Answer the essay question (minimum 750 words) according to the following

guidelines:

1. Write a clear thesis in your opening paragraph.

 

2. Accurately support your thesis with source-based evidence. (Lecture,

Textbook, Primary, and Secondary. Course sources only!!!)

 

3. Reference time and place throughout.

 

4. Analyze at least FIVE “events” OF YOUR CHOICE from world history since

1700 (i.e. the Atlantic Slave trade, the Industrial Revolution, World War One).

 

5. Address a broad geographic scope: Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas.

(This is World History, after all).

 

6. Argue logically & persuasively – either “yes” or “no” – but address both sides.

 

 

 

 

Question: Many scholars today see the “Global View” of modern history as little more

than a narrative of Eurocentrism—a story that ultimately reaffirms the rise of European

power and culture. Given everything you have learned about world history since 1700,

do you agree with these historians?
