wealth in society. These twoeliefs brought the societysnderclass down in to theutter while the big companywners and upper class wasitting gaining even more

money, not helping the poor.

The Communist ideas werentery popular and didntpread much during thesemes. However, later on they

will.

An example of some of the communisteaders are Vladimir Lenin of Russia, MaoZedong of Russia, and Fidel Castro of

Cuba. All were very strict, cruel leaderswho caused internal war in theirountries and radical political reform.

They all made their own political partieswith the same goal of communism.

Communist ideas were spreading aboutn newer areas, such as Cambodia, China,

Korea, Russia and Cuba. Communismwas not viewed at this time as a very

ood idea to help the people. The onlyhing coming out of it was war andevolution and many attempted to stop it.

The United States and Russia had theCold War or the American fight againstworld Communism.

All of the Communist leaders of theworld created their own political party.Lenin was one of the first to adopt KarlMarxs ideas and Joseph Stalin after himwho led the Soviet Union or The Union of

oviet Socialist Republics. This Party wassocialist party in Russia. Communism

was just another form of extremeocialism. This party also worked with

Cubas Fidel Castro during the Cold Warnd Arms Race.

Castros ideas were built of Lenins andLenins were built off of Karl Marxsdeas. Cuba also had an alliance with theoviet union. Castro became very reliant

pon the Soviets after the Cuban missilerisis.

Communism after Marx was viewed as aad political idea and had to be put to atop, currently only a handful of countriesre communist, the Soviet Unionissipated.

DemocraticReform

The SettingDuring the 1800s people wanted reform

o the democratic government that theywere living in. Voting was limited to menwho only owned a substantial bit of landnd women were excluded from the righto vote. Beginning in 1830 protests begano occur in England in favor of a bill inarliament that would extend suffrage, or

he right to vote.

The revolution of 1830 in France scaredarliament leaders, they feared that theiolent revolution would spread to

Britain. They passed the Reform Bill of 832 which ceased the propertyequirements so that some men in the

middle class can vote. It also modernizedistricts for electing parliament membersnd gave industrial cities moreepresentation. Women were still left outf the picture though and some men weretill unable to vote.

Another movement arose among theworkers called the Chartist Movement.They wanted suffrage for all men. Theylso wanted Parliament to be moreesponsive with the lower classes filled

with factory workers and other groups.arliament rejected their demands thoughut they continued to protest. Theyontinued to protest for Political reformnd Parliament finally made theiremands law.

Queen Victoria was the monarch overBritain at the time with all of the protestsnd movements going on. She was

onsiderably less powerful and influentialue to Parliament. During this time

Even after all of the reform going on inBritain still no country allowed woman toote, as more men were allowed to, more

women started to protest. Small reformarties began to form and more and more

women demanded the right to vote,ausing parliament to be in high demand.

TheProblemThe problem at the timewas that the governmentwas not giving their peoplehe representation that they

wanted. Woman still had nouffrage and most of the

working class did not havehe right to vote as well.

Because of all of the rightshat the government wasnt

giving more and morerotests began to rise,

making the governmentworried and fearful that itmight get out of control.

The amount of the

was a very small percentagend amount of theopulation. People still

The WSPU became the mostmilitant organization forwomans rights and was thebiggest influence for gettingeform in the nation.

The GoalThe Womens Social and PoliticalUnion (the WSPU) was the leadingmilitant organization campaigning forWomens suffrage in England. Theirmembers were known as suffragettes.The WSPU was formed by EmmelinePankhurst on October 10, 1903 by sixwomen who became the groupeaders. It was a women-onlyrganization that campaigned forocial reforms and for an extension of

womens suffrage. They believed inexual equality.

They had a slogan that betterdescribed their militant behavior thatwas deeds not words. At first the

WSPU only had peaceful campaignsn the beginning, being part of thenon-militant National Union of Womens Suffrage Societies. Themembers of this group however brokepart into the WSPU in order toecome more militant and get more of reaction from the government. At

irst they had a lack of success bywhat they were doing by persuading

oliticians through meetings.

The WSPU also convinced a memberf Parliament Bamford Slack to

This bill however was quickly talkedut and ignored. The publicity of it

greatly increased the growth of thegroup leading to be more popular,

The Eventsn order to gain more significance inheir fight for suffrage, the WSPU ledby Emmeline Pankhurst had to fightor their rights. They began a series of

demonstrations in lobbies of Parliament causing multiple arrests of he growing numbers of the group.

They mostly focused on attackingwhich political party that was ingovernment and refused to supportegislation.

There was a split in the group whichaused the Womens Freedom Leagueo form. After the split a new

newspaper for the group was made,Votes for Women which was thegroupss own newspaper.

The suffragettes became even moremilitant in leader years bringing therotests into prison even. Their

rotests also included breaking of windows of shops and buildings inrder to gain more attention. Theylso had multiple public speakingsrom Emmeline Pankhurst and other

WSPU leaders in order to get morettention on womens suffrage.

A new suffrage act was introduced in910 but this just led to even more

destruction in public areas because itwas delay ed in its purpose. This led toburning of stately homes andombing of public buildings, also to

who was trampled by the Kingshorse. This quickly got out of controlnd was a dangerous protest againsthe government.

Many of their protests includedviolence, burning of churches,destruction of railways, smashinggovernment windows, and spitting at

oliticians. In one case Mary Leigh, amember of the WSPU, threw a hatchett the Prime minister. In 1913 54,000ounds worth of damage was caused4,000 in April alone.

Pankhurst was exp elled in 1914.

With the approaching World WarChristabel Pankhurst, the daughter of Emmeline, lived in Paris in order tobe without fear of arrest was theeader of the WSPU at the time. Sherdered for the group to abandon itsampaigns in favour of a nationalistictance supporting the British

government in the war. The WSPUtopped publishing their newspaper, The Suffragette, and started a new onealled Britannia .

Most of the members supported theffort to fight in the war but a smallmount started the Suffragettes of the

Womens Social Political Union andhe Independent Womens Social and

Political Union. Theses groupshowever, were less influential in theiright for womens suffrage and didnt

have much say in it.

The WSPU lost public attention andwas dissolved in 1917, and Christabelnd Emmeline Pankhurst founded the

Womens Party. Which was a minorolitical party in the UK. This grouplaimed that the fight for the World

War was more important than theight for womans suffrage at the time.

Not until after the was womensuffrage recognized. In mostountries, full universal suffrage -

with the inclusion of woman -ollowed universal male suffrage byen to twenty years in the early 1900s.
