the Qing dynasty and led to calls for reform.
3. One strand of reform that called for China to adopt European military technology and education systems was called ______-______, and it was probably would have been a great idea, considering how well that worked for Japan. But it never happened in China--
4. Instead, China experienced the disastrous anti-Western ______Rebellion of 1900, which helped spur some young liberals, including one named Sun Yat Sen, to plot the overthrow of the dynasty. 5. Sun Yat Sen, helped establish the ______of China based on three principles of the people:

6. So the 1911 revolution led to the end of the ______Dynasty when the emperor (Puyi) abdicated and a new government was created.
7. Localism reasserted itself with large-scale ______with small-scale ______ruling all the parts of China that weren’t controlled by foreigners.
8. So the period in Chinese history between 1912 and 1949 is sometimes called the Chinese Republic, although that gives the government a bit too much credit. The leading group trying to re-form China into a nation state was the Guomindang (Kuomintang) but after 1920 the Chinese ______
Party (CCP) was also in the mix.
9. An alliance between Communists and ______formed to reunify China. But then Sun Yat
Sen died in 1925 and the alliance fell apart in 1927.
10. This turned out to be a bad break up for a bunch of reasons, but mainly because it started a
______between the Communists and the Nationalists.
11. Even though ______Zedong emerged victorious, he and the communists were almost wiped out in
1934 except that they made a miraculous and harrowing escape, trekking from southern China to the mountains in the north in what has become famously known as the ______.
12. For much of the time the Guomindang was trying to crush the CCP, significant portions of China were being occupied and/or invaded by ______.
13. In spite of the fact that Chiang Kai Shek had extensive support from the ______each time the
Nationalists failed against the Japanese, their prestige among their fellow Chinese diminished. It wasn’t helped by Nationalist ______or their collecting onerous taxes from Chinese peasants, or stories about Nationalist troops putting on civilian clothes and abandoning the city of
Nanking during its awful destruction by the Japanese army in 1937.
14. Meanwhile, the Communists were winning over the peasants in their northwestern enclave by making sure that troops didn’t pillage local land and by giving peasants a greater say in local ______.
15. In a preview of things to come, in 1942 Mao initiated a “rectification” program. Which basically meant students and intellectuals were sent down into the ______to give them a taste of what “real China” was like in an effort to re-educate them.
16. Within ______years of the end of World War II the Communists routed Chiang Kai Shek’s armies and sent them off to Taiwan and these military victories paved the way for Mao to declare the
______of China on October 1, 1949.
17. So once in power, Mao and the PRC were faced with the task of creating a new, socialist state. Mao declared early on that the ______class in China would be the leaders of a “people’s democratic dictatorship.”
18. The PRC promised equal rights for ______, rent reduction, ______redistribution, new heavy industry and lots of freedoms.
19. Land redistribution and reform meant destroying the power of landlords, often violently. But centralizing power and checking individual ambition proved difficult for the government, and it was made harder by China’s involvement in the ______War, which helped spur the first mass campaign of Mao’s democratic dictatorship.
20. Between October 1950 and August 1951 28,332 people accused of being spies or counter-
______were executed in Guandong city alone.
21. Mao and the CCP set out to turn China into an ______powerhouse by following the Soviet model.
22. Under the Soviet system, Russia was able to accomplish massive industrialization-- not to mention tens of millions of deaths from starvation-- through ______planning and collectivization of
______, following what were known as ______Year Plans.
23. The Chinese Five Year Plans began in 1953 and the first one worked even better than expected, with industry increasing ______more than projected. In order for this to work though, the peasants had to grow lots of grain and sell it at extremely low prices which kept inflation in check.
24. For ______workers, living standards improved and China’s population grew to 646 million.
25. There was no way that China could keep up that growth, especially without some backsliding into
______. So Mao came up with the ______.
26. Mao essentially decided that the nation could be psyched up into more industrial productivity. He famously ordered that individuals build small steel ______in their backyard to increase steel production.
27. The worst idea was to pay for heavy machinery from the USSR with exported ______. This meant there was less for peasants to eat—and as a result, between 1959 and 1962, _____ million people died,
28. By the middle of the sixties, Mao was afraid that China’s revolution was running out of steam, and he didn’t want China to end up just a bureaucratized ______state like most of the Soviet bloc…so, the ______Revolution was an attempt to capture the glory days of the revolution and fire up the masses, and what better way to do that than to empower the kids.
29. Frustrated students who were unable find decent, fulfilling jobs jumped at the chance to denounce their ______, employers, and sometimes even their ______and to tear down tradition, which often meant demolishing buildings and art.
30. The ranks of these “______” swelled and anyone representing the so-called
“____ olds” —old culture, old habits, old ideas, and old customs—was subject to humiliation and violence. Intellectuals were again sent to the ______as they were in 1942; millions were persecuted; and countless historical and religious artifacts were destroyed.
31. But the real aim of the Cultural Revolution was to consolidate Mao’s revolution, and while his image still looms large, it’s hard to say that China these days is a ______state.
32. Many would argue that Mao’s revolution was extremely short-lived, and that the real change in China happened in 1911. That’s when the Chinese Republic ended ______years of dynastic history and forever broke the cyclical pattern the Chinese had used to understand their past.
