Meiji Restoration of Japan

In the year of 1853, Commandore Matthew Perry showed up in Japan with 4 warships under his command in Tokyo with a request from the United States government to open its ports to trading and to establish diplomatic relations between the two nations. The Japanese were aware of western imperialist aggression in other parts of Asia and the presence of warships suggested that this request could be backed up with force. This made the Japanese sign the treaty of kanagawa with the United States. The Japanese were astounished of Matthew Perry's vessels. The Japanese never saw this type of creation and technology before. They called those Black ships because of the black smoke the ships threw out. The abolition of feudalism made possible tremendous social and political changes. Millions of people were suddenly free to choose their occupation and move about without restrictions. By providing a new environment of political and financial security, the government made possible investment in new industries and technologies. This made Japan's government to start building railways and shipping lines and much more. Japan started getting morwe industrialized with factories and started trading with other countries. Japan is an archipelago because an archipelago is a cluster of islands frequently formed by volcanic activity.

Karl Marx and Communism

Communism is abolition of private property, meaning that resources and production are owned in common by the people. Communism was made by Karl Marx because he wanted everyone to be payed the same amount. Karl Marx didn't like the ideas of capitalism because he thought that capitalism contained the seeds to its own destruction.He said that communism was the inevitable end to the process of evolution begun with feudalism and passing through capitalism and socialism. A way for Karl Marx ideas to be passed on around the world to start this type of revolution was that he started writing books about his ideas, started communist groups and went to every socialist meeting he heard about to argue his point for communism. Marx called the trade owners or known as the "Boss" as "BOURGEOISIE" a french word meaning the social class and he called the "Workers" as "PROLETARIAT" a french word meaning the wage labourers.

Karl Marx and the Indusrial Revolution!!!!

Karl marx was a german and his ideas was known as communism. He was born a Jew, but his father converted the family to Christianity in order to get a job. He did not believe in god and thought workers were controlled by religion. The ideas of Karl Marx were not used in the communist countries. Marx believed that workers would control government, but communist governments were strict and dictatorial. Workers were often forced to work on huge collective farms and factory workers often had to fulfill quotas. In most Communist nations, the press was censored. They were not allowed to print news stories that criticized the government. People who spoke out against the Soviet government were treated harshly. Karl marx was known as the founder of Communism.
In the other hand Karl marx did not like the industrial revolution because he thought that the industrial revolution was to make the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. This influenced him to make the religion known as "Communism". He wanted workers to start a revolution against their owners since there were more workers then owners. He wanted everyone to get payed the same and with no social classes that will tell people what class you are in and whatnot.
