Bin Laden’s Death• Founder and leader of al Qaeda who orchestrated the
September 11th attacks; killing about 3,000 people. • Monday morning Bin Laden was found by American troops in
Pakistan.• 30 miles north of Pakistani capital, Islamabad.• His killing was the culmination of years of intelligence work and
following leads• The key break involved one of the few couriers trusted by bin
Laden. About two years ago, intelligence work identified where the courier and his brother lived and operated in Pakistan
• CIA determined in January that bin Laden was at this same location.
• Operation organized by the U.S. government was meant to kill him; did not want him alive.
• President Obama authorized the operation on Friday April 29th. • Bin Laden’s body was later buried at sea, per Muslim tradition. • http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/asiapcf/05/02/

Cold War Conflicts• What is a Cold War?• As you know, the Soviet Union and United States
never met in armed conflict during the Cold War.• Instead, they used other countries to fight the
communism vs. democracy battle.• China, Cuba, Vietnam & Korea • These four countries were central to Cold War
conflicts.• Soviet Union wanted to establish communism, and
America wanted to stop it from spreading.• This caused both superpowers to send aide/troops to
the unstable countries.

Start of Revolution
The Chinese Red Army
The enemy advances, we retreat.
The enemy camps, we harass.
The enemy tires, we attack.
The enemy retreats, we pursue.
Put back all doors when you leave a house.
Rice-stalk mattresses must all be bundled up again and returned.
Be polite. Help people when you can.
Give back everything you borrow, even if its only a needle.
Pay for all things broken, even if only a chopstick.
Don’t help yourself or search for things when people are not in their homes.
Six Principles of the Red ArmyMao Zedong’s Tactics
The Long March• In 1933 the Kuomintang
launched an attack & blockade on the communists that were in Jiangxi.
• Within a year, the Red Army had lost 50% of their territory and 60,000 soldiers.
• In 1934, Zedong started The Long March which was a retreat to another communist city, Ya’nan.
• The March allowed the Red Army to retreat and wear down Kuomintang troops.
• Only 10% survived the year long March, but communism prevailed!
Cold War Support
• America supported the Kuomintang because they were more accepting of democracy.
• Soviets supported Zedong and his quest to establish communism.
• After China falls to communism, they aide other countries in establishing communist governments (North Korea, North Vietnam)
Outcome
• The Kuomintang was weak with corruption and unpopularity.
• Chiang Kai-Sheik fled to Taiwan.
• Mao Zedong won the Chinese Revolution.
• Established the Republic of China under his control.
• China is officially communist.
