Dr. Zhivago depicted a society in the middle of war, with itself and other countries. It depicted this by the people trying to defeat the Russians and they ended up getting killed. They also showed the soldiers abandoning the war so that they would not have to be there anymore for they wpuldnt get killed or anythingg. The Russian people wanted to change because the government was treating the people like they were crapp. This is why people wanted to make change, tom prevent them from having to deal with a ruler who does not care about them. They depicted communism as a political system that was unorganized. They showed this by having 13 different families living in one house, even though it originally belonged to Doctor Zhivago. He was shocked when he saw it being run like this. He was also confused on how it worked.

cause of wwi

the world war one was pretty dangereous. alot of people got hurt and killed during this event.Militarism is a nations policy to maintain strong armed forces. The reason why is because they were competing for land. As they were, there military was increasing. Great Britain and Germany were competing for the largest navies. France, Russia, and Germany were competing for the largest military. This also put pressure on other countries to increase the number of soldiers and arms that they have. Another cause of World War one is nationalism. Nationalism is when you feel that you feel extremely loyal to a nation and concern for its welfare. Some countries wanted independence from bigger countries, meanwhile, the bigger countries thought that they were greater then anybody else.
