    • A form of imperialism, where the dominant power exerts significant influence over the internal affairs of a lesser power.

    Patriarchy

    • A social system in which males hold primary power and dominate roles in society, while women and other marginalized groups are subordinate.
    • Characterized by unequal power dynamics, gender-based violence, and the marginalization of women's voices and experiences.

    The Cold War

    • A period of geopolitical tension and rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union from the mid-1940s to the late 1980s.
    • Characterized by proxy wars, espionage, propaganda, and a nuclear arms race, but no direct military conflict between the two superpowers.

    Secessionism

    • A movement or ideology that advocates for a region or group to secede, or withdraw, from a larger state or entity and become independent.
    • Often motivated by cultural, linguistic, or ethnic differences, or a desire for greater autonomy and self-governance.
