4081617762Chinese NationalismDuring the early 1900's, after the First World War, China was looking for order in their country, experiencing constant internal conflict that did not bring them to achieving a stable gov't. At the same time, nationalism developed rapidly. Youth and intellectuals hoped that the Peace Conference of 1919 would restore Chinese sovereignty, and that the U.S. would support the idea. However, Japanese influence only increased and China, and this sparked the May Fourth Movement, which was led by students and intellectuals in Chinese urban areas. The movement was effective in causing the gov't to take action, as every Chinese class protested against foreigners. Media was also used as a way to spread Chinese nationalism, as leaders pledged to rid China of imperialism and bring national unity through speeches, newspapers, and novels. Some Chinese people became interested in the Marxist thought modified by Lenin, and the social experiments taking place in the Soviet Union. In 1921, the Chinese Communist Party was organized in Shanghai. Some of the things these Chinese communists believed in was divorce, opposition of arranged marriages, and campaigns against foot binding. The significance of this nationalism and instability of gov't is that it would make China a weak state, and easy to invade, which could lead to external conflicts with imperialist countries looking to expand their influence.0
4081708435Sun Yatsen1900's: Sun Yatsen lived until 1925, and had been one of the most prominent nationalist leaders in China during the time of their instability. By this time, nationalism had emerged in China and the Chinese Communist Party had been created. Sun Yatsen, however, was not as enthusiastic about promoting dictatorship of the proletariat and the transition into Communism. His ideology is described in 'Three Principles of the People', where he called for the elimination of special privileges of foreigners, national reunification, economic development, and a republican gov't based on universal suffrage. He began the Nationalist People's Party, known as the Guomindang, and was determined to spread its popularity. CCP members the began to fill the Guomindang party. Both parties received aid from the Soviet Union, and helped the parties become effective political organizations. This would create the basis of a new political system.1
4085825268Civil War (China, 1900's)After the death of Sun Yatsen, Gumoindang fell under the administration of Chiang Kai-shek. Otherwise known as Jians Jeishi, he did not hold visions of social revolution for the Chinese people. Jeishi launched a political and military offensive, known as the Northern Expedition, which was to unify the nation and bring China under Guomindang rule. In 1927, Jeishi turned against his communist allies and the ties between the Guomindang and the Chinese communist Party ended. Nationalist forces then occupied Beijing, set up a central gov't in Nanjing, and declared the Guomindang the official gov't of a unified and sovereign Chinese state. Communists then moved to a remote region in southeastern China. While China avoided problems during global devastation, it faced three other problems. It only controlled part of China, communism was still a major threat, and faced increasing Japanese aggression. Jeishi also wanted to eliminate the CCP and the Red Army. Communists left China in October of 1934 to avoid annihilation. Being able to make it through a military blockade in the Jiangxi province in southeastern China, 85,000 troops and Red Army personnel began what was called the Long March, a journey of 10,000 miles. In October of the next year, they ended up in the Shaanxi province and est. headquarters at Ya'an. The Long March inspired people to join the CCP, even though many people died. During the Long March, Mao Zedong emerged as the leader and the main theoretician of the Chinese communist movement. He came up with the a Chinese form of Marxist-Leninism, or Maoism, that believed that peasants rather than the urban proletariat was the foundation for a successful revolution.2
4086027327Mukden IncidentThe Mukden Incident took place on Sept. 18, 1931, on the South Manchurian Railway north of Mukden. Japanese troops used explosives to blow up part of the rail, and accused the Chinese of attacking the railroad. This becomes the cause of war between Japanese and Chinese troops. Even though the Japanese gov't had tried to prevent Japanese troops from invading Manchuria, troops of all of Manchuria by 1932. This ensured Japanese power and protected the economic and industrial development of the region. The Mukden Incident the invasion of Japanese troops and their progression into China, leading challenged the intl. peace system, and began a war, that is, WWII. The League of Nations would be able to do nothing about Japanese actions as orders are ignored by Japan.3
4086082379Rape of NanijingThe Rape of Nanjing took place during the 1900's, during which Japan had begun war after the Mukden Incident and were now invading China. Japanese forces used methods of warfare that led to mass death and suffering on an unimaginable level. Chinese civilians faced bombing of urban centers in efforts to soften their resistance, Japanese soldiers raped seven thousand women, and murdered hundreds of unarmed soldiers and civilians. They also burned one third of the homes in Nanjing, and four hundred thousand lost their lives as Japanese soldiers used them for bayonet practice and machine gunned them into open pits.Even after such atrocities took place against the Chinese and they had been weakened by it, the Japanese still faced resistance. The RON was one of the many horrors of WWII, and China was the first country to experience such horrors.4
4086127452Munich Conference ("Peace for Our Time")The Munich Conference was held in September of 1938. During this conference, European politicians developed a policy that came to be known as appeasement. Attended by the representatives of Italy, France, Great Britain, and Germany, the meeting revealed how most nations outside the revisionist sphere had decided to deal with territorial expansion by aggressive nations. This policy was exercised against Hitler, where the French and British gov't contracted a promise that Hitler would cease all further efforts to expand German territorial claims. The goal was to keep peace in Europe, even if it meant making major concessions. As a result of public opposition to the war, the gov't's of Britain and France approved the Munich accord. British prime minister of that time, Neville Chamberlain, had claimed that the conference had achieved peace for their time. The significance of the Munich Conference is that in order to keep global peace, countries were willing to make compromises, especially with aggressive nations, such as Hitler's Germany.5
4086231354Battle of BritainThe Battle of Britain began during the the 1940's, and Hitler had already acquired much territory in Western Europe, even part of France. By then, Britain stood alone against Germany, and the loss of the Allied powers was becoming prominent. Germans launched the battle, which was led by its air force, called the Luftwaffe. Germans hoped to defeat Britain only by air attacks, which the British named 'the Blitz', because bombs were constantly dropped on populated urban areas, especially London. More than 40,000 British civilians were killed. The Royal Air Force, however, was not defeated, and Hitler was forced to abandon plans of invading Britain.6
4086306802Operation BarbarossaOperation Barbarossa began on June 22nd, of 1941. The name was code for the invasion of the Soviet Union by Hitler's forces. On that day, Hitler ordered his forces to invade the Soviet Union, and the German military assembled the largest and most powerful invasion force in history, attacking with 3.6 million soldiers, 3700 tanks, and 2500 planes. The gov'ts of Hungary, Finland, and Romania declared war on the Soviet Union, and added to the German military force with their own military contingents, totaling about 30 divisions. The invasion took place along a front of 3,000 kilometers, catching Stalin and the Red Army off guard. By December 1941, Germans had taken Leningrad and had reached the gates of Moscow. German blitzkrieg did not work as well as expected, however, compared to its effectiveness in previous conquers. Germans had underestimated Russia military potential and industrial capacity. Within weeks of having invaded Russia, 150 German divisions were up against 360 Red Army divisions. With the immense industry the Soviet Union had created for the manufacture of war material, and the aid they began to receive from the U.S., resources of the Soviet Union outlasted that of the Germans. A major contributor to the defeat of the Germans was also the winter that they had been unprepared for, because they had thought Russia would be easy to defeat. The significance of this battle is that it ended the increasing power of the Germans during WWII, and the U.S. was preoccupied with Japan, and other Allied Powers had already been defeated.7
4086573697Allied Victory in EuropeBy the 1940's, Germans forces faced exhaustion in Russia, and continued to be defeated as Soviets regained territory. The battle for Stalingrad in Feb of 1943 marked the first major victory for the Soviets. German offense failed repeatedly, and the Red Army was able to push the Germans out of Russian territory. By 1944, the Soviets had advanced into Hungary, Poland, and Romania, as well as reaching the suburbs of Berlin in 1945. By that time, the Soviets had inflicted more than 6 million casualties on the Germans. British and U.S. had also attacked Germans from North Africa and then through Italy. In 1944, the Allies had forced Italy to withdraw from the Axis to join them, while the Germans during that time had been preparing for an allied offensive in the west. On June 6th, 1944, British and U.S. forces landed on the French coast of Normandy, where the Germans became overwhelmed. Britain's Royal Air Force had committed itself to area bombing, while U.S. forces attacked industrial targets. British bombing on Dresden in 1945, literally cooked German men, women, and children. Street by street battles in Russia, and sweeps through western Germany by the British and U.S. forced Germany to surrender on May 8 of 1945. A week earlier, Hitler had committed suicide.8
4087213128Japanese Surrender1940's: By July of 1944, Saipan had fallen and Iwo Jina as well as Okinawa had been conquered by the U.S. This made the Japanese homeland vulnerable to U.S. forces. The firebombing of Tokyo in March of 1945 destroyed 25% of the city's buildings, annihilated approximately one hundred thousand people, and made more than a million homeless. The worst of the devastation came on August 6th and 9th of 1945, when U.S. forces used the atomic bomb, a new weapon, against the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The atomic bombs either instantaneously vaporized or slowly killed by radiation more than 200,000 people. The Soviet Union then declared war on Japan on August 8th, 1945, which led to Emperor Hirohito's surrender, as this new threat combined with the devastation already caused, left no other alternative. The Japanese surrendered on August 15th, and the war was officially over on Sept. 2, 1945.9
4087301513ResistanceMid 1900's: Foreign occupation and exploitation caused resistance, such as sabotage, armed assault, and assassinations. Other forms of resistance were gathering intelligence, protecting and hiding refugees, and spreading perspectives through newspapers. Small defiant movements developed such as graffiti, and refusing to be in the same locations as Japanese soldiers. One example of this resistance was an a attempted assassination on Hitler by civilians in 1944, where the bomb killed several bystanders, and did not even cause Hitler any major injury. People constantly acted out against foreign rule and resistance.10
4087304553CollaborationMid 1900's: Even though foreign influence was majorly faced with resistance, there existed some collaboration, since some found an advantage to cooperating with invaders. Bureaucrats and police cooperated because it allowed them to maintain their power w/in the gov't, companies did so to increase their profits, and people turned in others as acts of revenge. Chinese and Japanese merchants began trade with landowners as well. Anti-communism also motivated countries to join Hitler's military formations. The significance of this collaboration is that people sought a way to use invasion and foreign influence to their advantage.11
4087304554Atrocities1900's: Occupations forces were not hesitant to crush the resistance they faced. In 1942, Nazis eliminated the entire village of Lidice, located in Czech, after members of the Czech resistance assassinated the deputy leader of the SS. The surviving children from the village were dispersed throughout Germany. Those who participated in the failed assassination attempt on Hitler in 1944 died from being suspended from meat hooks, which was recorded for Hitler on film. After 800 forced Chinese laborers escaped their camp, the townspeople, the local militia, and the police hunted them down. At least fifty of them were tortured to death, and some were beaten as they were hung by their thumbs. These atrocities, however, only encourage further resistance.12
4087305679The Final Solution1942: By 1942, the Nazis had committed themselves to finding a solution to the Jew 'problem'. At the Wansee Conference on Jan. 20th, 15 leading Nazi bureaucrats gathered to discuss the implementation of the final solution. It was agreed to evacuate all Jews from Europe into camps into eastern Poland. German forces then rounded up Jews and transported them specifically constructed concentration camps in occupied Poland by train. Many of the elderly and sick died on the way, cramped into the cars, not knowing where they were being taken to. In some camps, the final solution was taken to an organized and well planned level, such as working on finding more efficient ways of killing the Jews. This systematic murder of Jews constituted what war crime tribunal believed was a crime against humanity.13
4087306600Women's Roles/Comfort Women1900's: Women played a significant role in the war efforts, whether desired or not, ans also became victims of atrocities. Killings did not discriminate, as Jewish women and girls were killed along with Jewish men and boys. Women joined the military lines, took jobs on factory assembly lines, acted as heads of household, were captured as prisoners of war, and labored in camps, became combatant pilots for Britain, managed balloons (Britain), drove ambulances and transport vehicles, & labored in the fields. Women were able to gain independence and confidence during this time. However, like being force into labor camps, other women were placed in undesired positions. The Japanese army forcibly recruited, conscripted, and dragooned as many as two hundred thousand women age fourteen to twenty to serve in military brothels, called comfort houses or consolation centers. The women were presented as gifts to the soldiers as a gift from the emperor, and the women came from Japanese colonies. The women were with twenty to thirty men per day, facing the same risks as the soldiers as they were stationed in war zones. Any of them who tried to escape or contracted diseases were often killed, and the end of the war many were massacred in attempts to cover up the operation. Comfort women who survived the war had to live in deep shame for the rest of their lives and face shunning from their families.14
4087308087Yalta and Potsdam1945: At this point during the war, the Allied powers were determined to defeat the Axis powers, even though tensions existed between them. Wartime conferences between the Allied Powers were held in Yalta, in February 1945, and Potsdam, August 1945. The Yalta resort had been located on the Black Sea coast of Crimea, and served as the setting for the conference btwn Premier Joseph Stalin, Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Roosevelt had gotten Stalin to declare war against Japan after Germany's surrender, and to collaborate in the est. of the UN. The Allies also agree that major war criminals would be tried before an intl. court, and discussed on how to deal with the liberated countries. The Potsdam conference took lace in a Berlin suburb, where the Allies discussed immediate control of Germany, the occupation of Austria, and the demarcation of the boundaries of Poland. The issue of capitalism vs. communism still existed, and neither opponents wanted to let the other one spread.15
4087309237Postwar Territorial Divisions1900's: Postwar occupation reflected postwar realities and the remaining tensions btwn U.S. and Russia. The Allies had only ever agreed on taking apart the Axis states and their possessions. The Soviets took over the Eastern section of Germany, & the U.S., Britain, & France occupied the western portions. The capital city of Berlin remained under the control of all four. The U.S. had completely occupied Japan, while Korea was split btwn the 2. The significance of these postwar divisions is that because of existing political tensions, peace treaties were never signed and Germany became divided.16
4087309238Marshall PlanThe Marshall Plan was proposed in 1947, and funded in 1948. Otherwise known as the European Recovery Program, proposed to rebuild European economies through cooperation and capitalism, providing more than 13 billion to reconstruct Europe. The significance of this plan is that it forestalled the spread of communism.17
4087310507NATO and the Warsaw PactThe North Atlantic Treaty Organization was est. in 1949 as a regional military alliance against Soviet aggression. The original members included Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Great Britain, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, and the U.S. Its intent was to maintain peace through collective defense. When NATO admitted West Germany and allowed it to rearm, the Soviets formed the Warsaw Pact as a countermeasure, forming an alliance of seven European communist nations. The significance of these treaties is that they signaled the militarization of a cold war.18

2295097267Reciprocal Trade Agreements ActThis act reversed traditional high-protective-tariff policies by allowing the president to negotiate lower tariffs with trade partners, without Senate approval. Its chief architect was Secretary of State Cordell Hull, who believed that tariff barriers choked off foreign trade.2
2295103530Rome-Berlin AxisNazi germany, under Adolf Hitler, and Fascist Italy, led by Benito Mussolini, allied themselves together under this nefarious really. The pact was signed after both countries had intervened on behalf of the fascist leader Francisco Franco during the Spanish Civil War.3
2295108145Johnson Debt Default ActSteeped in ugly memories of World War I, this spiteful act prevented debt-ridden nations from borrowing further from the United States.4
2295110935Neutrality Acts of 1935, 1936, and 1937Short-sighted acts passed in 1935, 1936, and 1937 in order to prevent American participation in a European War. Among other restrictions, they prevented Americans from selling munitions to foreign belligerents.5

2295132084Neutrality Act of 1939This act stipulated that European democracies might buy American munitions, but only if they could pay in cash and transport them in their own ships. The terms were known as "Cash-and-Carry." It represented an effort to avoid war debts and protect American arms-carriers from torpedo attacks.10
2295139477KristallnachtGerman for "night of broken glass," it refers to the murderous program that destroyed Jewish businesses and synagogues and sent thousands to concentration camps on the night of September 9, 1838. Thousands more attempted to find refuge in the United States, but were ultimately turned away due to restrictive immigration laws.11
2295144956War Refugee BoardA United States agency formed to help rescue Jews from German-occupied territories and to provide relief to inmates of Nazi concentration camps. The agency performed noble work, but did not begin operations until very late in the war, after millions had already been murdered.12
2295154323Lend-Lease BillBased on the motto, "Send guns, not sons," this law abandoned former pretenses of neutrality by allowing Americans to sell unlimited supplies of arms to any nation defending itself against the Axis Powers. Patriotically numbered 1776, the bill was praised as a device for keeping the nation out of World War II.13
2295159766Atlantic CharterMeeting on a warship off the coast of Newfoundland in August 1941, Franklin Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill signed this covenant outlining the future path toward disarmament, peace, and a permanent system of general security.

Chapter 42- Vitamin B12 Deficiency Anemia Flashcards

Terms : Hide Images
2304965643Pathophysiology of Vitamin B12 Deficiency AnemiaCauses anemia by inhibiting folic acid transport and reducing DNA synthesis in precursor cells; Precursor cells then undergo improper DNA synthesis and increase in size; Only a few are released from the bone marrow; Called megaloblastic or macrocytic anemia due to the large size of abnormal cells0
2304976280Causes of Vitamin B12 Deficiency AnemiaVegetarian diets or diets lacking dairy products; Anemia resulting from failure to absorb vitamin B12 (pernicious anemia) is caused by a deficiency of intrinsic factor, which is needed for intestinal absorption of vitamin B121
2304983473Symptoms of Vitamin B12 Deficiency AnemiaWeight loss; N/V; Diarrhea; Paresthesias; Poor gait (affects myelin production on nerves); Abnormal balance; Pallor; Jaundice; Glossitis; Fatigue2
2317697999Laboratory Assessment in Vitamin B12 Deficiency AnemiaLow: Hbg, Hct, RBC High: MCV and MCHC3
2317706762Management of Vitamin B12 Deficiency AnemiaFocus is to increase intake of foods rich in vitamin B12 (animal proteins, eggs, and diary products); Vitamin supplements may be prescribed when anemia is severe; Vitamin B12 and folic acid levels are monitored4
2317715331Shilling TestMeasures the presence of vitamin B12 in the urine after the patient is given an oral dose of radioactive B12; If patient does not absorb this due to pernicious anemia, the vitamin cannot get into the urine Patient drinks a radioactive B12 (cobalt 60) and also receives a radioactive IM dose as well; Nurse collects a 24 hour urine on the patient; Measure is taken of the radioactivity; If small amounts of radiation are excreted, a second stage test with radioactive B12 plus a capsule of oral intrinsic factor is done; If the patient has pernicious anemia, more B12 will be found in the second 24 hour urine test5
2317736061Management with a high 1st Shilling's TestNeeds to increase dietary intake of vitamin B12 (animal sources, eggs, dairy products); Oral vitamin supplements6
2317738925Management with a higher 2nd Shilling's TestVitamin B12 injections weekly, and then monthly; May change to nasal spray (CaloMist) replacement later to maintain vitamin levels but this is only used after the traditional injection methods have been tried first7
