The paper is analytical, not descriptive. Above all, it is a “source-driven” paper. This assignment hones students’ abilities to analyze causality and to support their analyses (thesis statement or “argument”) from primary sources.
Do not devote any paragraphs to “background.” Assume that your reader already has a “wikipedia-level” acquaintance with the history.
This paper is 8-pages long, double-spaced. It is designed to be the length suitable for undergraduate conference presentations.
