    Revolutionary beliefs were a main factor in the destruction of the Qing Dynasty. Sun Yat-Sen’s nationalist party became preferable to what was seen as an old fashioned rule dominated by Confucian values. The GMD’s ‘three principles’ was sought after as they promoted democracy, peoples livelihood and nationalism which was lacking at the time. Another individual such as Yuan Shikai also helped bring about the downfall of the Qing Dynasty, using his humiliation as motivation he built up an army that would be able to crush the dynasty and be ruler of China himself. These two men helped increase opposition against the Qing which in turn led to their downfall.…

Under the rule of Hipólito Irigoyen, Argentina used profits accumulated during the war to industrialize and improve their transportation systems and public utilities but it was also a time of social tumult. Workers and middle-class people demanded social reforms and a larger voice in politics. Later, in 1946, Juan Perón developed a populist dictatorship very much like the Vargas regime in Brazil. In East Asia, Yuan Shikai was a strong military leader but had no political program. He later formed the political party called Guomindang which was unsuccessful and eventually led to the military control of the government.

The communist dictators of Cuba, Fidel Castro, and China, Mao Zedong, lead revolutions to overthrow their governments and to help the people of the lower classes prosper.

Therefore, although the freedom of religious belief does exist, a strong interdependence between the state and religion still remains and in the end, the government possesses absolute authority. Buddhism remains China’s most prevalent religion with over 102 million followers (Gnanarama 1998, 4). Because of the strong tie between government and religion, the…
