I need help on making a thesis statement for History?
Hi, for my final assessment I have to write an essay (like 500-600 words) for a final assessment. The thesis statement should summarize and explain the last 140 years of history and help explain the world the way it is now. It can range from how Africa was divided up into colonies, Latin America, America industrialization, China (and Japan) history, World War I, World War II, Cold War, Vietnam, Gulf War, 9/11, Iraq War to now. I am leaning toward that "conflicts" are what shaped the history we know now. It would be very helpful to add something along the lines of this or even a new thesis statement that you think summarizes the last 140 years of history. Thank you!!
Thanks but its not like an event per year. I can talk like 3 to 5 events. It's not really the evidence that I need help but rather the one thesis statement (one sentence) that summarizes events over the last 140 years like World War II and Vietnam war. The only reason this is so important is because its worth a lot of points. I have a vague one in mind: "The conflicts over the past 140 years are really what shaped the world now as it affects the society, relations between countries, etc.

I am not going to write it but I can give you a guide! Conflicts since 1874, go through each year and list, in a paper, chronologically, the major conflicts that shaped the world today. (1874 - Hawaii and US).
Do it by decade as you are not going to go year by year. You will have 140 events. Reduce them down to half the number. Then half of that. Then half of it until you are left with about 5 or 6 events, the most significant ones.
Write about 100 words for each event. Use the first 50 or so words to describe how conflicts alter the course of history!
If you need more help, you can post it again once you are down to 20 or so - and then we can help you downsize. Or you can just post your thesis statements once you have picked your events and we will nudge you if you have left something important out!
