History 3C

De Anza College

Paper #1: Revolutions

Consider the revolutions that occurred in the New World and France in the late 18^th and early 19^th centuries. What caused them? Did they achieve their aims? Why? Now, compare those political revolutions with the economic revolution of industrialization. Were they related? Which affected people more? Use the textbook, and the documents at the end of chapters 16 and 17 to examine these “twin revolutions” in a global context. Why did these revolutions occur where they did? What consequences did they have for the rest of the world?

You must cite your sources, and list them at the end of your paper as a List of References. Please do not “borrow” material from the web without providing proper citations and enclosing direct quotations in quotation marks. Otherwise, it will be considered plagiarism, and the penalties will be severe.

Typed, double-spaced, 12-point type, 600-800 words. Use MLA formatting.

For help with MLA formatting, consult the Purdue Owl (on-line writing lab).

Note: before sending the assignment, you must rename the file in the following format: LastnameFirstname-papernumber. Example: JacksonChristopher-paper1. If the file is not properly named, it will not be accepted. If the file cannot be opened with MS-Word, it will not be accepted. Please put the course number and the file name in the subject line of the e-mail. For example: Subject: History 3C JacksonChristopher-paper1. (That allows me to better keep track of the several hundred papers that I receive during the quarter.)
