Research paper on World War I
The Great War (World War I). In this paper you will select to write about either a cause of the conflict or a consequence of this war. This is a very broad topic and to write an effective paper, you will narrow this topic to focus on a particular aspect. A great deal has been written about this war and you will have no difficulty finding material, however, you must carefully document any material that you find and also make sure it is a credible, “scholarly” source. Wikipedia, history.com, or info.com does not fall into this category. For this paper a minimum of three scholarly sources should be consulted. The Valencia Library is a great place to find sources for this project. I have left the parameters for this assignment fairly broad so you may select something you find interesting. Try to create a perspective or position and convey what you find to be true in a scholarly manner. Remember, the use of “I” in a research paper should be avoided.
