What are the various conclusions,insights and arguments made by historians over the nature of different wars in the middle ages?

Historiography (How Do Modern Historians Interpret Medieval Warfare)

For this order I need a 10 page historiography paper about how modern historians (secondary sources) interpret medieval warfare. The main questions that should be answered are:

What are the various conclusions,insights and arguments made by historians over the nature of different wars in the middle ages? [what do these historians say about what medieval war was exactly? its composition, its way of fighting, what made it distinct?] What aspect of war – causes [religion–see Riley-Smith, for example], motivation [how do the historians on the list argue for different motives], technology [ [atrocities, for example in the crusades; rules of war]], conduct, on-the-ground experience – do different historians focus on? [how do they compare and contrast with each other]]And how do the particular wars they study – Crusades, 100 Years’ War – shape their analysis? [eg, how does studying the First Crusade inform the authors analysis?]

The sources you should use are listed below. You can find all of these online but can find some in your local library if need be.

HIST 421 American Ethnicity and Pluralism

3. What historical factors contributed to giving the European colonists of what is now the United States such racist views?How much progress do you think has been made in racial/ethnic relations in the U.S. over the years?

4.How has slavery and its history impacted the development of the United States, even to the present day?

5. What factors contributed to the success of the Civil Rights movement in the 1950’s and 1960’s in moving toward greater equality and opportunity for all Americans?

What do you feel were the three most important cultural impacts of these growing connections,and why did you pick those?

Final exam

1. For the period 600 BCE to 1200 CE, compare and contrast the societies of Africa with the societies of the Americas. (This can be done by selecting several points of comparison, and then using just one or two societies from Africa and one or two from the Americas as examples to illustrate your points).

2. Compare and contrast the society and culture of the Islamic Civilization and Christian Civilization (“Christendom”) during the period of time Strayer calls the “Third Wave” of civilization, and what is also sometimes called the “Middle Ages” (approximately 600-1450 CE at its broadest). Please note, this is not asking you to compare the religious beliefs of the religions of Islam and Christianity, but rather to focus on the broader society and culture of these two civilizations.

3. All of these chapters in Part 3 of your texbook talk about the impact of increasing connection between civilizations (whether through trade, exploration, or conquest) on cultures (including religions). What do you feel were the three most important cultural impacts of these growing connections, and why did you pick those?

4. First, explain how a relatively small number of Mongols come to create the world’s largest land empire. Second, think about Part 3 of your book (which includes Chapters 7-12): All of Part 3 deals with increasing interactions between civilizations as trade and commerce expanded, and about how the cultures of the world were changed because of this. So then, why is there a chapter about the Mongols in this section of the book? (Or put another way – describe the role the Mongols played in creating a more interconnected world).

Trace and discuss the connection of commerce and trade between the cultures of this unit and their effect on world history.

The Unit III Exam is worth 60 points and should be done exactly the same as the others: two double spaced typed pages (minimum) for EACH ESSAY ANSWER; parenthetical citing [Ways, 124], and ABSOLUTELY NO OUTSIDE SOURCES.

Every effort to have this done on time should be made. There are five days past the end of the semester in which grades can be turned in, but we want to avoid getting too far into that if we can. So, you have the two official days to do the exam, but you can spill over into the grading period by 2 more if you absolutely have to.
