Abstract
This paper analyzes the fragility of new revolutionary governments. It compares and contrasts two revolutions in order to explain its points. It looks at the French Revolution of 1789 and the Chinese Revolution of 1911. The paper discusses each revolution and shows why the new government in each case was a fragile and unstable political environment.
From the Paper
"From outside China, Sun and other revolutionaries attempted to form a new revolutionary party. Sun, having noted that Shikai had out manoeuvred the revolutionaries at every turn, decided to consolidate the various factions into one larger group that could respond better to the President's actions. Sun was to be in total control of this confederation of rebel organizations. Thus even the revolutionaries of China had reverted to an authoritarian model, one that many of the smaller revolutionary sects considered completely wrong. It was during this time of tenuous and dispirited rebel planning to topple Shakai that World War I erupted, and parts of China were occupied by Japan, completely disrupting the revolutionary process and leaving Shakai more or less completely unopposed."

Abstract
This paper refutes the old notion that it was Chinese cultural isolationism that caused Qing China to evade European influence. This paper provides a full exploration of the connections to other regional powers during the Qing period. The paper further discusses the bordering areas that were a grave concern to the Qing Dynasty as a foreign Manchu entity that had usurped Ming power. The paper provides examples of the complexity of East Asian and other Asian relations, Qing strategies, and the natural response to European involvement of trying to close China's borders. The paper also reviews domestic problems that threatened Qing power.
From the Paper
"A mistake was made for many years of seeing China - or all of East Asia -- as isolated from outside influence, as part of a Eurocentric view of world history. The idea of China as especially stagnant and backward, and thus, unwilling to open her doors to Western business activities, helped a number of rationales for European imperialism, in ideas of what might be for China's own good, or the irrationality of permitting Western permanence in the region. In contrast, one can see how Chinese influence extended through most of Asia and far beyond, especially after the 16th century, as a result of the Qing consolidation."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine the fire at the Triangle Shirtwaist Company in New York City in 1911, as well as the legislative and cultural impact of the fire. The plan of the research will be to set forth the historical and cultural context in which the fire took place and the facts of the incident and then to discuss the fire's influence on American attitudes toward industrial and trade-union activity as well as on changes in the law affecting employer behavior and employee safety.
The nascent American trade-union movement in the waning years of the Progressive Era and the significant gap between rich and poor in that period loom in the background of the Triangle fire. Even though much of the power behind the extraordinary growth in material wealth in the U.S. was concentrated in the industrial east and in pockets of prosperity in the west, the.."

Abstract
The paper examines the historical meaning behind several important events in East Asian history through the 'people' perspective and nationalism. The paper argues that although nationalism was the driving force behind these events, particularly in China, diverse events were brought about by different groups of 'people' in that society. The paper focuses on China and Korea and examines the the Japanese colonial rule in Korea, the 1911 Revolution in China and the Chinese May Fourth movement.
From the Paper
"The situation in Korea at the beginning of the 20th century was particularly complex. The Korean peninsula was of interest to both Russian and Japanese imperial interests for economic and strategic reasons. After the Russo-Japanese war (1904-1905) Korea was acknowledged as Japanese sphere of interest by United States and Britain. In 1910 Koreans officially lost their sovereignty when the treaty of annexation was signed. Many see the Japanese rule over Korea as contradictory. Korean people suffered from the police regime the Japanese authorities have established. The punishment for riots and crimes were strict. The Korean participation in all forms of government was cancelled."

Abstract
This paper analyzes Lu Xun's, "Diary of a Madman", written in 1918 response to China's feudalistic society that was still hanging on since ancient times despite the Revolution of 1911. In particular, the paper discusses Lu Xun's use of cannibalism as a symbol for the ancient ways because the history of China was filled with it. The paper relates that Lu Xun's story exposes the cannibalistic feudal society of pre-revolutionary China and concludes that Lu Xun felt that if the people of China could get past tradition and fear, there could be hope for a new social norm.
From the Paper
"China was filled with it. He tells of a traditional ceremony where a son of an ill parent "should slice off a piece of his own flesh, boil it, and let (the parent) eat it" (41). There were also passages about eating human flesh in ancient medical texts and historical books (34). One ancient "medical" cure for tuberculosis was to eat a bread roll that had been soaked in human blood (38), a treatment that yielded few survivors. In one historical text the meat of a human infant was mentioned as being a delicacy (38). Also, stories have been documented in that famines in China have caused villages to resort to cannibalism in order to survive. Just prior to the revolution, a fellow member of Lu Xun's hometown of Shaoxing, Xu Xilin, was executed for a revolutionary-based murder of a Qing official. When he was captured the bodyguards of the official cut out Xu Xilin's heart and liver and ate them (38). "

Abstract
Impelled by a mixture of motives, republican Italy seized control of the northern coast of Libya in 1911-1912. This research paper discusses the colonization of Libya by Italy between 1911 and 1943 and the implications of that process for contemporary Libya. The paper also discusses the current status of relations between the two nations.
From the Paper
"To the Italians' consternation, the Young Turks in Constantinople resisted the Italian invasion. They dispatched an able young officer, Mustafa Kemal, to organize defenses inland from the coastal beachheads initially seized by the Italians. Preoccupied with the threat posed by the First Balkan War and aided by the intervention of the great powers, Turkey under the Treaty of Ouchy of October 1912 granted independence to Tripolitania and Cyrenaica while Italy simultaneously announced their annexation. A six year war then followed between the Italians and Tripolitanian nationalists and bedouin (Sanusi) tribesmen in Cyrenaica. Italian forces in Libya suffered many defeats at the hands of the Sanusi in Fezzan in the southwest and in the central Sirtica desert. Metz (1989) said "Italian forces [in Libya] at the end of World War I were still confined to the coastal enclaves, sometimes under conditions of siege" (p. 25)."

Abstract
This paper discusses how on the 1st October 1949, Mao Tse-tung proclaimed the establishment of the "People's Republic of China". The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) acknowledged its takeover of China as a "people's victory" over the Kuomintang (KMT) - Nationalist Party - and the country's liberation from imperial control. It looks at how the failure of the Chinese Republic after 1916 to replace Manchu autocracy with an effective central government, created confusion and disorder, and it allowed local powerful individuals to take control. It also shows how the revolution of 1949, was the inevitable outcome of essential reforms, which had been postponed since 1911.
From the Paper
"Ironically, the CCP came far closer to fulfilling the 3 Principles of the People than had the Nationalists. They had united a large part of the nation in resistance to the Japanese. In their "liberated areas", had created political structures which, though rudimentary for western standards, provided for the first time effective administration in the countryside. Moreover, the local population had been encouraged through their peasant associations and cooperatives to participate in the organisation of their own affairs. After 1945, the Kuomintang's great political weakness was that they had had ten years of government in which to prove the validity of their claims, however, that decade had been distinguished by administrative inefficiency and self seeking.

Abstract
Examines traces of different styles of art from various periods in Henri Matisse's 1911 painting "The Red Studio." Indirect and direct influences, including Mary Cassatt, Van Gogh and other Post-Impressionists, Greek vase painting, High Gothic and Early Renaissance one-point perspective. Matisse's artistic purpose in the painting. Use of color as expression.
From the Paper
"It is possible to detect traces of several different styles of art from various periods in Henri Matisse's 1911 painting Red Studio (oil on canvas, 71 1/4" x 86 1/4"). In some cases these traces are the sign of direct influence. An example of this is the influence of artists, such as the nineteenth century painter and printmaker Mary Cassatt, who first integrated ideas from Japanese art into the Western tradition. A second example of an immediate influence is the use of intense, unusual colors as a means of emotional expression found in the work of Vincent van Gogh and other Post-Impressionist painters. Other relationships between Red Studio and earlier art seem to be purely coincidental. The simple lines of many of the objects in Matisse's painting, for example, bear similarities to Greek red-figure vase painting from the early classical era. But there are ..."

Rockefeller's Standard Oil Company, 2002.
An analysis of the reasons behind the dissolution of Rockefeller's Standard Oil company in 1911 which eventually caused stocks to rise.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper will focus on the breakup of the Standard Oil company in 1911, and will briefly discuss some of the reasons why this dissolution came about. This paper argues that the company's clandestine, and often dubious business practices began to take their toll on public opinion which was becoming increasingly hostile to the Standard. It was not only the practices of a single company that faced such hostile opposition, although it was the largest and most successful of the developing trusts at the end of the nineteenth century. It was also that Standard Oil was the industrial flagship of a wider trust-busting movement. The paper will conclude by discussing the inefficacy of the dissolution, which ironically caused the company's stocks to rise.

Artist Henri Matisse, 2005.
This paper discusses artist Henri Matisse and analyzes two of his paintings: "The Blue Nude" (1907) and "The Red Studio" (1911).

Abstract
This paper explains that, although Henri Matisse and Picasso are noted as two of the greatest artists of the 20th century, Matisse, whose career spanned many decades, was always humble about his art especially his origins as an artist. The author points out that his work did not show natural items; instead, he attempted to capture emotions, sensations and the experience of his subjects, which very often took on a life of their own and looked more like caricatures rather than real subjects. The paper relates that Matisse is know for his vivid colors and one-dimensionality as seen in his paintings "The Blue Nude" and "The Red Studio".
From the Paper
"In "The Red Studio," Matisse's use of color, imagination, and freedom of expression are all abundantly clear. In the one-dimensional work, detailed paintings clutter the walls, giving a sense of space and yet seeming closely confined at the same time. That is one very interesting aspect of Matisse's work throughout his career. His work was all flat and one-dimensional, and yet it did not seem flat or uninteresting at all. Critic Danto continues, "In 'The Red Studio' we see a corner, but the color of the walls, which meet at right angles, is uniform, as if they stood in the same plane."

Qing China and Russia, 2006.

Abstract
This paper explores the non-possibility of Chinese 'isolationism' during the Qing period in the repeated need to deal with domestic and foreign powers from the beginning of the Dynasty. The paper first discusses the Russian frontier c. 1650 and moves through events to the 19th century conflicts with European powers and the US, Japanese policy, Korea, and other aspects of the era.
From the Paper
"The Eurocentric approach to East Asia's history led to notions of static, isolationist powers till the coming of 19th century Westerns. However, when reviewing the progress of the Qing dynasty after the mid-17th century, there seems no time when Beijing was not involved in sometimes-complex relations with Japan, Korea, or other powers. In the 1630s, the rising Qing Dynasty assumed direction of trade and diplomacy involving Japan and Korea that had grown up over centuries, coped with bordering Mongols and Southeast Asians, and Russian incursions that in 1651 produced a Russian fort at Albazin on the Amur River."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine the career and life of Porfirio Diaz, the political leader of Mexico between the late 1870s and 1911. Diaz, whose period of rule spanned the time between the Juarez Wars and the Villa-Zapata Revolt, helped to define the future of Mexico in many ways. Some historians view him as an evil, brutal dictator, while others see him as a hard-headed but highly productive founder of a modern nation. One fact is certain: Very few of his contemporaries and compatriots regarded him lightly. It was virtually impossible to be indifferent about a regime as extensive and long-lasting as that of Porfirio Diaz.
One critical account of Diaz divides his life into four parts. The first is from birth to age 24, when he joined the army to fight the ruling dictator, Antonio Lopex de Santa Anna, ... "
