The Soviet Union in The Nineteen Hundres

In the late 20th century, the Soviet economy started to collapse. The collapse of the Soviet Union dramatically changed the global economic environment. Economic situation is not good, war in Afghanistan has exacerbated the situation. The cause of the war was an attempt to promote social reform and land redistribution of the Afghan government backed by the Soviet Union that threatened the Islamic tradition. The Soviet Union spent a lot of money and the success rate was very low. Mikhail Gorbachev, who served as Soviet leader at this time, was keen to bring reforms to the Soviet Union.

A major change in the Cold War occurs in 1985 when Mikhail Gorbachev became leader of the Soviet Union. He met Ronald Reagan four times. Gorbachev withdrew troops from Afghanistan. He agreed to destroy all medium range and short range nuclear missiles with the United States.

At the end of the century, the structural power of the global economic change brought about the erosion of the Soviet superpowers, and Mikhail Gorbachev 's attempt to reform accelerated the collapse of the Soviet Union. However, Ronald Reagan and George H. W are defensive accumulation and negotiations. Bush's skills to manage the end of the Cold War are very important to the final outcome. Perhaps if the Roosevelt is not the president, and Germany merged its power, the international system of the 1940s will fulfill the vision of a conflict-prone geopolitical world George Orwell. Perhaps if Truman is not the president, Stalin has made significant progress in Europe and the Middle East, the Soviet empire will become stronger, and the polarization may last long. If Eisenhower and Bush are not presidents and other leaders are not so successful in avoiding war, the advantage of the US will probably get on track (because the US has intervened in Vietnam for a while )

Modern readers are often introduced to Orwell as a novelist, especially through his highly successful game "Animal Farm" and "April 19". The former is often thought to reflect the collapse of the Soviet Union after the Russian Revolution and the emergence of Stalinism; the latter is a life under totalitarian rule. Aldous Huxley often compares 1984 with the brave new world; both are powerful fainting novels warning of the future world, and the state machine dominates social life altogether. In 1984, 1940, Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 won the Prometheus Prize for his contribution to distorted literature. In 2011, he again received the animal farm.
