Скачать или смотреть Pershing Lecture Series - WWI and the Birth of Communist China

The creation of the People’s Republic of China can be traced back to WWI. Join Dr. Geoff Babb, military historian at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, in this riveting Pershing Lecture Series conversation to discover how events directly related to the war played a role in the birth of Communism in China such as the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the pro-imperial bias of the Treaty of Versailles. Examine how the 1919 May 4th Movement and the First Communist Party Congress in 1921 laid the groundwork for the establishment of the People’s Republic of China in 1949.

Featuring distinguished U.S. Army Command and General Staff College Department of Military History lecturers and authors, the Museum and Memorial is proud to host the Pershing Lecture Series, which fosters understanding of World War I and its impact on the law, international policy and culture of today.
