Mao ZedongMao Zedong (1893-1976) was inspired by the ideas of the Russian Revolution and succeeded inbringing the revolution to the suffering peasants in China. As in Russia, the communist revolution inChina was not one of workers vs. owners, but one of imperial government vs. poor starving peasantswho felt that the government had abandoned them. After years of civil war, China became aCommunist nation in 1949 and Mao ruled from 1949-1976. The newly communist China looked to the Soviet Unionfor leadership, but quickly turned in a different direction. Mao Zedong, the leader of the Communist Party, turnedChina from a farming, old-fashioned society into a modem industrial power. Mao undertook a number of programs inorder to achieve his goal. He created communes, a Chinese version of the Russian collective, tried to renew Chineseculture. He also launched a series of agricultural and industrial production initiatives, and improved the social standingof women. He was well-known for the Cultural Revolution, which waged war on Western and democratic ideas inChina. Foreign writings and influences were removed from China by his Red Guards, his army of studentrevolutionaries. Some of Mao's writings were copied into the handbook, The Quotations of Chairman Mao (alsoknown as the Little Red Book) and given to every Chinese citizen and they were forced to memorize it.4. Mohandas GandhiMohandas Gandhi (1869-1948) was a nationalist leader in India who called for ahimsa (non-violence) andcivil disobedience (not following laws because they are immoral) to gain India's freedom from the Britishempire. India had been controlled by the British Empire since the 1700s (IMPERIALISM!!). Over time,nationalistic feelings grew among the Indian population and a movement was began to first rule themselves, and thenachieve complete independence from the British. In 1885, Indian nationalists formed the Indian National Congress, ofwhich Gandhi was the leader, to achieve these goals. Gandhi was an activist from 1893-1948. Gandhi believed inusing non-violent methods to peacefully protest the rule of the British. He organized the Salt March to protest theBritish Salt Tax, which made it illegal for workers to collect free salt from the seas and forced them to buy salt theycouldn't afford. In 1947, India gained their independence from Great Britain, due in large part to the strong leadershipof Mohandas Gandhi.5. Nelson MandelaNelson Mandela (1918-2013) was elected South Africa's first black president in 1994. South Africa wasruled by European (British and Dutch) settlers for a long time. While South Africa gained independencefrom Great Britain in the beginning of the 20 century, the country was still controlled by the whiteminority. Black South Africans lived under the policy of apartheid, which limited their rights severely.Under apartheid, black South Africans could only live in certain areas and were required to use separatetrains, beaches, restaurants and schools and could not marry white South Africans. Nelson Mandela, a leader of theAfrican National Congress, protested this treatment of black South Africans. He was active from 1943-1999. TheAfrican National Congress, a group formed in protest of this policy, was eventually outlawed due to their violenttacties. Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for over 30 years due to his involvement in anti-apartheid demonstrations.Apartheid lasted until the early 1990s when white South African President, F. W. de Klerk ended apertheid andreleased Nelson Mandela from his imprisonment. In 1994, Nelson Mandela was elected as South Africa's first blackpresident. One of the first things Mandela did as president was to rid the country of the awful policy of apartheid,creating equality amongst the races in South Africa. WORLD LEADERS INFORMATION SHEET1. Napoleon BonaparteNapoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) was not only one of the greatest military commanders of all time,but he also became the emperor of France, as well as many other European countries after theFrench Revolution. He ruled from 1799-1815. Before Napoleon, France was in a chaotic statefollowing the French Revolution. The French people had been executed mercilessly during theReign of Terror by Robespierre. The people craved a return to a normal, peaceful lifestyle. Napoleonrose to fame during the French Revolution, as a respected military general. He was a respected commander, both by histroops and then, the people of France. After coming back from his military campaigns, he became a member of athree-person team of French rulers. He quickly pushed out his co-rulers and became the Ruler-for-Life in 1802 and thenthe Emperor in 1804. He waged military campaigns and attempted to conquer nations such as Italy, Sweden, Germanyand Spain. During this time, in France, he instituted the Napoleonic Code. This was a set of laws that gave the people ofFrance their first legal code – laws such as forbidding privileges based on birth, allowing freedom of religion. Napoleonalso made everybody (not just the Third Estate) pay taxes. However, despite the success of the Napoleonic Code, hismilitary campaign against Russia became a disaster – unprepared for the cold weather and large size of Russia, Napoleonsuffered a terrible defeat. He was driven out of power soon after this loss, but even today, he remains one of the most|fascinating and disputed historical figures of modern European history.2. Joseph StalinJoseph Stalin (1879-1953) was a totalitarian dictator who became the second leader of the Soviet Union andruled from 1924-1953. Before the communist revolution, the Czar (king) controlled society and did notallow Russians to openly criticize the govemment, the secret police carefully watched high schools anduniversities for those who spoke out against his rule. If someone was caught, they were exiled to far awaySiberin, a region of Russia. Russian factory workers were unhappy – the conditions in factories were very bad and paywas low. Only the nobility could get good jobs and only 1% of the population was rich. The price of bread was so highthat people in Russia could not even afford to buy a loaf of bread for their families. After Russia lost a war(Russo-Japanese) with Japan, they blamed their Czar for Russia's humiliation and defeat. Due to this the RussianRevolution and the communist came to power. First Lenin came to power and after his death, Stalin rose to power. Everyaspect of people's lives was controlled by the government. Russia became a command economy, where govemmentofficials made all economic decisions. Stalin forced peasants to give up ownership of their land and live ongovernment-owned farms called collectives. On a collective farm, all animals and equipment were owned by the state.The government controlled the prices paid to the farmers for their products, and forced them to fill quotas, or productiongoals. During the Great Purges, Stalin eliminated his opponents by sending them to do brutal physical labor in workcamps (gulags), by assassinating them in large numbers, by putting them on public trials and using them as examples forthe rest of the country. Stalin terrorized large segments of the Soviet population, especially rich farmers. He alsoordered a massive famine in Ukraine, where around 5 million people died. About 20 million people died or disappearedbecause of Stalin's actions. Russia successfully fought back against Germany's armies during World War II. Stalin alsotried to spur industrial production, hoping to catch up to the United States as a world superpower.
