CH 27 section 1:
1. East Asia's ideas and traditions orginated in the Wei River Valley in China.
2. People of China speak the Mandarin dialect of Han chinese.
Creative Writing: Before the Great Leap Forward chinese people were just about getting by on the resources they had. Once the leap to government farms had been implemented many small farms lost their land and many people died of starvation because the large scale farms failed to produce. However eventually from outside pressure reforms on religion and education were loosened to a more democratic point of view.
CH 27 section 2:
1. The population is distributed unevenly, with most density in Tokyo and the least in Hokkaido.
2. Japan built an empire in the 1900's through diplomacy and military force, it collapsed during WWII after war with the US.
Creative Writing: Japan has a very diverse culture... It has been influenced by many other nations. Its language was influenced by Koreans and Mongolians. Its writing system was influenced by the Chinese.
CH 27 section 3:
1. Korea first reacted by shutting them out and having no contact.
2. The Korean way of life is based on Confucianism.
Creative Writing: North and South Korea are ethnically homogoneous, but nonetheless the two countries are divided. This was caused by the split of US-backed and Communist backed South and North Korea. This split caused the Korean War and still seperates the countries today. As North Korea starves its citizens and blocks out trade, South Korea thrives witha bustling economy and no food shortages
