Background 1. After WWII the Malayan economy was disrupted, there were strikes between 1946 and 1948 due to low wages and food inflation. During this time the British administration was trying to repair Malaya’s economy. Protestors were dealt with harshly by being arrested or deported (Perryman, n.d.). On 18 June 1948 three estate managers were murdered in Perak, Northern Malaya by guerrillas of the Malayan Communist Party (MCP) who were ordered to go on the offensive in accordance with the Soviet global strategy from this the Malayan emergency was declared.

Once the British declared the Malayan emergency in June 1948 the Malayan government was slow to react to the MCP and did not appoint a director of operations to counter the MCP insurgency until March 1950 (Perryman, n.d.). In 1951 the situation further deteriorated when the British High Commissioner was assassinated in October 1951. This attack galvanised the British resolve to meet the threat posed by the MCP. In 1955 Royal Australian Navy ships began their contribution to the development and defence of the Federation of Malaya in many different ways and at variable levels. The units of the Strategic Reserve trained against the other Navies to ensure that if the time came they would be ready to engage either in a regional or global conflict, for the defence of Malaya. The first contribution from the RAN would be either two destroyers or frigates and an aircraft carrier would visit the area on an annual basis along with any additional ships needed if an emergency was to arise. The first ships assigned to help with the Malayan emergency were HMA Ships Warramunga and Arunta. Other ships that served in Malayan waters during the Emergency were HMA Ships Anzac, Melbourne, Quadrant, Queenborough, Quiberon, Quickmatch, Sydney, Tobruk, Vampire, Vendetta and Voyager; some of which took part in shore bombardments against terrorist positions in the Johore

I do not think that Roosevelt 's actions were justified in the internment of Japanese-American citizens, because there was very little evidence that the Japanese citizens were a threat to the rest of America. The Executive Order 9066 led to a lot of changes for Japanese-American citizens. The Executive Order 9066 was signed by President Roosevelt two weeks after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, and this authorized the removal of any or all people from military areas "as deemed necessary or desirable." This affected the Japanese-American citizens because the military then defined the entire West Coast, which was home to the majority of Japanese-Americans, as a military area. This then led them to relocate to internment camps, built by the U.S military in scattered locations around the country.
*Pullman Strike * The Pullman Strike was widespread by the United States railroad workers, approximately a quarter-million worker were on strike at the peak and it impacted the expedition the railroad system across the states.

After seven weeks of marching, The People 's Liberation Army of China opened fire on the protesters. The exact death toll of the massacre is still unknown; estimates range from 200 and 10,000. (Oliver Noble, 2011) In conclusion, “Three Ways of Meeting Oppression” by Luther King is crucial in understanding the ways people use to resist the opponents, whereas failed nonviolent movements such as The White Rose and Tiananmen Square clarify that most of the nonviolent resistance protests end up badly when the opponent is merciless. Michael Stratford draws a line in the sand by stating that: “Although nonviolent resistance to Nazi occupation produces some limited achievements, there is little to indicate that these occupations could have been ended by nonviolent means alone, or mainly by nonviolent means.”
The first concentration camp in the Nazi system, Dachau, opened in March, 1933. By the end of World War II, the Nazis gave a huge system of more than 40,000 camps that stretched across Europe from the French-Spanish border into the conquered Soviet territories, and as far south as Greece and North Africa. The largest number of prisoners were Jews, but people were arrested and locked in prison for a variety of reasons, including family, cultural characteristics and political association. Prisoners were subjected to unbelievable terrors from the moment they arrived in the camps it was a terrible existence that involved a struggle for survival against a system designed to destroy them. A concentration camp is a place where P.O.W (Prisoners of War) were placed usually used for criminals or people with types of religions that the army was against (e.g. Jews etc.)

“Why, by interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rival ship, interest, humor, or caprice? It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world... we may safely trust to temporary alliances for extraordinary emergencies.” This quote from George Washington in his 1796 farewell address describes the opinion of the United States for a majority of its history. Americas public opinion and national policy had the purpose of minimizing the risk of entering another war.
On a warm day in New York City in 1911, tragedy struck. It was an incident that would be written up in newspapers across the country; a horrendous incident that would change legislature, labor laws and hundreds of lives forever. This dreadful event left nearly 150 girls and women dead, and became one of the most murderous fires in the history of New York City. The day was March 26, 1911, and the fire at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory was an historic one.
