Communism
(c.p. cogley)
Communism is a political and economic system that became one of the most powerful forces in the world. It shaped history from the early 1900''s to the 1990''s.
The term Communism has several meanings. Communism can be a form of government, an economic system, a revolutionary movement, a way of life, or a goal or ideal. Communism is also a set of ideas about how and why history moves, and in what direction it is headed. These ideas were developed mainly by V. I. Lenin from the writings of Karl Marx. Lenin was a Russian revolutionary leader of the early 1900''s, and Marx was a German social philosopher in the 1800''s.
During the 1900''s, millions of people lived under Communist rule. In 1917, Russia became the first state to be controlled by a Communist Party. Russia joined with three other territories in 1922 to form the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (U.S.S.R.), or Soviet Union.
After World War II (1939-1945), Soviet troops occupied most of Eastern Europe. The Soviet Union was thus able to help Communists take power in that region. In 1949, the Chinese Communist Party won a civil war for control of China.Write your abstract here.
