Ideas for essays: I will give you eight essays based on the ideas following. Youwill write two essays on them

be able to compare and contrast the Russian Revolution of the early 20Cwith one of the revolutions we discussed from the revolutionary era ofthe late-18 and early 19C.

be able to discuss the Enlightenment as both a growing body ofknowledge and about popularizing new systems of thinking about thematerial world; discuss the nature of change in the long eighteenthcentury, comparing change as it occurred in Europe with what happenedelsewhere for example in the Americas and East Asia

be able to discuss why Japan and Chinas interactions with westernimperial powers were each so different from the other

be able to discuss industrialization as both creating empires, but also asreliant on imperial connections; relate to neocolonialism

be able to compare and contrast the experience of decolonization in atleast two modern nation-states

be able to discuss two of the multitude of more radical movementswhose leaders wished to push further than the limited reform hoped forby political and social elites in liberal democracies. Discuss the evolutionand arguments of two such movements for example suffragettes, tradeunionists, racists or racial minorities as they relate to broad historicchange at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentiethcenturies.

be able to compare and contrast the Treaty of Vienna with the treatiessigned at the end of WWI, focusing on the Treaty of Versailles

be able to discuss why the US has become such a central power in the20C. A good answer will both define power and deconstruct it in order to

shore up the argument i.e. if you want to say the US is powerfulbecause of its material resources (like space and mineral deposits) thenyou need to take into consideration that those are being depleted, so itis strength now but a depleting strength (or not?)

if we looked for unifying themes across the span of history covered inthis class, one could be that world can consistently be defined as dividedbetween Islam and the west; however, that is a problematic statementfor a number of reasons. Beginning in the 14C western Europe and laterthe Americas became associated with Christianity, while in fact Christiancommunities existed across the globe. Further, as western societiesmatured they became secular, with the result that non-western

communities, both Christian and Muslim, came to be understood asbeing unreasonable and other. Discuss the historic, religious andcultural divide between the west and Islam, and in so-doing argue as tothe positives and negatives of each, making reference to at least threehistoric moments/events in order to argue your point.

your text consistently challenged the hegemony of the west in terms ofhistorical narrative and analysis, but also more broadly. Was ithegemonic or not? Choose any aspect of human development, using

evidence from the time period covered in this course that either supportsmy challenge, or convinces me that indeed western ideas anddevelopments have primarily shaped the world in which we live.
