Discussion Post

Answer the following study questions in a 300-word minimum essay, 100 words minimum for each of the 3 questions posed, naming, quoting, and citing the assigned sources, i.e., your textbook, the documentary film, a Recorded Lecture OR a Powerpoint Lecture at least once each for all three required sources. Do not answer in bullet points or in a numbered list, but write at least 3 full paragraphs, one paragraph in response to each of the questions posed of a minimum length of 100-words each. At the end of your essay YOU MUST post a study question of your own for your fellow students to consider and answer in their response posts. PROMPT:

1. Referring to the Film and to the Powerpoint Lecture, what actions and attitudes of the European Empires led to their violent implosion and the onset of World War I? Give your explanation of the “Domino Effect” in your answer.

2. What were the acts and events that ultimately drew the United States into World War I? What attitudes about Europe did Americans harbor that made out entrance into WWI a difficult choice to make?

3. What did you learn about WWI and the role of the United States in that war that you did not know before? How does that influence your attitudes about our history for the last 100 years since that war ended?

***I recommend you write your essay FIRST on a word processing program and either copy and paste it into the submission window OR upload your saved file instead. Either option is okay with me.

DO NOT FORGET TO FINISH YOUR ENTRY WITH A STUDY QUESTION OF YOUR OWN. I’ve attached my previous weeks feedback too
