To reflect on Gandhi and Mao
Gandhi and Mao can be regarded as two of the most influential figures in the non-Western world in the 20th century. But for those interested in world history, these two individuals stand in stark contrast to one another. How would you compare and contrast their careers?
You may think about the following questions: What kinds of historical conditions did they hope to address/redress? What were their approaches to making history? How did they mobilize the masses? Which traditions/individuals influence them? How do you explain them as internationally influential leaders?
