writes -- the first half of the 20th century. Bigchang.wps Why Countries Become Involved In World Conflict :
6 pages in length. War has been raging on virtually since time
began. There has been no point in history where there was
not some kind of conflict brewing among power hungry leaders
that would either result in the overwhelming loss of human life or
the takeover of innocent people for their lands wealth. Why
is this so? Intolerance is a significant factor among the many
reasons countries enter into world conflicts. Coupled with
the fact that each nation believes it is worthy of more status
and power than all others, it is not surprising that the
phenomenon of world conflict continues even today. The
writer discusses the phenomenon of national participation in
global conflict. Bibliography lists 5 sources. Whywar.wps

U.S. Race Riots Around The Time Of World War I :
An 8 page research paper which discusses the numerous riots
that occurred between 1915-1919. While most people are
familiar with racial rioting such as those which occurred
during the 1960s the writer demonstrates how riots between
1915 to 1919 were fundamentally different from those in the
60s. Sixties riots were characterized by violence which was
primarily directed against property. The riots in the early part
of this century were characterized by violence directed
toward people. They were bloody and brutal-partly because
African-Americans were finally fighting back. Bibliography

World War I : A 5 page paper discussing the
domestic and
international causes of WWI. From those we examine the
after effects which led to the somewhat stable order that
existed in the post war countries of Russia and the United
States. Much like any after math of war, there must be some
adjustments that allow for the countries to exist in peace for
some time, especially in regards to countries which possess
the power that the former Soviet Union and the United States
did. Without some form of stability in this respect, incidents
might well occur that could not be retrieved. Bibliography

The Progressive Era : 5 pages in length. A great
number of
the people who lived in the United States during the 1920's
were the same people who had lived there during the
Progressive Era, a period of change that took place from
approximately 1900 to1920. Yet some historians have
claimed that Progressive ideals were lost and that those same
Americans demonstrated a self-centered intolerance during
the 1920's. This paper will address the question of why some
historians have such a negative and pessimistic opinion of
people who lived during that time, as well as discuss the
differences between America in the 1920's as compared to the
Progressive Era. Bibliography lists 4 sources. Progera.wps
