In this assignment, you will submit your final paper. Your final paper must be 4–7 pages of text, plus a title page and APA-formatted reference page. You may include properly cited graphics, such as pictures, maps, and graphs if you like.

Imagine that you are a time-traveling journalist who covers military conflicts. Your assignment is to cover either the American Revolution or Civil War, and then time-travel to a revolution or civil war in another country. If you choose to cover the American Revolution, you’ll also cover another country's revolution; if you choose to cover the American Civil War, you'll also cover another country's civil war. Examples of revolutions include the Third Servile War (Spartacus Revolt), the French Revolution, the Haitian Revolution, and the Bolshevik Revolution. Examples of civil wars include Rwanda, Syria, Cambodia, and Yemen.

You'll be writing this from the perspective of an observer of the two conflicts. You will begin by creating a character. Tell your reader who this character is and make him or her feel real and relatable to your reader. As you cover the required content of this paper, make it personal. Use the first person, describe events as if you witnessed them yourself, talk about people you met, and describe how all of this affected you. Feel free to create some adventure or peril for your character! The key is to make your paper realistic and personal.

You'll provide information about each conflict, including the cause or causes, groups involved, leadership, major events of the conflict, impact on civilians, and outcome. You will then compare and contrast the two conflicts. Remember that this is to be written from a personal perspective! As you conclude your paper, write about what you learned from witnessing the two conflicts and how the experience affected you.

Read the following primary sources from the travels of John mandeville and hernan cortes’s letter to Charles V. Then write a paper 1300-1500 words with a STRONG thesis statement and argument backed up with evidence from the primary sources. Your paper will be a response to one of the questions provided, with your answer serving as a thesis statement. 

1. There are things that are obviously untrue in each of these documents. Identify one element that is untrue or highly exaggerated in both documents (that is, one exaggeration you find in BOTH documents). Why is there this similarity in the texts? That is, what does this exaggeration or false information tell us about what Europeans believed to be beyond Europe? 

HINT: you want your answer to address the what (was exaggerated or untrue in both documents) and why (was this false information included in both documents). So your thesis will look something like: Both Mandeville and Cortes  mention purple monsters in their text because Europeans believed that purple monsters represented the opposite of humanity. 

2. Europeans, and especially the Spanish, justified conquest in Christian religious terms, arguing that conquest was intended to spread Christianity or unite Christians. Look at how both texts discuss religion and look for similarities and differences. Is religion the primary motivating factor? If not, what is the motivating factor and what role did religion play?

HINT: you may argue that it is, that it was a factor but that something else was the primary factor, that something else far outweighed religion, or any number of things. DO mention religion, and why it is included, but it doesn’t need to be the main focus of the paper if you think something else is more important. 

Citing evidence: it is important for you to ground your argument in evidence from both primary sources. Incorporate the source material into your own writing by paraphrasing or quoting. It is best to use parenthetical citation rather than Chicago style citation. Example of parenthetical citation: (Cortes) or (mandeville). Do not use any other source but the tow provided.
