Answer:

They both imposed totalitarian governments and both claimed to rule in the national interests.

They both stemmed from a political, social, and cultural construct that erased traditional ideas regarding good and evil.

Both believed in the destruction of the old world, to build a new international order; each deplored what they saw as the pathetic ennui of bourgeoisie existence; each ideology’s shared purpose was to recruit members of the new utopia.

Both fascism and communism are characterized by state/national supremacy.

Both fascism and communism are opposed to the democratic model.

Both economic and political systems believe in societal wellbeing.

Both fascism and communism totally forbid private ownership and control of resources.

Both fascism and communism make use of propaganda. That is, they disseminate information such as facts, arguments, rumors, incomplete (half) truth, or lies with the aim of influencing public opinion. These political systems are usually deliberate and emphatic on manipulation. In other words, they go to the extent of withholding some information from the people especially that information that will not benefit the government.

Denial of individual rights is another notable feature that both fascism and communism have in common.

Both fascism and communism have zero tolerance for opposition and criticism. Those who criticize or openly oppose a dictator may face imprisonment or a death sentence. They are usually autocratic and authoritative in nature which does not give any room for the freedom of expression of feelings and public opinions. They do not provide room for any opposing point of view.

They both focus on loyalty to the government rather than the individual.

Both fascism and communism are classless societies as there is no private ownership of property and wealth accumulation.

Arrange the events in chronological order.

liberstina [14]

1. Representatives of the third estate gather at a tennis court and swear to continue meeting until a new French constitution is drafted.

2. A crowd of angry, hungry women marches from Paris to Versailles to force the royal family back to Paris.

3. King Louis XVI is executed by guillotine on charges of treason, while his wife, Marie Antoinette, is executed a few months later.

4. French soldier Napoleon Bonaparte rises to power and makes himself the emperor of France.

The French Revolution begins within the National Assembly with the Third Estate (commoners) demanding a new constitution be drawn up and signed. The group wanted more of a say in the government since they made up over 1/2 of the population but were only given 1 vote in the Assembly. The Storming of the Bastille is considered the first event in the revolution. This event is followed by bread riots and the march to Versailles by women demanding bread prices be lower. Upon taking Versailles, the women forced Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette back to Paris. After forcing Louis to comply with the Third Estate he would eventually be guillotined with his wife to follow. France would enter a bloody period of the revolution leading to more overthrows of the government. Eventually Napoleon would come to power turning France into a military-based empire.

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Bosnian crisis of 1908, state of severe international tension caused by the annexation by Austria-Hungary of the Balkan provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Congress of Berlin (1878) had given Austria-Hungary the right to occupy and administer Bosnia and Herzegovina temporarily, but the provinces officially remained possessions of the Ottoman Empire. Still, the Austrian administration tried mightily and at great expense to improve the strategically valuable region economically and to link it closely with Austria-Hungary. When in July 1908 the Young Turks staged a revolution in Constantinople (now Istanbul), established a constitutional government, and inaugurated a reform program, the Austrian foreign minister Graf (count) Lexa von Aehrenthal resolved to annex Bosnia and Herzegovina before the new Turkish regime could regain control over them.

To that end Aehrenthal met the Russian foreign minister, Aleksandr P. Izvolsky, at Buchlau, in Moravia; and, on Sept. 16, 1908, Izvolsky agreed that Russia would not object to the annexation. Aehrenthal pledged that in return Austria would not object to opening the Bosporus and Dardanelles straits to Russian warships, an advantage that had been denied to Russia since 1841. By a rescript of Oct. 7, 1908, Austria-Hungary annexed Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Izvolsky, unprepared for such immediate action, could not control the strong popular opposition to the annexation that developed in Russia. Furthermore, Serbia, which was closely related to Bosnia and Herzegovina geographically and ethnically, was outraged by the annexation. It demanded that Austria cede a portion of Bosnia and Herzegovina to Serbia, and Izvolsky, pressed by anti-Austrian opinion in Russia, was forced to support the Serbian claims. Austria, however, firmly supported by its ally Germany, threatened to invade Serbia if that country persisted in its demands. Russia, having failed to secure equally strong support from its ally France, could not risk a war against both Austria-Hungary and Germany for Serbia’s sake, and in March 1909 Izvolsky notified Germany that Russia accepted Austria’s annexation. Although the crisis was resolved without immediate warfare, the resulting embittered relations between Serbia and Austria-Hungary and Russia’s resentment at having been deceived and humiliated contributed to the outbreak of World War I.
