HISTORY 020 – WW2/New World Order (Choose One), Third World/Cold War (Choose One), and Late Twentieth Century (1960 – 2000s)

(PLEASE NO OUTSIDE SOURCES, I ATTACHED SOURCES NEEDED)


For each section, choose one of the two questions and answer it in essay format. 

For each essay answer: 

     (1) Respond to the prompt with a sentence or two that introduces your argument and main
points; 


     (2) For each section, use at least 4 key terms (7-8 is best!) provided, demonstrating comprehension
of them and their historical significance—underline them.

     (3) For each section cite evidence from at least 2 readings. 

     (4) For each section cite evidence from at least 1 lecture. 

Use in-line (in-text) citations as we did with Paper 1 and the Midterm to refer to readings and
lectures. 
(See footnotes below if you have questions.) 

You will be evaluated based on your demonstration of understanding of key terms, your ability
to form a good argument that responds to the prompt and your use of evidence from readings
especially and lectures a bit that shows a deeper understanding.

Concentrate on a reply to each prompt that shows a deep understanding of the terms and their
significance to world history, especially as derived from the readings. Don’t just retell us main
points from lecture or define term. Instead explain how terms relate to a bigger argument
about world history. Delve into the readings and find extra evidence, explaining how it supports
or complicates your argument.

Each of your 3 replies should run about 400 words or 2 pages. It is OK to run over, but limit
each to no more than 600 words.

Section I –WW2 and a New World Order (Choose One) – 1940 – 1960 – 7.6 pts

how the aftermath of World War 2, including development of new weapons, shaped

1. (Environment/Human Rights/Globalization) In the late 20th century, many
environmental disasters were simultaneously global events with major human rights

attention to the environmental disaster.

2. (Globalization/Environmentalism/Human Rights) Choose three of the following
