Part II: Potential Essay Topics
(75 pts) : All answers should include relevant examples from the readings and lectures.
1) How
does the experiences of 1920s Japan reflect the seemingly two irreconcialable trands: a strengthening of the imperial system, the military and conservative thought on the one hand, and a rise of democratization, labor movements, and Westernization, on the other?
2) China underwent dramatic political, military and intellecual change after the founding of the Republic of China in 1912. Briefly describe these changes and then make a case for which you believe most fundamentally altered Chinese society.
3) Despite advocating starkly different political visions for China's future, the GMD and the CCP attracted significant support during the late 1920s and 1930s China? Why were both parties able to succeed?
4) What factors ultimately caused Japan to invade China. As part of your answer include both the long-term and short-term trends that are most significant.
5) Trace Japan's strategy in their war against China and suggest what you believe were the crucial turning points.
