Argumentative essay
Write an essay that answers the following question. Make sure you use good evidence and examples from lectures and the readings to support your arguments:
The number of people who died unnatural deaths in the twentieth-century West—death through violence or politically motivated deprivation—is truly staggering, with the number of victims reaching well into the tens of millions. Why was the twentieth-century West so violent? Explain what you think are the three most important factors that led to such bloodshed and killing over the century. Overall, was this high death toll attributable to the same factors we have seen causing violence in the West throughout the semester, only on a larger scale, or were there unique new elements in the twentieth century that especially contributed to the brutality?(Please always follow the assignment’s prompt to write the essay)

These exams are not research papers, but papers designed to evaluate how well you can use material from this class—readings, lectures, and discussions—to present a convincing historical argument. In order for it to be successful, you will need to draw on both lecture and reading material. If I see material in your paper that did not come from our class, it will only hurt your score, and I will grow suspicious about where you found this information if you have not cited it properly. Anyone caught plagiarizing—i.e., presenting other people’s ideas as if they were your own—will be punished according to the cheating policy on the syllabus. If you have any questions about what does and does not constitute plagiarism (some cases of plagiarism are due more to carelessness rather than an intention to cheat), do not hesitate to ask me.
-To cite documents and books we have read in this class, you need only put the author’s name in parentheses at the end of the sentence that contains the quote or reference, followed by the page number. You need not cite lecture material—I will know the material you are pulling from the lectures. (For these requirement, because I can not give you the lecture materials, so please use the supplement readings, somehow the textbook, don’t use the outside source!)
-The success of your papers will depend largely on your ability to develop a strong thesis (argument) in your introduction, and then support this thesis with solid, appropriate evidence. A good thesis does not simply summarize what you are going to write. Rather it introduces the reader to the specific historical argument you will be defending with the rest of your paper. Remember, if your thesis is so vague that someone else in the class could not reasonably argue against it, or it simply restates the question in the form of a statement, then it is probably not very good.
-A good thesis takes a position on the major issue raised by the prompt, and introduces the argument you are going to try to convince the reader of with the rest of the essay. It also offers the reader a basic understanding of why you are taking the position you do. This means it is not enough to simply take a position on the issue—you also need to offer the reader, in a concise sentence clause, a sense of why you are taking this position.
For example, if I were to ask you to write an essay on whether World War II was inevitable, or if it could have been avoided with better diplomacy, a weak thesis might simply state: “World War II was inevitable.” Although this takes a position, it does nothing more than restate the question in the form of a statement, and no matter how insightful the rest of the essay is, none of your insights will be working to support an effective argument. A better but still mediocre argument might say something like “World War II was inevitable because of the political conditions of the 1930s.” It’s better, but still vague—what political conditions, in particular, made diplomacy impossible in the 1930s? A stronger thesis might say something like “World War II was inevitable because, regardless of the actions of Britain and France, Hitler was determined to start a war in order to expand Germany’s borders and its power in central Europe.” Note that this is not the “correct” answer to the prompt—your classmates might make equally compelling arguments that World War II was not inevitable, for any number of convincing reasons. But this thesis takes a position on the major issue of the prompt, and lets the reader know how you will support it. The goal of the rest of the essay will be to support this thesis—not give an overview of the build up to World War II, but to directly support the case that diplomacy was hopeless given Hitler’s acceptance of the inevitability of war.
