Reflection 7

By now, we already into the time world war 1 !  I feel like we've moved through the history of the world in human beings so fast ! I can't believe that we went from walking out of africa evolution and now all the way to world war 2 in a matter of 8 weeks.
Yes, just one incident sparked the accidental war according to strayer .  Here we are once again fighting war and killing other humans .  haven't we have enough of this yet , it's only been going on for centuries, I guess this is the way things need to be solved .  this war  lasted about 4 years and was finished in november 1918 with the german defeat . after this war came  the great depression.  it was difficult for the soldiers of world war 1 to reintegrate into their communities  into civilian life . the government was challenged by the great depression because the market sale to self correct .  the response to the great depression by the united states government was when franklin roosevelt  proposed a new deal  which strayer notes was "a complex tangle of reforms intended to restore pre depression prosperity and to prevent future calamities."  unfortunately none of the new deal programs work very to end the great depression.   on we go to the makings of the second world war.  Hitler was pushing an intense  german nationalism idea  in terms of racial superiority .   also the japanese attack on pearl harbor 1941 occurred. tensions between japanese ambitions in asia and the united states or becoming increasingly hostile. next thing we know all of europe is in a war .  mass destruction during the war, recovery period of europe comes next.   
now communism begin to take our drama world in the wake of the war . transformations of society begin. russia and china the big players in communism at this point , many of the people were opposed to communism. erosion of established communist  control was in the mineds of many .   china abandons communism and maintains same party , Russia's  communism collapses.  Gorbachev's ideas to mend a country did not work out as he has planned .  the plans to form strengthening socialism any reviving stagnant soviet union lead to its further weakening and collapse.  
chapter 23 is all about countries developing .  just cause in that case of india they began to come under their own rule rather than british rule. Key figure in this case is gandhi. south africa dealing with the apartheid issue ,  Kenya get its first president in 1964 indicating changes in africa . 
in chapter 24 globalization is the key  focus.  money as well is goods made an amazing global mobility.    also globalization of liberation with many feminist movement on the rise .  islamic world goes through changes , environmentalist let's also on the rise .
many things to cover these chapters , very interesting to say the least about the progression in the development of our world and every unique story within .
