Essay Questions:
What was the Cold War (1945-1991) and why was it given that title?
Why was the United States seen as the “winner” in the Cold War? How was this accomplished without nuclear war?
What are the major lessons learnt from the Cold War? How are those lessons impacting foreign policy decisions today? Provide an example using current events.

Your literature review should be 6-8 pages (not including your title and references page) and should synthesize the body of literature that is important to
your case study.
All research projects include a literature review to set out for the reader what knowledge exists on the subject under study and helps the researcher develop
the research strategy to use in the study. A good literature review is a thoughtful synthesis of important information that pertains to the current study.
Literature reviews include a summary and critical assessment of the arguments that exist (including whether or not you agree with them) and are arranged thematically. At the end of your literature review, you should discuss some of the clear gaps in knowledge and explain how your research will help fill this void and further our knowledge of the subject under investigation.
Format: Your literature review should include a title page, body, and reference page. Your paper should have 1-inch borders on all four sides, use times new
roman-12 point font, be double spaced, and not have an extra space in between paragraphs. (You may need to turn this off in MS word by going to paragraph and

Compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of the British and the Colonists as the American Revolution began. Name several for each side, determine, and explain what each side had to do in order to win.
The British seemed unbeatable. During the previous 100 years, the British had enjoyed triumph after triumph over nations as powerful as France and Spain. At first glance, the odds were clearly against the Americans.
Britain’s military was the best in the world. Their soldiers were well equipped, well disciplined, well paid, and well fed. The British navy dominated the seas. Funds were much more easily raised by the Empire than by the Continental Congress.

This assignment requires you to analyze six documents about the Sagebrush Rebellion. You will begin by carefully reading several documents in Foner (#161, #175, #179, #180) along with “Conley 1981 rape of the west article”, and “Zuckerman 1981 the interior department goes to war” and then complete “PSAP Table 6 – Sagebrush Rebellion”.
How to analyze these documents:
Unlike past assignments, this week you must analyze several different types of documents ranging from newspaper editorials to the President’s Inaugural
Address. Each of these documents clearly (and sometimes passionately) reflects a single point of view. In other words, these are all biased documents.
You have probably already learned to identify bias. Many of you have been taught to treat biased documents with great suspicion, and to avoid using them. But most historical materials reflect somebody’s point of view. If historians dismissed biased sources, we would have no sources at all. So historians have to use biased materials to construct an objective account of the past. In the case of a policy debate like the Sagebrush Rebellion, we read documents that reflected both sides of this debate over federal power and regulation, and use them to discern what land use policy was, who wanted what and why.
To do this, first identify which side of the Sagebrush Rebellion each author is on; this will tell you what his/her bias is. Then, list the claims the author makes, and divide these into those which are clearly affected by the author’s bias, which you think are reliable, and which you need to confirm with other sources.
If authors on both sides of a debate agree on a set of facts, you can treat those as pretty reliable. Be aware, as you read these sources, that it is human
nature to regard materials that one agrees with as more “unbiased” (believable, neutral, authoritative and internally consistent) than documents that one
disagrees with. So, try to look past your own bias to evaluate all these materials dispassionately.
So, what can these documents tell us?
Usually, at this point, I review the kinds of information a particular type of document can and cannot provide to the historian. This semester, these have ranged from formal policy justifications that lay out a political philosophy or place a single policy decision into a larger global context, to editorial
cartoons that crystallize complex political debate. Some of the documents you have analyzed this semester provide no information at all about public opinion.
Others offer some insight into this.
So, where does this leave you this week?
1) The readings this week are all relevant to – if not directly about – the Sagebrush rebellion. Thus, they all
offer a clear statement of one person’s opinion or perspective on a political dispute or policy – in this case environmental regulation and management of
federal lands.
2) Taken together, these materials should help you piece together all sides of this policy debate.
3) In this case, the debate over environmental regulation was part of a larger national dialogue about the role of government. So you should be able to outline this debate, too.
4) Remember, as you read these documents, that
most of these pieces were intended to persuade. So, they contain language carefully selected to appeal to their readers. And they clearly reflect the biases
and priorities of a single “side” of the argument. So, these materials also reveal something about the values and priorities of their intended.

Economic History of Modern Europe Term Paper Assignment
The term paper assignment is aimed at providing students with an opportunity to think deeply and thoughtfully about the impact of economic change on the people who experienced it in history, and to consider the cause and effect relationships relevant to these episodes of change.
Part I: Write a 500-750 word reflection on the circumstances faced by a person, family or community that is experiencing fundamental economic change during
one of the periods we discuss in this course. You will want to provide a brief summary of what their life was like before the change, what kinds of changes
are occurring or have occurred and how those changes are impacting their well-being. Some examples include:
a child labourer;
the parent of a child-labourer;
(ANY OF THESE TWO, WHICHEVER IS EASIER FOR YOU)
Part II: Write a 2500 to 3000 word (maximum) argumentative essay that explains the circumstances faced by the person or group you write about in Part I. Your analysis should include a discussion of the broader background and contemporary context of the particular circumstances, as well as a theoretical framework
that facilitates understanding of the economic, social and political forces at play.

Week 9 Assignment: Gregory of Tours and Einhard
Background: Gregory of Tours was a bishop of Tours in north France in the later sixth
century. One of his principal works, The History of the Franks, describes how the Franks came to govern much of France (Roman
Gaul) amid and after the decline of the western Roman empire. Book 2 of the work describes the deeds of Clovis, the first
Christian king of the Franks who governed in the later fifth and early sixth centuries.
Einhard was an associate of Charlemagne (Charles I) who was active in the late eighth and early ninth century. His most famous
composition is his biography of Charlemagne, the Carolingian Frankish king whose empire spanned much of western Europe and who was crowned emperor and Augustus by the contemporary pope at Rome in 800. Charlemagne was also famous for patronizing scholars
involved in both classical Latin and Christian learning.
Question: Many scholars maintain that the western half of the Roman empire collapsed in the fifth century as various Germanic kings carved out their successor realms. Other scholars, however, cite the works of
Gregory and Einhard as evidence that Germanic kings were discharging Roman governance much later. Based on the readings and previous topics covered in this course, which view do you support?
