Read Materials and the answer following problems.

1. Taking into account the evolution of the global context over the 1947-1950 period, what do the views and language of Truman (1947) suggest would have been the US goal in China during the Civil War (1947-49) and how does Acheson’s (Truman’s Sec. of State) perspective in 1950 diverge from or modify what Truman had believed to be the case?

At least TWO PARAGRAPHS.

Answers should be at least two paragraphs in length and reflect a thorough reading of our texts and an understanding of the complexities that shaped historical actors and events. If you quote or use any information directly from our readings, you must cite the author and page number like this (Kinzer, p.23) right in the text after the material you’re borrowing. There is no need to use books or internet material other than our text readings for that week.

2. Comment on, question, or critique the attachment “Peer Editing“ in at least 4 sentences.

Critique, question, and add to what they’ve written, but do so politely and respectfully. Credit for this part will be determined by how effectively you respond in this way. A mere “that’s good”, “I agree”, “I thought the same thing”…will not receive credit. Neither will repeating parts of your own answer or critical responses that are disrespectful or don’t provide a thoughtful rationale.
