What events in WWII would now cause a heated debate? I know a topic would be the dropping of the bomb on Japan, and the moving of the Japanese people to camps because of the racism that pearl harbor triggered but is there anymore topics? Around 1943 or so would be good, but any topic is deeply appreciated

Lenin believed that a socialist revolution could succeed in Russia if

a revolutions were carried out at the same time in other parts of Europe.
b Russia became an industrial state.
c the peasants owned the land they worked.
d a small group of dedicated revolutionaries controlled the government.

here is an excerpt from my book, I just can't figure it out.

In western Europe, many leading socialists had come to think that socialism could be achieved through gradual and moderate reforms such as higher wages, increased suffrage ,and social welfare programs. Te Bolsheviks rejected this approach. To Lenin, reforms of this nature were merely capitalist tricks to repress the masses. Only revolution, he said, could bring about needed changes.

So far as I know it was the British in their war to suppress Afrikaner independence near the end of Queen Victoria's reign.

Then the Third Reich revived and applied the idea in the 'thirties. Then after WW2 the British recovering Malaya from the defeated Japanese sought to restore colonial rule and I think they built concentration camps to pursue this. Did they perhaps give them some euphemistic name?

Then Mao Tse Tung developed "re-education camps" in China. Then the US in its attempt to prevent Vietnamese independence built "strategic hamlets." Today we see people held without trial or even access to lawyers at Guantanamo Bay. Are all these examples analogs of the concentration camps where the British kept the Boers in isolation? Or is there some significant difference?

Was the practice known prior to the Boer War? Winston Churchill was a war correspondent at the time - did he comment on it?
