1. summarize-

what political and economic changes occurred in japan during the 1920s?

2. identify cause and effect-

why did the new republic of china fall into chaos after 1912?

3. integrate information-

why did the communists and the guomindang cooperate during the northern expedition in 1926? how did the expedition affect their long term relationship?

4. infer-

judging from the example of japan, why might a nation turn to military leaders and extreme nationalists during a crisis?

5. identify central ideas-

how did the japanese invasion affect civil war in china?

1- During this period of time Japan became an established liberal democracy. They also developed the modern party system where business leaders played a heavy part on politics.

2- General Yuan Shikai attempted to establish a dynasty by declaring himself the emperor of China, however after his death loads of local warlords fought for the power and it ended with economy collapse and famine.

3- Social order was threatened by local warlords therefore the politic party Kuomingtang  and the communists began the northern expedition however due to a conflict of interests between the members the civil war begun.

4- Because of the national security they promise. Also, because they've got the upper hand in regards to military power

5- Because as mentioned in answer #3 The Kuomingtang united forces with the Communists against Japan as they once did with the local warlords in order to protect their country against the external threat

Hope this helps!
