History 3C
De Anza College
Paper #3: Communism
What elements gave rise to the phenomenon of Communism? How did Communism have a global impact beyond the countries dominated by a Communist Party? What was the everyday experience of life under a Communist regime? Why did Communist collapse toward the end of the 20th century? Use the textbook, and the documents at the end of Chapter 21 to examine the origins, experiences, and collapse of Communism.
You must cite your sources, and list them at the end of your paper as a List of References. Please do not “borrow” material from the web without providing proper citations and enclosing direct quotations in quotation marks. Otherwise, it will be considered plagiarism, and the penalties will be severe.
Typed, double-spaced, 12-point type, 600-800 words. Use MLA formatting.
For help with MLA formatting, consult the Purdue Owl (on-line writing lab).
Please e-mail as an attachment to the instructor at crjackson81@gmail.com before midnight on the date due. Note: before sending the assignment, you must rename the file in the following format: LastnameFirstname-papernumber. Example: JacksonChristopher-paper1. If the file is not properly named, it will not be accepted. If the file cannot be opened with MS-Word, it will not be accepted. Please put the course number and the file name in the subject line of the e-mail. For example: Subject: History 3C JacksonChristopher-paper1. (That allows me to better keep track of the several hundred papers that I receive during the quarter.)
