Your fifth weekly paper is due at the beginning of class Tuesday, October 10. As always, it must be typed double-spaced, but we will shift gears from primary source analysis to review of secondary sources. For this assignment, you should draw on Western Civilizations and lectures.
Please write 1-2 paragraphs about each of the following:
People
Prince Otto von Bismarck
Count Camillo Benso di Cavour
Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, a.k.a. Emperor Napoleon III
Events
Boer War
Dreyfus Affair
Revolutions of 1848 (France and Habsburg Empire)
The “who” or “what” is only the starting point. Each has significance in terms of what or more of the major issues that we have discussed in class.
This Thursday’s Discussion
For Thursday, October 5, in Perspectives from the Past, chap. 23, read:
