In order to make it meaningful, scholars often look at only a piece of history, as if looking through a telescope at a particular set of stars instead of the whole universe.

You will evaluate how successful the two great leaders of Communist China, Mao and Deng, were at giving the Chinese peasants what they wanted. We will be investigating the major events that occurred under the rule of these men and filling out a set of charts about their successes and failures. You may use these charts on the test. The more specific information you have, the better you will do on this test. Look for details, statistics, and other specific information.
