- 2 Write your papers on a general topic area that draws on an area of
- intrest to your self. ie "The French revolution would not have happened if
- the Fronde had not failed". I did that one when I took a simerlar class, in
- this paper I looked at the predominates of women as leaders of this revolt
- in the aristoricy. (there were more women then men leading this one). It
- may be one reason why it is not heavly studied, because it showed women in
- a light that the current socity could handle.
-
- 3 You have facts and you have fictions passed off as facts, check
- everything as much as possible something intresting may pop up.
-
- 4 Everything builds on everything else. The changes in the ruling styles
- between the medieval Henery VII and his son the modern Henery the VIII and
- this development going on in Spain and France.
-
- 5 Ideas are great modivators. and are linked to events, remember the idea
- you may remember the events that was spawned by it. ie the development of
- the nazi movement in Germany was a direct result of the neo-romantic
- movement.
-
- 6 By rembering the ideas you will be aware when they show up in the current
- headlins.
-
- 7 what is going on in Eastern Europe today is a result of the failure of
- wwi and the leage on nations to solve the crisus of nationality there. and
- in so cases it goes back to the 15 century when the Turks were at the gates
- of Vienna. and the displacement of a number of populations encluding the
- Serbs who were pushed a head of the them.
-
- I hope this helps, introductory survey classes are very survivable. Get
- what you can out of it. rember please save you papers you might use them as
- the bases for another paper for a different class.
