Half of the 130,000 ‘bandits and criminals’ that were rounded up were executed. A similar process in Shanghai led to 28,000 deaths. These deaths show a massive rise in violence in order for the CCP to get their way and remove China from the people that they do not want. To maintain control, Mao decided to get rid of a whole class;
Although many students were moved by the war, it also caused great changes to politics in the United States. It was an extremely trying time for student during the Vietnam War. Although you were able to avoid the war as a student once you graduated you were at risk for the draft. However, the war escalated and a Selective Service System operated on a lottery system was enacted forcing some students to join the war. These lottery systems lead way to college students using their campuses for large protests to stop the war in fear that if it continued they would be drafted (History and Records, 2009).
Eventually, due to the growing out-cry and violence stemming from the controversy, the Chinese Exclusion Act was passed by Congress to limit immigrant labors into the United States. The consistent, constant and progressive bombardment of articles with images of immigrants stealing what the white workingman was fighting were ways to reach common households. Images were means to show the enemy. The illustrations, for the most part, were crude caricature used to attack a race's stereotypes or general idea of what they stood to destroy. The media period before, during, and after the Chinese Exclusion Act in San Francisco was mostly meant to focus on what the immigration of Chinese was doing to the “American” way of
In Tacoma, six hundred Chinese residents were chased from their homes and their houses were burned, and in Rock Springs, Wyoming, twenty-eight Chinese men were killed and the remaining men were forced out. Many of those who were now homeless and unemployed ended up in San Francisco in the district known as Chinatown. (Films Media Group, 2003). Under the Exclusion Act, Chinese laborers were issued papers which allowed them to go to China and return to the United States. This changed in 1888 when the Scot Act made those papers invalid.

This rapidly increased the population and the government knew that this would cause radical ideas to spread faster amongst the people, therefore threatening the government. This fear of both the French and the Industrial Revolution caused the government to become very repressive in the years 1815 to 1820, forcing Liverpool to introduce policies like Habeas Corpus and the Six Acts which discouraged the people from the idea of revolution. The third reason why Liverpool’s government followed reactionary policies is because of the economic depression after the war. The government was in severe depression after borrowing a lot of money during the war with Napoleon. Therefore, they abolished income tax and introduced indirect tax which took tax directly from items like bread or clothes.
It can be argued that the Cultural Revolution strengthened Mao’s personal power, because one of the main outcomes was the weakening of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and their power. For example, Mao was able to blame the party for the outcome of the Cultural Revolution. The horrific deaths of half a million Chinese people. This enabled Mao to then put the blame on the party members, for being too enthusiastic about the movement. This can be shown by the fact that one outcome was the re – education enforced by Mao, that was made compulsory to the Red Guards, the youth league of the CCP.
Enrollments in colleges and universities were at an all-time high, and many students felt anguish in the efforts of college administrators to control outside aspects of their lives. Other liberals, becoming involved in the growing civil rights movement, were disappointed in mainstream liberals not highlighting their hardships and supporting their efforts to better their party. This led to the creation of the “New Left”, separately distinguished from the mainstream liberal and Democratic Party. Contrasted with the more hands-on approach of the Sharon Statement to attack the communist regime, with force if necessary, the Port Huron Statement stressed a system based on harmony and reconciliation. The statement found the economic sphere to resemble an educative, self-sufficient, creative one, opposed to the mechanically manipulated system that was currently in place.

They were ruthless, they killed thousands of Christians and they also attempted to storm the foreign embassies located in Beijing. Following a 55-day siege, the embassies were relieved by 20,000 Japanese, American, and European troops.
