upon your careful reading of chapter 21, in what ways did the struggles
for independence of African and Asian peoples in the twentieth century
parallel that of the “new nations” in the Americas of the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries? In what ways did they differ? Your response
should discuss at least two different African and/or Asian independence
struggles. As always, be sure to use specific evidence from the
readings to support your argument. -

Due April 12 at 11:59 PMBased
upon your careful reading of chapter 21 as a whole, and then the
primary sources excerpted in the “Working with Evidence” section at the
end of chapter 21, to what extent do the “Working with Evidence” primary
sources display the successes of Maoist communism? To what extent do
they offer insight on its shortcomings? (You may find the “Historians’
Voices” section at the very end of the chapter useful.)
