"Reading Assignment": Unit 8.7 Global Resistance to...

According to Heimler's video, there are two major processes occurring during Unit 8 (after 1900). What are they?

• The Cold War

• The Vietnam War

• Decolonization

• The Afghan War of 2003

During this time, there's the Cold War and there's decolonization. Now as a result of all this shifting power in the establishment of new states, there was also an establishment of new power structures along with existing power structures. And in this video, what we're going to talk about is all the ___________ that came to those power structures.

What were the two ways that resistance manifested itself?

• Violence

• Non-violence

• Economic independence

• World War II protests

Match the following non-violent resistance movement leaders:

• India, against the oppressive British

• Mohandas Gandhi

• South Africa, against apartheid

• Martin Luther King, Jr.

• US, civil rights (race discrimination)

• Nelson Mandela

Who were the two leaders who used violent responses to squash the resistance movements mentioned in the video?

• Francisco Franco

• Idi Amin (Butcher of Uganda)

• Adolf Hitler

• Joseph Stalin

The video mentions both non-violent and violent resistance movements, but toward the end, Heimler introduces a third. The third example is the _____ _____ _____ (three words).

One response to fear about the future from countries who utilized the "military industrial complex" resistance was...

• To build up the military in order to defend their future (US and the Soviet Union)

• To install military leaders as political leaders to ensure that martial law could be quickly applied in emergency situations (Germany and Australia)

• To encourage their government bodies to increase military spending in order to develop superior technology (India and Sweden)

• To build up the military, but only in wartime (Mexico and Japan)

Why couldn't the US and the USSR decrease their military spending once it had begun?

• Their economies depended on it and it meant putting people out of work

• Their government would be seen as weak and they couldn't afford a negative world view

• Because they were afraid of each other and wanted to ensure that their space race continued despite the danger

• Because most people like the military industrial complex because it makes their country seem powerful

Which historical evidence was used to support Heimler's assertion (belief) that international and domestic terrorism were violent responses to power structures? SELECT ALL THAT APPLY:

• Peru's Shining Path in the 1970s

• Al Qaeda led by Osama bin Laden

• The Jacobins led by Maximilian Robespierre

• The Protestants led by Martin Luther
