Chapter 22: Global Communism

Global communism seemed to have been inspired by Karl Marx in the nineteenth century. Most of the European socialist believed that they were capable of achieving their goals through the democratic process. Many people during the time would want to be known as “communist” in the late 1900’s but what it led for a revolution. Russia was one of those countries to go into revolution during the communist era. The Soviet Union was united with Russia so they as well went into revolution. There was a point where communism was very high and most of the world’s population was being governed by communist regimes. The most important communist societies was the USSR and China but it also spread to the eastern side of Europe, North Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Cuba, Afghanistan. As we can see communism spread in a lot of countries and parties took control in many areas.
