Answer the questions using information from the following pages in the textbook: 791-796; 800-804; 808-814


World History II(H) – A / G Blocks

Read 30.3 and the packet – explain how the readings in the packet (either in total or separately) reflected the growing problems in China internally and how Japan could/would work to exploit those problems. You don't have to show how each document shows both internal weakness and Japanese exploitation, but that should be what you are looking for in the documents. Read the textbook to give context to the documents (pay attention to the dates). (Due Tuesday)
