Throughout history, in civilization and societies, men were seen to be superior to women. On the top of the pyramid, men controlled women of how they should think, act, and behave. In society, women are expected to be in charge of cooking, cleaning, and taking care of kids. Women are seen to be unable to work in a business or the industry because they are incapable of handling the business affairs because of their gender. They are discriminated because they were born as a female human. From the…

In 1914, build up of tensions among countries in the European system and surrounding areas led to the outbreak of World War I. This war, being the bloodiest in history up to that point, caused upwards of 25 million deaths and led to the rise of Nazism, Comintern Cold War along with many other major geopolitical events (Third International). The rising powers of Germany, the US, revolutionary Russia, and the declining supremacies of the United Kingdom, France, and the Ottoman Empire, allowed for…

Russia is getting weaker as oil prices drop, and as they lose their interests to the west, but as they use violence and no diplomacy to act on their own selfish needs, the international community or NATO will get involved. The hostile annexing of Crimea is still not recognized internationally. Both nations would be deeply hurt, for example Ukraine would not have its main sea port, and some major cities, the economy would die along with its people. Russia would get more territory and power, but…

During the period 1855 – 1956 Russia was involved in many major wars, all of which played an important role in its development. With the exception of the Second World War many of the wars Russia was involved led to defeats for them and these defeats exposed the weakness of the Tsar or government in charge. War outlined the flaws in the presiding system and highlighted Russia’s faults, and thus placed a spotlight upon the shortcomings of the Russian leadership. Such pressure prompted the Tsars…

As recorded in history, the Black Death began in the fourteenth century Russia near Crimea (History of the Black Death). The diminishing supply of grains, wheat, barley, and oats was the effect of the disrupted farming and trade patterns caused by war, and adverse weather conditions. Many populations plagued by malnutrition made them more susceptible to the disease. Signs of the Black Plague in Europe first began to appear around the fall of 1347 (The Black Death). Europe seemed to be in a…

taking place under the Pax Mongolica. Merchants traveling along brought the Bubonic Plaque from China and took it all the way to Egypt where it was then spread westward. In addition, when the Mongols attacked the Italian merchants near modern day Crimea, they spread the plaque from themselves to the Italians who then went on to spread it into Europe. Some Chinese records, even support the claim that the Black Death originated in Mongolia and was spread outward. If Chinggis Khan had never risen…

The study of international relations not only questions the global affairs of the past and of the present, but also of the future. Scholars such as Susan Strange and Robert Gilpin––whose arguments will be examined in this paper––sought to predict what the role of the state would be in the generations to come. By examining the function of the state through an international political economy perspective, the authors present their own predictions which are strikingly opposed to one another. Both of…

The Cold War was a conflict between the two Superpowers which emerged victorious from the end of World War Two. These powers were the United States of America (USA) and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). Even though there was no direct military action between the two countries, the 'war' greatly changed the political scene of Europe. In his GCSE text, PJ Larkin (1965) in his British revision book states that the Cold War was a “mixture of religious crusade in favour of one ideology…

It has been 25 years since the end of the Cold war, the silent battle between the West Capitalism and Russian communism. The ever constant threat of MAD (Mutual Assured Destruction) created the American culture of the fifties and so on. Those born into it were used to the bomb shelters, space race and the constant détente. The conflict of two political and ideological ideas that control most of the world will affect most of what the world would have been today. The surge and rise of massive…
