Big+Era+Eight+Essay+Museum

__Big Era Eight Essay Museum __ To further your use and skills of including evidence within your written work, this page provides specific pieces that you may include in your essay. Each item is titled and divided depending whether they are documents, images, etc. Each has a number, for example "Document 1: Title".

When you are writing your essay and need to include specific evidence you will write "As seen in document 1, (then give the title)...". This will enable you move more swiftly but clearly from one piece of evidence to another to support the main point of your paragraphs. You do not only need to use evidence from this site, but a combination of textbook notes, class notes and primary & secondary sources will serve you best (including films we watched in class).

If need be, here is the Big Era Eight Power Point

Here is a down-loadable copy of the class notes that review the Big Era Eight - YOU MUST READ!!!



**Documents/Page Links**
 Document 1 - [|India's Independence]

Document 2 (actually multiple documents found at the website below). I have made suggestions for ones of specific interest. -[|The Soviet Union/Russa since 1945]  The Link that is titled simply "Russia" and it takes you to a page that lists various articles about the Mao/Stalin "friendship" and could be a feature of a paragraph.

Document 3 - [|Categories of Weapons and Nonproliferation] This website was a direct link from the UN's website. It categorizes weapons and makes many references to the two World Wars that we've studied. If you look to the bar on the upper left side there is a link to the "UN Role". I suggest a look at this portion of the website as well.

Document 4 - [|On Human Rights and the United Nations] Another link on the UN Website is concerning the role of the United Nations and history of global human rights. The page begins with the year 1945 (hmmmmmm.....how interesting).

Document 5 [|- The Franck Report] This Report in short, is about the concerns surrounding the use of an atomic weapon during war.
