After Saddam Hussein’s forces were defeated in Iraq and driven from Kuwait, US and Allied leaders had a decision to make. Saddam

Hussein was a brutal dictator who victimized his own people and was proven to be willing to engage in warlike activities with neighboring nations. At the same time, the people of Iraq were divided along religious and ethnic lines. Without a strong leader, the country might devolve into chaos. US leaders decided to keep Saddam Hussein in charge of Iraq with severe limits on Iraq’s military. It was thought that the instability that might rise without a strong leader in Iraq was worse than Hussein’s brutal rule.
Put yourself in the difficult position of making the decision as to whether to remove a dictator from control of an unstable country. What arguments could be made for removing the dictator? What arguments could be made for keeping the dictator in power?

Answer:

What arguments could be made for removing the dictator?

Arguments for removing the dictator are: allowing the country to establish a democracy. Helping out or improving the situation of those demographic groups that were oppressed by the dictator. Another argument is simply punishing the dictator for his crimes.

What arguments could be made for keeping the dictator in power?

The main argument for keeping the dictator is to ensure the stability of the country, even if such stability is unfair at many times, and comes along with the oppresion of certain social and political groups.

Another argument is simply to prevent the country from getting worse.

A final argument is pragmatic: keeping the dictator in power might serve everyone's interests better. Democratic countries have frequently established ties with authoritarian governments.

If WW1 had not taken place , do you think the russian revolution would have happened? support your argument with facts.
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

It could have possibly happened, but most likely not.

Explanation:

The key figure of the revolution was Vladimir Lenin who was in exile during WW1 and the Germans specifically sent him back to St. Petrograd to cause political instability and bring Russia out of the war. If WW1 did not happen then Lenin would have not gone back to Russia and the White Army also could focus on suppressing Communist uprisings. The monarchy was still very weak but would remain in power. The democratic reformers would try to change Russia through peaceful protest rather than violent uprising.
