Assessment

For this assessment, you are going to create your own informative and creative photo story.

Here is a quick summary of the assessment requirements.

Step 1: Study the list of nine images at the bottom of the screen and select five that represent what you believe were the greatest factors that contributed to the fall of the Soviet Union. There is no correct order for this activity, however you must be able to justify the order that you have selected.

Step 2: Create a photo story by arranging the images in order of importance and write a description for each image.

Each description should include the following elements:

The description should be two to four sentences in length.
The description should explain Who, What, Where, When, and Why the person/event is important.
Step 3: Finally, you will need to explain your choices by writing a one-paragraph summary explaining your ranking and providing an overall picture of the demise of communism in the Soviet Union.

The summary paragraph should include the following elements:

be at least five sentences in length

This attributed to the fall of the USSR. This is was the policy of Glasnost, aka the liberalization of relations between the USA and the USSR. Soviet Socialism was in itself destructive because it creates an educated elite, which could then import foreign ideas like democracy into the nation. Combined with the Glasnost, which included freeing the press from restrictions under previous Soviet leaders, this led to the fall of the Soviet Union as the educated elite needed democracy and liberty.

Anyways, what you need help on?

Answer 34

well, you dont have to but if you want to, you can explain to me why you chose those options.

Answer 35

Well, I explained Detente already. Solidarity was a Polish Trade Union led by Lech Walesa. It represented the workers of Poland, a Soviet Puppet State. The Polish economy was shrinking by 2% in 1979, and this led to the starting of peaceful protests against the communist regime. Solidarity established circles internationally, with the Anti-Soviet Left-wing and the Polish Pope. By pressuring the Polish authorities to organize an election, it encouraged other Anti-Soviet groups in the Eastern Bloc to the same with their governments.

Answer 36

In effect, the domino effect. Solidarity led to Poland having free elections, and a ton of other revolutions followed.

Answer 37

I did two. :D

You can do the rest. If you need help, just shoot me a PM.

Answer 54

yes yours and i understand what its saying i just dont know how id make it into my own words.

Answer 55

Well, firstly, to create a paragraph into your own words, take out the main idea of the paragraph

Answer 56

My paragraph on Detente's had several main ideas:

-Soviet Socialism created an educated elite because education under Soviet Socialism was universal
-The educated elite knew about the achievements of Capitalist America, and wanted that in their own country

Answer 57

Answer 58

Answer 59

Answer 60

Berlin Wall? Makes sense. After all it was the boundary between the Eastern and Western bloc. Do some research on the ones I have chosen :D

Answer 61

where it says this "The educated elite knew about the achievements of Capitalist America, and wanted that in their own country" who is the educated elite?

Answer 62

The people with higher education, or even education, could be considered the educated elite

Answer 63

where were they located, because you said they want what america has, so where are they?

Answer 64

The Soviet Educated Elite.

Answer 65

Answer 71

Ofs

Answer 72

what?

Answer 73

Of course

Answer 74

im stuck on those two

Answer 75

..?

Answer 76

Romanian Revolution:

The Romanian Revolution started when a pastor made several dismissing comments about the Romanian Government, which was Socialist. When the pastor was dismissed by the government, which in effect meants that he had to give up his home, crowds protected him. This led to a violent crackdown, which incited nationwide protests. After several confrontations with government forces, the military switched sides and backstabbed Nicolae Ceaușescu, executing him.

Answer 77

Importance:

This was the last Warsaw Pact country where the leader was to be forcibly ousted by a mass protest and civil war. This led to more encouragement, not only to the people of the USSR, but to the military to rise. This also severely weakened the Soviet prestige, because they had now effectively lost all it's puppet states gained from the Warsaw Pact.

Answer 78

whats importance?

Answer 79

Why it is important

Answer 80

i finished my paragraph thanks to your help, would you like to help me with the Gorbachev appointed as Communist Party General Secretary

Answer 81

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail_Gorbachev#Rise_in_the_Communist_Party

Answer 82

In case I suddenly have to go to sleep

Answer 83

Gorbachev was appointed the General-Secretary of the Soviet Communist in 1985, after the death of Leonid Brezhev. His reforms waere aimed at decreasing tensions with the US (detente), increasing political transperency (Glasnost) and becoming more capitalist-like in it's policies (perestroika). However, all this led to failure, as the Soviet State was in a deep period of economic reccession, causing people to be unsatisfied. In some cases, you had to wait in long lines just for a loaf of bread. Seeing that the Capitalists always had bread and meat, this caused the people to have extreme unease and wanted a change of systems and government, instead of a reform.

Answer 84

can you give me some pointers on what to say in my summary of why i choase those

Answer 85

Summary:

List why you chose the Berlin Wall and the Velvet Revolution.

I chose Solidarity and the Romanian Revolution because they were the start and end of the domino effect; Solidarity started it by pressuring authorities for an election, and the execution of the Romanian dictator ended it because it ended the dominoes of revolution. I chose Gorbachev because he enacted reforms that were harmful to the Soviet state.
