Chapter 31 China
Objective: Upon completion of this chapter students will be able to:
* describe the results of China's contracts with the West
* identify the internal conflict that led to a Communist takeover
* describe the purpose and results of the Great Leap Forward
* explain how a series of modernizations attempted to change China
Rationale: Most students today only know recent China. The Olympics were the only visual students have been shown of where China is as a country. which leaves out where China have come from. Exposing students to the history of China (recently) moving from a disjointed agricultural based country to a Communist revolution will fill-in some of the missing pieces to China's current political structure. Tiananmen Square will be a pivotal part of this process.
Evidence: By understanding the various political changes and the various factors influencing those changes, students will be able to articulate an accurate timeline of events which shaped the course of China's recent past, and has brought it to a modern day one party run country.
