China in WW2

Pros:

-Turned China from a largely uncivilized, stone-age society to a modernized, industrial world power.

-United China after 18 years of bloody civil war and was at the verge of falling apart.

-Led and organized Chinese resistance fighters against Japanese invaders during WWII.

Cons:

-Responsible for massive genocide against the upper classes that made Hitler's atrocities pale in comparison.

-His political blunders led to a famine that claimed the lives of between 20 and 43 million Chinese citizens.

-Attempted to completely abolish any traces of Chinese culture or history predating himself.

-Generally opposed to anything religious or educational. Commanded a group of thugs known as Red Guards, who were ordered to burn books, blow up Churches and libraries, destroy ancient Chinese artifacts, and publicly execute scholars, intellectuals, and religious figures.

-Didn't brush his teeth.

He wasn't as good a leader as Lin Biao, which meant the NRA had much less discipline than the PLA. Many of the Nationalist soldiers therefore got carried away with their power and this often led to violence against the people. The Chinese people always saw the Nationalists as the opposition; they terrorised them rather than appeasing them (like the Communists with Land Reform) and Chiang Kai Shek never tried to improve his army or his policies in this way, meaning that the people were never on his side.

No, Chiang Kai-Shek was the leader of the anti-communist Kuomintang regime, which ruled China before the Communists took power in 1949 under the leadership of Mao Tse-Sung.The leader of the Vietnamese Communists was Ho Chi Minh.

Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht were probably the two most famous.

Great Leap Forward

You never know, but as there are only 3 episodes left, the odds are looking slim. Regardless, be it this season or the next, I'd love to see him come back!

If considered by contribution to Mekong, the main tributaries would be Se San river, Se Kong River in Cambodia (about 25%), Chi-Mun River in Thailand (About 8%) and Nam Ngum and Nam Cadiam in Laos (about 10%). Nevertheless, the original source of Mekong itself still plays the important role by providing about 18% during wet season and up to 30% for dry season.

If we define ravioli as simply dough wrapped around a filling of meat, cheese or vegetable, then Chinese steamed buns (featured in dim sum) probably qualifies, along with wontons. Then there's the Eastern European/Jewish kreplach, Polish pierogis, pelmeni and vareniki in Russian-speaking countries, and Maultasche from Germany.

true

When David Copperfield goes inside the first box there was a switch made, copperfield goes under the box and goes into the hollow stairs he then gets carried away inside the hollow stairs. A lookalike in shadow form pretends to walk through the first part of the wall, after he plays his part he gets inside the hollow base platform. By that time the assistance's pull the sheets away to show that he walked through the first part of the wall.

The stairs that copperfield is in is behind the camera boom as it makes a complete rotation over the wall. The assistants on the other side of the wall take the same stairs and put it next to the other plate form. The assistants climb the special stairs and hold up a small white sheet of cloth. It looks like David Copperfield is pushing his and and face through the cloth. The secret behind this action is that the person on the right is just controlling a pair of fake hands which he controls with his right-hand. The person on the left is just pushing a fake face through the cloth with his left-hand. The two assistants then drop the small sheet cloth and listen to the wall to see if David is all right. They then slowly roll down the sheets to cover the frame box up and make sure it is tucked in good, they go down the stairs to wait for copperfield to make his way through the second part of the wall. All he has to do now is get out of the hollow stairs and inside the box and watch his angles with the light. He then comes closer to the light so it looks like he is coming through the second part of the wall. He pulls the sheets away to reveal himself, the white cloth stays on the floor because it contains the props.

The Great wall didn't impact the environment much as the north area of China is mostly desert-like. The building materials used to construct it did not create much of an impact either. Keep in mind, only the kind of population such as modern day's can create a huge impact.

It can be argued that the wall separated a few populations of animals, but that shouldn't matter unless you're asking about evolutionary biology.

China is known as the country of the people of Han. The Communist Party overtook the Chinese mainland in 1949.
