Chapter 22

Global communism seemed to have been influenced by Karl Marx in the nineteenth century. A lot of European socialist believed that they were able to achieve their goals through the democratic process. Many people during this period wanted to be known as a  “communist” in the late 1900’s but this led a revolution in Europe. Russia was one of the countries to be involved in the revolution during the communist era. The Soviet Union also joined the revolution and united themselves with Russia.  As time passed by, 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 were the USSR and China but it also managed to 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 in Europe and parties took control in many different areas.
