  Introduction China's remarkable economic growth over the past few decades has led to its emergence as a major player in the global arena. With a GDP of over $15 trillion, China is the world's second-largest economy and is rapidly closing the gap with the United States. As a result, there is growing debate about whether China is on track to become a global superpower, and what this would mean for the international order. In this blog, we will examine the rise of China and its implications for the international order. Historical Background China has a long and storied history, and for much of that history, it was one of the world's most advanced civilizations. However, in the 19th and early 20th centuries, China suffered a series of humiliating defeats at the hands of foreign powers, which left it weak and vulnerable. It wasn't until the Communist Party took power in 1949 that China began to emerge as a global player. Under the leadership of Mao Zedong, China pursued a ...

  Armenia vs Azerbaijan: A History of Conflict and a Future of Peace? Armenia and Azerbaijan are two former Soviet republics in the South Caucasus region, which have been locked in a decades-long dispute over Nagorno-Karabakh, a mountainous territory that is internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan but was populated and controlled by ethnic Armenians until 2020. The conflict dates back to the late 1980s, when Nagorno-Karabakh declared its independence from Azerbaijan with Armenia's support, amid the collapse of the Soviet Union. A full-scale war broke out in 1992, resulting in about 30,000 casualties and hundreds of thousands of refugees on both sides. A ceasefire was signed in 1994, but it left Armenia in charge of Nagorno-Karabakh and seven surrounding districts, which together made up about 20% of Azerbaijan's territory. The ceasefire was frequently violated by sporadic clashes and skirmishes, as both sides accused each other of violating the terms of the agreement a...

Russia - Ukraine Conflict  The conflict between Russia and Ukraine is a state of war that started in 2014 and escalated in 2022. Here are some key points to understand the situation: - The conflict has its roots in the end of the Cold War and the expansion of NATO. Russia sees Ukraine as historically part of its sphere of influence and opposes its integration with the West. - In 2014, Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine and supported a separatist rebellion in the eastern regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, known as Donbas. More than 14,000 people have died in the war since then. - In 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine across a broad front, using air strikes, missile attacks, tanks and troops. It claimed to be defending the Russian-speaking population in Donbas and to be demilitarizing and de-Nazifying Ukraine. - Ukraine has resisted the Russian aggression with the support of its allies, especially the US and the EU. It has declared martial law and mobilized its armed forces. - The invasion ha...

  Why are the USA and Russia enemies of each other? A brief history and recent condition of their relations The USA and Russia are two of the most powerful and influential countries in the world, but their relationship has been marked by rivalry, mistrust and confrontation for decades. How did they become enemies, and what are the main sources of tension between them today? The origins of their animosity can be traced back to the Cold War era, when the USA and its allies faced off against the Soviet Union and its communist bloc in a global struggle for ideological, political and military supremacy. The Cold War lasted from 1947 to 1991, and was characterized by proxy wars, nuclear arms race, espionage, propaganda and ideological competition. The two superpowers never directly fought each other, but they came close to a nuclear war several times, such as during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. The end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 created an opportuni...

 North Korea vs South Korea: A Brief History and How to Resolve the Conflict  The Korean Peninsula was once a single, unified country with a long and rich history. However, since the end of World War II, it has been divided into two rival states: North Korea and South Korea. The division was not the result of the Korean people's choice, but rather a consequence of the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States. How did the division start? After Japan's defeat in World War II, Korea was liberated from its colonial rule of 35 years. The Soviet Union occupied the northern part of the peninsula, while the United States occupied the southern part. The two powers agreed to establish a temporary trusteeship over Korea until a unified government could be formed. However, they soon disagreed on how to achieve this goal. The Soviet Union supported a communist regime led by Kim Il Sung, a former guerrilla fighter who had fought against the Japanese. The United States support...
