Collapse Of Communisim

Communism was a system used to run a nation or a government. It was a failed way to run a government. Some of the European countries like Ches republic, china and the soviet Union but soon most of the Communist countries changed there government to like a democracy. One main reason why communism collapsed is because of the way the money was used and how the land was owned , which messed up most of the life styles. The cold war proved that communism was the primitive way to run a country because even though the soviet Union was able to build weapons fast and able to keep up with America it was only the matter of time till there economy collapsed and communism falls in Russia. In 1990 it fell in Russia.

Other countries also started to disown Communism and it started to fall all over Europe. Except in Cuba and north Korea. There is still some what communism left in china.

Mandela South Africa

Back in Africa it was brutal how some of the Africans were treated like slaves because of there skin color and how they look. They basically all had the same jobs making barley anything or making nothing as slaves for the "white man" people say. Mandela was trying to stop it in a way he was the Gandhi of the Africans or at least try to. He was the leader of a underground group called the African national Congress. While he was in the group he was sentenced in prison for life in 1964. The reason why is because they wanted him to stay quiet and they didn't want a revolt against the Apartheid government. After 27 years of imprisonment and his people still fighting the government he was freed in 1990 which meant the end of the corrupt government.

After that he was awarded the noble peace prize and elected president of south Africa.

African Independence

The African people were slaves to Europe for a while. what happened is that different nations in Europe came over in Africa and took over the land , they set up there own political boundaries. What they did was that they went to there land got resources to make back in Europe to sell back. It was like a big source of income. For example Cecil Rhodes took over what is now called Zimbabwe and he named it Rhodesia. He basically used Africans has slaves to get elephants tusks and rubber trees to make rubber.

After world war II the British were going to set up a government in Africa but sooner or later it was costing too much money to keep on coming back and fort. Controlling the country was being expensive so they gave Africa there Independence.
