The essay topics
The essay question will not be about any one unit, geographic location or specific topic. Rather,
the essay will ask you to consider the “big picture” in the first half of the 20th century.
At the start of the semester, we identified four main ideas (enduring understandings) that will be
studied throughout this course. All four essay questions are related to these “big ideas”. One of
these four questions will be on your test, however, preparation for the other three will assist you
with other portions of the final exam (will be short answers)
Enduring Understandings
EU#1: The United States gradually has become a global superpower.
EU#2: Technological changes, demographic changes, and the changing role of
government have shaped American society.
EU#3: The principle of self-determination has shaped world history.
EU#4: Increasing global interconnectedness has produced conflict and cooperation.
EU #1 How has he U.S. become a global superpower from the 1880’s to 1945?
Directions: For each of the “steps” towards becoming a world power, think of a specific event / concept
that allowed the U.S. to gradually grow as a world power. For each number, write a description and
explain how it made the U.S. powerful.
U.S becomes powerful
3) ___________________
2) ________________
1)_____________
U.S. is less powerful
EU #2 How has U.S. society changed from 1900 to 1945?
Directions: Define US society in the middle circle / web. Then, branching out from the definition o
society, think of the three ways provided in the enduring understanding – technology, demographics and
government. For each, find 4-5 examples or specific pieces of information.
EU #3 How has the principle of self-determination shaped history?
Directions: Define self-determination and consider historical connections to people, events and concepts.

Then, complete the Venn Diagram. In one circle, list conflicts that we have studied. In the other circle, list
