A Plus e 1923 a 1936, los nacionalistas chinos realizaron varias guerras para alcanzar la unidad nacional. Al principio, combatieron a los gobernantes territoriales —los señores de la guerra— y después a los comunistas. En una ocasión, tanto nacionalistas como comunistas se unieron bajo el Kuomintang, el Partido Nacionalista del Pueblo. De 1923 a 1927, el Kuomintary trató de terminar con el gobierno de los señores de la guerra en las provincias. Para 1925, el Kuomintang había expulsado a los señores de la guerra del extremo sur de China; después lanzó una campaña llamada la Expedición del Norte. Su propósito era conquistar a los señores de la guerra que permanecían en el norte, liberar Beijing y unificar a China bajo un gobierno central. 1. Políticas de los zares 2.

Revolución de Noviembre de 1917 Sin embargo, por esa época, los nacionalistas comenzaron a temer los objetivos políticos de sus aliados comunistas. En consecuencia, en 1927, los nacionalistas, al mismo tiempo que peleaban en el norte de China, iniciaron un movimiento anticomunista entre sus propias filas. Atacaron bastiones comunistas en Shanghai y en otras grandes ciudades, y los dispersaron en las montañas de la región centrosur de China. Por último, en 1934, los comunistas, bajo la dirección de Mao Tse-tung, realizaron la Larga Marcha que duró un año y los condujo hasta las cuevas seguras del norte de China. Sin embargo, el enfrentamiento final entre nacionalistas y comunistas en el norte jamás se realizó. En 1936, la amenaza japonesa sobre China llevó a los enemigos a conjuntar esfuerzos una vez más.

He eventually became disillusioned with the Communist Party and left in 1938. His novel Darkness at Noon, published in 1941, is the story of the purge trials of the 1930s in Stalinist Russia from the point of view of an aging Communist revolutionary who has been arrested and imprisoned.

Many Indians grew angry at British domination of Indian life. Indian nationalism had been growing since the mid-1800s. Some Indians joined the Congress Party or the Muslim League. These were two groups that worked toward independence More than one million Indians served in the British army in World War I. The British promised to make changes to the government of India. These changes would give the Indian people greater control of their own nation. After the war, though, returning Indian soldiers were once again treated as second-class citizens. Reforms were not made. When Indians protested, the British Parliament passed the Rowlatt Acts that allowed protesters to be jailed without a trial. Western-educated Indians believed this to be a violation of their rights. About 10,000 Indians gathered at the city of Amritsar to protest this act in the spring of 1919. The British had also banned such public meetings. But the crowd was mostly unaware of that fact. British troops fired on the crowd. Several hundred protesters were killed. The Amritsar Massacre sparked further protests. Almost overnight millions of Indians changed from loyal British subjects to revolutionaries and nationalists.

He was like a powerful current of fresh air that made us stretch ourselves and take deep breaths, . . . like a whirlwind that upset many things but most of all the working of people’s minds. He did not descend from the top; he seemed to emerge from the millions of India, speaking their language and incessantly drawing attention to them and their appalling condition. Get off the backs of these peasants and workers, he told us, all you who live by their exploitation; get rid of the system that produces poverty and misery.

Previewing Main Ideas REVOLUTION Widespread social unrest troubled China and Russia during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Eventually revolutions erupted. Geography Study the time line. In what years did revolutions take place in China and in Russia? Previewing Main Ideas During this time, the gap between rich and poor, especially in Russia and China, was enormous. Growing resentment of economic injustice became a major cause of revolutionary activity. After World War I, leaders in Russia, China, and Turkey launched new programs to modernize their countries. Advances in technology boosted industrial production. These countries were then able to resist foreign control and to compete in world affairs. POWER AND AUTHORITY New nations appeared during the 1920s and 1930s in the former Ottoman Empire in Southwest Asia. These nations adopted a variety of government styles—from a republic to a monarchy. Geography According to the map, which new nations in Southwest Asia emerged from the former Ottoman Empire? EMPIRE BUILDING Nationalist movements in Southwest Asia, India, and China successfully challenged the British, Ottoman, and Chinese Empires. Geography According to the map, which European nations still control large areas of Southwest Asia? Accessing Prior Knowledge Ask students to recall what they know about the roles Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin, and Joseph Stalin played in the Russian Revolution and in the advent of Communism. In contrast, ask students to think of adjectives describing the nonviolent protests promoted by Gandhi.

Identify the leaders of the nationalist or revolutionary movements mentioned in the time line. (Gandhi, Mustafa Kemal, Stalin, Mao Zedong, Mussolini, Hitler) 864 Chapter 30 2. What large events were taking place during this period that may have contributed to social unrest and revolution around the world? (World War I and the stock market crash in the United States) 4. What kind of leaders often take over after revolutions? (dictators) 3. In what year was the last emperor of China overthrown? (1911) Which emperor was it? (Emperor P’u-i) 6. When did the Russian revolt begin? (1917, Bolshevik October Revolution) 5. Which dictator was taking over Italy during the time of Gandhi’s peaceful protest in India? (Mussolini) CHAPTER 30 History from Visuals Interpreting the Map Ask students to locate Turkey, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait on the map and note the size of these countries in relation to one another. As they will learn in Section 4, the oil discovered in this area made these some of the richest countries in the world. Why would the discovery of oil make a country rich? (Oil is needed to make petroleum, an essential fuel that commands a high price.) Extension Ask students to locate the Persian Gulf on the map. Interested students can research newspapers and magazines to find headlines involving the Persian Gulf over the last 20 years. Ask students to share their findings with the class. (Headlines may involve U.S.-led Persian Gulf Wars of 1991 and 2003 and ongoing conflicts over oil.) 865 RECOMMENDED RESOURCES Books for the Teacher Pipes, Richard.

Interact with History Objectives You believe that the policies of your government are unjust and oppressive. The policies favor a small, wealthy class—but the vast majority of people are poor with few rights. The government has failed to tackle economic, social, and political problems. Many of your friends are joining revolutionary groups that plan to overthrow the government by force. Others support nonviolent methods of change, such as peaceful strikes, protests, and refusal to obey unjust laws. You wonder which course of action to choose. • Set the stage for studying revolutionary activity in Russia, China, and India. • Help students understand revolutionary tactics and their impact. EXAMINING the ISSUES Mohandas K. Gandhi became the leader of the independence movement to free India of British rule. ▼ ▼ Mao Zedong, Communist leader, believed revolution would solve China’s problems. Possible Answers • To help students think about this issue, have students discuss why nonviolent groups might be perceived as either weak or intimidating. • Have students brainstorm possible outcomes resulting from the use of violence in revolutions. (Possible Answers: rapid change, deaths and injuries, long-lasting bitterness) Discussion Have students choose a revolution they have studied and discuss how the revolutionaries attempted to achieve their goals. They might discuss either the French or the American revolutions. Have students also note the nonviolent strategies of the civil rights movement in the United States and the protests against apartheid in South Africa. “Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat, for it is momentary.” “Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.” EXAM I N I NG the ISSU ES • How might armed and powerful opponents respond to groups committed to nonviolent action? • Which strategy might prove more successful and bring more long-lasting consequences? Why? As a class, discuss these questions. In your discussion, consider what you have learned about the strategies revolutionaries use to accomplish change. As you read about the revolutions and independence movements, see which strategy was successful. 866 Chapter 30 WHY STUDY REVOLUTION AND NATIONALISM? • The Cold War clash between Communist and capitalist nations was one of the defining events of the 20th century. • Many groups still implement the nonviolent principles of civil disobedience practiced in India in the 1920s. • Communist Russia and the Bolshevik Revolution have been the subjects of great works of art and literature. • Southwest Asia has been the site of controversy over crude oil, a natural resource essential for industry and commerce all over the globe. The Persian Gulf remains a hotbed of international conflict. • The principles of communism became powerful forces in the world. • The Communist movement begun by Mao Zedong had lasting impact on China and the world. In recent decades, China has rejoined the international community through trade and diplomatic relations. 866 Chapter 30 30 Assessment CHAPTER 30 ASSESSMENT Chapter TERMS & NAMES TERMS & NAMES Nationalism in India and Southwest Asia Briefly explain the importance of each of the following in Russia, China, or India.

The explosion came in 1917, yet the fuse had been burning for nearly a century. The cruel, oppressive rule of most 19th-century czars caused widespread social unrest for decades. Army officers revolted in 1825. Secret revolutionary groups plotted to overthrow the government. In 1881, revolutionaries angry over the slow pace of political change assassinated the reform-minded czar, Alexander II. Russia was heading toward a full-scale revolution. Czars Resist Change Alexander III turned Russia into a police state, teeming with spies and informers. ▼ Czars Continue Autocratic Rule To wipe out revolutionaries, Alexander III • Explain Lenin’s reforms and the rise of Stalin. FOCUS & MOTIVATE Ask students what the terms Red Army, Lenin, and communism bring to mind, and ask them to describe in detail any relevant symbols and images. TAKING NOTES In 1881, Alexander III succeeded his father, Alexander II, and halted all reforms in Russia. Like his grandfather Nicholas I, Alexander III clung to the principles of autocracy, a form of government in which he had total power. Anyone who questioned the absolute authority of the czar, worshiped outside the Russian Orthodox Church, or spoke a language other than Russian was labeled dangerous. • Summarize the Bolshevik Revolution and its outcome. Following Chronological Order Create a time line to show major events in the changing of Russian government. INSTRUCT Czars Resist Change Critical Thinking 1894 1922 used harsh measures. He imposed strict censorship codes on published materials and written documents, including private letters. His secret police carefully watched both secondary schools and universities. Teachers had to send detailed reports on every student. Political prisoners were sent to Siberia, a remote region of eastern Russia. To establish a uniform Russian culture, Alexander III oppressed other national groups within Russia. He made Russian the official language of the empire and forbade the use of minority languages, such as Polish, in schools. Alexander made Jews the target of persecution. A wave of pogroms—organized violence against Jews—broke out in many parts of Russia. Police and soldiers stood by and watched Russian citizens loot and destroy Jewish homes, stores, and synagogues. When Nicholas II became czar in 1894, he continued the tradition of Russian autocracy. Unfortunately, it blinded him to the changing conditions of his times. • Under Alexander III, what behavior would result in arrest as a political prisoner? (questioning czar, practicing a foreign religion, not speaking Russian) • What was gained by the czar’s censorship and strict policing?

The number of factories more than doubled between 1863 and 1900. Still, Russia lagged behind the industrial nations of western Europe. In the 1890s, Nicholas’s most capable minister launched a program to move the country forward. To finance the buildup of Russian industries, the government sought foreign investors and raised taxes. These steps boosted the growth of heavy industry, particularly steel. By around 1900, Russia had become the world’s fourth-ranking producer of steel. Only the United States, Germany, and Great Britain produced more steel. With the help of British and French investors, work began on the world’s longest continuous rail line—the Trans-Siberian Railway. Begun in 1891, the railway was not completed until 1916. It connected European Russia in the west with Russian ports on the Pacific Ocean in the east. Russia Industrializes Critical Thinking • What similarities do you find between the revolutionary movement in Russia and the socioeconomic situations in Latin America, Mexico, and China? (a harsh ruling class oppressing a lower class of workers and peasants) • What measures were taken to make Russia more competitive with Europe and the U.S.? (taxes raised, investments by foreigners encouraged, railroad built, agricultural reforms) Vocabulary minister: person in charge of an area of government, such as finance The Revolutionary Movement Grows Rapid industrialization stirred discontent among the people of Russia. The growth of factories brought new problems, such as grueling working conditions, miserably low wages, and child labor. The government outlawed trade unions. To try to improve their lives, workers unhappy with their low standard of living and lack of political power organized strikes. As a result of all of these factors, several revolutionary movements began to grow and compete for power. A group that followed the views of Karl Marx successfully established a following in Russia. The Marxist revolutionaries believed that the industrial class of workers would overthrow the czar. These workers would then form “a dictatorship of the proletariat.” This meant that the proletariat—the workers—would rule the country. In 1903, Russian Marxists split into two groups over revolutionary tactics. The more moderate Mensheviks Lenin (MEHN•shuh•vihks) wanted a broad base of popular 1870–1924 support for the revolution. The more radical Bolsheviks In 1887, when he was 17, Lenin’s (BOHL•shuh•vihks) supported a small number of committed brother, Alexander, was hanged for plotting to kill the czar.

More About . . . Bloody Sunday: The Revolution of 1905 On January 22, 1905, about Vocabulary constitutional monarchy: a form of government in which a single ruler heads the state and shares authority with elected lawmakers Rasputin 200,000 workers and their families approached the czar’s Winter Palace in St. Petersburg. They carried a petition asking for better working conditions, more personal freedom, and an elected national legislature. Nicholas II’s generals ordered soldiers to fire on the crowd. More than 1,000 were wounded and several hundred were killed. Russians quickly named the event “Bloody Sunday.” Bloody Sunday provoked a wave of strikes and violence that spread across the country. In October 1905, Nicholas reluctantly promised more freedom. He approved the creation of the Duma (DOO•muh)—Russia’s first parliament. The first Duma met in May 1906. Its leaders were moderates who wanted Russia to become a constitutional monarchy similar to Britain. But because he was hesitant to share his power, the czar dissolved the Duma after ten weeks. ▲ Soldiers fired on unarmed workers demonstrating at the czar’s Winter Palace on “Bloody Sunday.” In December 1916, a small group of young aristocrats plotted Rasputin’s assassination. They lured him to a mansion and fed him poisoned cakes. The poison apparently had no effect on Rasputin’s extraordinary strength. The conspirators then shot him several times. Assuming he was finally dead, they threw him into the Neva River. When his body was discovered three days later, doctors confirmed the cause of his death was not poison or bullet wounds but drowning. World War I: The Final Blow In 1914, Nicholas II made the fateful decision to drag Russia into World War I. Russia was unprepared to handle the military and economic costs. Its weak generals and poorly equipped troops were no match for the German army. German machine guns mowed down advancing Russians by the thousands. Defeat followed defeat. Before a year had passed, more than 4 million Russian soldiers had been killed, wounded, or taken prisoner. As in the RussoJapanese War, Russia’s involvement in World War I revealed the weaknesses of czarist rule and military leadership. In 1915, Nicholas moved his headquarters to the war front. From there, he hoped to rally his discouraged troops to victory. His wife, Czarina Alexandra, ran the government while he was away. She ignored the czar’s chief advisers. Instead, she fell under the influence of the mysterious Rasputin (ras•PYOO•tihn). A self-described “holy man,” he claimed to have magical healing powers. Nicholas and Alexandra’s son, Alexis, suffered from hemophilia, a life-threatening disease. Rasputin seemed to ease the boy’s symptoms. To show her gratitude, Alexandra allowed Rasputin to make key political decisions. He opposed reform measures and obtained powerful positions for his friends. In 1916, a group of nobles murdered Rasputin. They feared his increasing role in government affairs. Meanwhile, on the war front Russian soldiers mutinied, deserted, or ignored orders. On the home front, food and fuel supplies were dwindling. Prices were wildly inflated. People from all classes were clamoring for change and an end to the war. Neither Nicholas nor Alexandra proved capable of tackling these enormous problems. The March Revolution In March 1917, women textile workers in Petrograd led a citywide strike. In the next five days, riots flared up over shortages of bread and fuel. Nearly 200,000 workers swarmed the streets shouting, “Down with the autocracy!” and “Down with the war!” At first the soldiers obeyed orders to shoot the rioters but later sided with them. Revolution and Nationalism 869 DIFFERENTIATING INSTRUCTION: The March Revolution Critical Thinking • How might the results of the March Revolution have been different if soldiers had not sided with the rioters? (The general uprising leading to Nicholas’s defeat may have been prevented.) • Why did the Germans help Lenin return to Russia? (They believed Lenin’s protests would weaken the Russian front and help Germany win.) ENGLISH LEARNERS Clarifying Key Events Class Time 15 minutes Task Creating newspaper headlines Purpose To summarize key events Instructions After students finish reading the section labeled “Crises at Home and Abroad,” ask them to work in pairs to create newspaper headlines that summarize significant events. Encourage students to mimic the style and tone of newspaper headlines as much as possible. Ask students to read some sample headlines and note characteristics, such as brevity, shock value, and strong verbs. Have pairs trade charts with each other and use the textbook to write two or three lines of detail about each headline. Then ask volunteers to read their headlines aloud. Students might use this activity to sort out main ideas in passages where several events are discussed or chronology is difficult to follow, such as “The March Revolution.” Date February 1904 January 22, 1905 1914 1916 March 1917 Headline Russians Fall to Japan at Port Arthur Peaceful Protest Turns Deadly: 1,000 Dead Russia Enters the War Mystery Man Murdered Women of Petrograd Lead City in Strike Teacher’s Edition 869 CHAPTER 30 • Section 1 The Czar Steps Down The local protest exploded into a general uprising—the March Revolution. It forced Czar Nicholas II to abdicate his throne. A year later revolutionaries executed Nicholas and his family. The three-century czarist rule of the Romanovs finally collapsed. The March Revolution succeeded in bringing down the czar. Yet it failed to set up a strong government to replace his regime. Leaders of the Duma established a provisional government, or temporary government. Alexander Kerensky headed it. His decision to continue fighting in World War I cost him the support of both soldiers and civilians. As the war dragged on, conditions inside Russia worsened. Angry peasants demanded land. City workers grew more radical. Socialist revolutionaries, competing for power, formed soviets. Soviets were local councils consisting of workers, peasants, and soldiers. In many cities, the soviets had more influence than the provisional government. The Bolshevik Revolution Critical Thinking • What were the results of the destruction of existing social and political structures in Russia? (chaos, civil war) • What might have resulted from turning factories and farmland over to the workers? (satisfaction because workers no longer oppressed; chaos because workers were disorganized) B. Answer Russians lost their faith in the provisional government and felt no better off than when they were under the czar. Making Inferences Why did Kerensky’s decision to continue fighting the war cost him the support of the Russian people? Lenin Returns to Russia The Germans believed that Lenin and his Bolshevik supporters would stir unrest in Russia and hurt the Russian war effort against Germany. They arranged Lenin’s return to Russia after many years of exile. Traveling in a sealed railway boxcar, Lenin reached Petrograd in April 1917. The Bolshevik Revolution Electronic Library of Primary Sources • from Ten Days That Shook the World Lenin and the Bolsheviks soon gained control of the Petrograd soviet, as well as the soviets in other major Russian cities. By the fall of 1917, people in the cities were rallying to the call, “All power to the soviets.” Lenin’s slogan—“Peace, Land, and Bread”—gained widespread appeal. Lenin decided to take action.

In the opening pages of the novel, the title character reflects on the sweeping changes that have occurred. “He could remember a time in his early childhood when a large number of things 870 Chapter 30 were still known by his family name. There was a Zhivago factory, a Zhivago bank, Zhivago buildings, a Zhivago necktie pin, even a Zhivago cake. . . . And then suddenly all that was gone. They were poor.” Have students form small groups and read the three paragraphs under the head “Civil War Rages in Russia,” page 871 of this textbook. Based on what they know about the effect of the civil war, ask students to discuss why they think the Zhivago family lost their wealth. You may wish to show excerpts from the film Doctor Zhivago to reinforce the turmoil of the revolution. CHAPTER 30 • Section 1 the Bolshevik Red Guards, they took over government offices and arrested the leaders of the provisional government. Kerensky and his colleagues disappeared almost as quickly as the czarist regime they had replaced. More About . . . Bolsheviks in Power Within days after the Bolshevik takeover, Lenin ordered that all farmland be distributed among the peasants. Lenin and the Bolsheviks gave control of factories to the workers. The Bolshevik government also signed a truce with Germany to stop all fighting and began peace talks. In March 1918, Russia and Germany signed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk. Russia surrendered a large part of its territory to Germany and its allies. The humiliating terms of this treaty triggered widespread anger among many Russians. They objected to the Bolsheviks and their policies and to the murder of the royal family. Civil War Rages in Russia The Bolsheviks now faced a new challenge—stamping out their enemies at home. Their opponents formed the White Army. The White Army was made up of very different groups. There were those groups who supported the return to rule by the czar, others who wanted democratic government, and even socialists who opposed Lenin’s style of socialism. Only the desire to defeat the Bolsheviks united the White Army. The groups barely cooperated with each other. At one point there were three White Armies fighting against the Bolsheviks’ Red Army. The revolutionary leader, Leon Trotsky, expertly commanded the Bolshevik Red Army. From 1918 to 1920, civil war raged in Russia. Several Western nations, including the United States, sent military aid and forces to Russia to help the White Army. However, they were of little help. Leon Trotsky ▲ Red Army forces were victorious in the two-year civil war against the White Army. Causes and Effects of Two Russian Revolutions, 1917 Causes: Czarist Russia Effects/Causes: March Revolution Effects: Bolshevik Revolution • Czar's leadership was weak. • Czar abdicates. • Provisional government is overthrown. • Revolutionary agitation challenges the government • Provisional government takes over. • Bolsheviks take over. • Widespread discontent among all classes. • Russia stays in World War I. Born Lev (or Leon) Davidovich Bronstein in 1879, Trotsky was converted to revolutionary socialism at a young age. After serving time in Siberia for revolutionary activity, he took the name Trotsky. Later he brought superb talent and organizational ability to the Bolshevik cause. Following the Bolshevik takeover in November 1917, Trotsky became commissar for foreign affairs. History from Visuals Interpreting the Chart Point out that the causes begin with Czarist Russia in the left column, the effects of which are listed in the center column under “March Revolution.” Those effects in turn become some of the causes of the Bolshevik Revolution. Extension Ask students to choose one of the causes on the chart and write a paragraph explaining how it helped bring on the revolution.

Purpose To analyze the origins of the Russian Communist movement • What was the goal of the Red Army? Instructions Ask students to consider the origins of the Bolshevik movement and to analyze the reaction of other countries, particularly the United States. Students should then write a one- to two-page essay about the origins of the Russian Revolution. • What role did the soviets (local councils) play in the establishment of the USSR? • What role did Marxism play in the revolution? • Why did the United States support the White Army in 1918–1920, instead of siding with the Red Army? For an in-depth look at the issues, have students read the material on Vladimir Lenin in In-Depth Resources: Unit 7. 30 Section 1 HISTORYMAKERS Vladimir Lenin Russian Revolutionary “There is no other man who is absorbed by the revolution twenty-four hours a day, who has no other thoughts but the thought of revolution, and who even when he sleeps, dreams of nothing but revolution.”—another Communist, speaking of Lenin V ladimir Lenin was one of the century’s most important leaders. Unhappy and disillusioned with the Russian monarchy, he led a group called the Bolsheviks in a revolution that gave him control of the largest nation in the world. Born in 1870, Lenin was raised by two educated parents in a happy family. He showed intelligence and skill with classical languages. While in his teens, two shocks jolted his world. First, his father was threatened with losing his job by the government. Second, Lenin’s older brother was hanged for conspiring against the czar. Within two years, Lenin had read the work of Karl Marx and believed that Russia needed a Communist revolution. Lenin then began to write and to recruit new followers. He was arrested and served 15 months in prison followed by three years of exile in Siberia. When that ended in 1900, he traveled abroad, where he spent much of the next 17 years. During this time, he sharpened his ideas about Marxism. Marxism said that industrial workers, called the proletariat, were in a struggle against capitalists, the people that owned businesses. Eventually, Marx said, the workers would overthrow the capitalists and form a new society called communism. However, Russia consisted mainly of peasants and only had a small number of industrial workers. Marxists wondered how a workers’ revolution could occur. Lenin saw the role of the party as essential, and his group became known as the Bolsheviks. The Bolsheviks, he said, would lead the people to the revolution they needed. However, many Marxists found it difficult to accept Lenin’s iron rule. In 1912, he forced those who disagreed with him out of the party. World War I brought another crisis. Communists all over Europe ignored class loyalty and chose to fight for their country instead. They joined their nations’ armies to fight each other—not the capitalists. Lenin said that the war would help capitalists profit while workers suffered. He urged that Communists “transform the imperialist war into a civil war.” As the war continued, the Russian people suffered terribly. In March 1917, hungry, angry workers and soldiers overthrew the czar. Lenin and his supporters won permission from Germany to travel through German lands back to Russia. Lenin accepted the new temporary government but said that it was not revolutionary enough. He urged that power go to the soviets, which were councils of workers set up in many cities. His position grew dangerous. He was branded a German agent and was forced to live in hiding in Finland. From that base, he issued a stream of writings urging immediate Russian withdrawal from the war and for the government to give land and bread to the people. These cries gained popularity. In late October, he returned to Russia, disguised for his safety. He persuaded the party’s leaders that it was time to overthrow the provisional government but watched with alarm as no steps were taken. Finally, on November 7, 1917, the Bolsheviks overthrew the temporary government. The soviets chose the 47-year-old Lenin as their leader. Lenin quickly made peace with Germany, giving up large chunks of Russian territory. A civil war, though, still raged in Russia between the Bolsheviks and their opponents. However, Lenin’s leadership ensured that the new government would survive. With peace came the question of how to rule the new state. The country was named the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and the Bolsheviks renamed themselves the Communist Party. In Lenin’s last years, he struggled to prevent Stalin from gaining power. Lenin became ill and died in 1924. Questions 1. Drawing Conclusions What is the danger of Lenin’s idea of party leadership? 2.

DIFFERENTIATING INSTRUCTION: Date CHAPTER 40 Unit 7, Chapter 30 In-Depth Resources: Unit 7 Teacher’s Edition 871 CHAPTER 30 • Section 1 Russia’s civil war proved far more deadly than the earlier revolutions. Around 14 million Russians died in the three-year struggle and in the famine that followed. The destruction and loss of life from fighting, hunger, and a worldwide flu epidemic left Russia in chaos. In the end, the Red Army crushed all opposition. The victory showed that the Bolsheviks were able both to seize power and to maintain it. Lenin Restores Order Comparing World Revolutions In its immediate and long-term effects, the Russian Revolution was more like the French Revolution than the American Revolution. The American Revolution expanded English political ideas into a constitutional government that built on many existing structures. In contrast, both the French and Russian revolutions attempted to destroy existing social and political structures. Revolutionaries in France and Russia used violence and terror to control people. France became a constitutional monarchy for a time, but the Russian Revolution established a state-controlled society that lasted for decades. Critical Thinking • Why was Lenin’s NEP a surprising step, considering Russia’s history? (Russia’s czars did not allow free trade.) • How did Lenin’s Communist Party stray from Marx’s original concept of communism? (The Party became a dictatorship—one person in charge—instead of leadership by the people or proletariat.) Identifying Problems What problems did Lenin and the Bolsheviks face after the revolution? C. Answer Russia’s involvement in World War I, social unrest, political opponents, civil war, famine Lenin Restores Order War and revolution destroyed the Russian economy. Trade was at a standstill. Industrial production dropped, and many skilled workers fled to other countries. Lenin turned to reviving the economy and restructuring the government. New Economic Policy In March 1921, Lenin temporarily put aside his plan for a state-controlled economy. Instead, he resorted to a small-scale version of capitalism called the New Economic Policy (NEP). The reforms under the NEP allowed peasants to sell their surplus crops instead of turning them over to the government. The government kept control of major industries, banks, and means of communication, but it let some small factories, businesses, and farms operate under private ownership. The government also encouraged foreign investment. Analyzing Key Concepts Communism Introduce communism to students as a key to understanding Russian history after 1917. Communism was based on achieving equality through uniform distribution of food and products, not on the potential of each citizen to compete and earn. These ideals quickly broke down. Those who championed this social system fell victim to the desire for control and absolute power themselves. In the end, the people who were to be helped by the system suffered under the oppression of dictatorial rule. Communism Evolution of Communist Thought Communism is a political and economic system of organization. In theory, property is owned by the community and all citizens share in the common wealth according to their need. In practice, this was difficult to achieve. German philosopher Karl Marx saw communism as the end result of an essential historical process. Russian revolutionary Vladimir Lenin built on Marx’s theories and sought ways of applying those theories. Ultimately, however, Lenin’s communist state—the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR)—became a one-party, totalitarian system. This chart compares how Marx and Lenin viewed communism. SKILLBUILDER Answer Comparing and Contrasting Lenin included the peasants in the proletariat, used professional revolutionaries, and wanted a strong central government. SKILLBUILDER: Interpreting Charts Comparing and Contrasting How did Lenin’s ideas about communism differ from those of Marx? Marx Lenin • History was the story of class struggle. • History was the story of class struggle. • The struggle Marx saw was between capitalists and the proletariat, or the workers. • The struggle Lenin saw was capitalists against the proletariat and the peasants. • The proletariat’s numbers would become so great and their condition so poor that a spontaneous revolution would occur. • The proletariat and the peasants were not capable of leading a revolution and needed the guidance of professional revolutionaries. • The revolution would end with a “dictatorship of the proletariat”—the communal ownership of wealth. • After the revolution, the state needed to be run by a single party with disciplined, centrally directed administrators in order to ensure its goals. 872 Chapter 30 COOPERATIVE LEARNING “Interviewing” Key Figures of Revolutionary Russia Class Time 30 minutes Task Role-playing and writing about key figures of the revolutionary period Purpose To learn more about these historical personalities Instructions Divide the class into pairs. Each pair will select a key figure from revolutionary Russia to investigate. Examples include Nicholas II, Alexandra, Rasputin, Lenin, Trotsky, or Kerensky. One student will role-play the character while the other poses as a journalist/interviewer. Pairs of students should work together to conduct a believable interview and then write a newspaper story about the person. 872 Chapter 30 When students have completed their news stories, pairs should read them aloud. Audience members will then conduct a question-and-answer session, such as would occur at a press conference. Encourage students to think of questions relevant to the particular figure’s role in the Russian Revolution. Collect all interviews and bind them into one journal for display in the classroom. Have students come up with an appropriate name for the journal, and ask a volunteer to create a cover page. CHAPTER 30 • Section 1 Thanks partly to the new policies and to the peace that followed the civil war, the country slowly recovered. By 1928, Russia’s farms and factories were producing as much as they had before World War I. Political Reforms Bolshevik leaders saw nationalism as a threat to unity and party loyalty. To keep nationalism in check, Lenin organized Russia into several selfgoverning republics under the central government. In 1922, the country was named the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), in honor of the councils that Summarizing helped launch the Bolshevik Revolution. How did the Communist governThe Bolsheviks renamed their party the Communist Party. The name came from ment prevent the writings of Karl Marx.

The Communists organized Russia under a central government; renamed the country after the Bolshevik councils. SECTION Tip for Struggling Readers Explain that “a dictatorship of the proletariat” is another way of saying that the proletariat–the people–take over the government and create a new society in which people are neither rich nor poor. Stalin Becomes Dictator Stalin Becomes Dictator Critical Thinking Lenin suffered a stroke in 1922. He survived, but the incident set in motion competition for heading up the Communist Party. Two of the most notable men were Leon Trotsky and Joseph Stalin. Stalin was cold, hard, and impersonal. During his early days as a Bolshevik, he changed his name to Stalin, which means “man of steel” in Russian. The name fit well. Stalin began his ruthless climb to the head of the government between 1922 and 1927. In 1922, as general secretary of the Communist Party, he worked behind the scenes to move his supporters into positions of power. Lenin believed that Stalin was a dangerous man. Shortly before he died in 1924, Lenin wrote, “Comrade Stalin . . . has concentrated enormous power in his hands, and I am not sure that he always knows how to use that power with sufficient caution.” By 1928, Stalin was in total command of the Communist Party. Trotsky, forced into exile in 1929, was no longer a threat. Stalin now stood poised to wield absolute power as a dictator. 1 • Why did Stalin force Trotsky into exile?

Stalin was determined that the Soviet Union should find its place both politically and economically among the most powerful of nations in the world. Using tactics designed to rid himself of opposition, Stalin worked to establish total control of all aspects of life in the Soviet Union. He controlled not only the government, but also the economy and many aspects of citizens’ private lives.

In-Depth Resources: Unit 7 • Guided Reading (also in Spanish), p. 25 A Government of Total Control The term totalitarianism describes a government that takes total, centralized, state control over every aspect of public and private life. Totalitarian leaders appear to provide a sense of security and to give a direction for the future. In the 20th century, the widespread use of mass communication made it possible to reach into all aspects of citizens’ lives. A dynamic leader who can build support for his policies and justify his actions heads most totalitarian governments. Often the leader utilizes secret police to crush opposition and create a sense of fear among the people. No one is exempt from suspicion or accusations that he or she is an enemy of the state. Totalitarianism challenges the highest values prized by Western democracies—reason, freedom, human dignity, and the worth of the individual. As the chart on the next page shows, all totalitarian states share basic characteristics. To dominate an entire nation, totalitarian leaders devised methods of control and persuasion. These included the use of terror, indoctrination, propaganda, censorship, and religious or ethnic persecution. Police Terror Dictators of totalitarian states use terror and violence to force obe- TEST-TAKING RESOURCES dience and to crush opposition. Normally, the police are expected to respond to criminal activity and protect the citizens. In a totalitarian state, the police serve to enforce the central government’s policies. They may do this by spying on the citizens or by intimidating them. Sometimes they use brutal force and even murder to achieve their goals.

Thus, totalitarianism seeks to erase the line between government and society. It has an ideology, or set of beliefs, that all citizens are expected to approve. It is often led by a dynamic leader and a single political party. Mass communication technology helps a totalitarian government spread its aims and support its policies. Also, surveillance technology makes it possible to keep track of the activities of many people.

Indoctrination begins with very young children, is encouraged by youth groups, and is strongly enforced by schools. Propaganda and Censorship Totalitarian states spread propaganda, biased or incomplete information used to sway people to accept certain beliefs or actions. Control of all mass media allows this to happen. No publication, film, art, or music is allowed to exist without the permission of the state. Citizens are surrounded with false information that appears to be true. Suggesting that the information is incorrect is considered an act of treason and severely punished. Individuals who dissent must retract their work or they are imprisoned or killed. Tip For Struggling Readers When information is biased it means the person or people giving the information have added their personal opinion, withheld some information, or distorted the facts. Bias is central to propaganda. Stalin Builds a Totalitarian State Critical Thinking • What is ironic about Stalin putting the Bolsheviks on trial for crimes against the state? (The Bolshevik Revolution paved the way for Stalin’s rise to power; Stalin was originally a Bolshevik.) • Why did children report their parents to the secret police? (They were taught in school to trust educators and authorities above their own parents.) ▲ Members of a Russian youth group called Young Communists line up for a parade. Notice the picture of Stalin in the background. Religious or Ethnic Persecution Totalitarian leaders often create “enemies of the state” to blame for things that go wrong. Frequently these enemies are members of religious or ethnic groups. Often these groups are easily identified and are subjected to campaigns of terror and violence. They may be forced to live in certain areas or are subjected to rules that apply only to them. A.

CASE STUDY: Stalinist Russia Stalin Builds a Totalitarian State Stalin aimed to create a perfect Communist state in Russia. To realize his vision, Stalin planned to transform the Soviet Union into a totalitarian state. He began building his totalitarian state by destroying his enemies—real and imagined. Police State Stalin built a police state to maintain his power. Stalin’s secret police In-Depth Resources: Unit 7 • Primary Source: The Need for Progress, Speech by Joseph Stalin, p. 33 • Literature: from Darkness at Noon, p. 36 used tanks and armored cars to stop riots. They monitored telephone lines, read mail, and planted informers everywhere. Even children told authorities about disloyal remarks they heard at home. Every family came to fear the knock on the door in the early morning hours, which usually meant the arrest of a family member. The secret police arrested and executed millions of so-called traitors. In 1934, Stalin turned against members of the Communist Party. In 1937, he launched the Great Purge, a campaign of terror directed at eliminating anyone who threatened his power. Thousands of old Bolsheviks who helped stage the Revolution in 1917 stood trial. They were executed or sent to labor camps for “crimes against the Soviet state.” When the Great Purge ended in 1938, Stalin had gained total control of the Soviet government and the Communist Party. Historians estimate that during this time he was responsible for 8 million to 13 million deaths. More About . . . Artists, Writers, and Propaganda Art and literature became tools of propaganda, as Stalin ordered intellectuals to become “engineers of human souls.” Writers and artists who could successfully create works of propaganda were generously rewarded, often living better than the highest members of government. Russian Propaganda and Censorship Stalin’s government controlled all newspapers, motion pictures, radio, and other sources of information. Many Soviet writers, composers, and other artists also fell victim to official censorship. Stalin would not tolerate individual creativity that did not conform to the views of the state. Soviet newspapers and radio broadcasts glorified the achievements of communism, Stalin, and his economic programs. Under Stalin, the arts also were used for propaganda.

Schoolchildren learned the virtues of the Communist Party. College professors and students who questioned the Communist Party’s interpretations of history or science risked losing their jobs or faced imprisonment. Party leaders in the Soviet Union lectured workers and peasants on the ideals of communism. They also stressed the importance of sacrifice and hard work to build the Communist state. State-supported youth groups trained future party members. Religious Persecution Communists aimed to replace reliVocabulary atheists: people who do not think there is a god gious teachings with the ideals of communism. Under Stalin, the government and the League of the Militant Godless, an officially sponsored group of atheists, spread propaganda attacking religion. “Museums of atheism” displayed exhibits to show that religious beliefs were mere superstitions. Yet many people in the Soviet Union still clung to their faiths. The Russian Orthodox Church was the main target of persecution. Other religious groups also suffered greatly. The police destroyed magnificent churches and synagogues, and many religious leaders were killed or sent to labor camps. Achieving the perfect Communist state came at a tremendous cost to Soviet citizens. Stalin’s total control of society eliminated personal rights and freedoms in favor of the power of the state. Stalin Seizes Control of the Economy History Makers Joseph Stalin Joseph Stalin 1879–1953 Stalin was born in bitter poverty in Georgia, a region in southern Russia. Unlike the well-educated and cultured Lenin, Stalin was rough and crude. Stalin tried to create a myth that he was the country’s father and savior. Stalin glorified himself as the symbol of the nation. He encouraged people to think of him as “The Greatest Genius of All Times and Peoples.” Many towns, factories, and streets in the Soviet Union were named for Stalin. A new metal was called Stalinite. An orchid was named Stalinchid. Children standing before their desks every morning said, “Thank Comrade Stalin for this happy life.” INTERNET ACTIVITY Create a Web page on Joseph Stalin. Include pictures and a time line of his rule in the USSR. Go to classzone.com for your research. As Stalin began to gain complete control of society, he was setting plans in motion to overhaul the economy. He announced, “We are fifty or a hundred years behind the advanced countries. We must make good this distance in ten years.” In 1928 Stalin’s plans called for a command economy, a system in which the government made all economic decisions. Under this system, political leaders identify the country’s economic needs and determine how to fulfill them. DIFFERENTIATING INSTRUCTION: Rubric Web pages should • include highlights of Stalin’s life as ruler of the Soviet Union. • use pictures and/or photos. • be accurate. Stalin Seizes Control of the Economy Critical Thinking • Why did Stalin limit the production of consumer goods? (Money was put toward manufacturing steel, coal, oil, and electricity instead.) • Why wouldn’t people want to live on a collective farm? (no personal incentives, all labor was for the state) An Industrial Revolution Stalin outlined the first of several Five-Year Plans for the development of the Soviet Union’s economy. The Five-Year Plans set impossibly high quotas, or numerical goals, to increase the output of steel, coal, oil, and electricity. To reach these targets, the government limited production of consumer goods. As a result, people faced severe shortages of housing, food, clothing, and other necessary goods. Stalin’s tough methods produced impressive economic results. Although most of the targets of the first Five-Year Plan fell short, the Soviets made substantial gains. (See the graphs on page 878 for coal and steel production.) A second plan, launched in 1933, proved equally successful. From 1928 to 1937, industrial production of steel increased more than 25 percent. Stalin was born in Russia in 1879. His father was a shoemaker who drank heavily and was reportedly physically abusive to his son. His mother was a poor peasant who worked to support the family. His father died when he was 14, and Stalin was sent to an Orthodox Russian seminary. He was later expelled for studying communism instead of theology. Stalin was married twice and had three children. Both wives died, as well as two sons. His surviving daughter, Svetlana, defected to the United States in 1967. CASE STUDY 877 STRUGGLING READERS Using Questions to Find Main Ideas Class Time 20 minutes Task Turning headings into questions Purpose To find and understand main ideas Instructions Suggest that student pairs focus their reading by turning each heading into a question and then using the material below it and the subheadings to find the answer. Questions should begin with why, how, or what. Students should make a chart like the one shown and use it as they work through the section. In addition to finding main ideas in the text, students can record new terms or difficult words as they encounter them in the third column. Once students have completed the section using their chart, ask volunteers which words were troublesome. As a group, use context and prior knowledge to understand the words and help unlock the meaning of the passages. For example, the headings on pages 874–875 could be turned into these questions: Heading Question Answer Difficult Words A Government of Total Control What is a government of total control? State controls all parts of life Indoctrination, propaganda Totalitarianism What is Total, totalitarianism? centralized control Ideology, surveillance Teacher’s Edition 877 CHAPTER 30 • Section 2 An Agricultural Revolution In 1928, the government began to seize over 25 mil- lion privately owned farms in the USSR. It combined them into large, governmentowned farms, called collective farms. Hundreds of families worked on these farms, called collectives, producing food for the state. The government expected that the modern machinery on the collective farms would boost food production and reduce the number of workers. Resistance was especially strong among kulaks, a class of wealthy peasants. The Soviet government decided to eliminate them. Peasants actively fought the government’s attempt to take their land. Many killed livestock and destroyed crops in protest. Soviet secret police herded peasants onto collective farms at the point of a bayonet. Between 5 million and 10 million peasants died as a direct result of Stalin’s agricultural revolution. By 1938, more than 90 percent of all peasants lived on collective farms. As you see in the charts below, agricultural production was on the upswing. That year the country produced almost twice the wheat than it had in 1928 before collective farming. In areas where farming was more difficult, the government set up state farms. These state farms operated like factories. The workers received wages instead of a share of the profits. These farms were much larger than collectives and mostly produced wheat. Daily Life Under Stalin Stalin’s totalitarian rule revolutionized Soviet society. Women’s roles greatly expanded. People became better educated and mastered new technical skills. The dramatic changes in people’s lives, came at great cost. Soviet citizens found their personal freedoms limited, consumer goods in short supply, and dissent prohibited. Stalin’s economic plans created a high demand for many skilled workers. University and technical training became the key to a better life. As one young man explained, “If a person does not want to become a collective farmer or just a cleaning woman, the only means you have to get something is through education.” • What was so revolutionary about education under Stalin? (More people, including women, were given technical and professional educations.) • What were the expectations for women during this time? (get an education, work full time, maintain a home, have and care for children) Women Gain Rights The Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 declared men and women equal. Laws were passed to grant women equal rights. After Stalin became dictator, women helped the state-controlled economy prosper.

Examples are: indoctrination, propaganda, censorship, religious persecution, ethnic persecution, and police state. Students will create charts defining each word using context, prior knowledge, and other sources such as dictionaries and glossaries. Then have them give an example of each of the terms. An example of police state might be “Police listen to telephone calls.” 878 Chapter 30 After students have shared their charts, lead a discussion on what life might be like under a totalitarian state. Key Term Meaning Example Indoctrination Teaching the government’s beliefs All textbooks glorify Stalin’s ideas. Propaganda Slanted and incomplete information All books and movies present only the communist point of view. Plans, they had no choice but to join the labor force. The state provided child care for all working mothers. Some young women performed the same jobs as men. Millions of women worked in factories and in construction. However, men continued to hold the best jobs. Given new educational opportunities, women prepared for careers in engineering and science. Medicine, in particular, attracted many women. By 1950, they made up 75 percent of Soviet doctors. Soviet women paid a heavy price for their rising status in society. Besides having full-time jobs, they were responsible for housework and child care. Motherhood is considered a patriotic duty in totalitarian regimes. Soviet women were expected to provide the state with future generations of loyal, obedient citizens. Summarizing How did daily life under Stalin’s rule change the lives of women in the Soviet Union? D. Possible Answer Women had more educational and career opportunities, were forced to enter the work force, and were expected to bear children. SECTION Total Control Achieved By the mid-1930s, Stalin had forcibly transformed the Soviet Union into a totalitarian regime and an industrial and political power. He stood unopposed as dictator and maintained his authority over the Communist Party. Stalin would not tolerate individual creativity. He saw it as a threat to the conformity and obedience required of citizens in a totalitarian state. He ushered in a period of total social control and rule by terror, rather than constitutional government. Like Russia, China would fall under the influence of Karl Marx’s theories and Communist beliefs. The dynamic leader Mao Zedong would pave the way for transforming China into a totalitarian Communist state, as you will read in Section 3. 2 CHAPTER 30 • Section 2 Social History Ukrainian Kulaks Before 1917, kulaks were central figures in peasant villages. They owned farms, livestock, and horses. They were wealthy enough to be able to hire laborers as farmhands and had enough land to be able to lease parts of it. The Soviet government regarded kulaks as capitalists because they made their own living and prospered financially. This was considered anticommunist and regarded as a threat. Ukrainian Kulaks The kulaks in Ukraine (shown above) fiercely resisted collectivization. They murdered officials, torched the property of the collectives, and burned their own crops and grain in protest. Recognizing the threat kulaks posed to his policies, Stalin declared that they should “liquidate kulaks as a class.” The state took control of kulak land and equipment, and confiscated stores of food and grain. More than 3 million Ukrainians were shot, exiled, or imprisoned. Some 6 million people died in the government-engineered famine that resulted from the destruction of crops and animals. By 1935, the kulaks had been eliminated. Total Control Achieved Critical Thinking • Why did the people of Russia go along with Stalin’s regime?

Teacher’s Edition 879 CHAPTER 30 History through Art OBJECTIVES • Recognize how propaganda was used in Stalinist Russia. • Understand the tools used by a totalitarian leader to further a cause. Propaganda is pervasive in our society today. It is used to sell products and to persuade people to join groups and organizations. Ask students how they recognize propaganda in daily life. Encourage them to bring examples for the class to examine and discuss. You have read how a totalitarian government can use propaganda to support its goals. These pages show three examples of visual propaganda from the Soviet Union—low-cost posters, traditional painting, and altered photographs. Posters were mass produced and placed in very visible areas. They were constant reminders of Communist policy and guides for proper thought. Artists were required to paint scenes that supported and glorified the Communist Party. Even photographs were altered if they contained individuals who had fallen out of favor with the party leadership. Factory Poster ▼ FOCUS & MOTIVATE Propaganda “Help build the gigantic factories.” This poster advertises a state loan for the building of large factories. Developing heavy industry was an important goal in the early days of the Soviet Union.

The expressions of the diverse and happy crowd imply not only that Stalin has broad support, but that he is worshiped as well. INSTRUCT Critical Thinking • What message was Stalin sending through the posters? (Working for the Communist cause was a good and worthy thing to do.) • How could these posters help achieve Stalin’s goals for agriculture and industry? (The propaganda on the posters influenced people to work harder to achieve economic goals.) Woman Worker Poster ▲ More About . . . Propaganda The term propaganda is often used negatively to mean false or misleading types of persuasion. Propaganda may rely on a range of persuasive tactics—from factual evidence to outright lies. Soviet propagandists under Stalin made shrewd use of posters to create a new “reality”—an idealized vision of life in a totalitarian state. A translation of this poster says, “What the October Revolution has given to working and peasant women.” The woman is pointing to buildings such as a library, a worker’s club, and a school for adults. 880 Chapter 30 RECOMMENDED RESOURCES Books Videos Jahn, Hubertus F.

The Role of Propaganda All governments, not only totalitarian regimes, use propaganda to generate public support for their policies, political parties, and candidates for office. Advertisers and various organizations also use propaganda techniques. Ask students why recognizing propaganda is important. (Possible Answer: keeps people from being manipulated) 2 This altered image appeared in a 1949 biography of Stalin. Why Shvernik was removed is unclear—he was head of the Central Committee of the Communist Party until Stalin’s death in 1954. Antipov, however, was arrested during Stalin’s purge and executed in 1941. 3 This heroic oil painting by Isaak Brodsky is based on the original photograph, but only Stalin is left. Kirov was assassinated in 1934 by a student, but the official investigation report has never been released. Stalin did fear Kirov’s popularity and considered him a threat to his leadership. More About . . . The Lot of Soviet Workers The idealism of building the world’s first socialist state appealed to many Soviet citizens, especially in the 1930s when other nations were suffering from economic depression. Unlike the United States and Western Europe, no one was unemployed in Soviet society. And workers received benefits such as free education, free medical care, and pensions. Inclusion Tip 1.

Forming and Supporting Opinions Possible Answers: Posters—Easy to manufacture and could be placed where large numbers of people could see them; Paintings—A respected art form and all of the details of the image can be controlled; Altering photographs—Photographs appear to represent things as they are. If a photograph can be successfully manipulated, then it might maintain a claim to authenticity. 2. Comparing and Contrasting Possible Answers: Similarities—Both promote a strong position, try to persuade citizens and consumers to believe in the ideas or product, can be colorful and appealing, and may tell only part of the truth. Differences—Propaganda often distorts and lies. Advertising can be selectively truthful, but consumer reactions can reduce outright lies. Propaganda is usually used to “sell” ideas or beliefs. Advertising is usually used to sell products or services. Teacher’s Edition 881 LESSON PLAN 3 OBJECTIVES Poster of Russian soldier with flag, by N.

Its first great leader was Sun Yixian (soon yee•shyahn). In 1911, the Revolutionary Alliance, a forerunner of the Kuomintang, succeeded in overthrowing the last emperor of the Qing dynasty. The Qing had ruled China since 1644. Sun Yixian led the overthrow of the last Chinese emperor. ▼ Shaky Start for the New Republic In 1912, Sun became president of the new Republic of China. Sun hoped to establish a modern government based on the “Three Principles of the People”: (1) nationalism—an end to foreign control, (2) people’s rights—democracy, and (3) people’s livelihood—economic security for all Chinese. Sun Yixian considered nationalism vital. He said, “The Chinese people . . . do not have national spirit. Therefore even though we have four hundred million people gathered together in one China, in reality, they are just a heap of loose sand.” Despite his lasting influence as a revolutionary leader, Sun lacked the authority and military support to secure national unity. Sun turned over the presidency to a powerful general, Yuan Shikai, who quickly betrayed the democratic ideals of the revolution. His actions sparked local revolts. After the general died in 1916, civil war broke out. Real authority fell into the hands of provincial warlords or powerful military leaders. They ruled territories as large as their armies could conquer. 882 Chapter 30 SECTION 3 PROGRAM RESOURCES ALL STUDENTS In-Depth Resources: Unit 7 • Guided Reading, p. 26 • Geography Application, p. 30 • History Makers: Jiang Jieshi, p. 41 Formal Assessment • Section Quiz, p. 489 ENGLISH LEARNERS In-Depth Resources in Spanish • Guided Reading, p. 213 • Geography Application, p. 216 882 Chapter 30 Reading Study Guide (Spanish), p. 293 Reading Study Guide Audio CD (Spanish) STRUGGLING READERS In-Depth Resources: Unit 7 • Guided Reading, p. 26 • Building Vocabulary, p. 28 • Geography Application, p. 30 • Reteaching Activity, p. 45 Reading Study Guide, p. 293 Reading Study Guide Audio CD GIFTED AND TALENTED STUDENTS In-Depth Resources: Unit 7 • Primary Source: from “The Peasants of Hunan,” p. 34 Electronic Library of Primary Sources • from Autobiography of a Chinese Girl eEdition CD-ROM Power Presentations CD-ROM Electronic Library of Primary Sources • from Autobiography of a Chinese Girl classzone.com World War I Spells More Problems In 1917, the government in Beijing, hoping for an Allied victory, declared war against Germany.

(“imperialists, warlords, corrupt officials, local bullies and bad gentry”) What did Mao promise would happen to them? (They would stand before the peasantry, be judged, and possibly be killed.) of Hunan Mao Zedong (1891–1976), the son of a Hunan peasant, was one of the founders of the Chinese Communist Party in 1921. He believed that he could bring economic and political change to improve the lives of China’s rural peasants. According to the following passage written in 1927, what was Mao Zedong’s vision of the Communist revolutionary movement in China? D • What does this excerpt reveal about Mao’s character and personality? (Possible Answers: forceful, determined, charismatic, uninterested in others’ opinions) from The Peasants by Mao Zedong uring my recent visit to Hunan I conducted an investigation on the spot into the conditions in the five countries of Siangtan, Siangsiang, Hengshan, Liling, and Changsha. In the thirty-two days from January 4 to February 5, in villages and in county towns, I called together for fact-finding conferences experienced peasants and comrades working for the peasant movement, listened attentively to their reports and collected a lot of material. . . . All kinds of arguments against the peasant movement must be speedily set right. The erroneous measures taken by the revolutionary authorities concerning the peasant movement must be speedily changed. Only thus can any good be done for the future of the revolution. For the rise of the present peasant movement is a colossal event. In a very short time, in China’s central, southern and northern provinces, several hundred million peasants will rise like a tornado or tempest, a force so extraordinarily swift and violent that no power, however great, will be able to suppress it. They will break all trammels [restraints] that now bind them and rush forward along the road to liberation. They will send all imperialists, warlords, corrupt officials, local bullies and bad gentry [members of the upper or ruling class] to their graves. All revolutionary parties and all revolutionary comrades will stand before them to be tested, and to be accepted or rejected as they decide. To march at their head and lead them? Or to follow at their rear, gesticulating at them and criticising them? Or to face them as opponents? Every Chinese is free to choose among the three alternatives, but circumstances demand that a quick choice be made. . . . A revolution is not the same as inviting people to dinner, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing fancy needlework; it cannot be anything so refined, so calm and gentle, or so mild, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous [generous in forgiving]. A revolution is an uprising, an act of violence whereby one class overthrows another. A rural revolution is a revolution by which the peasantry overthrows the authority of the feudal landlord class. If the peasants do not use the maximum of their strength, they can never overthrow the authority of the landlords which has been deeply rooted for thousands of years. In the rural areas, there must be a great, fervent revolutionary upsurge, which alone can arouse hundreds and thousands of people to form a great force. . . . from Mao Tse-tung, Selected Works, Vol. I (New York: International Publishers, 1954), 21–22, 27.

Answer imperialism, militarism, corrupt officialdom, village bosses, and evil gentry Yixian and his Nationalist Party set up a government in south China. Like the Communists, Sun became disillusioned with the Western democracies that refused to support his struggling government. Sun decided to ally the Kuomintang with the newly formed Communist Party. He hoped to unite all the revolutionary groups for common action. Lenin seized the opportunity to help China’s Nationalist government. In 1923, he sent military advisers and equipment to the Nationalists in return for allowing the Chinese Communists to join the Kuomintang. Electronic Library of Primary Sources • from Autobiography of a Chinese Girl Peasants Align with the Communists After Sun Yixian died in 1925, Jiang Jieshi (jee•ahng jee•shee), formerly called Chiang Kai-shek, headed the Kuomintang. Jiang was the son of a middle-class merchant. Many of Jiang’s followers were bankers and businesspeople. Like Jiang, they feared the Communists’ goal of creating a socialist economy modeled after the Soviet Union’s. Jiang had promised democracy and political rights to all Chinese. Yet his government became steadily less democratic and more corrupt. Most peasants believed that Jiang was doing little to improve their lives. As a result, many peasants threw their support to the Chinese Communist Party. To enlist the support of the peasants, Mao divided land that the Communists won among the local farmers. More About . . . Mao’s Guerrilla Tactics From his mountain hideout, Mao waged guerrilla war against Jiang’s armies. He outlined his strategy: 1. Retreat when the enemy advances. 2. Harass when the enemy encamps. 3. Attack when the enemy hesitates. ▲ Jiang Jieshi and the Nationalist forces united China under one government in 1928. 4. Pursue when the enemy retreats. Such tactics were possible only with the support of local peasants. Civil War Rages in China Critical Thinking Nationalists and Communists Clash At first, Jiang put aside his differences with the Communists. Together Jiang’s Nationalist forces and the Communists successfully fought the warlords. Soon afterward, though, he turned against the Communists. In April 1927, Nationalist troops and armed gangs moved into Shanghai. They killed many Communist leaders and trade union members in the city streets. Similar killings took place in other cities. The Nationalists nearly wiped out the Chinese Communist Party. In 1928, Jiang became president of the Nationalist Republic of China. Great Britain and the United States both formally recognized the new government. Because of the slaughter of Communists at Shanghai, the Soviet Union did not. Jiang’s treachery also had long-term effects. The Communists’ deep-seated rage over the massacre erupted in a civil war that would last until 1949. Civil War Rages in China • What do you think is meant by the phrase “swimming in the peasant sea”? (Possible Answer: being among the millions of peasants) • Did Jiang and Mao resolve their differences? (There was no resolution; the Japanese invasion forced a truce between the sides.) By 1930, Nationalists and Communists were fighting a bloody civil war. Mao and other Communist leaders established themselves in the hills of south-central China. Mao referred to this tactic of taking his revolution to the countryside as “swimming in the peasant sea.” He recruited the peasants to join his Red Army. He then trained them in guerrilla warfare. Nationalists attacked the Communists repeatedly but failed to drive them out. The Long March In 1933, Jiang gathered an army of at least 700,000 men. Jiang’s army then surrounded the Communists’ mountain stronghold.

At first, they battled territorial rulers—warlords—and later they fought local Communists. At one time, both Nationalists and Communists were united in the Kuomintang, the Nationalist People’s Party. From 1923 to 1927, the party battled to end warlord rule in the provinces. By 1925 the Kuomintang had driven the warlords out of extreme southern China in 1925 and then launched a campaign called the Northern Expedition. Its goal was to conquer the remaining warlords to the north, free Beijing, and bring China under one government. Chinese Civil War, 1923 –1936 At this time, however, the Nationalists came to fear the political goals of their Communist allies. As a result, the Nationalists, while fighting in northern China in 1927, began an anti-Communist drive in their own ranks. Nationalists attacked Communist strongholds in Shanghai and other large cities. They drove them into scattered bases in the hills of south-central China. Finally, in 1934, the Communists under Mao Zedong embarked on the year-long, life-and-death Long March into the protective caves of northern China. A final confrontation between Nationalists and Communists in the north never took place, however.

The march covered 6,000 miles, about the distance from New York to San Francisco and back again. They crossed miles of swampland. They slept sitting up, leaning backto-back in pairs, to keep from sinking into the mud and drowning. In total, the Communists crossed 18 mountain ranges and 24 rivers in their yearlong flight from the Nationalist forces.

Three Principles of the People Sun believed the principles could be broken down and achieved this way: • Nationalism: initially opposition to the Qing dynasty, later referring to identity for minorities within China as well as for the country as a whole • Democracy: also called “rights of the people”; Sun thought this could be achieved through a government run by election, initiative, and referendum • Socialism: also called “people’s livelihood”; thought to have meant equal land ownership through taxation ▲ A Japanese landing party approaches the Chinese mainland. The invasion forced Mao and Jiang to join forces to fight the Japanese. SECTION ASSESS 3 Communist Party leaders realized that they faced defeat. In a daring move, 100,000 Communist forces fled. They began a hazardous, 6,000-mile-long journey called the Long March. Between 1934 and 1935, the Communists kept only a step ahead of Jiang’s forces. Thousands died from hunger, cold, exposure, and battle wounds. Finally, after a little more than a year, Mao and the seven or eight thousand Communist survivors settled in caves in northwestern China. There they gained new followers. Meanwhile, as civil war between Nationalists and Communists raged, Japan invaded China. Civil War Suspended In 1931, as Chinese fought Chinese, the Japanese watched the power struggles with rising interest. Japanese forces took advantage of China’s weakening situation. They invaded Manchuria, an industrialized province in the northeast part of China. In 1937, the Japanese launched an all-out invasion of China. Massive bombings of villages and cities killed thousands of Chinese. The destruction of farms caused many more to die of starvation. By 1938, Japan held control of a large part of China. The Japanese threat forced an uneasy truce between Jiang’s and Mao’s forces. The civil war gradually ground to a halt as Nationalists and Communists temporarily united to fight the Japanese. The National Assembly further agreed to promote changes outlined in Sun Yixian’s “Three Principles of the People”—nationalism, democracy, and people’s livelihood. As you will learn in Section 4, similar principles were also serving as a guiding force in India and Southwest Asia. Recognizing Effects What were the results of the Long March? C.

SETTING THE STAGE As you learned in Chapter 29, the end of World War I broke up the Ottoman Empire. The British Empire, which controlled India, began to show signs of cracking. The weakening of these empires stirred nationalist activity in India, Turkey, and some Southwest Asian countries. Indian nationalism had been growing since the mid-1800s. Many upper-class Indians who attended British schools learned European views of nationalism and democracy. They began to apply these political ideas to their own country. Indian Nationalism Grows Ali Jinnah, leader of the Muslim League of India, fought for Indian independence from Great Britain. ▼ INSTRUCT TAKING NOTES Two groups formed to rid India of foreign rule: the primarily Hindu Indian National Congress, or Congress Party, in 1885, and the Muslim League in 1906. Though deep divisions existed between Hindus and Muslims, they found common ground. They shared the heritage of British rule and an understanding of democratic ideals. These two groups both worked toward the goal of independence from the British. Categorizing Create a web diagram identifying the styles of government adopted by nations in this section. Iran Turkey World War I Increases Nationalist Activity Until World War I, the vast major- ity of Indians had little interest in nationalism. The situation changed as over a million Indians enlisted in the British army. In return for their service, the British government promised reforms that would eventually lead to self-government. In 1918, Indian troops returned home from the war. They expected Britain to fulfill its promise. Instead, they were once again treated as second-class citizens. Radical nationalists carried out acts of violence to show their hatred of British rule. To curb dissent, in 1919 the British passed the Rowlatt Acts. These laws allowed the government to jail protesters without trial for as long as two years. To Western-educated Indians, denial of a trial by jury violated their individual rights. styles of government India S Saudi Arabia Amritsar Massacre To protest the Rowlatt Acts, around 10,000 Hindus and Muslims flocked to Amritsar, a major city in the Punjab, in the spring of 1919.

A small group of nationalists were also on the scene. The demonstration, especially the alliance of Hindus and Muslims, alarmed the British. Most people at the gathering were unaware that the British government had banned public meetings. However, the British commander at Amritsar believed they were openly defying the ban. He ordered his troops to fire on the crowd without warning. The shooting continued for ten minutes. Unable to escape from the enclosed courtyard, nearly 400 Indians died and about 1,200 were wounded. News of the slaughter, called the Amritsar Massacre, sparked an explosion of anger across India. Almost overnight, millions of Indians changed from loyal British subjects into nationalists. These Indians demanded independence. Gandhi’s Tactics of Nonviolence Critical Thinking • Why was civil disobedience a popular solution for Indians? (They felt helpless to fight the British physically.) • How did the media influence the Indian independence movement? (Support increased when newspapers worldwide reported the attack on peaceful Salt March protesters.) A. Answer Spirit of nationalism grew more intense; more Indians demanded independence. Recognizing Effects What changes resulted from the Amritsar massacre? Gandhi’s Tactics of Nonviolence The massacre at Amritsar set the stage for Mohandas K. Gandhi (GAHN•dee) to emerge as the leader of the independence movement. Gandhi’s strategy for battling injustice evolved from his deeply religious approach to political activity. His teachings blended ideas from all of the major world religions, including Hinduism, Islam, and Christianity. Gandhi attracted millions of followers. Soon they began calling him the Mahatma (muh•HAHT•muh), meaning “great soul.” Noncooperation When the British failed to punish the officers responsible for the Amritsar massacre, Gandhi urged the Indian National Congress to follow a policy of noncooperation with the British government. In 1920, the Congress Party endorsed civil disobedience, the deliberate and public refusal to obey an unjust law, and nonviolence as the means to achieve independence. Gandhi then launched his campaign Analyzing Primary Sources Satyagraha and Nonviolence Ask students if it is likely that the use of body-force by the Indians would have been effective against the British government. (Not likely–British were more prepared to fight than to counter the effects of civil disobedience.) Answers to Document-Based Questions 1. Comparing Body-force involves the use of violence, but not necessarily the sacrifice of self. 2. Making Inferences Gandhi believes that suffering must take place to achieve the goal. Hind Swaraj states: “Passive resistance is a method of securing rights by personal suffering.” The Origin of Nonviolence states: “[T]here can only be one end to the struggle, and that is victory.” Satyagraha Nonviolence A central element of Gandhi’s philosophy of nonviolence was called satyagraha, often translated as “soul-force” or “truth-force.” In The Origin of Nonviolence, Gandhi offered a warning to those who were contemplating joining the struggle for independence. PRIMARY SOURCE PRIMARY SOURCE Passive resistance is a method of securing rights by personal suffering; it is the reverse of resistance by arms. When I refuse to do a thing that is repugnant to my conscience, I use soul-force. For instance, the government of the day has passed a law which is applicable to me: I do not like it, if, by using violence, I force the government to repeal the law, I am employing what may be termed body-force. If I do not obey the law and accept the penalty for its breach, I use soulforce. It involves sacrifice of self. [I]t is not at all impossible that we might have to endure every hardship that we can imagine, and wisdom lies in pledging ourselves on the understanding that we shall have to suffer all that and worse. If some one asks me when and how the struggle may end, I may say that if the entire community manfully stands the test, the end will be near. If many of us fall back under storm and stress, the struggle will be prolonged. But I can boldly declare, and with certainty, that so long as there is even a handful of men true to their pledge, there can only be one end to the struggle, and that is victory.

Class Time 30 minutes Both Investigating Examples of Civil Disobedience Critical Thinking Transparencies CHAPTER 30 • Section 4 of civil disobedience to weaken the British government’s authority and economic power over India. Boycotts Gandhi called on Indians to refuse to buy British goods, attend government schools, pay British taxes, or vote in elections. Gandhi staged a successful boycott of British cloth, a source of wealth for the British. He urged all Indians to weave their own cloth. Gandhi himself devoted two hours each day to spinning his own yarn on a simple handwheel. He wore only homespun cloth and encouraged Indians to follow his example. As a result of the boycott, the sale of British cloth in India dropped sharply. Tip for English Learners Remind students that a boycott is a form of peaceful protest in which people decide as a group to refuse to buy certain products or goods in order to show disapproval of those who produce them. More About . . . Strikes and Demonstrations Gandhi’s weapon of civil disobedience took an economic toll on the British. They struggled to keep trains running, factories operating, and overcrowded jails from bursting. Throughout 1920, the British arrested thousands of Indians who had participated in strikes and demonstrations. But despite Gandhi’s pleas for nonviolence, protests often led to riots. The Salt March In 1930, Gandhi organized a demonstration to defy the hated Salt B. Answer The protest against British rule was based on noncooperation and civil disobedience. Making Inferences How did the Salt March represent Gandhi’s methods for change? Acts. According to these British laws, Indians could buy salt from no other source but the government. They also had to pay sales tax on salt. To show their opposition, Gandhi and his followers walked about 240 miles to the seacoast. There they began to make their own salt by collecting seawater and letting it evaporate. This peaceful protest was called the Salt March. Soon afterward, some demonstrators planned a march to a site where the British government processed salt. They intended to shut this saltworks down. Police officers with steel-tipped clubs attacked the demonstrators. An American journalist was an eyewitness to the event. He described the “sickening whacks of clubs on unprotected skulls” and people “writhing in pain with fractured skulls or broken shoulders.” Still the people continued to march peacefully, refusing to defend themselves against their attackers. Newspapers across the globe carried the journalist’s story, which won worldwide support for Gandhi’s independence movement. More demonstrations against the salt tax took place throughout India. Eventually, about 60,000 people, including Gandhi, were arrested. Gandhi’s Views ▲ Gandhi adopted the spinning wheel as a symbol of Indian resistance to British rule. The wheel was featured on the Indian National Congress flag, a forerunner of India’s national flag. Gandhi’s emphasis on the traditional values of village life and on handcrafted items made it clear to the majority of Indians that he understood and sympathized with their problems. Gandhi realized that any feeling of Indian nationalism had to begin with the village.

In 1935, the British Parliament passed the Government of India Act. It provided local self-government and limited democratic elections, but not total independence. However, the Government of India Act also fueled mounting tensions between Muslims and Hindus. These two groups had conflicting visions of India’s future as an independent nation. Indian Muslims, outnumbered by Hindus, feared that Hindus would control India if it won independence. In Chapter 34, you will read about the outcome of India’s bid for independence.

Teacher’s Edition 889 CHAPTER 30 • Section 4 Nationalism in Southwest Asia The breakup of the Ottoman Empire and growing Western political and economic interest in Southwest Asia spurred the rise of nationalism in this region. Just as the people of India fought to have their own nation after World War I, the people of Southwest Asia also launched independence movements to rid themselves of imperial rulers. History Makers Mustafa Kemal To reach his goal, Kemal even set rules for clothing: “A civilized, international dress is worthy and appropriate for our new nation, and we will wear it. Boots or shoes on our feet, trousers on our legs, shirt and tie, jacket and waistcoat—and, of course, to complete these, a . . . hat.” In addition to changing clothing, in 1928, Kemal introduced the Latin alphabet, replacing the Arabic letters. He wanted people to forget their history under the Ottomans and to return to the roots of their ancient Turkish language. Nationalism in Southwest Asia Critical Thinking • What did Kemal’s reforms do for Turkey? (gave Turkey a strong national identity by making legal, religious, and economic reforms) • In what major way did reforms in Iran and Saudi Arabia differ from those in Turkey? (Iran and Saudi Arabia did not turn to democratic rule as Turkey did.) Turkey Becomes a Republic At the end of World War I, the Ottoman Empire was forced to give up all its territories except Turkey. Turkish lands included the old Turkish homeland of Anatolia and a small strip of land around Istanbul. Mustafa Kemal In 1919, Greek soldiers invaded Turkey and threatened to 1881–1938 conquer it.

From his leadership, Turkey gained a new sense of its national identity. His influence was so strong that the Turkish people gave him the name Ataturk—“father of the Turks.” Persia Becomes Iran Before World War I, both Great Britain and Russia had established spheres of influence in the ancient country of Persia. After the war, when Russia was still reeling from the Bolshevik Revolution, the British tried to take over all of Persia. This maneuver triggered a nationalist revolt in Persia. In 1921, a Persian army officer seized power. In 1925 he deposed the ruling shah. Persia’s new leader, Reza Shah Pahlavi (PAL•uh•vee), like Kemal in Turkey, set out to modernize his country. He established public schools, built roads and railroads, promoted industrial growth, and extended women’s rights. Unlike Kemal, Reza Shah Pahlavi kept all power in his own hands. In 1935, he changed the name of the country from the Greek name Persia to the traditional name Iran.

The rising demand for petroleum products in industrialized countries brought new oil explorations to Southwest Asia. During the 1920s and 1930s, European and American companies discovered enormous oil deposits in Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait. Foreign businesses invested huge sums of money to develop these oil fields. For example, the Anglo-Persian Oil Company, a British company, started developing the oil fields of Iran. Geologists later learned that the land around the Persian Gulf has nearly two-thirds of the world’s known supply of oil. This important resource led to rapid and dramatic economic changes and development. Because oil brought huge profits, Western nations tried to dominate this region. Meanwhile, these same Western nations were about to face a more immediate crisis as power-hungry leaders seized control in Italy and Germany. CHAPTER 30 • Section 4 Oil Fields, 1938 country.
