On May 16th, 50 years ago today, Mao Zedong's Chinese government  directed  its people to overthrow the " bourgeoisie threatening to seize political power from the proletariat.” This order marked the beginning of the 10-year-long violent class struggle known as The Cultural Revolution. The upheaval resulted in the torture, imprisonment, public humiliation, and displacement of those labeled part of the bourgeoisie. The persecuted included artists, professors, intellectuals, land-owners, political critics and everyday people caught in the fray — eventually leaving between 400,000 to several million dead.

The Berlin Blockade was an attempt in 1948 by the Soviet Union to limit the ability of France, Great Britain and the United States to travel to their sectors of Berlin, which lay within Russian-occupied East Germany.  Eventually, the western powers instituted an airlift that lasted nearly a year and delivered much-needed supplies and relief to West Berlin. Coming just three years after the end of World War II, the blockade was the first major clash of the Cold War and foreshadowed future conflict over the city of Berlin.

The Second World War was arguably the most significant period of the 20th century. It brought about major leaps in technology and laid the groundwork that permitted post-war social changes including the end of European colonialism, the civil rights movement in the United States, and the modern women’s rights movement, as well as the programs for exploring outer space. The primary combatants were the Axis nations (Nazi Germany, Facist Italy, Imperial Japan and their smaller allies) and the Allied nations, led by Britain (and its Commonwealth nations), the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the United States of America. The Allies were the victors. Two superpowers, the USA and USSR, emerged from World War II to begin a Cold War with each other that would define much of the rest of the century.  You can download our notes here .

Just two decades after the First World War, the Second World War was the deadliest war in history. Sparked by Adolf Hitler’s invasion of Poland in 1939, the war would drag on for six deadly years until the final Allied defeat of both Nazi Germany and Japan in 1945. In many respects, World War II grew out of issues left unresolved by that earlier conflict. Causes of the War:
