Write an essay that answers one of the following questions:
Describe and analyze the breakup of the Ottoman Empire after World War I and the creation of the mandate system. How did these events shape the history of the Middle East during the early to mid 20th century?
Explain the role of nationalism in the Middle East up to and after the Second World War. In your answer, make sure to select three specific countries from the readings.
Each exam must be 6-7 pages in length, double-spaced, numbered, include 1 inch margins, use 12 point Arial, Calibri, or Times New Roman, and include a cover page that identifies who you are, the title of the course, the name of your instructor, and state either Midterm Exam or Final Exam.
The Introduction section should clearly state the thesis within the first 1-2 paragraphs. The thesis must be relevant and appropriate to the argument and demonstrate an accurate and complete understanding of the question(s). It should do more than restate the question(s) and offer a brief response and it should be free of grammar & spelling errors.
The Argument section should incorporate pertinent details from assigned coursework. Appropriate outside sources are permitted. The section must provide relevant historical evidence to support the thesis and the key claims made in the argument as needed. It should maintain focus and avoid getting sidetracked. It should present your answer(s) to the question(s) asked clearly and concisely in an organized manner and it should be free of grammar & spelling errors.
The Conclusion section should be in the last part of your essay exam within the last 1-2 paragraphs. It should briefly restate the thesis and summarize the main points of the argument. It should not contain new information. It should, however, demonstrate insight and understanding regarding the question(s) asked and it should be free of grammar & spelling errors.
The exam must include footnotes or endnotes and a Bibliography page. The citation style must be Chicago. You may consult the short guide linked at the bottom. The selected sources must be appropriate to the exam topic, the citations must support the assertions made in the exam, and footnotes or endnotes must be used in each instance where detailed explanations would distract from the argument. A suggested scope of research is 5-7 scholarly sources and one map or graphic if applicable.
