After the War

little has been said in the imperialist media about the 60th anniversary of the Chinese Revolution, especially considering that one-fifth of the world's people live in China and that it has become the manufacturing hub for much of the globe.

The history behind his name affected Kafka’s self-confidence and his writings as well. Even though he was born in Prague, he wrote

fighting during the Great War? (Discuss with references to one or more countries)   Before 1914, politicians and populations considered war as a cyclical and almost ineluctable phenomenon that periodically recurs with its attendant tragedies.

The majority of the military is used to be made up of men, though women have also been involved for a long time in the safety of their country. Today, they are present in each department and they represent 15% of the American strength. However women have been prohibited

International Relations Theory: Why War, Why Peace? What causes war? Why there is peace? Why there are inequalities in international relations? What types of institutions are more compelling to promote cooperation in the international arena? Such questions are fundamental to the study of international relations.

Cold War: Consequences of a Shattered Trust The Cold War, which was almost half a century long, was waged with good reasons. Tension back from World War I and continued throughout post-World War II set the stage for the Cold War. The Bolshevik Revolution in 1917 converted the Soviet Union into a communist nation, which allowed Joseph Stalin to come to power in the 1930’s. At first the Western powers rejected Stalin’s forceful ways, but during World War II an alliance was formed between Joseph Stalin
