(3) New energy: oil
Impact:

The result is different: although the autocratic rule of the czar was overthrown after the February Revolution, the bourgeois provisional government still pursued the policy of participating in World War I abroad and suppressing the people at home, while the October Revolution established the first socialist country in the world.
13. Stalin model
1. Stalin model was formed when the Soviet Union was surrounded by imperialist defense and the domestic economy and culture were relatively backward. It has played a positive role in a certain historical stage.
2. However, this model also has serious shortcomings:
(1) Give priority to the development of heavy industry, and agriculture and light industry have been in a backward state for a long time;
(2) Under the planned economy system, one-sided emphasis on output value and output leads to less varieties and poor quality of products;
(3) The state has taken too many things from farmers, which has seriously damaged their interests, and farmers have no enthusiasm for production, and agricultural production has been stagnant for a long time;
(4) extensive economic development, low economic benefits, a lot of consumption and waste of resources.
In short, in the long run, it has seriously hindered the further development of the Soviet Union.
14. Versailles-Washington system
How to form:
(1)191In order to conclude a peace treaty, the Allied Group "arranged" the post-war world and held the Paris Peace Conference. 19 19 In June, the Allies signed the Treaty of Versailles with Germany. From 19 19 to 1920, the allies also signed a series of peace treaties with Germany's allies Austria, Hungary, Turkey and Bulgaria. Together with the Treaty of Versailles, these peace treaties constitute the Versailles system and establish a new order for imperialism to rule Europe, West Asia and Africa.
(2) Although the Paris Peace Conference temporarily adjusted the relations between western imperialist countries, their contradictions in East Asia and the Pacific are still very sharp, especially between Japan and the United States.

The Washington Conference is a continuation of the Paris Peace Conference, which established a new imperialist ruling order in East Asia and the Pacific. Through these two international conferences, the imperialist powers established the Versailles-Washington system. Evaluation: The Washington Conference is a continuation of the Paris Peace Conference, which established a new imperialist ruling order in East Asia and the Pacific. Through these two international conferences, the imperialist powers established the Versailles-Washington system. However, this system cannot eliminate contradictions between imperialist countries, so it cannot be maintained for a long time.

★ appeasement policy
Meaning: In 1930s, German, Japanese and Italian fascists continued their aggressive activities all over the world, which harmed the interests of western powers to some extent. Western powers are dissatisfied with the aggression of fascist countries, but they are afraid of the war blackmail of fascist countries. They want to lead the disaster to the east and the German aggression to the Soviet Union. Therefore, they did not impose severe sanctions on fascist aggression, but hoped to appease the aggressors at the expense of the interests of weak countries. People call this policy appeasement, and the Munich crisis thinks appeasement is the peak.
Influence: The appeasement policy has a very bad influence, which makes fascist countries push their luck, expand their aggressive ambitions and greatly weaken the anti-fascist forces.

(2) the disintegration of the Soviet Union

Since then, great changes have taken place in the political system of the Soviet Union, mainly from the one-party system to the multi-party system.
