Impossible. That's a shitton of info.

I had a history professor who wanted 2000 word essays, no more than two pages, with discreet margins. 1.5 spacing.

Was this professor insane, or loved mouse print?

I'd say I would need that for just four countries.

I asked if I could do two or three. lol nope. I rewrote this essay seven times to get it within the word limit.

This is basically my essay "These countries had this in their constitutions, then the remainder had this" "Oh they all tied ideology with economic performance" "Don't forget nationalism except for the GDR!" "Oh and how can we forget about the cults of Ceausescu, Hoxha and Tito?!" That alone was 1200 words. 800 words to go "In these countries, when the economy went to shit, so did legitimacy!".


Yeah. Too much info to condense.
