Capitalist or Communist, and most felt war was inevitable.

During this time many countries decided to not side (align) with either side.
Ping Pong Diplomacy
As China emerged as a large power, and communist, tension got larger in the US.
Few Americans had been to China and had little understanding of the culture.
The US and China Ping Pong teams played exhibitions matches.
This allowed relations to ease and finally the President (Nixon) was able to visit China.
Liberation Movements
Some countries attempted to move away from Communist Control. – Hungarian Revolution (1956)– Prague Spring (1968)– Lech Walesa, Poland (1980)– The Berlin Wall (1989)

Peace. We’ve seen the development of
Liberalism in Europe. But, how do they interact.

Policy of Assimilation
Many ideologies of the Europeans clashed with the ideas of Native Americans.
Their desire to fight European Ideology stated the British idea of Assimilation.
Indian Act After Confederation the
Indian act was passed in 1876.
It made “Indians, and their lands” the responsibility of the Canadian Government.
An “Indian Agent” was to be set up by the government to oversee all Indians and their lands.
Females Identity and the Indian Act Until 1985 females that married non
natives lost all status. The role of a woman was measured in
the wealth of her First nations husband. Although the law has changed,
inequality still exists.

Creation of Band Schools.
Apology
In 1998 the government issued a statement of reconciliation.
It apologized for the abuse given towards to aboriginals.
Including Residential Schools.
That’s it!
