Zedong in China believed that the
revolution could come from a rural-peasant
population. As Mao’s military successes

increase, and the Great Depression caused
more hardships. Traditionalists blamed
Western influence and promoted Japanese
values. They opposed Japan’s attempts to
cooperate with Western powers and called for
Japan to rely on its own strength to meet its
needs and to dominate Asia.

Using an Electronic
Spreadsheet
Why Learn This Skill?
Electronic spreadsheets can help people manage data
quickly and easily. For example, if you want to know your
grade average throughout the year, you could create a
spreadsheet in which you enter your latest test and
homework scores.
This feature can be found on page 798 of your textbook.
Using an Electronic
Spreadsheet
Learning the Skill
A spreadsheet is an electronic worksheet. All spreadsheets
follow a basic design of columns and rows. 
• Each column (vertical) is assigned a letter or number. 
• Each row (horizontal) is assigned a number. 
• A cell is where a column and row intersect. 
• A cell’s position on the spreadsheet is labeled according to
its corresponding column and row–Column A, Row 1 (A1);
Column B, Row 2 (B2); and so on (see the diagram on the
following slide).

Spreadsheets use standard formulas to calculate the
numbers. You create a simple mathematical equation that
uses these standard formulas and the computer does the
calculations for you. 
You can make changes in the spreadsheet by using the
mouse or cursor to move to the appropriate cell. If you change
any number in the cell, the computer will automatically
recompute the totals. The computer will even copy a formula
from one cell to another.
