test essay topics

1) What Clue or Clues Suggest to you that the Major Powers expected the Crisis Between Austria-Hungary and Serbia would Lead to war? The Alliance System in Europe in 1914 was designed to maintain Peace, yet it seemed to make the conflict worse once the fighting began. Explain the inconsistency. What other Factors lead to the war in Europe? How could the Nations have avoided the Conflict? How was there no stopping the Conflict once it Began?

2) Analyze why the United States was at first so removed from the conflict in Europe. What forces drew the nation toward war? What goals did the United States Have regarding the War in Europe?

How Would you address Congress to Convince Them not to Go to War? Would you keep the US out of War? Why or Why Not?

3) Discuss the Strategy of Conflict developed during WW1 by the Central Powers and the Allied Powers. How was the strategy not effective? What were the results of the Strategy, and the outcome for the war, the men, etc.? What happened when America joined the war? How did this change the outcome?
