From Ardalan's Similitude To The Soviet Union

Decent Essays
The situation with the King of Ardalan seems to have some similitude to the Soviet Union. After World War II, the Soviet Union was forcibly converting the governments of surrounding countries into pro-communist establishments. This was a way to protect themselves from the United States’ strong anti-communist viewpoint. The kingdom of Ardalan has a similar setup, but with a different purpose. Ardalan has removed the rulers of Terrasen, another kingdom on Erilea, and oppressed the people in other kingdoms to secure the empire and rule of the King by setting up unopposable force, in a similar manner to that of the Soviets.

    In George Kennan’s Thesis “The Sources of Soviet Conduct”, Kennan addresses four key points explaining the motives and forces behind the behavior of the Soviet Union around 1947 and the impacts of this on the Soviet and the reactions of the US.
