Sweden is a nation that from a poor country until the mid 20th century, manged to turn things around and become one of the best countries for living in the world.

After a revolution, the communist managed to defeat the nationalists, so in 1949, China officially became a communist country, led by the Communist Party. The Communist Party didn't really do any good to China until the late 20th century, with lot of economic, social, human rights problems being at the horizon. The Communist Party is actually still in charge of China, but it has changed and adapted to the modern times, making China a global powerhouse.

3. speech - royal

Saudi Arabia is one of the worst countries in the world when it comes to human rights. The king with his royal family are absolute leaders of the country, having all the power in them, and acting as dictators. The freedom of speech does not exist, the media is restricted or controlled by the government, and there is only one allowed religion and every citizen has to convert to it like it or not. Despite all of this, the international community is quiet and doesn't do anything to stop the violation of pretty much every human right, as Saudi Arabia is one of the biggest producers of oil and natural gas in the world.

religion was the center of there society they practiced human sacrifices and which they believed kept there god strong and that he would keep bad guys away hope this
