    Buddhist Riot of 1963

    The Buddhist community was determined to override Diem’s policy. It was a time when only the most dramatic measures could have had an effect on the world, but they desperately needed the attention of the world in support of their cause, so they sought the appropriate news media to capture the moment. “The Buddhist revolt reached a new dimension on June 11th, Thich Quang Duc immolated himself in front of a large crowd at a busy intersection in downtown Saigon.” (Moss, p. 104) The self-immolation was the start of a change that would led to the impossible of the overthrown of Diem government policy. Thousands of people who did not think much of the Buddhist had now supported their cause and had joined in their protest. Diem however, did not try to conciliate the problem among the Buddhist community; instead Diem and his brother perpetrated a series of actions they imposed curfew.…

    Compare and Contrast the Ottoman, Safavid, Munguhl Empires

    On the Political side, the Ottoman Turks was the most successful at maintaining power for a longer time. It was able to survive until modern times. The two other empires collapsed by the seventeenth century. The leader of the Ottoman Turks was known as the Sultan which was similar to an emperor. It was hereditary. Islamic Law was applied to all Muslims. Regarding the Safavid empire politically, the Shahs walked around the streets in disguise in order to find the sincerity of the citizens. The high positions were given by merit and often were foreigners. In the Mughal Empire politically, Even though the population was predominately Hindu most high government positions were held by Muslims. Functioned by dynasties, and leadership was hereditary. This created power struggles between the military and the power families which led to their demise. Examples would be the struggle between Shah Jahan’s sons. Another main factor in the demise of the Empire was when the British got a seat on the imperial court of Agra.…

    Muslim Empire Dbq

    The Mughal empire was founded by a Chagatai Turk named Babur, who claimed descent from both Chinggis Khan and Tamerlane. The Mughal was a very influential empire, but it reached its greatest point under the leadership of Aurangzeb. During his reign, Aurangzeb conducted a continuous campaign to impel Mughal authority deep into the southern India. The Mughals were also known to be a very rich and powerful empire. They used their wealth to build up their military and to show other nations how easily they could buy advanced weaponry and armor to strengthen their army (Doc. 2). Even though the Mughals were a very rich and influential empire, the leadership of the dynasty became very naive and ignorant. The monarch would give land to their military men, and whoever lived the villages within it automatically became were under their control. The people living in these villages started questioning “why should I toil for a tyrant who may come tomorrow and lay his rapacious hands upon all I possess?” (Doc. 5). As a result, the government became faulty and untrustworthy to the citizens and this caused a decline in their…

    On April 17, 1975, Communist dictator Pol Pot led the Khmer Rouge into the the capital city of Phnom Penh, Cambodia. As people fled the capital, the Khmer Rouge took control of the Cambodian government, establishing their rule shrouded in blood and murder. Their goal: turn the country of Cambodia into a communist agrarian utopia. Although the Khmer Rouge only held power for four years, it was an incredibly brutal time. The Khmer Rouge murdered between 1.7 to 2.2 million people in an attempt to create their perfect society. People were starved, beaten, imprisoned, and executed by the Khmer Rouge. By examining the history of their conflict, the casualty count, and the ensuing fallout, it is clear that the mass murder at the hands of the Khmer Rouge was the…

    Compare and Contrast: Muslim Empires

    Between 1450 and 1750, three great Muslim empires arose—the Ottomans, the Safavids, and the Mughals. The Ottomans arose after the Seljuk Turkic kingdom of Rum in Eastern Anatolia collapsed, which occurred because of a Mongol invasion in 1243. The area fell into a chaotic period after that because the Mongols did not directly rule it. In search of riches, Turkic peoples, including the Ottomans who dominated the rest, flooded into the area. By the 1350s, the Ottomans were advancing from their Asia Minor strongholds. Under Mehmed I, they conquered a large part of the Balkans, and, in 1453, they captured Constantinople of the Byzantine Empire under Mehmed II, “The Conqueror,” thus establishing an empire from the Balkans that included most of the Arab world. Like the Ottomans, the Safavids arose from struggles of rival Turkish tribes. In the fourteenth century, there were decades of fierce struggles, until, finally, after three successive Safavid leaders died, a Sufi commander named Ismâ’il survived. He and his followers conquered the city of Tabriz in 1501, as well as most of Persia in the next decade. They then drove the Ozbegs, neighboring nomadic Turks, back to Central Asia and advanced to Iraq. Lastly, the Mughal Dynasty was founded by Babur, who descended from Turkic warriors. He first led an invasion of India in 1526 and conquered the Indus and Ganges plains. After Babur died of an illness, his son, Humayan, succeeded him and was attacked from enemies of all sides because of Babur’s death. He was expelled from India in 1540, but eventually restored Mughal rule by 1556. Humayan’s son, Akbar, would later succeed him and become the greatest ruler in Mughal history. The Ottomans, Safavids and Mughals constructed significant empires, but each adopted different ways of treating their conquered people and developed diverse methods for managing social, political, and economic systems.…
