However, China's revolution differed because the initial democratic establishment led to opposition from the Communist party while the formation of the U.S.S.R faced minimal opposition. In China, the Qing dynasty was ineffective, instead of trying to modernized as early as possible, it squandered what remained of its wealth and in doing so led to heavy losses in influence and power. Similarly, in Russia, The Tsars became ineffective, the decision to enter World War I had brought Russia to its knees socially, politically and economically. The Tsars also faced many scandals that would deface their influence in Russian cities. It was due to these reasons that both China and Russia were seeking to replace the government in power with new ones that would appeal to the population's demands.
He sought to negotiate a solution with them and insisted that there is no wider war. MacArthur's going public in arguing for war with China- General MacArthur insisted the U.S was fighting the Chinese and that it should attack China either by an invasion or a bombing of the border. He was warned by Truman more than once to keep his objections to himself. However in March 1951, he wrote a letter to House Republican leader Joseph W. Martin stating “There is no substitute for victory”. Shortly after he was relieved of command which caused a huge public outrage.
By the late 1960’s, the relatively recent established relationship between the USSR and China had deteriorated to the extent that disagreements resulted in armed conflicts. It is believed that this is due to the ideological differences between the two nations. The two leaders of the communist states, Mao and Khrushchev, were both in different depths of the Cold War, to such a point where Khrushchev was hoping for peaceful co-existence, while Mao thought of that as a betrayal. On the other hand, there are many other factors with may contribute to the breakdown in relations, such as their individual personalities and the cooperation of the USA. But which factor played the greatest role in the breakdown of Sino-Soviet relations in the late 1960’s?
If the Soviet Union were to gain more power than the U.S., that power would allow the Soviet Union to take over. The last reason for U.S. involvement is nationalism, which was also left over from WWI and WWII. Nationalism is having pride in one’s own nation. The U.S. wanted Vietnam to be able to have the chance of having nationalism, but something stood in the way. Communism had divided the countries of Vietnam, causing them to never be able to have Vietnam pride.
The United States was an alley with Russia so therefore, they wanted to protect China as well. The U.S. was upset at the threat to their allies but they also realized that the Japanese were violating the Kellogg-Briand Pact of 1928. Resulting from this, the U.S. threatens that if Japan does not leave China, they will have no choice but to stop trading oil with them. Japan declined the threat and continued to take over
But after the announcement it rose to 49.7%, an increase of almost ten percent!17 It is clear that the Nixon administration wished for the visit to China to affect the voting preferences of the American people and to make them see their President in a new light. Communists cannot be trusted. They have never been truthful. Why should they be truthful now? What would they gain by having the United States of America as an ally?
The Cold War is a war without guns and bombs amongst the Allies during 1945 to 1991, after World War Two. As the common enemy Germany and Japan were defeated, the balance between allies was no longer be there and a high level of tension was brought by the end of the war. USA and the USSR were the major two parties in the Cold War, their arguments were based on their different political opinions, which is capitalism and communism and it was the disagreement with each other caused the high level of tension between the Allies by the end of World War Two. The main difference between USA and the USSR is that they have a different point of view of politics. The USSR was a communist country and the USA is a capitalist country, just like China and USA now.
Another distinct event where their difference in ideology was clearly shown was during the Yalta Conference where the party declined strictly to have their say accepted about the liberal of the Eastern Europe. Stalin strictly insisted for Eastern Europe to be under USSR as they had given them aid as defeating Germany inwards her land but USA insist for them to have a free election and thus this results in the two superpowers to have a tension between them. Stalin’s continuation taking up action such as the Salami
This event resulted in the establishment of Communism in China. This conflict shaped the social and environmental processes of China; it transformed the social relationship status, culture, economic, and political processes within the country. The nature of the conflict has two different viewpoints of it’s own: one is that those who wanted to defend the status of moral, political, and economic arrangements that the National Party of China promote. Which gave the idea of anti-communist attitudes, and argue that the Communist Party is against freedom, and democracy. On the other end, those who supported the goal of the Communist Party, view the status as to create a classless, and stateless society on a common ownership of the means of production which aims for an equal social order for the people.
The Second World War had a radical effect on the political landscape in Asia. The crumbling of the Japanese Empire meant that many countries were left without any formal governing body. This power vacuum left the door open for the two main victors of World War Two-the United States and the Soviet Union- to expand and implement their influence in the region. The US wanted to prevent the further spread of Communism whilst the USSR wanted to establish strategic Communist allies in the region. Both sides eventually picked sides in the region and supported opposing forces.
