Imperialism Nationalism Alliances Progressives Militarism Isolationism Modernism (20’s) Traditional (20’s) 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. Events: Self-determination People: Concepts: EU #4 How has increasing global interconnectedness produced conflict and cooperation? Directions: Define “global interconnectedness” and consider examples from each of our units. Definition Unit 1 Unit 2 Unit 3 Unit 4 Then, complete the Venn Diagram. In one circle, list conflicts that we have studied. In the other circle, list examples of cooperation. In the middle, think of events, concepts or ideas that could be both a conflict and an example of cooperation. PROGRESSIVES define: Goal (what did they want) Result (did it work?)
