Start it now, and save time over the break!
Over this spring break, I will asking that you complete a DBQ essay on the United States' reaction to the start of WWII.
Here's what you have to do:
After World War I, events in Europe caused the United States to review its foreign
policy. This review led to controversies between those who supported a return to
isolationism and those who wanted to see the United States take a more active role
in world affairs.
Using information from the documents and your knowledge of United States
history, answer the questions that follow each document in Part A. Your answers to
the questions will help you write the Part B essay in which you will be asked to
Discuss United States foreign policy toward Europe prior to World War II. In
your discussion, include the arguments used by those who supported isolationism
and those who were opposed to it.
The essay comes directly from the June 2005 Regents Exam. For the DBQ's and the essay CLICK HERE.
Essays may be typed, emailed, or neatly handwritten. The assignment is due ON WEDNESDAY APRIL 11, 2007. NO EXCEPTIONS. NO EXCUSES! Any papers not turned in at that time will receive a grade of ZERO.
If you choose to email me the essay, you must save it as a document first. I will not accept essays inside of an email.
