Short answer questions

2) Guangxu’s failed reform set in motion — Sparked constitutionalist and modernization movements and increased revolutionary pressure that contributed to Qing’s eventual collapse.
3) Schools of thought after Taiping — Conservatives/self‑strengtheners (western tech, keep Confucian order); reformers/constitutionalists (modernize institutions); radicals/revolutionaries (overthrow Qing).
4) Events ending Japan’s isolation — Commodore Perry’s 1853–54 arrival and unequal treaties plus recognition that Western power required rapid modernization.
5) Results of Japanese imperialism — Victories over China and Russia, acquisition of colonies (Taiwan, Korea), rise as a great power and regional rival to Europeans.
6) Causes of tension in Texas — Cultural and legal clashes (language, Catholicism), slavery disputes, land‑title conflicts, settlers’ refusal to follow Mexican laws/authority.
7) Santa Anna as typical caudillo — Military strongman who seized power repeatedly, ruled by personal patronage and force rather than institutions.
8) Villa and Zapata’s roles — Villa: northern guerrilla leader fighting for land/rights and military campaigns; Zapata: southern peasant leader demanding agrarian reform (Plan de Ayala).
