Locke's contribution to American political thought was the way he formulated liberal thought. In Locke's thought, men have intrinsic moral worth. They are capable of being their own moral agents, thus capable of self rule. They are equal, and they are free from claims of divine right to rule. This is liberalization, meaning that traditional ruling systems of personal power, justified by divine right, are rejected. The political power is opened up to the people, and "opening" is what liberalism means. When the people have the sovereign power, power becomes a public matter. In Latin, that is "Res Publica." Self rule is a republic. The power of the people is delegated to representatives to speak on their behalf so people have a stable environment in which to pursue economic activity.
Since men are free and equal, then, they have natural rights. These are life, liberty, health, and pursuit of property. Property is the source of political power, hence freedom, and this comes with the obligation to defend it so you don't lose that liberty. You cannot alienate your natural rights. You must set up a system to limit encroachments and preserve your rights. So you must have the ability to protect your freedom, which is the right to pursue property. Jefferson cribbed this line but he changed "property" to "happiness."

The years between 1912 and 1938 were filled with upheaval in China. It was marked by the driving out of many of the foreign people there because it was believed they were a bad influence.
The Japanese were still in the beginning of the Sino-Japanese War in 1938, and they had recently taken the KMT (The Chinese Nationalist Government is the KMT) capitol of Nanking as well as Shanghai. At this point, the Japanese were making quick work of the Chinese army with their highly industrialized military and basically un-opposed air superiority. Japan also had a puppet regime in Manchukuo (formerly and currently known as Manchuria, the Northern section of China) and had established the deposed Qing Dynasty emperor, Puyi, as their token ruler.

Answer: The Cultural Revolution
(Full name was "<u>The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution</u>.")
<em>Explanation/details:</em>
The Cultural Revolution was launched response to other persons in leadership in China that Mao thought focused too much on technical expertise and not on ideological purity. They were not sufficiently communist, in Mao Zedong's view.
Mao began the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution (its official name) in 1966. A big part of the program was the closing of China's schools, because Mao saw the majority of educators as bourgeois types who were failing to support the communist revolution. The Cultural Revolution was an insistence on loyalty to communist party ideology.
The Red Guard was formed, which was made up of high school and college students (no longer attending school, since schools were shut down). These radicalized students became militants for Mao over against those whom he considered not revolutionary enough. The Red Guard destroyed historical artifacts and writings of the of China's former culture. They also attacked persons who were seen to be resisting Chairman Mao's permanent revolution.
