History

Write an essay in which you compare and contrast French and Russian efforts at land reform, discussing: The context in which land reform became possible, motivations, methods, and outcomes.

(so given you are covering 4 areas here, you will be writing something like a 6 paragraph essay 2 -21/2 pages in length.)

Part 2

Write an additional paragraph or 2 at the end of your essay about similar American attempts in this same period, to make land available to people who formerly could not be landowners.  - Again, what made it possible? What were the motivations, methods and outcome?
