Classroom Based Assessment for World History:Causes of Conflict:Research and Persuasive Writing

As you research a conflict from the past or present and analyze it from historical and economic perspectives, use the OPAC (On line Public Access Catalog) to locate books and materials in the BHS library. Remember to type in your topic or subject first and then click on the appropriate icon like keyword, subject, title or author.

Here are some resources both print and electronic that may help you find information on the following causes of conflict: American Revolution (1765-1774), French Revolution (1789-1815), Chinese Revolution (1911-1989), Mexican Revolution (1910-1940), Revolt in India (1857-1947), Cuban Revolution (1492-1991), and Russian Revolution (1917):
