Write a coherent essay in response to one of the following questions. Support your statements with reference to pertinent historical examples, and make use of Hew Strachans The First World War if and when suitable.
Since at least some major powers wanted to avoid war in the years before 1914, how can you account for the fact that war came in 1914? Why and how did efforts to avoid war fail? And why were the combatants not able to bring the war to some sort of negotiated conclusion rather than drag it on with such a huge loss of life?
or
Some important countries “sat out” much of World War I notably, Italy, the United States, and Japan. How crucial was this fact in determining the nature and course of the war? And what was the effect of early withdrawals from the war, such as Russia’s?
or
In the Spanish Civil War, who were the Nationalists and who were the Republicans? What accounted for joining one side or the other? What motivated these various factions in pursuing the war with such intensity and vengeance?
Write a coherent essay in response to the following question. Support your statements with reference to pertinent historical examples.
According to Conrad Crane, was strategic air power effective in World War II? If so, in Europe, in Asia, or in both? What does Crane think were the advantages and disadvantages of reliance on strategic bombing during World War II?
Is there a main thesis to Hew Strachans The First World War? Does Strachan believe that the war was unavoidable, a clash of inexorable forces set against one another? Did the actions of individual leaders matter? If so, up to (or down to) what level? If not, why not? Were leaders able to stay in control of the process of war? Were they able to make the war serve their nations valid purposes?

I HAVE ATTACHED READINGS…
This week we are going to look at the Gender History approach. First, there is a big difference between Women’s History and the historical interpretive approach of Gender. Women’s History is simply to make women the focus of your research topic, like studying politics, economics, or military events. Women’s History is not an interpretive approach, but instead it is a historical topic. Gender as an interpretive approach looks at the cultural meanings of what it meant to be a man or women in the past, but it can also define power relationships within a society or culture. Drawing from the methods of the Cultural History approach, gender is about culturally defined social definitions and how those can translate into social, cultural, economic, and political power. So don’t say that gender is about looking at only women. It can be about men and women, just women, or as one of our readings this week illustrates, just men.
The first article by Scott is the most important, defining article about gender ever written. In this article, Scott was the first to define gender as an interpretive approach to understanding the historical past, noting that it was not just women’s history. Scott’s article has two parts. The first part (pages 1053-1066) is a summary of what others have argued about women’s history and gender; this is not Scott’s argument or definition of gender. The second part (pages 1066-1075) contains Scott’s definition of what gender is about. In the second article, Calavita combines and race in her historical analysis of the Chinese Exclusion Act. The third article by Jeffrey Glasco applies gender to military history and labor history.
For this discussion complete all of the above readings. Some, like Scott, might seem difficult, so read them more than once if you need to.
Then, please address the following questions in your initial post:
-What is the Gendered approach to History about? What is Gender and how is it different from the topic of Women’s History? How does Scott define gender as an approach to understand the historical past? (Your task here is to define how historians define gender, which maybe different from your personal definition of gender).
-How is the Calavita article on how gender complicated the enforcement of the Chinese Exclusion Acts a good example of the use of the interpretive theory of gender? What is Calavita’s argument (thesis), and what are her conclusions?
-How does Glasco use gender as a historical approach in his article? How can he use gender, but not include any women as historical subjects in his article? Why is it important that Glasco’s article was published in a leading labor history journal rather than a military history oriented journal?
Post your initial post here. Then come back and respond to at least two more of your peers’ initial posts along with any questions addressed to you. There is a lot to cover in this discussion, but hopefully you will find the readings valuable and enlightening. Remember this discussion is about how historians define gender rather than a debate about what the “true” definition of gender is.

or this week, please choose a current event involving important issues in the United States (please avoid sports, gossip, and entertainment news). You’ll need to choose three articles from the same event. Please use the news bias chart to choose one left-leaning source, one right-leaning source, and one middle-of-the-road source. Your articles should be no more than a month old and at least five paragraphs long at a minimum. Then you will write a two-page reflection essay on your articles.
Remember, good historians and news analysts (you) remain objective in their writing.
1. Thoroughly read your articles and answer the five Ws and How.
2. Start making notes where you compare and contrast your articles. How are they different? How are they the same?
3. In your own words, give a short summary of each article.
4. For the rest of your reflection essay, you’ll discuss the significance of this current event as a political, intellectual, cultural, social, diplomatic, or economic event and its significance to society in America. In your conclusion, please discuss what you learned about news bias (remember, remain as objective and professional as possible!) and whether or not it’s important to take in a balance of new sources.
When you write, make sure you mention the titles of the articles and the news sources in your introductory paragraph.https://www.adfontesmedia.com/
