    Gandhi leads an Indian campaign of civil disobedience
    Gandhi was a good character in this story :). He believed in independence for India, but he also believed in non-violence, so he led the civil disobedience movement where Indians just didn't follow unfair British law, yet they didn't riot in order to disobey British law. They did everything through non-violence.

    Mustafa Kemal transforms Turkey into Republic
    This tittle doesn't really make sense.....but anyways. After WW1, Turkey was really the only place left of the Ottoman empire. So, Mustafa (whose name sounds like Mufasa (Simba's dad :D and Serabi's HUSBAND :p) Kemal overthrew the ottoman sultans, and ruled Turkey. He's called "ataturk" which means "father of the turks" because he was a great leader. He transformed turkey into a republic!

    Mao Zedong believed that revolutionaries should be peasants. He also led the long march so that he and his communists could run away from Jiang Jieshi and Jiang's nationalist army. They went 6,000 miles and they had about 700,000 people. By the end of the journey, only about 7,000 - 8,000 people survived :(. Tragic :(.
