This final exam for History 212 will be TAKEN OVER TWO DAYS and
BROKEN INTO TWO PARTS: the multiple choice section and the essay.
I. MULTIPLE CHOICE: (50%)
The multiple choice section will be taken in class on Thursday,
November 20th. It will consist of 27 multiple choice questions of
which you will answer 25. The multiple choice questions will come from the
lectures since the midterms and from chapters 20, 21, 22, and 23. Some of these
you have already written while working through the individual chapters. I will
post those potential questions on the blog.
II. ESSAY: (50%) THE ESSAY IS DUE AT 5PM ON WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 26TH
You will write the essay on ONE of the following questions and
upload it to turnitin.com by Wednesday, November 26 at 5pm. Late
essays will not be accepted. The essay length is up to you. It should probably
have an introduction, body, and conclusion. Also, if you refer to class notes,
put in parenthesis (class notes). If you refer to the course textbook or other
books, be sure to cite them. Although sources are not required for this essay,
cite all sources that you choose to use!
1. The linguist and political critic Noam Chomsky once said that
“Nationalism has a way of oppressing others.” Throughout this course we have
seen a variety of nationalisms. Overall, has nationalism been a positive or
negative force in world history?
2. What caused the “scramble for Africa?” What caused the
decolonization movements after World War Two? After discussing both of those
specific events, create a general theory of causation in history. In essence,
how does historical change occur?
3. In class, we spoke about World War One and World War Two as
global wars. We discussed the impact of the globe on the war and the impact of
the war on the globe. How is war different when it occurs in a global setting?
Is there a connection between globalization, industrialization, and war?
