Pearson

imperialism

relates survival of the fittest of race & class to the direct survival of the nation (AKA better people = better nation)

 "S.D. is not to protect rights, it's to better serve & protect race."

Kipling

imperialism

response to US invasion over Phillipenes

Phillipians should control their own lives & not think the white man should have any say

mocks English-Americans for thinking they were doing the right thing; it wasn't just a warning, it was a heckle 

 Kipling sent this to Teddy Roosevelt in hopes of turning him away from imperialism, but he just dissed it hard

Orwell

imperialism

Orwell shot the elephant so he wouldn't look like a fool in front of the natives

shows destruction that colonialism brings during the imperial time of British India

elephants dying slowly represent imperialism torturing

Achebe

imperialism

battle between tradition & change

written for the West to show negatives of colonization-- from a new perspective

imperialism takes away from history; "story starts with white man"; they only tell the stories of others through their own point of view, rather than write the story of the natives

soft imperialism-- integrated, being nice, including, teaching

hard imperialism-- use power & force to get what they want, rather than cooperation with natives

Treischke

Lenin

WWI & Bolshevik Revolution

revolutionary theory led by Lenin calling for a strong core & support

seize power on the behalf of all Russians & the "greater good" for them all

Mussolini

Rise of Hitler

facist, supporting war & embracing violence

the state needs to have absolute rule

does not support materialistic ideas, capitolism, freedom, and the service by the people

Hitler

Rise of Hitler

Jews have too much power & control in Marxist, capitolist, and democratic societies

state should be embraced by 1 leader/dictator

propoganda good way of spreading ideas quickly

The Big Lie: because people lie about small things most, they do not expect to be told a large lie; his lie = Jews are taking over & thus need to be taken out

Linke

Rise of Hitler

Hitler is a very skilled public speaker & very charismatic

he could control a crowd to be enthused, happy, angry, any emotion; able to force whatver reaction he wants

Linke sees his mass & minority reactions, but none has a chance of logic, they were just tricked

she sees against Hitler & sees through him

Stalin

Rise of Hitler

kulaks = wealthy peasants

state wants to take over agriculture & send farmers to industrial work, in order to take land AND power

he's the one who took thei things

despite seeing the horrors he brought, he felt no guilt, his faith in Stalin never quivered

Levi

WWII

shows the different lives of those chosen to live and those to die

"luck was the only thing on your side"--not wealth, prefession, family, etc

the saved become GUILTY; they had to do something to be saved, even if it was inhumane

"waging war with memory"-- lies so extreme that nobody would believe them

Grey Zone: no set good vs evil or us vs them; it is few vs many

useless violence to scare & dehumanize

causes fear of communism

Churchill

Holocaust & Cold War

this causes the start of the Cold War

Nazi can't be spread because it's a race; communism is an idea, so it can & thus needs to be stopped

Kennedy

Cold War

speech that brought info of the possible nuclear war; he called for all nuclear weapons to be disposed of

people too scared of each other (ie Cuba's proximity to Florida)
