Background on Mao for Paper 1

Mao's Background to 1976

Watch Mao Documentary If You Didn't See It In Class Friday

If you weren't in class Friday please take the time to watch this documentary on Mao's rule from 1949 to the 1970s. This will set the stage for the re-emergence of China after 1976.

No other homework. I won't be here Monday but by then I will assign in-class work in order for you to finish the China questions for the Paper 1.

Enjoy your Weekend!
