However, Ronald Reagan, U.S president between 1981-1989, was the most significant political leader to influence the ending of the Cold War. Reagan was able to encourage the end of the Cold War, more so than Gorbachev, through his unrelenting war on communism. He did this through his attitudes, actions towards the Soviet arms race and foreign policies. The way in which Ronald Reagan acted on his negative attitudes towards communism and his desire to destroy it, displays how he, more so than Gorbachev, influenced the end of the Cold War. Reagan, even before his presidency was displaying his anti-communist stance.
I will be talking about President Reagan’s Doctrine and some of what happened during his administration. President Reagan was our 40th President (Jan.1981-Jan.1989). During his time in office, the United States used their diplomatic resources to stop Soviet expansionism in the developing world. President Reagan wanted to overthrow pro-Soviet regimes, so his administration focused on supporting proxy armies to stop the Soviet influence (Roskin, 1999, p. 58). One of President Reagan’s biggest achievements was the end of the Cold War.
It is often said the Public get the politicians they deserve, in this essay I will examine whether the American Public elected a ‘Hero or Villain’. Richard Milhous Nixon was the 37th President of the United States, serving both terms, however was the only President ever to resign. I will examine Nixon’s political career leading up to his Presidency, his diplomatic work with the East, the handling of the Vietnam war, and of course the Watergate scandal Nixon’s Political career all started after Republicans approached the Lawyer and Serviceman to be South California’s congressman, which he accepted, and beat the 5 term democratic candidate. In Congress, Nixon sat on committee’s such as the Herter Committee. This took a very anti communist stance, where one report compiled by Nixon looked at the ‘Marshall Plan’ aimed at rebuilding Western Europe and more importantly, repelling communist ideology.
There are a lot of examples of how politics influenced the art of film. It engages in discussion of how Chairman Mao changed the way Chinese cinema produced films. Interestingly enough, he advocated for films with positive messages and that it can contribute political purposes. Rosen and Ying then go on to explain that the commercial/entertainment business and even the audience themselves was under constant pressure from straying out of the communistic ‘taste.’ The discussions in this book give me a lot of evidence on how Mao’s party influenced Chinese Cinema. Spencer, Norman A.
The scandal was made even more captivating by the obvious intentions of those in charge to cover it up. One such piece of evidence was the revelation of the White House taping system, and more notably the 18 and 1/2 minutes of a recording that was speculated to be intentionally erased. This became known as “The 18 and 1/2 Minute Gap”. The gap is believed by many to be the discus-sions of President Richard Nixon and his Chief of Staff H. R. Haldeman. According to Halde-man’s notes of their meeting that day, one of the topics of conversation was the arrests at the Watergate Complex.
The Vietnam War was a civil war fought between the communist north and the capitalist south. The USA got involved in this because they feared the spread of communism because of the domino theory. Domino theory is the idea that if one country was to fall to communism then the rest of the countries in the region. “The US leaders were very worried the Vietnam would be just the start of a chain of communist take-overs...This theory was called the Domino Theory”. China had already become communist and Vietnam seemed to follow.
“The shift in international balance of power was a result of rapprochement.” How far do you agree with this statement? To quite a far extent as rapprochement did play a role in changing the great bi polar power rivalry between Russia and the US to a multipolar world, with China emerging as a new superpower. The shift in balance of power was also due to the Sino-Soviet split which I believe to be of less significance in comparison to rapprochement Rapprochement between the capitalist US and Mao`s communist China led to ping pong diplomacy. Nixon secretly began talks with China in 1969. In April 1971 the US team was invited to China for the world table tennis championship, Mao stated “friendship first, competition second “.
The first event was the 1936 Xi’an Agreement. Before this agreement mainland China was in the midst of a civil war. The incident led to a truce between the Nationalists and the Communists so as to form a united front against the threat posed by Japan. The CPC won considerable support from the Chinese people for being open advocates of the anti-Japanese United Front. All this laid the foundation for the CPC’s victory over the Kuomintang after the end of the anti-Japanese war.
These refugees brought knowledge of iron smelting and iron use in sickles, plows, and weapons. Wiman Choson was a refugee in China and began to reign in 200 BCE. She forceably unified all of North Korea by 180 BCE by using advanced Chinese technology, such as the chariot. She also cut off Chinese from the supply of gensing in South Korea.

Considerable discussion revolved around how to understand and translate Jung’s term Self into Chinese. Following the event, a lively correspondence continued the discussion, and in his “Report on an IAAP Visit to China,” Dr. Stein quoted the following passage from one of my letters: “I prefer to use Zi Xing (self nature) to translate Jung’s Self. Zi Xing originally was a special term of
