The question of moral validity has plagued societies for millennia. Unsurprisingly, this question afflicted Indonesia between 1965 and 1966. In the early days of October 1965, a group of conspirators took and killed six generals. The disagreement of whom caused this coup caused the killing of more than 80,000 (1,000,000 in some areas) people. This caused a social change from aristocrats to an Indonesian business class.

However, the Soviets took control of the eastern half of Europe and the United States controlled the western side.

Tanzania’s nation building has been similar to that of Indonesia, in spite of having differences in the region, religion and race. Tanzania is very ethnically diverse, since it’s divided into 120 different ethnic groups. Like Indonesia, it was ruled for many years by a strong one- party state, which made nation building a clear goal. Tanzania’s founding president, Julius Nyerere, played a role similar to that of Sukarno in Indonesia. Nyerere built a national identity with a socialist ideology

State Mass Killings in Indonesia 1965 to 1966 In order to develop a general framework with which to understand collective political violence, I examine state mass killings in Indonesia 1965-66. While acknowledging the importance of historical/cultural factors, I identify elements within the sociopolitical sphere that influence actors of collective political violence at national, local, and event- specific levels. Elements discussed are elite interests, justification for violence, formal organizations
The Domino Theory Since the rise of communism, the United States has been at odds with the idea of the communist system.

Many of them began to leave their homes in 1975 and continued to escape in the late 1970s and the 1980s.

Japan led a ruthless assault in the Pacific for fifteen years. This small island was able to spread imperialism and terror to neighboring countries through means of force and brutality. Japan even attempted to combat and overcome European and Western countries such as Russia and the United States. Even with an extreme militaristic government, Japan was unable to achieve the glory it was promised and hoped for. The Pacific War analyzes Japan’s part in the war and what the country could have done to
Domino Theory The Domino Theory Here is my report on the Domino Theory The ?Domino Theory? is a complex and interesting theory. It is based on a simple rule of physics. That rule is inertia. Inertia is defined in the dictionary as, ?the tendency of matter to remain at rest or to continue in a fixed direction unless affected by some outside force.?1 This can be seen by making a line of dominoes, one right after the other and pushing the first domino over. The rest of the dominoes will fall over
