MYP G10 I&S Manchuria & Abyssinia: Home

It's okay to use Wikipedia to get your key words and dates! Just don't let your search stop here.

Make a list of all the different words you can use in your search, and add a date (or date range) to get even more targeted results:

Which search words are best from these three below:

• Manchuria
• Japanese Invasion of Manchuria
• Japanese Invasion of Manchuria 1931
• Mukden Incident 1931 (this is another name for the Manchurian Incident)
• Mukden Incident September 18 1931

Or consider these search terms:

• Abyssinia
• Abyssinian Crisis
• Abyssinian Crisis 1935
• Italian Invasion of Abyssinia 1935-36
• Second Italo-Ethiopian War 1935
• Abyssinian Crisis October 3 1935 - May 5 1936

It always pays to vary your search words and to keep a running list of synonyms you can use as well as what you have tried.

In Wikipedia, take note of the "see also" section as well as related links and suggested sites to visit:
