To understand both conflicts, one must first understand that revolution is not a single event. It is instead a process. The goal of revolution is the redistribution of wealth and economic power. In both cases the battles waged in both wars were waged for these reasons and in both cases the seeds for these revolutions had been planted long before the conflicts themselves.

  • Similarities And Differences Between Lenin And Stalin

    Isaac Murrin Mr. J. Pharion Freshman English 20 February 2013 The Similarities and Differences between Lenin and Stalin Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin were similar in what they claimed to be, but in actuality they were very different people. Although Stalin claimed that he followed Leninism, the philosophy that Lenin developed from Marxism, he often distorted it to follow what he wanted to do. While Lenin wanted to make a unified society without classes, with production in the hands of the people, while Stalin wanted to make Russia into a modern industrial powerhouse by using the government to control production. Lenin accomplished his goals through violence, because he thought achieving the Communist revolution was worth using violence, with a ‘The ends justify the means’ mentality. Stalin also used violence to accomplish his goals, however Stalin used much more violence than was often necessary to accomplish his goals.

  • Imperialism in Egypt

    724 Words  | 2 Pages

    The country I decided to research is Egypt. Egypt is located in northern Africa along the Mediterranean and Red Seas. The majority of the country however is located in northeastern Africa, but its Sinai Peninsula extends out into Southwest Asia, connecting the two continents. European nations wanted to colonize Egypt because it was considered to be a treasure, due to its fertile land and production of crops, such as: wheat, fruits, vegetables, corn, and cotton. Also because of its strategic location at the head of the Red Sea, that appeared valuable to countries such as Britain and France. Another reason was because they wanted to control Egypt in order to secure the main route to India, Malaya, Australia, New Zealand and to Hong Kong.This route was known as the Suez Canal. The Suez Canal was viewed as the “Lifeline of the Empire” because it allowed quicker access to its colonies in Asia and Africa. It also connected the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea, built mainly with French money from private interest groups using Egyptian labor. Egypt was also targeted due to its weak economy and government, making it an easy target to imperialize. Egypt was colonized three times each by different civilizations. It was colonized by the Ottomans in 1517, by the French in 1799, and by the British in 1882. A key person involved in Egypts colonization was Muhammad Ali. After taking power in 1805, he strengthened the army and focused on cultivating the land. He also increased trade with Europe and sent officials to Britain to be educated.

  • French and Russian Revolutions

    Both the French and Russian revolutions occurred because of two main reasons. Both of these revolutions were the direct results of bad leadership and a bad economy. These two reasons along with other factors caused both of these revolutions. Although they were both similar, they also had differences. A difference between the two is that the Russians had an unsuccessful "pre-revolution" in 1905. Another difference between these two revolutions is the fact that the French turned towards a democracy while the Russian government became communist.

  • Ancient Egypt & Ottoman Empire

    1709 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Egyptian society consisted of three kingdoms (Old, Middle, and New) and about thirty-four different dynasties. The Egyptians were ruled by kings or pharaohs. The earlier rulers were called “Horus-kings”. I think that they called themselves “Horus-kings” because they thought the pharaoh was associated with Horus. That’s probably true in the Egyptians mind because they did believe that the pharaoh was basically a god. There were many rulers over the time due to disease, illness, etc. The Egyptians had only the pharaoh to tell them what to do and to deal with the people’s problems, although it more the vizier who dealt with the people. Unlike the Egyptians the Ottomans didn’t have as many kings or dynasties. Ottoman had about thirty-six kings over the course of the empire. They had quite fewer because they had better times to live in there possibly was less disease and better living. The sultans ruled for about twenty years. Few sultans ruled twice. The reason some rules twice was because they step down and let their successor rule and went back into power again after their successor. Between both civilizations the rulers ruled until their death, some of them did step down for another ruler to take rule. I think that some of them did actually ruled to their death but not much information was given for the Egyptians because of the amount of kings or rulers that the Egyptians had.

  • Similarities Between Ancient Egypt And Ancient Greece

    1157 Words  | 3 Pages

    The word “ancient” can be a hard word to describe. It has no specific time period, but also does at the same time. When something is described as ancient, it is something that is extremely old, or was in the very distant past. Ancient Egyptian and Ancient Greek civilizations co-existed from 1150BC to 146BC. They had different systems, beliefs, and life styles, just like how different countries do today. There were also similarities, such as both having a single person be the ruler, not giving equal power to everyone. For Greeks, this would be a king and for Egyptians, and Pharaoh. Both Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece believed in mythology – a similarity between the two. However, much of their mythology was different. Although both Egypt
