1. How were the Russian Revolution(s) of 1917 and the "velvet revolutions" of 1989 alike? In what ways were they different?
2. Does
terrorism really work? Have terrorists
ever succeeded in achieving their political, economic, or social objectives? Why then does terrorism seem to be
worsening?
3. Why
do portions of eastern Europe (including the former USSR) seem to be moving
away from cooperation and union while Western Europe is moving toward greater
economic and political cooperation?
4. Why
did communism fall so quickly and easily throughout Eastern Europe in
1989?
