Communism had a huge impact on the world. It arose with a bang and put the whole world under a spotlight. It forced countries all over the world to choose either to take part of it or to be against it. Many countries quickly jumped at the chance at a better life and many other countries despised the idea of communism from the start. These countries, which were headed by the United States of America, were totally against it, and fought against it for a long time. They seen the communist movements as a threat to their ways of life, and felt that they had to destroy it before it destroys them. Most of their fighting was not direct war (although some of it was through other countries) between the U.S.A and Russia but in an indirect war for political ideas called the Cold War. And when looked up in the encyclopedia it states that:

Communism went against most of the beliefs of capitalism. It hated the fact that some people would be very rich and more then ten times the amount of people that are rich would be very poor people that are on the brink of starvation. Communism believes that capitalism leads to monopolies, which later on have huge affects and influence on the governments. As it was stated about Marx’s view “He saw history in the light of material conditions which produce a progression of economic classes. Always the ruling class is the one which owns the means of production”(Ebenstein William 9).

The rise of communism is due to the terrible living conditions that the Russian poor faced. The poor were being mistreated by the “bourgeoisie”, while the czar at the time only cared for the nobles. This and the fact that in 1855 the Russians first lost the Crimean war (because of the lack of proper training of the huge Russian army), made Russia ripe for a change in its political ideas. The loss caused great economic depression that lasted for more then a half of a century (Bales James 138). During this depression many ideologies about how to govern developed. The greatest, was the idea of Communism, which was brought forth by Karl Marx’s and Fredrich Engels’ writing Scientific Socialism.
