These ideas that were so prevalent in the colonies were stated by many different revolutionaries, but many of them held the same idea, freedom was a right that was shared by all

Throughout the Industrial Revolution, countries began to gain many raw materials to strengthen their empires. Inventions like the automobile made things much more efficient. With all this newly aquired power, countries already did not know what to do with it. During this Age of Progress from around the 1870's to 1890's, countries began to experience anxiety because they had trouble figuring out how humans worked. A great example is Siegmund Frued's psychoanalysis system which tried to prove how the human mind works, but now we know today it is very flawed. Herbert Spencer created his Social Darwinism theory stating that the strong countries are strong and "fit" to survive, and that the weak will die out. This caused more anxiety, so people mindlessly followed what was told to them. Many of these anxieties caused the imperialization of Africa, where

The Yalta conference took place on February 1945, in a Russian resort town in Crimea, which was recently annexed by Russia in 2014. However the before the conference took place there was tension building up between the Allies and the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union was an ally with Germany for 2 years when they signed the Nazi-Soviet Pact; “this led the west to believe Stalin was cynical, opportunistic, power hungry, expansionist” (lecture, 1/8/16). It also took the allies a while to open up a western front, and this angered Stalin as the Soviet unions causalities kept on mounting.

In Gish Jen’s short story "Who 's Irish?," the main character is a determined Chinese grandmother who moved to America with her husband when she was a young woman, and now, in her old age, she is nearing her limit when she cannot handle her granddaughter 's behavior and how she is being raised. The story was written in 1956 and while reading it a question of interest grew in knowing about gender inequality in China and if it has changed in the last several decades. Noted in the short story by Jen, the grandmother was feared by her husband and other men because she was “fierce.” Being a strong woman was not a common thing in China as many Chinese women did not have the opportunity to be independent and to make lives for themselves. This was mostly due to them being considered the lower gender and having little to no education, unlike the men who were expected to receive a high education. A look into several articles and surveys about gender and education has revealed an answer to if gender inequality in education in China has changed over the last several decades and how it has changed through economic growth, urban and rural areas, parents’ expectations, and the one-child policy.
