Answer 1

Answer:

a) Identify ONE way that internal tension led China to become communist.

China had a civil war between the nationalists and the communists, and the communists were victorious, so we can say that China became communist directly as a result of the previous internal tension. This is a historical fact.

b) Identify ONE way that Japanese aggression contributed to China’s conversion to communism.

Japanese aggression and colonial adventure in China was extremely cruel to the Chinese people, and China felt humilliated during this time. This created the enviroment for the seeking of radical change and solutions, and this is precisely what communism offered at the time.

c) Explain ONE way that the Great Leap Forward affected Chinese citizens

The Great Leap Forward was a massive disaster. The worst outcome of this policy was the famine that killed tens of millions of Chinese. The famine occured due to misguided agricultural policies that led to insufficient harvests.
