The West and the World since 1500

Paper 3

HST 1200

Choose one of these topics:

· Discuss how the concept of rights expanded from the 18th century to the 20th century.

· How were nationalism and war connected in the 19th or 20th century?

· How did leaders go about creating a strong state in the period covered by the course?

These topics are intentionally broad so you must FOCUS your paper by choosing one or several examples to discuss in depth. A good paper will have a clear argument that is supported with evidence.
