Unit 7: Imperialism
This activity will help connect our study of Japanese Industrialization and Nationalism from last unit to our study of the decline of Imperial China at the hands of European powers.
Both of these stories will CONVERGE in our UNIT 9: Between The Wars study...and then lead into our study of UNIT 10:World War II next quarter.
This activity will help connect what we have studied so far with our current study and then look forward to our future study.
