Class forum anyone? Well, remember, it's just
one test this week on Tues/Wed; and it's a 
"hybrid" test, multiple choice and margin questions.

As Strayer states in the yellow book on page 660, "This chapter primarily focuses on a comparison of these two large-scale experiments [China and Russia] and their global impact." So, I figured, what better MQ than MQ2, "Identify the major differences between the Russian and Chinese revolutions."
Here's my answer:
− the Chinese revolution was a decades-long struggle, where as Russian revolution occurred in a year
− Unlike Russia, where intellectuals had been discussing socialism for an extremely long time (half a century), the idea of socialism was brand new to China
− The CCP in China faced a much more threatening foe and, thus, had a more surprising victory than the weak Provisional Government that was overthrown in Russia
− The Bolsheviks (Russia) found their primary audience among workers in Russia’s major cities, Chinese communists looked to peasants for support
− Chinese peasants did not rise up spontaneously against their landlords, as Russian peasants had
− China’s powerful CCP put down deep roots among the peasant class that Russia was never able to achieve
− Bolsheviks gained support by urging the Russian withdrawal from WWI, whereas the CCP won support by aggressively pursuing the struggle against Japanese invaders during World War II
