New Social classes in early 20th century China
***Why did Communism begin in China?***
Politics in China following the Qing collapse were chaotic. Though the military created the Republic of China soon after, its control extended little outside its capital, and most of the country was effectively controlled by local warlords. In early 20th century China, the vast majority of the population consisted of poor farmers. The political chaos in China during this period made times even tougher on the Chinese. With the country in turmoil, some Chinese intellectuals looked to Russia - which also possessed a large population of poor farmers - and the Russian Revolution of 1917 as an example to follow.

- State control of the economy - Censorship of all media - Use of propaganda- spreading ideas to promote a certain cause - Indoctrination- The process of teaching a partisan point of view -Use of spies/secret police and fear
Techniques to obtain and retain absolute control:
All decisions made by Soviets the Soviets believe that a country needed to be capitalist before communist(needed a civilian uprising) Hence, the official line between the Communists and Nationalists Both parties wanted a united China, but they knew they would turn on each other
The Communist international

The Far Right Extreme-Not Extreme

The path to independence
Gandhi does not want to fight in World War II along side the British, so he and some of his followers were arrested, Jinna and the Muslims will fight with a British if the British if they promise to give them there own Independent state. The British accept Gandhi does not want this and tries to convince Jinna to reconsider, but Jinna beleved that having two separate states were necessary to have equal governments and peace Ghandi tries to convince him to stay by offering the Muslims full say in government. Though, Jinna does not reconsider WWII ended and India was home to the Hindus and Pakestan(and at theat time Bangladesh)was to the Muslims. When the Muslims and Hindus were travelling to India and Pakistan there was a lot of religous fighting, that killed lots of people. Siks and other religions typically chose to live in India. Today India and Pakistan= :( There is a border between India and Pakistan called Kashmir, that is mostly occupied by Muslims, and Pakistan wants to take it all for themselves but India will not let them. In Pakistan- it is very unifying for them to all not like India, the military has a country= the military controls Pakistan- they also have terrorists go in and hurt the Indian people in India because of Kashmir- In the Pakistan army Jihadists are attacking the army because they want everyone in the army to be extremist

Religion was discouraged and churches were closed 2. Children were encouraged to join youth organizations where they were taught attitudes and beliefs that Soviet leaders wanted them to have. 3.Streets and towns were renamed in his honor. 4. Portraits of him decorated public places creating a heroic an idealized image of him.
